What Has J-Lo Spawned?

Take another look at that $6m spread in People on Jennifer Lopez's newborn twins. It's a picture of parental bliss. The actress displays the requisite ecstasy as she and husband Marc Anthony skip down the front drive, each pushing a stroller. (For $6m, People had a right to a bit of a show.) But turn to page 55, and look closely at Emme Maribel, the couple's daughter. Some dark intelligence is evident behind those eyes. For the close-up:

$3m Per Twin

So this is what People's $6m bid has bought. The Time Inc. magazine is finally publishing those pricey photos of Jennifer Lopez and her new twins. But no Marc Anthony: the performer's husband, unlike Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, for instance, isn't famous enough to add value to the image—which makes the price paid by People all the more extraordinary. Not only is Marc Anthony a net negative; Jennifer Lopez herself is past the peak of fame that she reached when dating Ben Affleck. But competition between celebrity weeklies has sharpened since the weeklies paid $4m for Brangelina's baby; that has caused general inflation in the price of photos; and nothing trumps the visual appeal of twins except, maybe, triplets. Awww.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre And Scott Storch: Separated At Birth?

Upon close examination of the latest evidence, Eliot Spitzer's overpriced call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre appears to in fact be twins with—or possibly the same person as—overpriced hip hop producer Scott Storch. Have you ever seen them in the same place together at the same time? We haven't. Just think about it. The visuals really make the case; after the jump, a photographic lineup that says more than words ever could. More »

Crime Doesn't Pay, But Neither Does Gay Porn

As Fleshbot reported earlier this week, big trouble for gay porn stars in Philly! A pair of twins, those adorable scamps, got into a pinch of mischief: arrested for rooftop robberies! Fun fact: "The twins are the focus of a tristate Rooftop Burglary Task force, led by New Jersey investigators, the state where many of the 40-some rooftop burglaries have been committed over the last 18 months," reports the Philadelphia Daily News. After the jump: Keyontyli Goffney's modeling portfolio. (His brother, bad seed Taleon, mainly has a rap sheet a mile long. He once escaped from cops by swimming across a pond, yelling, "You can't catch me!") More »

How To Create An "Odd News" Hit In One Easy Step

So the story about the twins, separated at birth, who accidentally married each other years later? The sole source is a speech by a nutty pro-life former MP on the floor of the irrelevant House of Lords in the UK. And there are no names nor identifying details. There is so little to this story that CNN.com could not actually squeeze three separate, distinct "STORY HIGHLIGHT" bullet points to summarize up top. Happy Friday! If it's not a slow news day, your newsmedia shall create one. [CNN]
