"Family and friends of Tameka “Tiny” Cottle held an elegant baby shower for her yesterday afternoon in Buckhead.

Celeb couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony celebrated the upcoming arrival of their baby (or babies, as rumored) with a shower, hosted by producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, yesterday (January 19) on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City. According to PEOPLE magazine, guests were seen arriving with presents that were topped with pink ribbons and some with blue, which adds to the speculation that Jennifer and Marc are expecting twins. Recently, Jennifer's sister Lynda Lopez gave the couple a set of pink and blue onesies from Tuni & G. The 38-year-old actress is rumored to give birth in March (or perhaps January or February...) to the couple's special arrival(s).

J. LO SAYS SHE'S 'A BIT FREAKED OUT' BY HER 42 LBS. PREGNANCY WEIGHT GAIN; SUES HILFIGER.

Jennifer Lopez has recently made it known that she is "freaked out" by her expanding stomach. The 39-year-old is five months pregnant with husband March Anthony's baby. But Lopez says the pregnancy is taking its toll on her figure. She says, "I've put on 42 pounds and my belly's all pudgy. I don't know what's going on. It's amazing, but I'm a bit freaked out by it."

Bless her heart.

The Latina beauty has now reportedly vowed to put her career on hold and keep a low profile until she gives birth in the spring. According to one source, "She plans to do a Victoria Beckham now and hibernate for the last few months. You won't be seeing much of her in public from now on." Last week, J.Lo fuelled speculation she is expecting twins by buying matching pink and blue romper suits embroidered "princess" and "prince". J.Lo and Marc have also registered their baby shower gift list at exclusive Los Angeles baby boutique Petit Tresor, and added to the twin rumors by requesting most items in pairs. The diva has also booked Petit Tresor to design nurseries at the couple's estates in Bel Air, Fisher Island, and Oyster Bay.


In other Lopez news, the star is planning to sue fashion designer Andy Hilfilger, the brother of fashion legend Tommy Hilfiger after their business partnership turned sour. The pair joined forces to launch Lopez' Sweetface label - but split last year in 2006, after the line flopped at New York Fashion Week. It is alleged Andy fell out with Lopez because of her husband Marc Anthony's hands-on approach to the label. Now sources tell the New York Daily News that rival lawsuits are being prepared: "It is expected that she will file suit and that he will countersue. They're likely to sue each other."

PICS: NICOLE RICHIE'S BABY SHOWER; BFF SUSPECTED OF LEAVING PRIVATE PHOTOS TO TABLOIDS.

On November 18th socialite, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden celebrated their impending arrival with family and friends at a Wizard of Oz-themed baby shower held at the Beverly Hills hotel. The celebration, planned by Mindy Weiss, included touches like ruby slipper centerpieces, a yellow brick road lined with candy, a live band performing tunes from the classic flick, such as Somewhere Over the Rainbow and a cake read, There's no place like having a baby at home. Guests included Paris and Nicky Hilton, Lauren Conrad and Rashida Jones. "It's nice to be supported by your friends and family. There are people here I haven't seen in so long." Richie told her guests at the event.

In lieu of extravagant gifts, Nicole and Joel asked their guests to bring along their favorite children's books to begin a library for their baby, and asked that other presents be donated to the Richie Madden Children's Foundation, their new project with the Los Angeles Free Clinic, which will provide 100 mom-to-be kits to less fortunate families in the L.A. area. Joel said, "It's a really cool way we can celebrate our child's life with something positive. And celebrate other young couples who are just starting out and will enjoy all these things that people donated."

Although a recent report yesterday said that Nicole received a boy-themed t-shirt, the couple repeated again to InStyle that they do not know the sex of their baby, and hammered that point home by serving pink, blue, and yellow martinis, as well as sending guests home with pashmina wraps in the same color combinations.

Richie is due to give birth in early January.

In related news, according to the New York Daily News, Richie's on-again-and-off again BFF is suspected of leaking pictures of Nicole Richie's baby shower to a third party who is trying to sell them to the tabloids. InStyle magazine was granted exclusive coverage of the baby shower, but personal photos taken by guests with their own cameras were reportedly snapped as well. A source tells the Daily News' Gatecrasher column that guest Paris Hilton may have been behind photos on the black market for a reported $3,000 to $4,000 asking price. "All the photos that were offered had Paris right in the center of them, as the star," the insider said. "They look set up. …None of the money would have been for Paris — for her it's about the attention."
