RUMOR HAS IT THAT ...J. LO BANS HOSPITAL STAFF FROM HER SOON-TO-BE DELIVERY ROOM; SINGER TO RAKE IN MILLIONS FOR FIRST BABY PHOTOS

Rumor has it that Jennifer Lopez has told hospital staff not to enter the room where she will give birth. The Latina beauty is set to give birth to twins, her first children with husband Marc Anthony, later this month, and has allegedly asked staff at Long Island's North Shore Medical Center not to use the room until she arrives. A source told the New York Post newspaper: "There is a room, which even has a brown leather couch, that has been sitting empty for two weeks now. No one is even allowed in there until she gets here. It's just sitting there for her." The hospital has reportedly prepared an entire suite for the 38-year-old star, complete with wooden flooring and a giant TV. It was recently revealed the hospital has been put on kidnap alert. Staff have been undertaking specialist 'Code Pink' drills to ensure they are prepared in case anyone attempts to snatch Jennifer's babies. A friend of the couple said: "Jennifer has spoken so much about how excited she is about the birth that anyone who is considering a kidnapping knows how far she would be willing to go to get her babies back." However, hospital officials claim their 'Code Pink' practice drills, which involves locking down the hospital if a baby goes missing, has nothing to do with the star's scheduled stay. Officials have played down kidnap fears, insisting the timing of the drill was "coincidental".

AFTER THE JUMP, FIND OUT HOW MUCH MOOLAH JENNIFER & MARC WILL ALLEGEDLY POCKET FOR THE FIRST PHOTOS OF THEIR TWINS.

In related news, J. Lo and Marc will rake in between $4 million and $6 million for exclusive rights to the first snaps of their expected twins, Ad Age reports today. The buyer? People — though the mag, as well as Jennifer’s reps, denied to Ad Age that any deal for U.S. rights for the pics has been finalized. The asking price will be split with OK! magazine, which will pay for the international rights for its editions around the world. If the $6 million figure turns out to be accurate, it would easily dwarf recent payouts to other A-listers: People’s current issue features Christina Aguilera with her newborn son — which was rumored to have cost the magazine $1.5 million. And in 2006, the tab shelled out an estimated $4 million for pics of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s biological daughter, Shiloh.
