Apparently Jennifer and Marc are going to travel all around the American continents, searching for the best Latin performers in the most unlikely places.  The idea, of course, is to uncover talent that would otherwise die a lonely death, but I imagine the hosts and producers of the show stand to gain just a little bit of money and attention, as well.  They need to fire whoever came up with that name, though

53rd annual Puerto Rican Day Parade 2010 (MyFoxNY.com)

Marc Anthony led off as the parade’s “international godfather” with gorgeous wife J-Lo at his side. Originally telenovela star Osvaldo Rios was slated to lead the march, but withdrew after a domestic violence conviction for assaulting his girlfriend caused outrage over his participation.

The annual Puerto Rican Day Parade started at 11 AM and marches from 44th Street to 86th street. This year the parade and celebration were shortened to five hours instead of seven and the route cut down by seven blocks.

The theme for this year’s parade is “Helping Build a Better Community.”

Because even on Jenny’s block there’s a recession. Couture jewelry designers often loan their pricey baubles, for stars to wear at awards shows and other high-profile functions. Like seeing Stalker Aniston wearing a $6 million dollar necklace is going to compel you to run out and buy one. I digress.

Jennifer borrowed $50,000 worth of diamonds from Robert Mouawad to attend the launch of Andrea Lieberman’s fashion line, ALC, at Barneys in Beverly Hills. It’s not the Oscars, but Jenny won’t be up for one of those, ever. Lucky Robert Mouwad; diva decided to keep the loaner diamonds to add to her private collection.

“We received a call from her manager Benny Medina, informing us that Jennifer was going to keep the jewelry,” an insider blabbed to the NY Posts yesterday. “As far as Mr. Mouawad is concerned, Jennifer can have whatever she wants, but a premature demand seemed presumptuous.”

Fools! Presumptuous is J. Lo’s middle name! J. P. Lo will inform you via her peeps that today is YOUR lucky day…’cuz she’s ripping you off. No need to thank her. She might even use whatever it is twice!

“Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14,” a friend of the couple tells us. “Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell. They’re definitely planning a clean break in February.”

Oh, the drama! “Surprise, Marc! Happy Valentine’s day, suckah. I’m leavin’ your bony ass! In front of thousands!” Skeletor and J. Lo have been married just over four years and are the parents of 10-month-old twins Max and Esme. They renewed their vows in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony back in October, but sources close to the pair say that it didn’t help, and that their relationship has been on a downward spiral in recent months. Lopez, 39, raised eyebrows when she arrived at “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” premiere in early December without her wedding or engagement rings.

Skeletor, 40, has been spotted sans his own wedding band at N.Y.C. hot spots such as Bungalow 8. He was also caught partying — bandless — with pal Eva Longoria Parker at Lavo in Las Vegas on Dec. 8. Eva needs to get some LASIC. Looks like Jennifer finally did. Marc’s reportedly a control freak, and J. Lo blames him for controlling her right out of a career. We’ll see if this can breathe some life into her slump…maybe she should start calling the papz like Britney! Cheeto run!

OK magazine says Jennifer is pissed at Marc for not letting her show her booty any more, and making her wear matron-wear instead. He’s been picking out her clothes and monitoring her phone calls! She also blames him for her lack of a career now, and he reportedly isn’t ANY help with the twins.

Not to be outdone, Marc has been badmouthing his wife. One night after their tense family Thanksgiving in which the couple “didn’t sit together,” he hit NYC hotspots Bungalow 8 and Marquee, where he was spotted with his hand on a woman’s thigh and overheard complaining about his wife to a group of women, “telling them, ‘She’s making me miserable,’” a source says.

Looks like Jennifer must have gotten Lasik treatments, and realized she’s been sleeping with a zombie. If it means WE don’t have to look at Skeletor any more, Snarkista says GO FOR IT, girl.

“couldn’t understand why everyone is talking about that swimmer. She couldn’t come up with (eight-time gold-medal winner Michael) Phelps’ name, and then she blabbed on about how SHE was the one training for a triathlon just six months after giving birth, and how that SHE was the big story right now, not ‘the swimmer.’ “

This is a new high in inches for how far J. Lo’s head is up her own ass. That’s gotta be worth at least a bronze medal. Bitch, get back to “training” in Central Park with your makeup artist, while Skelator follows you on the Segway. Snarkista’s pretty sure Phelps will say “Jennifer Who?” IF he hears the news. She seriously doubts he has that much free time.

Rebecca Romijn is pregnant with twin girls! She and hubby Jerry O’Connell just celebrated their one-year anniversary on July 15th, but it looks like their two big gifts will arrive closer to Christmas time! Rebecca and Jerry met at a bash in 2004 and he proposed a year later. A source close to the actor told Us magazine, “Jerry couldn’t be happier about becoming a dad.”

Earlier this month, O’Connell told the mag that they had been trying to have kids. We’ll have to wait and see if the first pictures of the twins will bring more than pictures of a single baby. Congratulations to the lucky couple!

Jennifer is training for a triathlon. In October. I’m very supportive. I’ll be on my Segway (encouraging her).

Skelator’s too frail to walk! Or to talk in long sentences. Jenny’s bloodsucking has now confined him to Segway travel. He’s also exhausted from caring for the twins ‘cuz Diva keeps running off the nannies. They’ve lost several in the last 2 months because La Lopez wants them to work 48 hours a day with no break. One lasted a whole week.

J. Lo lures them in with a nice sounding salary and then works ‘em like Cinderella. The poor nannies end up making sweatshop wages because of the long hours. No wonder the latest pics of the twins look like the babes are seeing Jenny and Skelator for maybe the third time in their lives.

So if you see Jenny on your block, running like a madwoman, be sure to look out for Segway-Skelator too. Unless you look like a potential nanny, they’ll run your ass over!
