It looks like a flurry of celebrity kids are ready for their mainstream debut. First it was Willow Smith whipping her hair out, then Sofia Vergara’s son Manolo posed for Got Milk?, and now J. Lo and Marc Anthony’s little ones are modeling for Gucci!

We’ve certainly caught glimpses of Max and Emme in the past, but these are probably the clearest shots we’ve seen of them in a while. And, as expected, they’re absolutely adorable! You can definitely see a bit of Marc in the little girl, while Max emulates pure J. Lo with those stylish sunglasses.

And let’s not forget Mom. Jennifer looks ravishing in the Gucci pix, sporting a sexy green dress and a cute white ensemble. It’s well known that Jennifer has a history with the brand, not just for rocking their fashions but for their combined charitable work as well.

Recently Gucci donated $1 million to UNICEF’s Schools for Africa and an additional $50,000 to J. Lo’s charity, The Maribel Initiative. We’re thinking the photo shoot was probably a way of saying thanks for their generosity and support. Now if only they could be a little more generous to the rest of us, and lower the price tags on those clothes!

We don’t know who to be more frightened for right now, Cameron Diaz or A-Rod! It seems they were both on the mind of a deranged fan who rushed the field at Yankee Stadium Monday (October 18) and tried to attack Rodriguez for dating the “woman of his dreams.”

The man, identified as 33-year-old Grim LeRogue, seems to have been infatuated with Cameron and believed that if he “got rid” of A-Rod, he would have a chance with the star. Wow. We hate to say it, but it’s times like these we’re glad we’re NOT an A-List celeb.

There’s a reason Zac Efron and J. Lo travel with those huge bodyguards. You never know what kind of undercover threats public figures receive on a regular basis. This guy happened to have a crossed-out pic of A-Rod in his pocket that had a drawing of a gun pointed at the slugger’s head!

After the incident, the man was taken to New York’s Bellevue Hospital where he ranted about Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, and Osama Bin Laden! A-Rod refused to make any comments after the attack and finished the game against the Texas Rangers. There’s been no word from Diaz either, but we doubt this will make her want to go public about the relationship anytime soon.

Yes we have to admit, it would be pretty tough focusing on the road after seeing TwitterEva Longoria Parker driving in the lane next to you, but PLEASE be careful people! Our favorite TwitterDesperate Housewife was left dazed and reportedly in pain after her car got hit on Hollywood Blvd.

The accident happened on a rainy Wednesday night (October 20) at roughly 7:30pm, right around the time when the sun goes down. According to police, the other driver was trying to make an unsafe turn into a parking lot and smashed into the actress.

Though she complained of minor aches, Longoria Parker was not taken to the hospital. TMZ has speculated that she had been driving home from her chic L.A. restaurant TwitterBeso when the fender bender took place.

We are definitely happy to hear that smash up wasn’t too serious, but it did send TwitterLongoria Yahoo searches through the roof! Obviously Eva is very much loved by her fans and we all want to see her pain-free and happy when she hosts the TwitterEurope Music Awards on November 7!

Who would have thought a 70-year-old Mexican crooner could take down both Enrique Iglesias and Prince Royce on the Billboard Charts? Well if his name happens to be Vicente Fernandez, it’s no surprise at all. With a recording career that spans 44 years, “el gran maestro” has proven once again that he has maximum staying power.

Image : WireImage

Vicente’s newest album El Hombre Que Mas Te Amo hit #1 this week on both the Regional Mexican Album and the Latin Album Charts (besting Euphoria and Luis Miguel). Not only that, the legendary singer is selling out massive venues like Madison Square Garden and the Mandalay Bay! How many senior citizens can you say that about?!

What makes “Chente” so beloved? Well he does have a pretty incredible story. Completely self-made, he started singing in the streets of Mexico in the 1950's and eventually bought a guitar with money made washing dishes at his uncle’s restaurant.

Fernandez paid his dues for over 12 years before getting noticed for hits like "Tu Camino y el Mio" and "Cantina del Barrio.” As we all know, his massive breakthrough was “Volver Volver” (still a concert staple) which took off in the 1970’s. And from there, he’s never looked back.

Now “Chente’s” got over 50 million records sold, Latin Grammys, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a new album that’s getting rave reviews. Produced by Javier Ramirez, El Hombre features over 50 musicians, engineers, and arrangers, giving it a much more contemporary feel.

And yes Fernandez has fully adapted to the modern world, managing his own MySpace page which features tour dates, sample tracks, and pix from the road. And by the looks of things, he’s not slowing down anytime soon. We can’t wait to hear what music he puts out next…maybe some ranchero auto-tune?

Cute picture or gratuitous excuse to show off your muscles? We’re thinking a little of both. Yes Mario Lopez’ daughter Gia Francesca is adorable, but do you really need to pose shirtless with her? Well if you’re in as good a shape as he is, we guess it makes sense.

Image : FilmMagic

OK! Magazine got the exclusive first shots of the newest Lopez and we think we can even spot a couple of trademark dimples underneath those chubby cheeks! Born back in September, Gia’s fast approaching two months and is the apple of both her parents’ eyes.

Obviously mama Courtney Mazza played a major role in Gia’s creation as well, but when the cameras turned on, all lenses were focused on Mario’s chest. Lifting her up, cuddling her on the bed, and flashing a smile from ear to ear, Lopez gushed about his new role as dad.

“I’m still in that shocked, euphoric stage,” Mario said. And when asked about being able to handle a little one around, he added, “I come from a big, loud Mexican Catholic family. My sister also has three kids, so I’m used to a bunch of babies [being] around.”

Hmmm…Could that mean Mario and Courtney might be in the planning stages for kid #2? All we’re saying is, don't be surprised if, in the next year or so, we see a new baby bouncing on Mario’s bare chest.

Enrique’s done it, Paulina Rubio’s done it, so why not get Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara to don the famous leche moustache for some Got Milk? pictures? That’s exactly what the advertisers did and while they were at it, they got her 19-year-old son Manolo to pose too.

Image : Got Milk?

Though he shares the same name as her TV son, the real Manolo couldn’t be more different. Tall, grown-up, and sporting more than just a passing resemblance to his famous madre, this Manny has mostly stayed under the radar.

But we’ve got to wonder, now that his face is getting plastered in a national campaign, could Manolo be on his way to an acting career himself? It wouldn’t surprise us and we’re sure it would make Sofia proud. Not that she isn’t already. As she said in her new ad,

"I love being a mom and building a strong modern family with milk. It has protein and potassium that have helped my little boy become, well, not so little."

Very nicely put and Sofia, if you happen to be reading this, we’d be happy to go out with you for milk and cookies anytime.

Official Update : Beyonce is not pregnant.  We just got new information regarding this update.  Sorry for the false alarm.

We know Beyonce and Jay-Z have always been low pro with their relationship, but this is one piece of news that no one could keep quiet about. Sources are reporting that Ms. Sasha Fierce is now pregnant with her first child!

Image : WireImage

According to Us Magazine, Beyonce was shocked and thrilled when she found out the news. And the timing actually works out pretty well. She recently wrapped up her I Am… Tour and had begun staying more close to home, working on tracks for a new studio album.

As for Jay-Z, he’s got a much-hyped memoir set to hit shelves called, “Decoded.” Perhaps he may need to add a new chapter on fatherhood now? One of his close friends, record exec Kevin Liles, told Us,

"Jay has been all about family since I met him, and he's always going to be. I wish them the best."

The magazine also got a quote from Beyonce’s sister Solange. Seeing how she’s already got a 6-year-old running around, we imagine she’d have some pretty good advice to pass down on motherhood,

“She's got the most beautiful heart. She'll be a great mom."

No word yet on the gender or the due date, but we can imagine this music power couple will be throwing one heck of a baby shower.

Talk about taking down the whole enchilada! This past week, a Mexico City borough set a Guinness World Record for creating a 230-foot-long version of the popular cheesy dish. Full of onions, peppers, and gallons of green salsa, the entire delicassee wound up weighing nearly 1.5 tons!

Image : Deetfin

Cooked up in Iztapalapa, near the country’s capital, the giant enchilada was prepared entirely on-the-spot, with no premade ingredients. And if you’re wondering about the recipe (though we DO NOT recommend trying to make this at home), it consisted of 165 lbs of corn, 602 lbs of white onion, 269 lbs of serrano chilis, 331 lbs of shredded cheese, and 33 gallons of cream. Looks like they definitely had to make a Costco run for this one!

And according Mexico City tourist secretary, Alejandro Rojas, el gigante enchilada was a smashing success,

“With this Guinness record, we are showing the world that Iztapalapa is a high-level tourist destination.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first Guinness World Record that Mexico City has vied for. They recently tried to get the largest number of people dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (we think the Filipino prisoners might have that one covered) and the most people kissing simultaneously.

If you ask us, why not try for the largest rice and beans side dish? And maybe a giant horchata to wash it all down.

MLB's World Series is slowly approaching and of the four teams still in contention, its still a little too close to predict a winner. With a playoff race as close as this one, you bet celebrities are in attendance in hopes of giving their team that extra umph.

Image : Concrete Loop

After being down 5 runs to 1, the NY Yankees rallied back in the 8th inning to come back and defeat the Texas Rangers 6-5 in game 1 of the ALCS playoff game.  Unfortunately, its been down-hill for the Yanks ever since. The Rangers have been on a tear winning the next 3 games with ease (7-2, 8-0, 10-3) and now have the Bronx Bombers facing an elimination game 5 today (October 20) in Yankee Stadium. There's much doubt about the direction of the series, but the Yankees can count on one thing: their celebrity fans will be cheering!
Rapper/Entertainment mogul Jay-Z, singer Kevin Jonas and his wife Daniella Deleasa and director Penny Marshall came out to Yankee stadium for game 3 to check out the game. Michael Jordan was in the stands for game 4 and other celebs Sent out twit-support:

“Glee's” Kristen Chenoweth: “@Nemesis_Prime u know I just love baseball period. (And basketball) I do love the yanks. My daddy loved Mantle. Oklahoma boy. "

“House's” Jennifer Morrison was told of the Yankees' game 4 loss via twitter but stayed loyal:
“Anyone know who won the yankees/ rangers game and the score? / Ah man! I was hoping the yankees won! Thanks for the info!” she goes on to tweet, “@maaraki1 I have a home in NY and LA. So it makes sense for me to be a yankees fan :)”

And probably one of the biggest Yankee fans of them all, Mayor Mike Bloomberg not only went to the game, but he sent out “hoo-rahs” via twitter:
“On my way to Game 4. The comeback starts tonight. Lets go @Yankees!!"

We're wondering why Cameron Diaz wasn't spotted at the game, could there be trouble on the homefront?

The Yankees aren't the only ones with A+ fans, the Texas Rangers have some pretty high powered celebs in their corner too. Former President Geoge “dubya” Bush and Hall of Fame pitcher and Rangers president Nolan Ryan were in attendance in Texas for game 1. If Texas fails to close out the Yankees tonight, we're betting the two will be front and center for game 6 Friday.

As for the NLCS, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 in game 1. The Phillies were able to win game 2 6-1 but the Giants shut them out 3-0 in game 3 to once again, take the lead in the series (2-1). Game 4 will be held tonight (October 20) at AT&T park.

Vice President Joe Biden was in attendance for game 1 to support the Phillies and the beautiful Marisa Miller showed her love for the Giants, as well as her down-to-earth side, by throwing the first pitch against the L.A. Dodgers back in September. Home run king Barry Bonds drew cheers from the crowd when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch in game 3 vs the Phillies.

What do you do when your leading lady’s baby bump is starting to show through her costume? Hire her lookalike sister as a stand-in. That’s exactly what the production team behind Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides are doing to help with Penelope Cruz’ tight swashbuckling costumes.

Image : Getty Images

Any fan of Penelope knows that her sister Monica could easily pass for a twin. Even though they’re three years apart, the hermanas can even confuse the paparazzi when they make appearances together. That’s why Monica became the perfect solution for Penelope’s ‘growing’ problem on Pirates 4.

It seems Mrs. Bardem’s character, Angelica, is supposed to be a daredevil single gal (who may even steal Johnny Depp’s heart), not an expectant bride. But now at five months along, Penelope looks great for the close-ups, but not so much in the tight corsets.

The solution? Call up Monica Cruz! Monica actually has a lengthy acting resume herself and would only be needed for long shots and action sequences. We, for one, think it’s a great idea and will make watching the movie a lot more fun. Think you’ll be able to tell them apart?

Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is set to be released in May 2011.
