Jennifer Lopez is scared of the dark. The "Get Right" singer makes her husband Marc Anthony wait until she's asleep before he is allowed to turn off the lights.

The 40-year-old star - who is renowned for her diva behavior - explained: "I like the quiet, but I don't like the dark."

Jennifer Lopez admits it was an "uphill struggle" to lose her baby weight. The singer-and-actress - who gave birth to twins Max and Emme in February 2008 - gained 50lbs when she was pregnant and was shocked when it didn't fall off straight away.

She said: "I thought the weight was going to drop off easily because I'd been in shape my whole life. But it wasn't easy. It was an uphill struggle. I had gained about 50lbs while pregnant. The first 30lb dropped off like that and I was so pleased. Then I had to lose the last 15 or 20lbs that just didn't want to go.

Madonna had her phone confiscated at Jennifer Lopez's 40th birthday party. The singer and other celebrity guests, including Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles, Alicia Keys and Mary J Blige, were forced to hand over their mobile phones and any cameras before they were allowed into New York's Hotel Griffou to celebrate with Jennifer last Friday.

The strict rules angered some partygoers, but Madonna and Rihanna reportedly used the increased privacy to dance "exuberantly" to Rob Base and DJ EZ's hit "It Takes Two."

What do salsa music, Jennifer Lopez and football have in common? Now, Marc Anthony.

Hailed as the highest-selling salsa artist of all time, Anthony recently purchased a minority stake in the NFL's Miami Dolphins.

He may be married to what many consider one of the most beautiful women on the planet and performed in front of thousands, but the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter claims to have cold feet.
