It’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez loves to cook. Both Marc Anthony and Ben Affleck have said that she likes to make a few recipes that have been passed down in her family.

Speaking of which, remember that great Dateline segment with Ben and Jen? Jennifer made a red beans and rice recipe with some fried chicken. She looked right at home in the kitchen! Here’s that segment:

So I got in three copies of this great book, Latin Cooking by Ricardo Olivarez. The pages are bright and colorful, and the recipes look delicious. (You can get a look at the book cover here.) I couldn’t think of a better giveaway item for my JloStalker readers!

To win, leave a comment below by Wednesday November 26th. I’ll choose three winners at random and announce them the next day.

So I’m watching the Family Feud last night and here’s the question they ask, “Which celebrity has made the most mistakes in the marriage department?”

Yikes. I just KNOW J-Lo’s name is going to come up. So I sit there and watch, and both teams go back and forth until the end, when one team needs an answer to steal the money away and win. Know what name they come up with?

Three guesses…..

Yes, it’s WAS in fact Jennifer Lopez.

Could we blame them? Jen has made some pretty big mistakes in the marriage department. But now she’s happy! So who CARES that she was an answer on Family Feud! (By the way, Jen was second only to Elizabeth Taylor!)

Jennifer Lopez got a night away from Max and Emme Saturday night when she attended a housewarming party at Tom Cruise’s house. (She’s pictured above getting into the car that left the party.)

This was no ordinary housewarming party, however. Apparently Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields, Jeremy Piven, and Rita Wilson were there, too. Know who else?

Oprah. Yep, the two must have made nice after the couch jumping incident.

Tom and Katie bought a $35 million dollar mansion and then stuck more money into it over the last year. Their big housewarming shindig ended at about 1:00 a.m.

So I’m wondering, where was Marc? We know his “shift” with the kids is 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. so apparently he couldn’t come out and play with Jen.

Since Jennifer Lopez has given birth to her twins, I can’t help thinking that she could get a lot of great advice and tips from the blogs around b5. For example:

She could tips on how to have naked Sundays from Christina Aguilera, how to work off the baby weight by table dancing, and even how to have a birthday party for the tots at the Hard Rock Cafe.

If she needed to (which she doesn’t) Jennifer Lopez could even learn how NOT to behave as a parent.

As the kids grow, she can learn how to keep them organized, when to celebrate Teddy Bear Day, and how to keep up with all the news from school.

In short, J-Lo can learn a lot here at b5!
