JENNIFER LOPEZ - LOPEZ LONGS TO BE MOTHER

JENNIFER LOPEZ's new role as a step-mother to husband MARC ANTHONY's three children has made her eager to become a mother herself. Anthony has two sons with ex-wife DAYANARA TORRES - CRISTIAN, five, and RYAN, three - and a daughter, ARIANNA, 12, from a previous relationship. Lopez appeared on THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW today (02FEB07), where the talk show host asked her if she was wanted to have children. The WAITING FOR TONIGHT singer replied, "Yeah, I do. I absolutely do. I have three step-kids!" When DeGeneres asked her if she wanted a lot of children she added, "I don't know about a lot. One or two. I'll take two at once, that would be great!"
