J.Lo Discusses Parenthood With Letterman
Jennifer Lopez sailed through a slew of interviews Monday and Tuesday without revealing whether or not the rumors are true that she's pregnant.
On Monday she appeared on MTV's "TRL," on Tuesday morning she was on "Good Morning America," and Tuesday evening she visited Late Show With David Letterman always dressed in outfits that hid her voluptuous figure.
"All right, all right, I know what everybody's asking, and I know you have so little privacy in your life," Sawyer asked the singer, "so, I'm just going to say, 'How are you?'"

"I'm very well, thank you," Lopez replied. "This is really, really a great, happy time in my life. ... Everything's great."
In another interview, CNN's Lola Ogunnaike went for a direct approach.
"I have to ask you about the rumors that are swirling. Do you want to clear the record right now?" she asked.
"No, no," said Lopez, shaking her head with a smile.
Letterman seemed to be coming close to asking the question when he drew Lopez into a discussion of parenthood.
"You think you're prepared to raise a child. But, throw it all away, it's a whole new game," Letterman said, observing that nothing from his own childhood applies to raising kids today.

"So the idea of having a family is daunting, isn't it?" he asked.
"Yeah, absolutely, yeah" she said, grinning but not taking the bait. She quickly changed the subject back to Letterman's role as a father.

The rumor mill switched into high gear over the weekend when an item on OK! magazine's Web site predicted the pop star would make an announcement she's expecting during her concert with husband Marc Anthony in New York Sunday.
That announcement never came.
Lopez has been promoting the concert tour and the release of her latest English album, "Brave," released Tuesday.
If she is expecting, it sounds like the child will be entering a loving home. Lopez told Letterman that she and Anthony live a relatively "normal" life in a New York City suburb on Long Island.
"We're actually a married couple who like spending time together," she said.
