New dad Marc Anthony has left his newborn twins at home with their mother Jennifer Lopez for the first time, to attend a police foundation gala in New York.

The singer supported the NYPD and commissioner Ray Kelly at the event at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Tuesday, to return a favor.

He tells the New York Post, “I’m a life-long New Yorker. I’ve always worked for the NYPD and done fundraisers for fallen police officers. “Five years ago Ray Kelly helped me organize a Hispanic presentation.

So when he called last week and invited me - even though I’m a little busy with our babies - I came. This is my first time out of the house since the babies came.” Lopez gave birth to babies Max and Emme on February 22nd.

In the world of celebrity baby names – from Suri to Harlow, Maddox to Apple – Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s decision to name their newborn twins Max and Emme came as somewhat of a disappointment.

“Max and Emme are cute but, as starbaby choices go, highly unoriginal,” Pamela Redmond Satran, the author of baby-naming guides Cool Names and The Baby Name Bible, told Usmagazine.com.

“Christina Aguilera just used Max, which hasn’t been truly cool since the eighties,” Satran explains. “And Emme is an amalgam of Emily and Emma, the top two names in the country, which means that she’ll be in the same position [Jennifer] was always in, being one of several kids her age with the same name.”

Last month Satran even wrote a blog on the Huffington Post warning Lopez and Anthony to “rethink” Max and Emme and make an “inspired choice.”

On the plus side, Satran gives Lopez and Anthony points for meeting the challenge of naming twins. “Max and Emme do sound cute together,” she told Us. “They are compatible but distinctive – the perfect qualities for twin names!”

Perhaps Max and Emme show Lopez is still “Jenny from the block.”

“It’s refreshing when celebrities choose the kind of regular names that the rest of us choose and don’t reach so hard to come up with a Romeo or a Moxie Crimefighter,” says Satran.

Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony have denied reports they’ve hired six new bodyguards at a cost of $600,000 to protect their newborn twins. Lopez gave birth to a boy and a girl in Long Island, New York on February 22nd. The twins were on Friday revealed to be called Max and Emme.

Newspaper the Chicago Sun-Times claimed the couple has employed six minders to guard the babies at an annual cost of $600,000 because Lopez is “paranoid about a possible kidnapping”.

However, the Latina’s representative says, “This story is ridiculous and without merit.”

Snoop Dogg certainly has a way with children.

On Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, the 36-year-old rapper-turned-reality star can be seen rearing and playing with sons Corde, 13, Cordell, 10, and daughter Cori, 8, and wife Shante.

So as a father of three, what advice would he give Jennifer Lopez, who welcomed fraternal twins on February 22?

“One baby at a time,” he said at the Hip-Hop Summit Action Awards. “She’s going to have a good time with it. Babies are beautiful, especially having two at one time. I wish her luck, and how her babies remain to be safe and healthy and she enjoys her time with them.”

As for his own children, Snoop says he hopes to instill one important quality in them — drive.

“Ever since I was a youngster, I was a hustler,” Snoop says. “I sold newspapers, candy, I was always out of the house trying to make money, so I commend any kid that tries to go get something in life, whether he’s trying to wash cars or pump gas or help ladies to their cars with their groceries. Any sort of hustle is what I push on a kid because it shows a sign that you want to be something in life.”

Although he’s rich and famous now, Snoop remembers growing up in Long Beach, Calif., and has great respect for kids doing what he used to to — selling candy. In fact, he always buys from them.

“I was one of those kids who sold that candy,” he says. “Instead of me buying one bar, I might give them $30 and say, ‘I don’t even want no candy’ because I understand what it takes to have that showmanship to be able to go door-to-door, hand-to-hand and say, ‘Hi ma’am, would you like to buy some candy from me?’ That takes a lot to humble yourself, to have that in you to ask somebody to buy something from you.”

What’s his best piece of advice for kids? Listen to your parents.

“They are teachers. These are people who have knowledge and wisdom and they’re trying to pass it on to you,” Snoop says. “When they give you that, even if you don’t like it or understand it – take it in for what it’s worth because one day you’ll hear that voice again and you’ll be able to make a decision. You can say ‘I’m going to do the right thing or the wrong thing, but at least I know what’s right and what’s wrong.’”

Sean “Diddy” Combs partied the night away on Oscar Sunday – but he still had some time to think about baby gifts for former girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.

On the red carpet at the Academy Award ceremony at the Kodak Theater, the mogul, 38, told PEOPLE that Lopez (now the proud mother of twins) “is going to make a great mother.

“I’m going to send her some Sean John baby clothes,” added the dapper Diddy, wearing a tux by Dolce and Gabbana. “I’m so happy for her. It’s such a blessing.”

Asked if he had any advice for Lopez, 38, Diddy, who is also the father of twins, replied, “It’s double the love, and it’s also double the crying and the screaming, so it’s a unique blessed situation. It’s a rarity to have twins. She’ll be all right.”
