Taking Names

Bling-bling’s back

Internet Movie Database

Superstar Jennifer Lopez flew into a panic after leaving her engagement ring on the sink of her hotel bathroom recently, the Internet Movie Database reports.

The singer and actress — who is engaged to Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck — realized her mistake after she’d checked out of a New York hotel, and ordered her limo driver to turn around and head back. “She realized she’d left it behind after checking out of the Manhattan hotel,” an unnamed source told imdb.com.

Screaming at him to floor it, horror-stricken J-Lo raced back and blew by the doorman so fast he never got his hand on the door handle, the source said. “She yelled at a manager that she’d left something important behind but he told her to calm down. The housekeeper had found the ring and it was in the safe. Moments later, he handed it over as Jennifer sobbed and thanked him profusely.”

In a similar incident, Miss Lopez nearly lost the pink diamond ring at the Los Angeles restaurant The Ivy in March when it slipped into a sink after she’d taken it off to wash her hands.

A special Christmas delivery for Kate Winslet.

The “Titanic” star and her British director hubby Sam Mendes are proud parents of a baby boy.

The newborn, christened Joe Mendes, made his grand debut Dec. 22 at an undisclosed New York hospital, Miss Winslet’s publicist, Jennifer Allen, announced Friday. Mighty young Joe tipped the scales at 7 pounds, 13 ounces.

“The couple is overjoyed,” Miss Allen said in a statement. No further details were disclosed.

Joe is the first joint production for the high-powered twosome, who married in secret last May. (The couple announced Miss Winslet was pregnant just two months later — you do the math.)
