Image is everything for a celebrity, and it seems a planned profile on Jennifer Lopez for the October issue of Elle didn't quite convey the right impression.

The New York Post says writer Kevin Sessums' "much too personal" interview with the twin-juggling Mrs. Marc Anthony was ditched in favor of a shinier, happier cover story after her reps requested a redo, but that didn't stop the original piece from being published by Tina Brown's new Web site, the Daily Beast, a move that has left the star's flack seriously displeased.

"We're very unhappy about it and think it was poor judgment on his part," J.Lo's mouthpiece kvetches to the Post.

In the sit-down, which was conducted over the summer, a flu-ish and "exhausted"-looking Lopez touches on everything from how hormotional she felt after delivering Max and Emme in February to the possibility of educating them using Scientology methods.

"At the 10th day after giving birth [via C-section] all that chemical stuff did peak -- that hormone thing -- and I did cry a lot that day because I was having so much trouble moving," she admits. "I couldn't get up fast enough to feed the babies. It went on for about three days. Marc was helping out a lot and I was crying and crying and going, 'Oh, Papi ... they're going to know everybody more than me! ... They're going to love everybody more than me!'"

J.Lo and Leah Remini pal around at Elle's Women in Hollywood event on Oct. 6.

The conversation eventually turns to Scientology, which numbers Jennifer's father and her BFF Leah Remini among its ranks.

She denies being an L. Ron Hubbard devotee but notes, "I wouldn't have a problem saying [I was] because I know what it is. I have no problems with it, and it really actually bothers me that people have such a negative feeling towards it."

When asked if she'd consider sending her tots to a Scientology school, Lopez candidly says, "Yeah. I wouldn't mind. Not at all. Because I know that the technologies that they have are very helpful ... It's all about communication. That's the thing I really don't like about talking about this. I do know so many great people who do do it, who choose it as a lifestyle and really follow it and it is their religion ... I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is."

She also discusses the decision to sell pictures of her twins to People magazine for a reported $6 million.

"I think one of the reasons that the price went so high is that we didn't want to do it for so long," Jennifer says of the sumptuous, silver rattle- and chandelier-accented spread that appeared in the mag about a month after the twins' arrival. "We weren't into it. I was like, 'No, I don't really want to. No. No way.' But then it got to the point that you go, 'Well, now you're being stupid with these offers.' ... I thought, I can set them up. I can put this away just for them."

Questioned over whether she and Marc followed in the philanthropic footsteps of fellow twin-spawners Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie by donating any of the cash to charity, Lopez acknowledges, "We gave a little bit and I saved the rest for them."

Nicole takes a break from diaper duty to hit up the Women in Hollywood event.

Speaking of baby's first photo shoot, Nicole Kidman talks to the Chicago Sun-Times about why she and husband Keith Urban opted not to introduce 3-month-old Sunday Rose to the world with a lucrative exclusive.

"We were approached, of course [by celebrity magazines], but Keith and I couldn't have a 'photo op' for that," she explains to the paper. "We were opposed to that, even for charity. I just couldn't imagine a photographer flashing in her face and then scrutinizing her -- let alone millions of people."

And while paparazzi have captured a few images of the tot, her parents have so far managed to shield her from the glare of the spotlight.

"You bring your baby home. It's so precious -- something never to be experienced again," she recalls of Sunday's arrival in Nashville. "We just holed up in our house and didn't leave for days. We were quite besotted with her. After all, this was Keith's first child and for him a huge, huge change."

For Kidman, not so much, as she was already mom to Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, with ex-husband Tom Cruise (she says that one of her most precious possessions at the moment is "a very special photo I took of Bella holding my 3-month-old").

The "Australia"-promoting actress, who recently told Elle she's "like a lioness" when it comes to protecting her family, believes Bella and Connor "are very good at taking care of themselves and not getting swept up" in their parents' celebrity status, adding that post-divorce, she and Cruise have made a point of being there "for both kids."

"You have to sort that out pretty early on," she tells the paper. "If you don't, it's very selfish. As my mother told me, once you have children, that's what it's all about."
