Source: Pregnant Jennifer Lopez at North Shore Hospital

As rumors swirled that a pregnant J.Lo had checked into a Manhasset medical center, the hospital yesterday denied that the Bronx-born superstar was there.

Jennifer Lopez kept coy when first asked if she was expecting, and that air of mystique continued as the buzz on the Web and on newsday.com was that J.Lo had checked into North Shore University Hospital under a false name.

"She is not in the hospital," said hospital spokeswoman Adina Conn. "She is not here under a pseudonym."

A hospital source, however, said Lopez, who is expecting twins, was "in the house."

Lopez, 38, and her husband, singer Marc Anthony, live in Brookville and announced in November they were expecting. Rumors circulated throughout the hospital yesterday that Lopez, who has not announced her due date, was there.

Recent hospital visitors have reported hearing staff talk about "the J.Lo room," and it's a little more lavish than what you find in the average maternity ward.

Representatives for Lopez and Anthony did not return requests for comment. On Monday, usmagazine.com reported that Anthony's representatives said online reports that Lopez was in labor were "not true."
