The 38-year-old singer – who is expecting her first baby with husband Marc Anthony – has been so inundated with friends asking to fulfil the prestigious role she has decided to test their suitability.

Lopez’s close friend Leah Remini told People magazine: “Me and my husband, Angelo Pagan, have asked for an audition for godparent roles, so at the moment we are waiting to hear back.

“We need about a day to prepare though.”

Pagan, who has been married to Old School actress Remini for four years, added: “We’re not sure whether the audition will entail singing, dancing or reciting a monologue, but we’re ready!”

Other contenders for the position of godparent reportedly include Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham, and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, the producer on Jennifer’s 2002 film Maid in Manhattan.

Goldsmith-Thomas recently hosted a luxurious baby shower for Lopez at New York’s Gramercy Park Hotel.

The Wedding Planner actress – who is reportedly expecting twins – is due to give birth in the spring.
