Jennifer Lopez had to reprimand her children right before a concert on Friday (17.08.12).
The 'On the Floor' hitmaker usually spends the moments before a show alone in her dressing room but had to step out in the Los Angeles Staples Center after four-year-old twins Max and Emme - her kids with ex-husband Marc Anthony - caused chaos backstage playing on scooters.
An onlooker said: "[They were] speeding around the green room area and causing a ruckus, almost running over people and running into things."
Staff were trying to calm the children but to no avail, prompting their famous mother to be called to assist - and the kids calmed down right away without her saying a word.
The source added to the New York Post newspaper: "[She came out and] gave Max and Emme that 'mom' look to reprimand them.
"She got her kids off the scooters and back into their room."
A spokesperson for the star said Jennifer was being a "loving and responsible mom" in taking action.
The representative said: "Jennifer's family has a private and secure area backstage at each show. Jennifer is a loving and responsible mom, she would never put her children or others in a dangerous situation."
