Jennifer Lopez’s Designer Confirms What Jennifer Is Trying To Hide

jlogold.jpg 

After this, he might not be designing clothes for her much longer…apparently Roberto Cavalli, who has designed clothes for J-Lo and Marc Anthony’s current tour, has confirmed her pregnancy to People:

Asked what types of clothing he designs for his celebrity clients, he told PEOPLE exclusively on Tuesday, “Well Jennifer Lopez, at this moment, she requests something very special because she is waiting for the baby.

“It is so complicated because every week she is getting bigger,” added the designer, speaking from his celebration promoting Roberto Cavalli Vodka at his New York showroom.

Well, it’s nice to see that at least someone isn’t ignoring the elefante in the room.

Jennifer Lopez Relegated To Only Releasing Greatest Hits Albums?

jlojig.jpg

Jennifer Lopez better announce that pregnancy and hope it helps tune out the bad publicity she’s been getting lately. Homegirl from the block has cost her label more than she’s made. A lot more.

A revealing article for MSNBC says Epic, JLo’s label has no plans to back any “new” projects for the singer/actress. Her record sales have slumped to the point of obscurity and she makes “ridiculous” and expensive demands from the label. From the MSNBC story:

She costs too much money and doesn’t sell enough,” says the source, who is familiar with the issue. “Her last album cover alone cost $60,000 in hair and makeup, lighting, photographers, re-touching, etc. The video budget was in the neighborhood of $300,000.”

And that’s just what it costs to get the album out the door. Lopez performed on “Good Morning America” earlier this month, and all the costs were absorbed by the label. “Epic had to eat the cost for that entire performance. From her makeup — which typically costs in the neighborhood of $8,000 per day — to the backup singers, to the rigging, lighting and sound,” says a source close to the Lopez camp. “The woman requires everything short of flying monkeys to get on a stage.”

Dang, that’s a lot chump change if you aren’t bringing home the bacon. I don’t understand why she needs $60K in makeup, hair, lighting, etc. She’s naturally a very pretty woman, and while we know her singing talent is suspect, she does a good job dancing and entertaining. Unlike say, Britney Spears.

Jennifer has certainly gotten plenty of press and attention, if mostly for pregnancy rumors, but the tabloid fodder has done little to help her flagging record sales. Lopez’s latest album Brave sold a paltry 53,000 copies in its first week, not nearly enough to pay back the label, which only makes about $4 for every copy sold.

Will Epic dump JLo and her diva demands? The article offers some insight into that question as well:

“Sony and Epic might keep her,” a source who is familiar with the situation says, “but she’ll be doing little more than greatest hits albums. That you can do without incurring a huge cost. The label is tired of throwing money away.”

Of course, Epic isn’t telling us much with this statement:

Reps for Epic say Lopez has not angered them. “We love Jennifer at Epic,” a spokesperson said.

Ok, so this isn’t a shock to anyone, ‘cept maybe JLo. She’s a dark cloud for every project she’s ever been in the last five years. Gigli anyone? Honestly, she should just take a break, raise her baby, (the one she refuses to admit she’s pregnant with) and come back in a few years. As for a greatest hits album, I have one question. Why?

They Say That The Road Ain’t No Place To Start A Family, Jennifer Lopez

jlomarc2.jpg

Um, HELLO?  Jennifer Lopez may be keeping mum on being a mom, but Marc Anthony isn’t adverse to dropping a subtle hint:

Jennifer Lopez still won’t confirm she’s pregnant, but her hubby has no problem singing songs about it.

 J.Lo and Mac Anthony performed at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night. Two TMZ staffers were in attendance and reported that not only was La Lopez looking a little heavy (The Muumuu Tour!), but Marc dedicated the Journey song “Faithfully” to his wife.

Anthony cried during the song, saying it now held “special significance” to him. The line from the song that drew the loudest cheers from the crowd was, “They say that the road ain’t no place to start a family.”

I’m really finding all of this very humorous.  It’s so obvious that she’s pregnant.  But, she is taking this attitude about the whole thing and acting all diva-ish about it, not even allowing interviewers to ask her anything about her family or whether or not she’s in the club.  David Letterman was barely allowed to talk to her on his show.  Diane Sawyer even had throw a softball at her in an interview:

Speaking amid a crowd of people outside the ABC studio in the middle of Times Square, where Lopez, 38, performed a live concert to promote her new CD Brave, a pained-looking Sawyer said to the singer: “All right, all right, I know what everybody’s asking, and I know you have so little privacy in your life … so, I’m just going to say, ‘How are you?’ “

jlosings.jpgPlease.  These celebrities know that every move they make outside their homes is photographed.  All of this speculation is just fueling the flames.  What, is she holding out for more money with the “EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!!!” with some as-yet undecided magazine?  Hoping to start a bidding war for the scoop?  Will she confirm the pregnancy once she gives birth?  How will she explain the sudden presence of a kid(s)?  Or will she attribute the gigantic weight loss to a really good colonic irrigation?  How big of a muumuu will she be in by the time she’s nine months?  Livin’ La Vida Lopez!

I’m starting to like Marc Anthony more and more.  At least he seems to not be a diva.  I understand that celebs want their privacy, and I don’t think that cameras need to protrude into every single aspect of their lives, but come on…she’s so obviously pregnant!  Just say so already!  I think people would respect her more if she would just stop being so uptight about it, and I know her fans would be thrilled.  I hope her tour ends with no problems for either mom or baby (or babies!).

And just look at the photos!  Um, HELLO?

So Much For J-Lo’s Big Announcement.

jlobump2.jpg 

Rumor had it that Jennifer Lopez would announce her pregnancy at her show at Madison Square Garden this past weekend.  However, no such announcement was forthcoming:

Despite printed reports that Ms. Lopez would use her show at the Garden with husband, Marc Anthony, to share happy news about the recent swell in her stomach area, she stayed mum on the point.

Jennifer, come here.  Me and you.  Personal conversation time.  I have some news for you that you need to hear from me.

WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE PREGNANT.  JUST SAY SO ALREADY.

Okay, with that out of the way….

Apparently, her concert tour isn’t going as well as she had hoped, as she is being out-sang and out-entertained by her husband Skeletor Marc Anthony:

Either way, an announcement of this sort would have generated just the sort of goodwill Lopez could have really used. After all, this tour exposes the singer to an especially dangerous game of compare and contrast.

For her first-ever U.S. tour, Lopez has chosen to appear on the same bill as her esteemed husband, presenting perhaps the greatest mismatch of creative talents since Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael in Wham! [wait…which one is being dissed, here?]

Though only a few numbers at the night’s end found the two singing together, their separate sets underscored the oceanic distance between their gifts.

He’s an icon of Latin music, with a jaw-dropping vocal range and a commanding presence.

She’s a drop-dead hottie who can dance (at least when not apparently pregnant) and sing - but with a voice every bit as mousy as her figure is saucy.


But wait, there’s more…

It’s Official, Jennifer Lopez Expecting Twins

jlopreggo.jpg

Glory in the highest. Bless the powers of infertility drugs, Mrs. Jennifer Lopez and her creepy looking hubby, Marc Anthony are finally ready to admit what we all know: she’s pregnant with twins.

Why all the secrecy and denial? Because celebrities are weirdos with delusions of grandeur.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks that JLo was knocked up with a baby, with reports stating twins, but not until today was there any irrefutable proof. And by irrefutable proof what we mean is a GIANORMOUS bulge in her lower abdomen which anyone whose ever actually SEEN a pregnant person would recognize as a pregnant belly. From the looks of it, she’s about 4 months along.

Or really constipated. For reals, constipation is serious condition and can lead to not only a bloated belly, but also a really bad attitude.

Now, where did I put those laxatives DAMMIT?

Jo Lo Is Pregnant, What Is The Big Secret?

jlobump.jpg

Okay, I can understand not wanting to tell anyone until you were past a certain point, to make sure everything is safe and okay.  And I can understand wanting privacy when it comes to something as personal as a pregnancy.

But come on.  All of this denial by Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, is getting ridiculous.  Girlfriend is knocked up, in the club, has a bun in the oven, expecting, in the family way, the rabbit died, PREGNANT.

Of course, she also started a concert tour with husband Marc Anthony the other night.  Unfortunate timing.

I really do not understand why stars such as Jennifer Lopez continue to deny what is so obvious…and, from all accounts, she has tried to get pregnant for years, so I would think she would be shouting it from the rooftops.  And all the denial just makes people that much more intent on getting photos showing off a “bump”.

She’s been seen in loose clothing, flowy dresses and outfits, fugly stuff that you wouldn’t wear unless you were trying to hide a bump, and she has not been doing her trademark high-energy dancing in her shows.  The tight clothing and high kicks have been left to her backup dancers, while Jennifer sports a few low-energy hip-hop steps and not much else.

Plus, according to Perez, she almost fell off the stage while singing on Wednesday night.  She reportedly said, ““I’m ok, that could have been ugly, but it wasn’t.”  With Jennifer’s age (39), her admitted history of miscarriages and difficulty getting pregnant, a tour at this point might not be such a great idea.  A healthy baby is much more important than a tour, and her true fans would understand.

Anyway, even though I’m not a fan of Jennifer’s, I wish her a safe and happy pregnancy, and a wonderful, healthy baby….or, babies!

JLo Keeping It Real For Jury Duty

jlo.JPG

Jennifer Lopez, always in touch with her roots, showed up for jury duty today at a Beverly Hills courthouse. According to TMZ, she spent much of her time texting friends and chilling out with fellow jurors, until one point when all the other jurors were whisked away while Jenny from the block was attended to by her own personal deputy.

Due to a chill in the air, Ms. Lopez returned from lunch with a sweater and remained until 2:30 when she and the other 40 jurors were dismissed for the day. It is reported that JLo was down to earth and had the wherewithal to speak to her fellow jurors.

Oh Sweet Lord, I am a farce. Why must I write this crap? JLo’s a huge tool, and unless she was presiding over Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s probation violations, wherein she sentenced them to 30 years in the penitentiary for being useless half-wits, then this is not freaking news.

I apologize. Tomorrow will be better I promise. Or I will just start making sh*t up.

JLo/Marc Anthony Splitsville? No Half-Zombie Children?

jlomarc.JPGjlomarc3.JPGjlomarc2.JPG

No, these photos ARE NOT doctored. He’s that scary.

Rumor - and you know how that goes - has it that actress/singer/professional wife Jennifer Lopez and singer/zombie Marc Anthony are less than happy in their wedded bliss than they would have us believe. So where does all this conjecture stem from? Page Six reports:

“There was a fight on New Year’s Eve,” said a source who saw Lopez that night. Another spy said, “There was a fight after she performed at the Super Bowl, and when she had an album-listening party in Miami two months ago, there was an issue.” According to this source, Lopez stood up and talked about her upcoming album and said, “This is my dream and Marc and I worked so hard on this album . . . Marc, would you like to say something?” - to which Anthony coldly said, “No,” and looked away. One of the issues is that Lopez is said to be putting off pregnancy - he has four kids with two other women - and Anthony is very interested in Scientology. But a friend of both said, “They fight, sure, but everyone fights.” A rep for Lopez said, “They’re fine.”

I for one, would be happy to see this union crumble. Not out of some selfish motive, quite the opposite. I am merely looking out for the whole of the world. That much bitchyness and hostility next to that much rotting flesh is bound to create some sort of ravenous disease that will consume all of the world ala 28 Days.

Zombies should NOT be allowed to breed with humans. Although, I have it on good authority that JLo sold out her soul long ago, so maybe their kids wouldn’t be such half-breeds after all.

Little latin flesh eaters with big butts and dead eyes. That would be totally awesome!!!!

Is Scientology the new economic divide in Hollywood?

 is_jen2.jpg

Are those crazy-ass Scientologists and their moneygrubbing Xenu  about to claim another celebrity victim? 

The PR spin-science behind Scientology is to gently pave the way for new members by downplaying the crazy and desperately trying to legitimize the cult as a religion.  Now they are using Jennifer Lopez to do their dirty work.  JLo announced this week that her father is a Scientologist and has been for 20 years in a radio interview while in Miami.

“My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years. It’s weird people want to paint it in a negative way,” stated Lopez. “I, myself, am Catholic. But it’s just sad that people would look at it (Scientology) in that way.”

Lopez’s rep, and possibly the biggest liar in the PR business, Leslie Sloane, said, “Jennifer is not a Scientologist, nor is she becoming a Scientologist?

Whatever, we all know homegirl from the block is trying to convince hubby Marc Anthony to ante up some of his cash and go in on a Level 1 Thetan’s training manual.  I heard that crap costs like $100K.  No way Marc Anthony is going for that silliness.  I bet he’s telling Jenny that money doesn’t grow on trees and he has better things to spend his cash on, like beauty treatments for his undead ass.marcanthony.jpg

No sane person who loves their money would want to be a Scientologist.  Period.  Unless it’s in exchange for protection from scandal and some sweet movie deals. 

Just ask Victoria “Posh” Beckham.  Despite being double-teamed by the Wonderbread twins Tom and Katie Cruise, inside sources state that Posh is WAY too cheap to become a Scientologist.  This from a women whose husband just inked a $250 million dollar soccer deal with the LA Galaxy.   According to sources close to the couple, Victoria just isn’t going for it, despite spending an inordinate amount of time with the unofficial spokesfamily for the ridiculous cult.

The source said, “Tom spoke to David for hours about Scientology. He feels it could help to lift him out of the blues over his football career. But Victoria is having none of it. She can’t see the point of joining something like that where you have to donate money.”

I just gained about two ounces of respect for Posh for being practical.  That brings the total amount of respect to -40.  Don’t give up yet Vic, you’re catching up.
