Jennifer Lopez is definitely not on my favorites list - but no one can deny that she's a hard-working, determined bitch. Lately it seems like we've been inundated with J.Lo press and it's been somewhat confusing. It smacks of the hardcore push from when she was super hot - except it's happening again now, which makes it stand out more as a curiousity. We all know Jenny must be frantic about her age - and, although she is a master of invention, she's no Madonna (famed for her reinvention). The first clue that Jennifer is searching for a new job to take her to the next, next level? Her recent appearance on Lopez Tonight, where she took the stage with a solo monologue. Details, via Bitten & Bound:
[Jennifer Lopez was a guest of George Lopez on Monday
night.She did a five minute
stand-up monologue on Lopez Tonight, and managed a few zingers before the late
night host took back his stage. J-Lo started with, "Welcome to Lopez Tonight, where nobody
gets fired - they just get replaced with a bigger star with the same last
name."She went on to
bash FOX News and Sarah Palin, calling the former governor "la cabrona",
Spanish for bi*ch.]
It's clear that J.Lo is pushing to stay relevant, but is she trying too hard? More details, via Celebitchy:
[Here is Jennifer Lopez, who was attending a book party for
About Face written by one of her makeup artists, Scott Barnes. Jennifer is also
the cover model for the book, and she wrote the forward. Fancy! When I saw
these photos, my first thought was "Jennifer looks pretty good, mother of God
is that a miniskirt?" My second thought was "Tan lines, diva!" And now all I
can see are the tan lines on Jennifer's chest. Perhaps she should have gotten a
makeup artist to blend in the skin tone a little? Rookie mistake, diva.
But beyond the tan line quibble, I do think Jennifer looks
good. Since everyone seems to be on a "Fabulous at 40" kick this week, I'll say
that Jennifer's body is still kickin' and that she's rocking that miniskirt.
Should miniskirts be left to younger girls? Well, personally, I don't care for
miniskirts on anyone (I'm always afraid of a vadge attack), but I think
miniskirts should just be left to those with the legs to pull it off, and
Jennifer fits that bill.
By the way, does anyone think Jennifer is Botoxing? I didn't
think so in some of the other photos of Jennifer we've had the past few months,
but she's looking particularly waxy and a touch frozen in some of these photos.
Maybe she's just trying to remember how to make her "DIVA" face.]
Jennifer is a curious case. She's simultaneously full of herself, demanding accolades (she believes she got passed over for an Oscar), yet she ironically comes across as insecure. After all these years, she still throwing seeds into the wind, seeing what will take.
