Q: How Down to Earth is J-Lo?

Part of: mental_floss Question of the Day

A: There are divas, there are superdivas, and then there’s Jennifer Lopez. That’s right – the same sultry soulstress who preaches the “keep it real” mantra also happens to require a trailer at least 40 feet in length, in which everything is white – the drapes, couches, candles, tablecloths, lilies, and roses (she also requires yellow roses with red trim thrown in as well).

And let’s not forget the selection of current CDs “Jenny from the Block” requires, chosen from a list of 43 artists; or her three favorite scented candles from Diptyque – Tuberose, Figuier, and Heliotrope. And that’s just what’s on her contract for a charity song she performed benefiting AIDS victims in Africa.

What’s more, she was only at the event for a total of 90 minutes!

    This seems like a cheap shot, like Simon Cowell's "bushbaby" reference. Picking on J-Lo is like making fun of a handicapped child, in more ways than one.

    I live within walking distance to J-Lo's restaurant in Pasadena, Madre's. I've sometimes been curious and tempted to check it out, but I've vowed never to give J-Lo any of my money. Besides, Madre's gets a pretty low Zagat rating on food, in spite of its astronomical prices.

    By the way, was "Jenny from the Block" accompanied by her husband, Skeletor? Surely he needs to get out of his sarcophagus once in a while.

    What happened to her face? She looks weird (for her).
