Her celebrity and millions are based on nothing. Aside from being a good dancer and a great business woman--I'll give it to her there--she's completely talentless. As a Latina, I hate that she's one of our sole representatives in the states.

reply

Wow....a remarkably honest and spot on comment. Well done, LD. The only part I have grievance with is the "completely talentless" description of her inability. I propose she actually has negative talent. She sucks otherwise moderately talented people into her vortex of sucktitude, thereby expending their talent to prop her up to talentless.

See, all better.

reply

thats funny ..maybe u guys should talk about Paris Hilton as talentless, and useless

reply

First, I'll tell you I'm not a J-Lo fan but I completely agree with your opinion, Huey. At least J-Lo is a hardworking woman who has earned what she's got, for good or bad. If you want to comment on untalented and really useless people the list might fall short, but Paris Hilton would head the list for sure. Why don't you comment on these people who senselessly fill the contents of tabloids, mags and tv shows around the world and they are just used for nothing but to fullfill the frustated dreams of readers who watch and devour their "ordeals" in every issue? Then, there'll be a point.

why is Paris useless she and jlo have almos the same thing they both sing act have a cloth line have a perfume line model are in magazines and do charity work the only difference is that jlo is a homewrecking hoe

reply

Both Jennifer and Paris probably know how to type full sentences.

You're wrong about her. I saw this movie and I strongly believe she did an outstanding job. Her portrayal of Puchi was geniune. She does has talent. People overlooked that because they are either shallow or jealous of her. What has she done to anyone? Like she has said, it is tough being in the business. Do you think she isn't hurt by the negative things people say?

I agree and she is definitely more of a business women. She is constantly in fashion magazines and cashing on her fame to wear and pose top designers. I think she is very overrated and she has tried to get herself in many projects that have failed. Even studios have kind of realized she is not liked as much or talented as think she is.

As a Latina, I hate that she's one of our sole representatives in the states.

I am sorry I disagree about her as Latina being "sole representatives"?
I mean there is "Penélope Cruz" whom I think is among the very talented Latina actress both in US and Spain. I saw "Eva Mendez" in a film called "The Place Beyond the Pines", she was great and proved she is talented, she should continue doing those kind more serious roles. I am not a fan of "Salma Hayek" but there was one film I saw her with Russel Crow called "Breaking Up"; and it was probably among her best work. That film was so overlooked; its a terrific film. Salma has some talent but her film choices are similar to J.LO, she can go further if she wants to.

I think the problem with J.LO is that she has become a very popular household name, like "Kim Kardashian", both have carved a career from their name. The movie "Selena" was what really started for JLO, her music career also added another layer, plus all the relationships and marriages that she has had so far always placed in the spot light. But her acting talent is very limited, she has no range. I just find her very self-absorbed in almost everything she does, I doubt if most people consider her the " sole representatives" of Latina?.

I know right? Jennifer has many haters, it's ridiculous sometimes. She's a great dancer, a very good actress, a great business woman and entrepeneur, as well as a decent singer who makes good, danceable music; but according to some people, she's the spawn of Satan. Others say they hate her because she supposedly is a "sell-out," and hasn't remained "ethnic" enough for their liking. Those same people also say that she's "forgotten where she came from." Then others say that they hate her because they've read in tabloid and gossip magazines that she's a diva. Still, there are others that hate her because according to them, she "changes her man every second," since she's been married three times. And then you have the PETA and fur-activists who now suddenly loathe her because she wears fur; while making it seem like she's this horrible person who hates all animals in the process. I mean, it's like endless hatred of J.Lo going on, it's really pathetic actually. Oh, I also forgot to mention those people who love to say that she's a "homewrecker," as if they personally know what went on in the relationship between her and Marc Anthony. As if they know for a fact that Jennifer was the root cause for the break-up between Marc and his ex-wife (whom he had already legally separated and distanced himself from, long before him and Jen rekindled their relationship).

I adore Angelina Jolie and I don't mind Halle Berry. JLo just irks me. She only cares about herself. And her husband -- a good man? I wonder how his ex feels about that. JLo is all for herself and she just isn't that talented.

ISP ADDRESSES DON'T LIE.

reply

How do you know that J.Lo "only cares about herself?" Seriously, from what prior knowledge do you base this on? I mean, she's a woman who does endless charity work with the L.A. Children's Hospital, among other things; so obviously she cares about those sick little kids. And guess what, she does it all without having cameras and T.V. crews documenting her every move so that the whole world can see... ::cough:: Angelina Jolie ::cough::

reply

Anyone that owns a fur company is just a piece of crap, and has no soul.

reply

J.Lo doesn't own a fur company, get your facts straight.

reply

AMEN!

reply

i agree

reply

OK, Nicee18, you've proven that you're on HEY HO's payroll, so you're BIASED opinions of the talentless woman with the booty the size of the Soviet Union is really unnecessary.
She is selfish... ask Puffy, when she was crying like a brat the nite at the police station when he was suspected of being a part of a shooting... ask Ben Affleck, when he went from a down-to-earth guy to a pre-madonna pretty boy (with HEY HO) to BACK to a down-to-earth guy when he married Jennifer Garner?

And who did she run to when she COULDN'T BE ALONE (and her relationship track record PROVES THAT--SO DON'T EVEN TRY TO REFUTE), she latches on to BUG BOY, the ugliest man this side of Richard Belzer (with all due respect to Belzer).

So she dances, tell her to go on American Bandstand and STAY OUT OF MOVIE THEATERS. She sings as well as jessica simpson, and that's NOT a good thing. And her acting... well, WHAT ACTING? I don't know about you, but Enough was the only good thing she's done. I stand corrected, her appearance on SOUTH PARK was the best... i recommend all HEY HO fans to check out that episode.

Oh, and her singing is average at BEST. so what are we left with? Pretty much nothing. But hey, you all like her, and that's all that matters LOL!

reply

im sorry but is that all jealousy talking, and second Selena was a good movie, and was one of her best i think this issue is based on the fact that she is a latina who is doing as well as another actress out there, im sorry but I think that getting together with ben affleck was a bad idea really BEN AFFLECK! Y?, he's a waste man... the reason y im hating was because he insulted her cultural background saying all he was served 4 dinner was beans.. what a dumbass

reply

Wait, he said that?

reply

then again so are 75% of other celebrities, so i dont understand the hate ppl have against Jlo, maybe because she's gorgeous

reply

[deleted]

I totally agree with you. I can't understand why people hate Angelina that much, she's a great actress, I love her and it seems that the whole Jen Aniston and Pitt drama have the people very mad yet even though these celebrities don't care about it, let's face it, people still go to see her movies and spent money on her to make her richier and you are still fighting because of a drama that ended so long ago. Live with it!! Actually I don't know if people hate Halle Berry, she's sweet, charming and very beautiful, and very talented.
About J.Lo she's good but not excellent.She could give a lot more.

UNLIKE Madonna, Jennifer Lopez can actually ACT. Anyone that saw Selena or Out of Sight can SEE Jennifer Lopez has SERIOUS TALENT. Yes, Jennifer has had some bombs but who hasn't? However, UNLIKE Madonna Jennifer has had some major hits such as Maid In Manhattan, The Cell, Monster In Law, Selena, and many MORE.

finall someone spoke the truth

reply

I LOVE Jennifer to death,she's such an inspration to people,whatever she does,she does it well! (45 million albums sold,lots of movies,bestselling fragrances,clothing line,fabolous dancer,really good performer... she's everything. And she's the most beautiful woman,ever.

reply

"She doesn't talk like an adult, whines all the time and clearly has the vocabulary of 15 year old;" Huh? That makes no sense. So one of the reasons you greatly despise her is because her vocabulary supposedly isn't extensive enough for you? Wow...that's really stretching it there.

reply

The woman has not got the best singing voice I have heard.
As for her speaking voice it has an annoying whine to it.
It is that and not very convincing actor that bugs me.
There are so many other latina actresse out there.
Who can move you with a single line.
She just leaves me cold.
I can dislike a personality but admire talent.
But in this case Im let feeling nthing.
I don't hate her just could care less in watching her.
I have seen others grow with time and experiece.
There seems to be none of that in her case.
She is like the latin Pia Zadora.
The only difference is Pia came along to soon to make any money.
Today if you can market yourself you can get rich quick.
No talent required just good deal making.

reply

OK, Nicee18, you've proven that not only are you a schill for Hey Ho, but that you yourself likely don't possess the vocab (that's short for "vocabulary") of a 15-year old. This isn't "hating" as you all love to say in the urban community. This is, what we call in the intelligent community as, STATING A FACT. She's a no-talent waste, and Hollywood and the music industry only care about appearance.
This conversation is over.

P.S. How did that movie, El Cantacte (pronounced L Can't-act-A), do in the theaters?

"3. She doesn't talk like an adult, whines all the time and clearly has the vocabulary of 15 year old;"


I agree with this. I saw her on the 'Tonight Show' last night and as I've noticed before, she's not a very articulate speaker. And the way she giggles at every other thing she says makes her look like an airhead.

reply

I agree JLo sucks and she hasn't really come out with a good movie since money train;which is the only movie of hers I liked;and she can't really sing that great either!!!!!!!

reply

Good summation, Mek2

I wasn't especially a Jennifer Lopez fan until I saw Selena, and not at all when it was first released. The chick can act. She became Selena for the role. She has a sweetness and a genuine side that comes out in less than great films like Maid in Manhattan and the Wedding Planner. I wish her all the luck, hope El Cantante is a success and that she'll have a baby sometime soon. I call myself a J-Lo fan.

reply

Cause she's a golddiggin b i t c h.

reply

How the hell is J.Lo a golddigger, when she has a 255 million dollar plus fortune of her own. I mean, let's get serious here.
