Are You Sure You Want To Take Credit For That?

Rosie Perez is taking credit for gifting the world with Jennifer Lopez. I like the part where she eschews Latina solidarity and reveals her distaste for J.Lo by calling her fat. She’s probably kicking herself to this day for foisting her meglomaniacal big ass on us. I need all my hotel room walls painted white and fresh lillies! Stop.

Rosie Perez is taking credit for discovering Jennifer Lopez when the fly girl on “In Living Color” was just Jenny from the block. In the November issue of Out magazine, Perez told Michael Musto, “I’m the one that hired Jennifer Lopez, even though she tells everyone Keenan Ivory Wayans was. He didn’t want her because she was overweight and didn’t dance well, but I said, ‘She has star quality.’ “

Don’t front, you wanted someone with a giant bottom that would make you look skinnier. How come we don’t see Rosie more often? She was so hot in “Do The Right Thing” and “Fearless”. What does she do now? She needs to up her visibility. Stop with this indie mess and get a TV show. You don’t need to flash the kitty or anything, we’re over that move and you’re too old for that anyway.

    Oh dang, flashing the kitty trend is over? Well, I guess I can cancel that “Brasilian” appointment. (o.k. I’m kinda glad about that. I was kinda scared.) Why do I always miss out on participating in the trends?
    I was looking forward to airing out before the Depends stage.

    Next, you’re going to tell me that “bling” isn’t
    the trendy word for jewellery.
    Honestly. I need to start watching other things than Murder She Wrote.

    Why waiting this long to make such comment?, Jlo has been famous for a while. I think Jennifer was going to be discovered sooner or later, her undeniable charisma and stage presence combined w/her behind are hard to miss.

    I hate to admit that I know this but Rosie does voicework for cartoons now. She’s on Go Diego Go!…. I’ve GOT to stop watching TV with my kid in the mornings… :(

    Everyone wants credit and recognition, even Rosie Perez. JLO should send her a thank you note with a $100 bill.

    I thought they were friends.

    she looks so pregnant!
    congratulations!

  8. She is ugly… utch. I don’t like her at all.

    You know what? It may sound like hate on Rosie’s part, but I tend to believe her. JLo isn’t a particularly good dancer at all. (Seen the latest video with the same, boring moves? No real natural talent & I don’t know if she’s been trained in any kind of dance either.) She just knew how to market herself. Kudos to them both though!

    It’s funny to watch the In Living Color reruns to see JLo when she was a Fly Girl. She WAS chunky and pretty unexceptional–but I guess she had the drive and ambition to get her where she wanted to go. And although I’m not a fan, I have to admit she was great in Selena–that’s probably the best thing she’s ever done.

    Exactly Mardi Gras, Selena launched her popularity with the Hispanic audience. I saw it too and thought she was great. I loved the movie. She ought to send bags of money to Selena’s family. she owes them big time. I am a fan of JLO’s too. Love her and her husband, he is an incredible entertainer/singer. I just don’t get why he isn’t more famous.

    Rosie’s obscurity is just fine with me, thank you.

    MardiGras are you very blind and stupid? Jlo as a Fly Girl on In Living Color was hot especialy the solo one in that black outfit.
