I'll be the third. She can't sing, no. But imo, she is probably one of the top 3 most beautiful women in the world.

I was just coming in to say the same thing! This interview is WACK!!! They are too busy laughing and falling all over one another to talk about anything. This interview is mostly about Jennifer. Ben is kind of bootleg in this interview.

I mean, it just seems like a Gigli promo show. I've seen so many clips that I don't need to see the film. Everything that they are saying is stuff that I can read in magazines. I wonder if the interview would be better if there was a more charismatic interviewer. They need someone to dig the story out of them. This guy is barely scratching the surface.

I have been flipping back and forth... I didn't know Halle turned down Gigli. The interviewer told J-lo that she should thank Halle for turning down the role, which lead to her meeting Ben. J-lo was like..."oh yeah, I should send her a note..."

Anyway, the problem I have with the entire J-lo phenom is that after all the years when Big ASSES were not COOL (fat, jiggly, etc) (ie Black women), the media has found it to be the BEST THING since slice bread. Whatever! I guess it's not J-lo's fault, but.... oh well!

She is truly OVERRATED, IMO.

I thought it was boring too. The only part I liked was when she cooked.

And she is overrated, but she is very pretty.

That interview bored me to death. I only watched about 5 minutes. It just seemed so fake and staged. I'm just so happy, giggle giggle chuckle chuckle

Yes she is overrated. I think she has a cute ordinary face but I just don't see the hype in her beauty and big a$$.

Black women have been working it in that department for years.....

I feel like J.Lo has built an empire on mediocrity. She is mediocre at just about everything, but seems to have taken advantage of opportunities to get ahead. For that, I do give her some props.

However, I felt sorry for Ben in this interview. Half the time she literally jumped right in front of him to say something, and even cut him off a bunch of times. And the falling all over herself laughing at everything was just too much.

I give this relationship until the second Ben-Jen movie comes out.

She is one of the girls that I've watched evolve who truly pays attention to the way she puts herself together. Yep, she shows a lot of skin, but since she is doing to get the kind of attention that she wants, I applaud her for paying close attention to every detail. Good for her for marketing herself to the best of Bennie's ability -- did I say Bennie?? Dang, he seems to be everywhere . . . I didn't realize until recently that he is the motivation behind The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and used to be Will Smith's manager before he devoted all of his energy on Jennifer Lopez.

I think that Black women with "big asses" would have gotten more attention if they were marketed to the masses the same way Jennifer Lopez has been. Perhaps if more of the people who were trying to appeal to the masses were willing to learn another language so that they can be marketed to another country, they may have had a portion of the success that Jennifer Lopez has seen. If a girl who could sing and act and dance (at least so a combination of all of them) and could walk outside and say to the audience "po la tha in thra la ma na na to ta la" then she might be just as big if not bigger.

What language did Jennifer Lopez learn simply to benefit her career? She's from New York so what is the other country that she is solely targeting?

Most stars in the US eventually find success in other countries as well.

I agree that she can dance, she's attractice, and her acting is usually pretty decent, but she can sing about as well as a three year old learning the alphabet.

Ok i agree with most everybody the interveiw was boring. However, has any one noticed that these stars only give these tell all interveiws when they hava movie, album, TV show coming out.
IE. Whitney and Bobby tell all- her album was set to drop
Lisa Marie Pressley tell all- her album was set to drop
Justin Timberlake tell all- album about to drop
Cher tell all- concert tour about to end
and now Ben and Jen - Gili is about to come out
need i say more

These interveiws is not about telling a damm thing its a promotion tool pure and simple. Which is why after five minutes i turned to watch "Proud Family" cause i have no intention to go see Ben and Jen's movie.

theone · #58 07-19-2003, 10:17 AM

Well you know that's why they had to push the wedding back because Ben said he wasn't signing the pre-nup. That he felt if she truely loved him they didn't need a pre-nup. Which I think is true she needs to get over herself for real. She's not all that, she is being sued by everybody and they momma, and the latest stuff she's been coming out with hasn't been worth the time or money. Oh yeah another thing how are you going to be Jenny from the block and you shooting your video in Beverly Hills and showing your man kissing your A@# on national t.v. DId you hear about how she tried to act with jamie foxx when he spoke to her. Chick trying to act too good. I mean let's be real if it hadn't been for puffy she would have no first album after all he did produce her?
Just my 2 cents about it.

THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad somebody agrees with me. I think she is soooo played out. She CAN NOT sing, she's not all that pretty, and her "azz" aint that phat.

****heaving now****Look, when are we going to get some QUALITY singers and actresses that can REALLY perform?!?
I feel sorry for Ben because I feel when the "hype" of J and Ben are over he's out!

Hey, I got money on the relationship being over within 3 years. Watch!

That's what I'm saying! J.Ho (or as Jamie Fox said, Hey, Ho!")

looks just like a regular ole Latin chic to me...Honestly (and I'm not hating by any means) I've seen a ton of Latin women that are twice as pretty as her with just as "phat" backsides. And, I've always agreed that her azzz ain't that "phat" either

I had a big booty before it was in (and I'm thin--it's called being Black/Ethnic, Honeyyyyy!!!

She can dance, but that's it. Her acting is mid-range, and her singing is a travesty.

The only thing she excels at is marketing herself and persuading people into believeing she is beautiful/multi-talented, when she is not...

As far as the Ben thing goes, he seems like a nice guy (not the World's Most Attractive

though), and it appears that he wears the paints in their relationship, but I know if it's going to last very long. I hope it does, just so people can stop talking about it...
