JENNIFER LOPEZ: DON’T ASK HER ABOUT POLITICS

#jenniferlopez #janetcharlton

It didn’t take long for Jennifer Lopez to sweep that scandal about her accepting a large amount of money to perform for a repressive dictator in Turkmenistan, under the rug. Human rights activists are keeping a close watch on her nowadays. Last year, Jennifer performed two private shows in Russia for local billionaires (one million and 1.4 million.) Before showtime, she was asked her opinion of the jailed punk band Pussy Riot and the human rights situation there. Jennifer said “I don’t like to talk politics, to be quite honest.” She does look fetching in this “Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8” inspired photo for W magazine.

MUHAMMED ALI AND KANYE WEST: ARROGANCE OR CONFIDENCE?


The more we hear Kanye West raving about his own unlimited talent, the more we are reminded of a young Muhammed Ali. Back in the day, the acclaimed young boxer proclaimed things like “I am the GREATEST – and I’m PRETTY!” (He was) But he had a sense of humor that made it palatable. While Kanye is certainly an exceptional musician, he goes way over the top declaring to a W Magazine writer: “Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go. Man, I’m the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix!”
The W writer says that Kanye was in Paris during Kim’s pregnancy learning about art, architecture, and design while putting together his loft apartment. He already regrets buying the 9000 sq ft gaudy McMansion in Beverly Hills because it lacks architectural significance. As eager to learn as Kanye seems to be, he says he’s “an intellect who doesn’t like to read.” He and Kris Jenner just don’t seem terribly fond of each other and we wonder if there will EVER be a wedding.
