Just the other day, Jennifer Lopez was telling the world that her style is a mixture of Jackie O, Ava Gardner, and Madonna. Now she covers the August issue of W magazine as photographed by Mario Sorrenti with a very obvious Elizabeth Taylor theme going on. It is obvious, right? I don’t know what she’s thinking while trying to channel such iconic women in such a half-hearted way. Again, it’s as if JLo believes a big wig (that can’t be her real hair — she’s been sporting too many highlights lately) will make us all believe that she is in fact the next coming of Liz. As if.
Jennifer’s dress is Gucci, and I will admit to being disappointed that she’s gone such a predictable route in trying to look like someone else. Jennifer has always succeeded through her own (admittedly tacky) style, but she completely owns it, and I’m sad to see her pretending otherwise. Maybe she’s looking at this magazine shoot as an acting gig. I don’t know. The interview is slightly more illuminating than this cover because JLo talks about her pre-JLo days when she was essentially homeless. Now she has enough money to fill several swimming pools, so it’s interesting to witness her reflecting upon the bad old days:
She visits the Bronx with the journo: “I was nervous coming here today. This is the house I grew up in. I would look out that window to see if my boyfriend was coming, and then I?d run out the door I?m the middle sister. All three of us girls shared a room. I was into sports and dancing. I ran track. I have a lot of stamina. I was built for the long run.”
She left home at 18: “My mom and I butted heads. I didn?t want to go to college–I wanted to try dance full-time. So she and I had a break. I started sleeping on the sofa in the dance studio. I was homeless, but I told her, ?This is what I have to do.? A few months later, I landed a job dancing in Europe. When I got back, I booked In Living Color. I became a Fly Girl and moved to L.A. It all happened in a year.”
She missed the Bronx: “I hated L.A. I was asking, ?Where?s the store for milk? Don?t you guys walk on the street?? Now I love Los Angeles, but it doesn?t give me strength the way the Bronx did. All the strength that I needed for life, I got from that neighborhood.”
Work ethic is important: “I think a lot about teaching my kids to work hard. I?ve learned something about kids–they don?t do what you say; they do what you do. I watched my parents. My dad worked nights, and I was aware of how much he was doing for us. My mom was a Tupperware lady and also worked at the school. I always felt that I couldn?t let them down. And I had a natural discipline from early on. I was always training for something.”
[From W magazine]
When Jennifer stated, “I have a lot of stamina. I was built for the long run,” she really hits home, doesn’t she? Even though she might do obnoxious things like perform for autocratic despots, and go through wedding rings like I go through boxed wine, Jenny from the Block possesses a lot more staying power than we ever suspected during the Bennifer days. There’s something to be said for succeeding even in the face of Gigli. She really showed all of us … but Liz Taylor, JLo is not.

When I think of Jennifer Lopez’s sense of style, the image isn’t really a negative one. In my mind, JLo is a risk taker, and she isn’t afraid to wear body-conscious ensembles that are fierce and flamboyant while (usually) managing to flatter her figure. Make no mistake, Jennifer possesses a fantastic body, and she must work awfully hard to maintain it, but it must also be a challenge to tailor clothing to her assets that probably aren’t easily flattered by off-the-rack items. Whatever the case, I certainly do not think of Jennifer in terms of classic fashion (except for her recent wrinkly turn in Christian Dior on the Walk of Fame), but she seems to think that descriptor fits her. In fact, JLo insists that her style is very obviously a blend of Jackie O, Ava Gardner, and vintage, 1980s Madonna. Now I can sort of see the latter, but as far as Jackie and Ava are concerned? Bitch, please:
Jennifer Lopez says her style is a mixture of late US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, singer Madonna and Old Hollywood starlet Ava Gardner.
Jennifer Lopez’s style is a mixture of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Madonna and Ava Gardner.
The 43-year-old singer – who has her own fashion range for Kohl’s – revealed she takes inspiration from the three very different style icons.
She said: “If you mix Jackie O with Madonna in the ’80s and Ava Gardner, that would be kind of like my style.”
Like Madonna, 54, Jennifer is known for her provocative stage outfits, but she is regularly commended for her red carpet style – much like former US First Lady, Jackie, and Old Hollywood actress, Ava, were.
No matter what she wears, the singer-and-actress insists it’s important to carry every outfit off with confidence.
She explained: “You just have to decide what you feel most confident in, because confidence is what makes people sexy. You have to be you but don’t get stuck.”
[From Contact Music]
Okay, Jennifer has a point about carrying her various fashion forays off with confidence. She always wears her outfits — they do not wear her at all. But I still unavoidably laugh at JLo thinking people will readily tie her fashion sense to Jackie O and Ava Gardner. She seems to think that she can just put that out there, and eventually people will believe it, which is ridiculous … especially when Jennifer’s most important accessory of the past couple years has been a young piece named Casper Smart. Madonna would totally go (and has gone) there though.

A Human Rights Watch report has called Turkmenistan “one of the world’s most repressive” regimes. Internet traffic is monitored and reporters being jailed is the norm. Says HRW, “Media and religious freedoms are subject to draconian restrictions, and human rights defenders and other activists face the constant threat of government reprisal. The authorities continue to use imprisonment as a tool for political retaliation and to restrict peoples’ right to travel freely.”
So it’s no surprise that when Turkmenistan leaderGurbanguly Berdymukhamedov celebrated his 56th birthday on Sunday, it was with a special performance from Jennifer Lopez. How else was she going to get people to clap for her if not through fear and intimidation.
Reports say Lopez was paid $1 million plus expenses for the performance. She dressed in a traditional Turkmen dress to sing Happy Birthday to the president and performed a few of her other hits. Thus instilling more sadness into this country than Gurbanguly ever could.
Lopez’s publicist says the event was vetted by staff and had they known of any human rights issues, they would not have attended. Her publicist also told The AP that the event was hosted by the China National Petroleum Corp. and wasn’t a political event. That totally explains why she sang happy birthday to the Turkmenistan leader.

Jennifer Lopez is at it again with her one-off gigs (not shown in these photos, which were taken in London last month) in former Soviet republics. This time, she earned $1.4 million on Saturday evening by performing at a birthday celebration for the president of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov. Berdymukhamedov presides over what Global Human Rights Watch describes as “one of the world’s most repressive countries.” In Turkmenistan, Internet use is severely restricted (with social media being completely outlawed), and all electronic and television communication is monitored. In addition, Turkmenistan does not allow freedom of thought or religion, homosexuality is punishable by law, and the authorities have been known to demolish homes and forcibly evict residents without any form of compensation.
Naturally, JLo claims that she knew nothing of the sort, and her publicist is insisting that she’d never have performed in Turkmenistan if she’d have known anything at all about the country’s human rights history. This situation is much like Hilary Swank getting $1.5 million for the Chechen dictator’s birthday party wherein she gushed about how Ramzan Kadyrov is such a wonderful leader and does so much for his people. Celebrities and their teams have access to the Internet, right? It’s like they don’t know how to Google anything (except themselves), and JLo looks pretty ridiculous right now:
The US pop star Jennifer Lopezhas added to her long history of performing for unsavoury characters with a birthday concert for the president of Turkmenistan — a man accused of committing widespread human rights abuses while ruling over the hermit nation.
Human rights activists criticised the star, also known as JLo, for singing at the flashy southern resort of Avaza on Saturday night to mark the 56th birthday of Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, attended by a select group of officials, diplomats and executives.
With a shout of “Turkmenistan!”, Lopez took to the stage to sing and dance her way through her biggest hits. At the end, she changed from a skimpy white dress into a long, traditional Turkmen outfit to sing Happy Birthday, Mr President. “It was our pleasure,” Lopez said from the stage. “And we wish you the very happiest birthday.”
Berdymukhamedov presides over a personality cult in the oil and gas-rich central Asian nation and brooks no dissent. Human Rights Watch calls Turkmenistan “one of the world’s most repressive countries.” Lopez is believed to be the first major star to visit and perform in Turkmenistan, a nation whose people live in poverty and are allowed little contact with the outside world.
Lopez’s entourage appeared unaware they were heading to a country where the internet is tightly controlled. Access to social media and websites run by independent media and human rights groups is banned. “I wonder where all my Turkmenistan followers are!? Hit me up!” tweeted her choreographer JR Taylor. The tweet was later deleted as reports of Lopez’s controversial performance began to spread.
Lopez’s publicist released a statement on Sunday saying that had the singer been aware of the country’s human rights issues, she would not have performed there. The statement said she was invited to perform for CNPC and “graciously obliged” their last-minute request to sing a birthday tune for Berdymukhamedov.
Lopez has also performed at the wedding of an Uzbek businessman in Ukraine, reportedly for $1m, as well as for the Azeri oligarch Telman Ismailov, reportedly for $1.4m.
Before two performances in Russia last year, Lopez declined to discuss the country’s human rights situation with fans during a phone-in. In response to a question about the jailed punk band Pussy Riot, she said: “I don’t like to talk politics, to be quite honest.”
[From Guardian]
LOL at JLo’s choreographer asking where all his Turkmenistan tweeps are, and double LOL at the deletion of said tweet. One would think that celebrities would require their teams to research any and all important matters of human rights record whenever visiting an unfamiliar foreign country. This should just be a part of the job, right? Of course, I’m not excusing JLo at all for not bothering to at least visit the main Wikipedia page for any unfamiliar country she visits. That’s just common sense. Here’s a video clip of JLo’s fierce, enthusiastic performance for Berdymukhamedov, and I’m sure JLo will be keeping the money all to herself.

It seems as though each day a new celebrity is under fire for their actions, and now Jennifer Lopez is the latest to receive backlash for a performance she gave in Turkmenistan on Saturday (June 29).
JLo was on hand for the country?s leader Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov?s birthday celebration, where she did a set of her hits before singing ?Happy Birthday? to the man who is considered to be one of the most oppressive leaders in the world by Human Rights Watch.
A spokesperson for Ms. Lopez issued a statement saying that Jennifer never would have agreed to sing at the event had she known about Berdymukhamedov?s history of human rights violations.
Check out the official statement from the singer?s camp below:
?Jennifer Lopez and several other artists were invited and performed at a private corporate event for the China National Petroleum Corporation that was presented to their local executives in Turkmenistan.
This was not a government sponsored event or political in nature. The event was vetted by her representatives, had there been knowledge of human right issues of any kind, Jennifer would not have attended.
The China National Petroleum Corporation made a last minute ?birthday greeting? request prior to Jennifer taking the stage. This was not stipulated in her contract but she graciously obliged the China National Petroleum Corporation request.?

Taking care of her domestic duties, Jennifer Lopez did a little grocery shopping in Calabasas, California on Sunday afternoon (June 23).
Joined by her kiddos Max and Emme, the ?On the Floor? songstress put her hair up in a bun and headed back to her mommy mini-van after collecting plenty of healthy foods.
On Thursday (June 20) Jennifer was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and she couldn?t help but get emotional during the occasion.
Lopez told the crowd, ?I really am overwhelmed. This all feels, I don?t know, kind of surreal, but so real. It?s awesome.?
She continued, "I love you, thank you so much for going on this journey with me. This landmark moment inspires me to work harder and dream bigger for all that is the future. I hope you feel as I do that it was all worth it, and I hope that I have touched your hearts even in a small way."

Jennifer Lopez wore a Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2013 dress with a rise-and-fall hemline to the unveiling of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. A lighter, strappier sandal or peep-toe would have worked a lot better than those clunky Brian Atwood ankle-strap pumps she’s wearing, but I love the dress. However, I don’t love it at two o’clock on a Thursday on Hollywood Boulevard. It’s completely inappropriate for the event. She looks ridiculous. Not to mention in desperate need of a hand-held steamer. It would seem couture ball gowns aren’t meant to be worn while lying on a sidewalk.

Making an impact in both the acting and music world, Jennifer Lopez was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday (June 20).
The "Live It Up" singer surrounded herself with family and her beau, Casper Smart, in a white sleeveless top and billowy peach skirt as she posed with her star.
Stoked for the award, the 43-year-old talent tweeted, "I wouldn't be where I am today w/o all of YOU and your infinite love & dedication. So excited for all of you to share this day with me!!! :)"
Nabbing the 2500th star, later J-Lo added, "The road that led to this day is paved with hard work, happiness & your amazing support! Excited to see u soon!!"
