J. Lo To Naked Jen Aniston: Get Off My Magazine Covers!
It's no surprise that reports of a J. Lo marital rift have landed all over the media and on the cover of Us Weekly this week. If you were as beautiful as J. Lo and had once commanded the #1 spot at the box office and been #1 on top of the singles chart, would you be happy sitting on the sidelines in no-press land for as long as she has?
This is a woman whose every romantic move was documented in blow-by-blow fashion on the cover of every celebrity newsweekly, for months on end, just a few years ago. I remember, because I covered the Ben Affleck/JLo romance from the start, after they filmed the dud movie Gigli together, to the morning that they called off their wedding, 
ON their wedding day.
Now, the last magazine cover that I can remember featuring JLo, was her sitting demurely with newborn twins, Max and Emme on People last March 31, after she sold her baby's photos, reportedly for $6 million.
When you're a diva, who's used to having scented grapefruit Jo Malone candles and white lilies fill your every hotel suite upon arrival, and when you got famous by wearing Versace gowns plunging down to there, you know when your star is waning, and .... that's when no one is talking or writing about you.
Guess who the press has been talking about A LOT in the past few weeks? Naked Jen Aniston, on the cover of GQ magazine, and nearly naked Britney, on the covers of Rolling Stone and Glamour magazines. Both those blondes have mounted significant comebacks in the past month.
No wonder J. Lo turned up solo, 
finally looking bootylicious again and ringless on the sure-to-be-highly covered red carpet premiere of Brad Pitt's new film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Who says that Hollywood divas can't mount their own press campaigns as effectively as four-star generals?
That's not to say that there isn't a significant rift in the Marc Anthony/J. Lo marriage, and that she just chose to go public with it now and give a hipcheck to Jen and Brit to get them off those mag covers.
J. Lo doesn't exactly have a stellar marital history. Marriage #1 to waiter, Ojani Noan, lasted two years. Marriage #2 to dancer/chorographer Cris Judd, less than a year, Her engagement to Ben Affleck, clocked in at about a year and finally, Marc is now four and a half years.
I doubt it's coincidental that J. Lo only left each of those relationships when she had another underway. She walked from the Ojani into Diddy's arms and so on and so on.
This is a woman who's called "a classic Tarzan" in romance, by relationship expert, Whitney Casey, author of The Man Plan: Drive Men Wild, Not Away.
"She's already got her hand firmly gripped on a new vine i.e. man," Casey said, "and is ready to spring, before she leaves the old vine (man) behind."
The only question is, who might the new man be? I guarantee you that fresh rumors will start, within the week. The very public, "romantic" dinner that J. Lo and Marc had this week in Beverly Hills just fuels new J. Lo/Marc on-again/off-again fire.
Lopez does appear to also be a woman who's addicted to the very passionate, early stage of a romance. That's the stage when body chemicals, like dopamine and adrenaline, fuel a natural high and it usually only lasts up to about three years. There are truly people who get addicted to it, according to psychologist, Dr. Victoria Zdrok.
So watch out Marc, your wife needs that romance high and she's not getting it from you. Even more significant, as a star, she NEEDS attention and she's going to do whatever's necessary to steal HER spotlight back from Jen, Brit, Angie, Katie and whoever else may have hijacked it!

Wishing BF a Merry Xmas & Happy New Year for 2009, What is going on with her mag cover stories--
kind of lame and need some overhaul at the local spa..
PEACE..
After reading this (to divert myself from the economic disaster that has invaded all of our lives) I feel instantly better about myself and my relationships! I feel sorry for the babies, though. I had hoped they were born out of love. Now I wonder...
Bonnie is identified as a magazine executive....EX executive of a myriad of magazines for whom she no longer works! That my dears is the key here. She got half the story right...JLo did show up to kick start her career back in gear after having twins...this has nothing to do with her husband. She finally found a man who understands a strong, smart, beautiful Latina...and I suspect Marc is all for her getting back out there being the woman he fell in love with...These two are in it for the long run... She simply picked the most high profiled event and showed up looking fabulous! She's baaaack!
Who cares about Aniston's nudie fest...(remember folks a lady with $50 mil in the bank ought to be toned) it was so out of context for her that Harry Smith on CBS went nutz! He actually asked her how old she was....and slobbered over her being "fit"....but its good for Jen to understand, she may have done the shoot for a good reason (to her) but guys are dogs or many of them are and all they want to see are her TATAS..and really don't care that she is promoting a movie. John Mayer is still a kid and if she thinks he wanted to hear other guys talk about her the way guys talk about women among themselves...she's so naive
It's pathetic that these "celebrities" have completely blurred their professional and private lives. They have no clue as to what living a normal life is all about. Obviously they are all screwed up and desperately in need of attention. They will do whatever they have to in order to get it.
Few and far between are the artists like Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, who made their marriage last decades and remained normal, private people 99% of the time. Todays singers, actors, etc... aren't true artists, they are people who should be in intensive therapy to work out their issues.
They strip, adopt, sleep around, and sell their souls for attention. If they didn't have the bit of talent they have, who knows where they'd be.
I suppoose when you haven't got a career any more and no one's offering you any film roles, you take your clothes off and get photograpghed for a magazine cover. Working actors seldom do that.
JLo obviously has been studying at the feet of the public relations master, Vadge.
All naked. All the time. Perfect.
Yes, by all means, please get Jen Aniston off magazine covers and, while you're at it, give J.Lo the boot too.
But above all, please, please, please stop covering so-called celebrity news on Huffington Post. I understand the business strategy, which is to make a wonky site seem less wonky by filling the right side of the page (and, increasingly, bits of the center and left sides) with entertainment "news."
I come to Huffington post for left-of-center insights on political, social and economic issues of the day. I cringe every time my eyes stray to the right column and to the latest pap about this or that celebrity.
When I hear Arianna Huffington speak, she doesn't traffic in celebrity gossip, and she hasn't given any indication that the entertainment field is of interest to her.
The problem with today's obsession with "celebrity news" is it occupies the headlines in too many print and Internet publications. That tends to minimize the important issues of the day that affect our lives, our families, our countries and our planet.
So yes, definitely take Jen Aniston off the magazine covers. But while you're at it, pull the plug on the Huff Post's Entertainment division, or at least keep "entertainment news" off the Huff Post's front page.
The dumbing down of America continues thanks to HP editorial choices.
As irrespective of any gender ,we all are living in this space age of so-called civilization. No one is going to exploite another in gender, race and nationalities. Throughout many centuries ladies were and, are still today being exploited and treated as second class citizen.
The Supreme Lord has send FEMALES to co-ordinate and work closely in harmony with MALES and
NOT to ill-treat them or taking advantage of them as a sexual playing object..
They are to be respected and loved as equal as the same children created by the Almighty Merciful Lord.
Neither J.Lo nor J. An is an actress of the highest calibre. Their box office is studded with more flops and middling flicks than hits and artistic successes. So they and their agents and press people resort to publicity-hugging stunts. J.Lo is just another brand name. I predict that both Jennifers will tank acting career-wise in a few years. By then they will be too old to bare their plastic surgery-enhanced bodies. And not all the plastic surgery and Botox in the world will keep their faces forever youthful.
Who cares???
I ever really saw what everybody thought was such a great beauty
look at her face. She looks exactly like Jane Fonda in that movie they recently did, how old is Jane now?
Christy Turlington’s article about policies that kills women only got 24 comments, but perhaps if she had attached a nude photo the Huff audience would have been all over it.
Got famous wearing Versace? She parlayed being a dancer on In Living Color into getting a recording career and then parlayed that into a movie career, none of them particularly outstanding (revenue not withstanding.)
Thought she was overblown then, didnt care that she had disappeared from the spotlight. Its nice your work is in promoting her to gossip about her, but she did have a history before "Bennifer" which was really the twilight of her "career."
Sex is local. A naked woman I do not know on the cover of a magazine will not make me buy the magazine or have interest in the story. In fact it mostly makes me sick at the implication. Why they (the naked women) do this to themselves is a mystery. Well, it isn't really for I am familiar with the term narcissistic. There must be people in society who consume what color Paris Hilton's underwear are, or what kind of tattoo Britney Spears has and where. ICGAF (I could give a).
If these people have talent then I only want to see them in the venue of their supposed talent. If I wanted porno, I would go to professionals. I have extreme appreciation for the female body, but I like my flesh up close and personal and in three dimensions. I also like the body of a woman to accompany a mind that stimulates thought, deep feeling, and conversation. We got it all twisted here in America.
I know, I know, behind closed doors everyone is getting their freak on. If that were true, no one would have time to consume this constant parade of public exposure of celebrity flesh. They would be too busy dealing with “local” issues as opposed to consuming national tabloid soft-porn.
Get a grip -- on a real woman, not a two dimensional snapshot of a woman you do not know and have no chance of knowing -- suckers!

Oh my god, that was a great line! And I loved your post. Good for you!
