Jenny from the Blockhead

I just heard about this story on Mamarazzi (who got it from MSNBC.)

Jennifer Lopez, who appeared on Good Morning, America August 18th to discuss her preparations for the Malibu Triathlon, was overheard saying after the segment that she “couldn’t understand why everyone is talking about that swimmer,” according to a GMA source. “She couldn’t come up with (eight-time gold-medal winner Michael) Phelps’ name, [emphasis mine] and then she yammered on about how she was the one training for a triathlon just six months after giving birth, and how that was the big story right now, not ‘the swimmer.’ ”

So, on the one hand, yay her for losing her baby bulk which had to be difficult if my experience with attempting to shed cupcake weight is any indication and even though she has the means and wherewithal to hire every single professional in the world to help her with this quest.

And on the other hand, WHO WANTS TO HOLD HER DOWN WHILE I PUNCH HER?

Best blog post title ever.

[J]

wow...can you say self-obsessed? (and if you punch her, can i be there to watch??)

[Kay]

I know this post is extremely late...but do to insomnia I was able to catch up with your blog.

Best drink (it caused many drunken nights in Destin, FL)

In a tall glass mix equal parts of

Bacardi Limon
Bacardi Big Apple
Bacardi Grand Melon
Bacardi O
Bacardi Razz

Fill the glass until it is at least half way full and then fill the rest with equal parts of Orange Juice and Cranberry Juice...you can add Ice if you want.

You don't taste the alcohol but it really has an affect

[MojitoMama]

Yeah, J-Lo even though Michael Phelps is some kind of swimming freak of nature (I mean that in a good way) he's far more of a man and waaaay hotter than your skeevy little runt of a husband!

[Colorado Mama]

Ummmm...Heads Up J-Lo. Call me when you complete a real triathlon.

P.S. What's up with GMA for giving her props for raising her own babies. NEWS FLASH: The rest of us have been doing that for years.

[Elizabeth]

J Lo stop worrying about training for your tri-hard-athalon - go and make your husband a sandwich - he looks like he's starving .....

[Elizabeth]

OH MY GOD J LO - you freak. The whole world is in awe of Michael P - I live in New Zealand and we love him and our news broadcasts have been full of Michael stories......but funnily enough nothing about J Lo training for a triathalon ...... mmmmmmm go figure

[Jessica]

While I am perfectly happy to jump on the "Jennifer Lopez has an ego so big she requires a semi to haul it around" bandwagon, I am THOROUGHLY, THOROUGHLY over women using other womens' size as a put-down. There are stupid bitches in all shapes and sizes, but the size of her ass (which is still smaller than that of the average American woman) has NOTHING to do with her cold, withered heart.

Girl-on-girl bodysnarking is never cool.

That said, J. Lo has an ego that's way too big for her accomplishments, and needs to STFU and work on her mind/mouth filter.

[Carolyn J]

OK....sounds off the topic, but stay with me... I am not a huge fan of the "TomKat" thing, but.... Katie Holmes ran/jogged the NYC Marathon and we never heard a word about it until it was over. In fact, I don't think that there were any pics until the end of the race. She drew no attention to it and YES...she had recently had a baby!!! So, thank you Katie for just doing your thing and not having to slam anyone in the process! J-Lo.....get some therapy for your insecurities!!!!

[Susie Sunshine]

Just Jenny From the Block must have momnesia.
In addition to forgetting Michael Phelp's name, it also seems to have slipped her mind that she's not doing a traditional triathlon, it's a much shorter charity version.
Which would still be an impressive undertaking half a year after having twins, but it's like bragging about running in a marathon and doing a 5K.

[cindy b]

There are no words to describe how stupid JLO's comments really are!!!

[Jen in MN]

Why was J Ho ever big news in the first place? She needs to build a bridge and get over herself.

[Momo Fali]

1) Jennifer Lopez is a moron

2) Michael Phelps wants me. (What? No, it doesn't matter that I'm old enough to be his Mother. That just means I could teach him a few things.)

[Daphne]

Oh, and, as a woman, a real woman with curves who desperately needs to lose weight, I'd much rather hear about her triatalon training than the swimming schedule of a 20-something year old boy.

I'll get off my soapbox now.

[Daphne]

Sorry, but add me to the ever-growing list of people who are sick to DEATH of hearing about Michael Phleps. I could give a crap what he eats, when he eats, how much he eats, what he wants to do now, how long he wants to sleep, etc., etc., etc. If I go the rest of my life without hearing one more word about him I'll be a happy woman.

And, hold onto your seats, people..I don't watch, nor am I interested in, the Olympics. I know, I should be studied.

[Ashley]

Seriously? Maybe JLO should challenge Michael Phelps to a race so he can prove that he's not just "some swimmer." Get your head out of your big ass J-LO... the world doesn't revolve around you!

[jerilynn]

not only is J-Lo living in a parallel universe where she is the only important person, how completly ignorant to think for a minute that training for a sprint tri is more newsworthy than breaking 7 world records in a week and winning more gold medals than ANYONE in history. She is truly a complet IDIOT!!!!!

[Kate]

LOL~!!!! how true

[nicole]

me, me, me, pick me!!!

I read this on mamarazzi too! Ughhhhh! I swear celebs live on a completely different planet than the rest of us!

[April B.]

JLoooooser. She is so ridic. I LOVE MICHAEL PHELPS! I just bought my husband a heavy bag for his birthday. Going to work on my TKO. When and where ladies?

[Benny]

God I hope this clip is on The Soup this week.

[Christie]

Jenny from the block(head), strikes again!

[Dominique]

She is a self absorbed, untalented, big butted yahoo. So yeah, I'll hold her down for you. :)

[april]

I personally dont see the drool factor that some see in him, but JLo's comments are just ignorant & arrogant!

[Carrie]

Do you think he has a single hair anywhere other than on his head?

Meaning the orb between his ears.

[Meagan]

Love, love, LOVE the slogan under the picture of Phelps. Delightful!!

[Marisa]

I want to smack that little twit. What a self absorbed BRAT.

[Jessica]

I'll hold her down -- I'll do it! Jeezus - what a total tool.

[Tracey]

I can't stop staring at his belly button... it's so dang cute! Sorry... off topic but anyone else have the same problem?

[Lilly Munster]

OH! Did she give birth ? I thought she was STILL preggo ( some animals have long gestation periods, such as elephants) and "carrying" the babies in her freakishly large ass.

[EC]

If this comment is true, I think Micheal Phelps should be first in line to punch her. That way she won't forget his name. She should be thinking to hire him to train her for the swimming part of the mini-marathon since he has 14 total gold medals.
And JLo just b/c nobody has really talked about you since the birth or your twins doesn't give you the right to take lime light away from someone who just broke an Olympic record. Go train, and worry about winning your own medal.

[Mrs.D]

shouldn't she be training to be an actor, or singer, or something like that? 'cause she needs to. 'cause she sucks at those things.

[Mrs.D]

Ick. J LO is sooooo 1999. I can't stand her or her ugly husband. She just can't get in her thick head that she is NOT the center of the universe. I hope she is in good enough shape to haul around that huge ass of hers.

[Kiki]

I hate her and I hope she dies.

Is that too strong? How about she's a stupid self absorbed bitch who can't act?

[Lisa Randall]

I will be front and center to hold her down while you whale away... talk about self absorbed and shallow... and we pay these celebrities HOW much??

[AtlantaDebbie]

What???!!!? I see below in the comments that the featured event by ol'what's her name is a minimarathon, a half mile ocean swim, an 18 mile bike course, and a 4 mile run. Um, yeah, I think if I had someone else to take care of cooking dinner, cleaning house, taking care of baby, balancing checkbook, I'm pretty sure I could train to complete that. And I'm much older than ol' what's her name.
Minimarathon! And she wants to credit her accomplishment alongside the Olympian who has won the most gold EVER. Gee, what do you think she'd want if she ate a Snicker's Marathon energy bar? At least to be equated with Shawn Johnson, with one gold.

[AtlantaDebbie]

I'll definitely hold down, um, er, what's her name? while you beat the stuffing out of her. Or better yet, Jen, let's hold her under the water for as long as Phelps can stay under.....multiple times!

[Amy]

J. Lo = Slow Ho. Jealous much?

I guess when you've only been on magazine covers for your scandalous outfits, failed relationships and marriages and a new quickie relationship/marriage with a Latino Skeletor (Will someone please tell Marc Anthony to take a shower? I'm guessing he can afford the water bill), that entitles you to ignore a true act of National Heroism. Jennifer - please remember we're in the United States of America and not stuck "On the 6."

Bitch.

[Karina in T.O]

Oh c'mon Megan. He is waaaay cute!

Not like the George Clooney, naked on silk sheets cute. But like the kinda tall, skinny college age kid, big grin and dimple faced cute. Every interview he does makes me smile, between the humilty he shows and that slight lispy-smile thingy, I'm falling in love with this kid more and more! I can totally see this kid knocking back a few beers in the off season.

And I promise this will be my last comment re Olympics and 'dick of the day'.

Check out this guy! The coach of the silver medal winning pole vaulter. Maybe he can give JLo a pep talk....totally knock her ass down a notch!

[gret]

If she is joking, she needs to invest in better writers...if she's not joking, she needs to invest in some wide tape to permanently cover her mouth.

[Cindy cobb]

What no bling for the ding-a-ling? I hope to god those babies have a smart nanny. They'll only go so far staring at her lip-gloss.

[Megan]

yay for bling- but really.. he is not that cute.. why couldn't one of the hot swimmers been amazing?

[Mirinda]

How far up her own ass, exactly, is she? I'd like to give her a dose of reality.

[Carrie]

Love your caption under the picture of what's-his-name.

[Laura]

It's all the hairspray her "sylist" uses on her. No brain cells, just Aqua Net.

[blackbird]

Oh, I'll hold her down for you.
I know where she lives.

[Kelly]

Okay, now that's hot! Must go cool off. Husband must get home soon!!!

[jonniker]

Uh, I can only hope she was joking? Maybe? I mean, could she have been self-deprecating? Errrm, we hope?

[Sue]

Totally different subject than JLO...DMB's sax player, LeRoi Moore died. Is anyone else as sad about this as I am? There's a group of celebs so different from JLo...they donate so much money to worthwhile causes and actually CARE about people other than themselves. SAD!!! Jen, guess that means you better write something else funny ASAP! ;)
