Jennifer Lopez has long and firmly secured the status of a scandalous star. In the Hollywood crowd, she is not loved for her absurd character. Not everyone agrees to work for Lopez, so she is prone to tantrums and whims. And her visit anywhere always turns into a hellish test for the administration and staff of the institution.
Jennifer is rarely satisfied. In order to satisfy all the whims of the singer, she carries 35 security people and staff with her, and her luggage is 60 suitcases. In hotels, she occupies entire floors and requires that none of the staff even dare to contact her. In particular, because of her temper, Lopez has repeatedly found herself in the center of scandalous situations.
When the famous Madame Tussauds Museum created a wax statue of Jennifer Lopez, she demanded that the statue be reduced in the volume of the hips and did not want to believe that for museum sculptures the object of copying is measured to the millimeter. As a result, the museum administration gave in and, under the close supervision of Jennifer, about two kilograms of wax were removed from the thighs and buttocks of the statue. True, when fans of the actress who specially came to the opening saw the corrected statue, they were disappointed, noting that the wax figure of Jennifer was far from being as good as the real Jennifer.
Rider J. Lo topped the list of the most ridiculous celebrity whims. The performer demands diamond-encrusted headphones and a leather toilet seat in her room. Also, the singer's rider contains a personal beach. And the height of absurdity is that the color of the walls in Lopez's hotel room should match her mood.
In 2001 Jennifer Lopez came to the BBC interview surrounded by 90 people from her staff and demanded nine dressing rooms for them.
Lopez, due to excessive whims, disrupted her own performance in India at the opening of the cricket Premier League. The organizers simply refused to fulfill her excessive demands. Lopez wanted a private jet, luxury rooms for her entire large team, paid for by the concert organizers. As a result, the organizers of the show replaced her with the rap artist Pitbull.
Jennifer Lopez found herself in an extremely delicate situation, speaking live on German television. She showed her bare chest to the whole stadium. And all because of the too frank neckline of the dress, which let the singer down at the most crucial moment.
The star angered her fans and American human rights activists when performed at the birthday party of President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, who is considered around the world as a dictator and initiator of harsh repressions against his people. Lopez performed several of her hits on a huge stage with a fountain, accompanied by ballet. And she even sang the famous song “Happy Birthday to You” to the president.
On May 28, 2013, Jennifer Lopez performed at the gala concert of the popular British show Britain's Got Talent. The pop star performed her single Live It Up at the concert. However, the singer's performance caused a scandal in Britain: viewers did not like the celebrity's spicy outfit and her frank dance Outraged British drew attention to the fact that Britain's Got Talent is positioned as a family show in which such spectacles are unacceptable. Lopez took to the stage in leather over the knee boots and a black swimsuit that perfectly showed off her curvaceous figure. Actress and TV presenter Amanda Holden, who is part of the jury, could not resist praising the pop star's buttocks.
In January 2014, Jennifer Lopez released the song "Girls", and in February the song "Same Girl" was released. Both songs became promotional singles from Lopez's eighth studio album A.K.A., which was released on June 13, 2014. The album was unsuccessful on the charts. It debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, selling only 33,000 copies in its first week.
