hey hey! so yesterday was jennifer lopez's 40th birthday and over in NYC tonight her (troll-like) hubby marc anthony threw his wife a surprise birthday party (here's pictures of the first non-surprise party) at the edison ballroom - called 'an evening for lola' (which i assume is a pet name of his for her) by the looks of the pictures below - ms. lopez was actually surprised (there were tears!) and was greeted by such guests as (bisexual) hottie ricky martin, leah remini and my darling liza minnelli (who i'm sure was the life of the party after a few drinks) jennifer looks fabulous (40 is the new 30 right?) and she seems to be fairly happy with marc (we all know if girlfriend isn't happy ... she doesn't stick around) it must have been a fun party to be at - i guess my invitation got lost in the mail! (which is probably for the best - what would i buy her for a present?) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! this is a follow-up post to a rumor that was floating around a few months back ... supposedly jennifer lopez and marc anthony were to announce their rumored divorce during marc's NYC concert on valentine's day - tonight he did perform but there was no announcement about the state of their marriage! the couple was spotted leaving for madison square garden where his show took place - ms. lopez was sporting a sparkly heart-shaped purse (perhaps a present from her hubby?) the couple has been plagued with rumors for quite some time now but right now everything still appears to be honky dory! i hope y'all had a nice & romantic holiday - today my adorable boyfriend ivan and i picked up matching iphones at the grove's apple store - although i love my blackberry (i will miss it dearly) yet it was time to move on - i'm utterly enthralled with my new purchase! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
good morning! this week's STAR magazine is chock full o' more drama for jennifer lopez and her supposedly estranged hubby marc anthony (things have apparently gone all olivia newton-john - physical!) and ms. lopez could be turning to her ex-boyfriend diddy for help (she did look way better back then - when she was still 'jenny from the block' - her gold dress this past sunday was all wrong - she was poured into it and had overflow - yikes!) there's been so many rumors over the past few months - the split seems totally inevitable to me - it's just a matter of when the couple decides to go public with the news (perhaps on valentine's day) based on the details below - this could seriously be the most dramatic divorce of the decade - i've been dying for some new drama - oh i certainly smell the perfect gossip storm brewing! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
"They love hard; they fight hard — and sometimes that has led to pushing and shoving," reveals an insider close to Marc. "They throw things and scream and just go bananas. It's been war in their house!" And while Jennifer is known to let loose on him, another source says Marc "can be really mean. He's a macho guy with a horrible temper and can say awful things."
What triggers these blowups? A number of things — from various women calling their home to speak with Marc to his comments about Jennifer's "chubby" post-baby body. And it's not all him, another source insists the physicality of their relationship is just Jen's way of getting her husband to pay attention to her. SOURCE
BONUS PICS JENNIFER LOPEZ & MARC ANTHONY AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES (LA, 01/11/12)
good evening y'all! i'm still laughing from this morning when the NY post's gatecrasher posted this ridiculously delicious rumor that i can't stop thinking about...
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony may have renewed their wedding vows a mere three months ago, but their rocky romance will likely bite the dust right after Valentine's Day, says an insider. "Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc's show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14," a friend of the couple tells us. "Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven't been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell." SOURCE
i simply can't believe jennifer lopez and marc anthony will announce the end of their four-year marriage and then sing a duet together on valentine's day - it sounds like something out of a bad & tacky telenovela! i'd actually love to be there that night to if this shit goes down like 'an insider' says it will - i'll be shocked if it actually happens! the split does seem inevitable - they've been plagued by split rumors for weeks now but i just can't see 'em announcing it on stage like that yet they'll gain points for dramatic effect if they do (keep in mind - she did announce her pregnancy while on tour) perhaps the couple can spin this off into a musical (hopefully not like the disastrous flick el cantante) the 'divorce duet' would mark the end of act I - they just need to figure out what's going to happen in act II! perhaps after the duet comes to an end the divorce gets super nasty - i wonder if they even signed a prenup agreement? i'm assuming she'll gain custody of twins max & emme (his ex-wife dayanara torres must be loving all of this drama!)
although i was not a fan of the couple at all when they first got together - they've grown on me - i'm quite bummed to see it all come to an end (well, not really - it's just the sentimental side of me talking - four years is a long ass time in hollywood) right now you can get your fill of jen & marc singing together by watching the video for no me ames posted below - it's such a guilty pleasure song! (it might even be the song they plan to sing together on valentine's day...) plus there's pictures of ms. lopez flying solo at the los angeles premiere of the curious case of benjamin button (on december 8th) where she was spotted sans her wedding ring - which totally kicked the rumors into high gear! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
oh my word! i'm stunned - well not really - but this bit of gossip came out today - seemingly out of left field - it sounds like there's trouble going on between jennifer lopez and marc anthony after nearly fours years of wedded bliss which produced twins max & emme (they both turn one-year old in february) ms. lopez used to be in popbytes' shithouse and then i started to warm up to her again - i even retired my marriage count after almost two years (everyday i was updating how many days she was married) i thought everything seemed fine with the couple but that might not be the case anymore! she's still in my good graces - currently christina aguilera is residing in my shithouse (she's super annoying and all those comments (which she said to my longtime pal charlie amter) about lady gaga totally irked me) anyways right now everyone needs to be on high alert when it comes to jennifer & marc - i'll be disappointed if they split up (and we all know dayanara torres is going to be thrilled by this news) marc's rep said today everything is fine between the two - and they even had a date last night together at los angeles' luau restaurant (there's pictures below) so maybe this is just merely rumors - i guess only time will tell! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
hey hey! jennifer lopez was up in malibu's zuma beach today...doin' it well...she finished the city's first ever triathlon (alongside mega hottie matthew mcconaughey who also competed) in two hours, 23 minutes and 28 seconds (while her hubby marc anthony cheered from the sidelines along with matthew's main lady camila alves and the couple's new baby levi) the race included swimming, biking and running (as most triathlons do i suppose - you certainly won't catch me undertaking something like this anytime soon...) now this is all splendid & great for 'jenny from the block' (who not too long ago gave birth to twinsmax & emme and underwent intense training to be ready for this race) but girlfriend needs to seriously explain why just this past friday she canceled her appearance on project runway at the very last minute claiming she had a mysterious foot injury...but then two days later she competes in a triathlon?!? it simply doesn't make any sense at all (plus apparently she has been itching to be a guest judge on the show for years...i'm dying to know the real reason she canceled) jennifer lopez could have at least came up with a better excuse! popbytes over & out for tonight....xxoo (oh my word - is it almost monday already?!?)
hey hey! new mom jennifer lopez took a little alone time tonight with her hubby marc anthony at NYC's waverly inn (while the babies were under lockdown with fort knox security) for just having twins like nine weeks ago (february 22nd) she looks quite refreshed & relaxed and it appears she lost most of her baby weight! yet i'm not crazy about that color on her - it makes her look older and a tad boring (although i'm not a huge fan of his - he doesn't look too bad actually - mr. anthony should always keep those sunglasses on...) over the weekend i tried to watch el cantante but i just couldn't make it through the whole thing - once i take a break from watching a movie - 99% of the time i don't finish it - there's simply too much other stuff to watch to start back pedaling! now that ms. lopez has the baby thing under her belt i'm curious to see what her next move will be - probably not another movie with marc! (maybe she'll get back to promoting her latest album brave which i still stand by as a totally solid pop album!) popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo!
good evening! i've mentioned a few times on here before how much i totally enjoy jennifer lopez's latest album brave and below is the brand new video for hold it don't drop it - and of course you can see all the many angles used to downplay her baby bump - but oh my word there's simply no hiding that anymore - if you haven't seen her recently - click here! she's so big but does look glowingly gorgeous - plus this video & song both rock - i love it! (except that silver lipstick ms. lopez is wearing lands on the questionable side of things!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good morning everyone! i'm going to continue to be a broken record when it comes to jennifer lopez's latest album brave - i know it is not selling well at all but gosh i just freakin' love it - i can't believe how much i actually enjoy it! of course it's not the most original or groundbreaking album but gosh it's so much fun! i'm hoping with a few more singles released the album will pick up some steam & attention! (if her label can afford to release another single (since apparently 'jenny from the block' is a big expense) it must be mile in these shoes) below i've got a remix of do it well which is managing to pick up my pop spirits on this rather dreary monday - i could easily sleep more yet i've got to move on and start to deal with today - oh good times! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo! (oh btw - ms. lopez's tour w/ hubby marc anthony has ended and this past weekend in miami - her baby bump was very noticeable during her final performances!)
good morning! ok after this post i swear to lay off jennifer lopez for a bit but for right now i've got a pretty decent remix of her single do it well to help you get your groove on today! i'm still trying to cling to the weekend and this track is helping me do that - i loathe mondays! although actually tuesdays are the worst day of the week for me - at least by wednesday it's the middle of the week! as for ms. lopez her 'en concierto' tour ends down in miami on november 3rd - after that i'm sure she'll be taking some much needed time off to relax and get ready to welcome her bundles of joy that will be arriving sometime next year! it'll be cute to see her do the mommy thing - and she's been trying to get preggers for quite a long time - so i'm thrilled for both her and mr. anthony! enjoy the remix below - popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey kids! i've been meaning to post a bit about friday night's concert extravaganza downtown with marc anthony & jennifer lopez! first off it was already a great evening - since it was friday which meant no work for me on saturday - concerts never seem to land on weekends - so already that was a major bonus! i arrived after the opening act played (which was some sort of comedian - what an odd opener!) once mr. anthony took the stage i quickly found my seat (in the riser section behind the floor which actually gives you extra height to better view the stage from) i'm not a huge fan of his at all but i must say the crowd really seemed to enjoy him (for sure he put me in a sassy mood) he was a very decent performer but i decided to sit out most of his set outside where i was able to get a few more drinks & conversation in before ms. lopez came on which turned out to be shortly before 10pm...
like i've mentioned many times before here - i've gone in & out of being a 'j lo' fan - i used to love her back in the day - then i couldn't stand her but over the past few years i've come to totally being a fan once again! that's why when she kicked off her set with the new single do it well - i went way nuts - it was all very exciting and although i think the crowd was more there for mr. anthony - people seemed to be enjoying themselves as 'jenny from the block' ran through a bunch of her old hits - highlights of course included waiting for tonight & get right - i was sweating by the end! i so really needed to let my hair down - that's exactly what i did - although i did look behind me at one point and so many people were sitting down yet there i was like it was 1999 all over again! i'm sure some people thought i was a bit over the top but i really didn't care - i was surrounded by good vibes and i just had an excellent time - well worth the $100 bucks i spent on the ticket! (however i was hoping she'd play more new tracks from her latest album brave (which i'm obsessed with!) yet she stuck with older hit material - which was fine by me but i would have loved for mile in these shoes to be played live!)
once ms. lopez was done with her set - mr. anthony joined her on stage for a few duets - most notably no me ames which i thought they did a spectacular job with! they actually do seem to be really in love - i really can't knock them anymore as a couple - so that's why i've decided to retire my 'lopez & anthony daily marriage counter' that has been living in the side column for like over three years! it's time to move on - so on friday night i decided to officially end the count with this post!
as for all the pregnancy rumors - it was so very obvious she's pregnant - she even hinted around it a few times (like how it was a year of 'firsts' for her - the all spanish album - the tour - and of course we all know what else she's referring to...) for a pregnant lady (plus it's apparently twins) she got around quite well on the stage and danced a drop more than i actually expected - her little baby bundles must be wondering what's all the mommy hoopla going on outside the womb! earlier in the evening mr. anthony even made a special dedication that also alluded to his wife's growing bump! all in all it was a superb evening - and i can't help but compare the show to beyonce's lackluster recent show at staples center - ms. lopez put on a much better show and i danced way more than i did with ms. knowles! (AND at least jen & marc had a little runway that jutted out into the crowd - something beyonce was seriously missing!)
oh my goodness - the weekend truly flew by! i seriously can't deal with the thought of heading back to the daily grind tomorrow - however i'm very stoked to be seeing rihanna this coming tuesday night down at house of blues - where i know i'll have another fabulous time! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo ;)
UPDATE OH MY GOSH! i had the best time tonight - i danced my ass off! their show seriously kicked some ass - especially beyonce's - her show was so weak compared to ms. lopez & mr. anthony's - it was so much fun - and she's for sure pregnant - there's no question about it yet even being preggers didn't stop j lo from putting on an awesome show! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
good evening! woo hoo - it's friday night and i'm feelin' alright - especially since i'm heading out the door to head downtown (again i hope not to get lost) to see en concierto - aka the jennifer lopez & marc anthony show! i never thought i could be so pumped over a show but for some odd reason - i am! partly i know it's due to the fact that i am completely obsessed with her latest album brave which isn't selling all that well but i fucking love it - i have been playing it non-stop! i think the album will pick up some steam as more singles get released - it's fun - upbeat & a total blast! i'll try and update this post when i return home tonight (and i'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the baby bump of hers...) i hope everyone else has a fab evening planned! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
well not crazy like britney spears who encountered even more drama today when she was slapped with hit & run charges! anyways last night i was a bit stressed out from probably keeping myself too busy all the time (that's another whole story) i sat down and had a few glasses of red wine - before you know it - i was up at the computer...on ticketmaster's website! i had been going back & forth whether i actually wanted to experience jennifer lopez & marc anthony in concert or not next month when their combined headliner tour hits los angeles!
i checked for a single ticket - lo & behold there was a floor seat still left and for $100 bucks - i thought why the hell not?!? so yes i'm going to see la lopez (who - surprise surprise - is a demanding diva!) on oct 19th at staples center - i totally shock myself sometimes! i can't think of anybody else who i've been so up & down on - i used to love 'jenny from the block'- then i couldn't stand her but she eventually started keeping a lower profile and slowly has inched back into my good graces! i still can't stand mr. anthony - most likely i'll probably skip the first part of the show - i don't think i can bear seeing him perform!
i don't have major expectations for the show - it won't be the best thing ever but will be a completely guilty pleasure as she rips through hits like 'waiting for tonight' & 'ain't it funny' (probably my top lopez song) plus i'm looking forward to her upcoming album brave which i do have high hopes for! october is going to be a busy month - besides jennifer & marc - i'v got pj harvey - and possibly rihanna & annie lennox - oh i do love going to shows - next week i'm going to see james blunt who i adore! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo! (btw the picture below was taken on sept 20th over in jolly ol' london!)
PS when i woke up this morning - i was all 'did i buy a ticket to see jennifer lopez last night?!?' the lesson learned here is don't drink & surf ticketmaster - but i'm oh so happy to have secured the ticket!
hey y'all! below i've got the brand new jennifer lopez video for her on fire (at least in my mind and my pal zach's) single do it well! i used to love ms. lopez back in the day (like when she made the cell and was 'waiting for tonight') but then we had a falling out around the time she broke up with p. diddy and took up with dancer cris judd - then landed with ben affleck - she just totally annoyed me but i'd say in the past year or so i have come around again to including her in my good graces - and i'm super excited for her new album brave - i think it's going to be way hot! i've considered securing tickets for her upcoming los angeles show with hubby marc anthony but i doubt i'll go - i may love 'jenny from the block' again but i don't think i'll ever care for mr. anthony - he just creeps me out! enjoy the video below directed by the always amazing david lachapelle! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
good morning! i'm totally tired but i need to get to the city this morning - so i'm just going to leave you with the trailer for el cantante...you know that movie with marc anthony & jennifer lopez - movies with real-life couples usually flop and i highly doubt this one will be the exception...popbytes over & out for now - xxoo!
hey boys & girls! i hope everyone is managing to stay dry over on the east coast - i talked to my dear mom today and she said the backyard has turned into a lake! too bad i can't send some of the west coast sunshine over there - although the sun is shining here the temperature is a bit on the cool side! anyways there's been a recent rash of rumors concerning jennifer lopez's marriage with marc anthony being on the rocks but in the may issue of elle magazine (the UK edition) ms. lopez claims she's at a great place in her life and she has never been happier...although i bet jen wishes her new spanish album was selling better than it is!
i've always had my ups & downs with her but right now i don't mind her so much (girlfriend does need to stop wearing fur though!) if she does end up getting divorced from mr. anthony - that would score her extra points in my eyes - i just don't like her hubby - he's such a creepy creeperson! i'd like to read the whole interview though - just to see what she has to say about victoria & david beckham...between katie holmes and ms. lopez - victoria needs to open up her own marriage counseling center! (but now there's rumors of trouble in that marriage as well!) popbytes over & out for now - i'll check you all later - xxoo!
she's been jenny from the block, jlo and one half of 'bennifer' but this month jennifer lopez, 37, tells elle exclusively why she's the happiest she's ever been and how she always knew she'd find love. "[in my quest for love] i've been burned, i've been bashed and i've been beaten," she says, "but I've never allowed myself to stop believing that one day I would get it right."
hey kids! below is the latest jennifer lopez video for her song que hiciste (in english - what did you do?) from her new all spanish album como ama una mujer which is due to be released in march...the song is quite decent and la lopez looks smokin' hot! (although she does go barefoot in a public restroom in the video) so i'm headed to a little party tonight - i'll fill you all in soon! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey everyone! oh yes it's the weekend - i bet a lot of you are still out shopping since we scored the extra two gift buying days before xmas! i'm sure the malls will be madness today & tomorrow! so i just admitted the other day that this year jennifer lopez didn't bother/annoy me as much as she has in the past - and now she's heading to MTV with a brand new reailty show that starts janaury 15th (the day before my birthday!) called dancelife which focuses on the struggles and drama of six dancers trying to make it big! check out the promo clip below along with the cast photo & bios - the show looks pretty decent! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
From sound stage to center stage, see what it takes to make it as a professional dancer when MTV premieres the new music reality series, DanceLife on Monday, January 15th at 10:30PM (ET/PT). The 8-episode series which featured and is executive produced by Jennifer Lopez, follows the lives of six dancers trying to achieve their dreams and break into the grueling and unforgiving world of professional dance. From auditioning for that key spot in a music video to performing live with top artists, Nelly Furtado and Ashlee Simpson, MTV is there for each dancer's every move. The glory isn't always there, but their love for dance is what keeps the drive alive.

Nolan After teaching himself how to dance by watching Janet Jackson videos, he
moved to LA from Wyoming with no car, no connections, no money and a
dark past and is hoping his hard work and talent will lead him to a big
break and a big paycheck, but for the moment he's not giving up his day
job.
Celestina With almost no professional training, this striking beauty and natural
talent originally from Nigeria has become a music video "It Girl" after
recently co-starring in Prince's 'Black Sweat' video. The driven
Hip-Hot hottie sees dance as a first step to building her empire.
Jersey The former Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleader and Las Vegas showgirl from
no surprise, New Jersey, has trained in everything from acrobatics to
ballet, and is hoping that dance will be her ticket to fame and her way
out of debt.
Blake The Toronto native is quickly becoming one of the most sought after
dancers in Hollywood with already a long list of credits including
dancing for Madonna, starring in 'Rent' and doing commercials for iPod
and GAP...only problem is he knows it and he makes sure everyone else
does too.
Staci The former Pussycat Doll member who has been dancing professionally for
over a decade has performed with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and
Christina Aguilera and her film credits include 'Collateral,' and
'Charles Angels II,' but her career ambitions aren't limited to dance as
she is betting it all on her new CD.
Kenny The former baseball player from Boston with a "Southey" accent to prove
it, got his first big break dancing with Jennifer Lopez and has since
danced in videos with Madonna, Mariah Carey and Prince, but he might not
make it if he doesn't get serious and drop his partying antics.
you go on and ponder that question and i'm gonna go to bed now - below is jennifer lopez performing with hubby marc anthony at NYC's madison square garden on tuesday night...i'm so tired & i really have no opinion - i can't even muster up a guess! and to tell you the truth - i don't care! when she has a kid either 'naturally' or by adoption we will know sooner or later - ok really i'm done! (and you can see more pics here)
PS i'm glad she dropped out of the 'dallas' movie - she could never have done sue ellen justice!
oh la lopez! i thought she might be barren but there are mixed reports all over the place on whether or not jenny lopez (you know the one from the block) is indeed with child! STAR magazine is saying more yea than nay...some tell-tall signs include lopez not dyeing her hair, cancelling her euro 'rebirth' tour, patting her belly, napping in the afternoon, and being extra gushy with her troll hubby marc anthony who so needs to button up his shirt - just look at him below - what a cheeseball! look at jlo standing right next to him...do you think she is wearing a bra? i don't think she is - you have to be careful with white girl...especially being around all that photog flash! anyways you all know i have had my ups & downs with jen - sometimes i love her...most of the time i loathe her but right now - she isn't really bothering me too much...plus she has managed to stay hitched for two years come june 5th - that's a record relationship for her! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
