Jennifer Lopez in UK Cosmopolitan February 2008

Jennifer Lopez Is the Queen of Mistakes and Happy About It

January 12, 2008

It's been a few weeks since we've seen Jennifer Lopez out and about, but she's all over the magazines these days. She's not showing off her bump photoshoot-style just yet, but that doesn't mean she won't partake in the requisite excited talk about her growing family in UK Cosmopolitan. Awwwww all around. Here are highlights:

On her diva demands: "[Laughs] All that diva stuff was just so unreal. I never made demands like that. I would never ask for rooms to be painted white and I don't even know how to count the threads on sheets! Sometimes you can get stuck in a world and you don't know how to get out because it's all so crazy. But you learn — boy do you learn. Hey, I'm the Queen of Mistakes!"
On motherhood changing her life: I don't know about motherhood, but certainly being this happy has changed me. I feel so much more creative about music — now if people criticize my music it doesn't bother me because it's not the only thing in my life. I wake up and I don't groan, thinking of all the things I need to do. I'm just happy.

Happiness abounds with the moms and moms-to-be in Hollywood today. Yay! Gushing all around! Anyway, she may not be a diva, but I can't wait to see her little one(s) who will surely be some of the most fashionable tots around.

She is beautiful and down to earth. Everybody always assumes the worse about her. Everybody is always making-up dumb stories of how she made someone pick out the strawberry seeds off her strawberries or something stupid like the maid had to test the water in the pool before she could get in. Come on people, don't makeup anymore exaggerated tales! Some people are actually gullable enough to believe that! HAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

I think she might have changed and matured...but that doesn't mean that she was never a diva. The fact is she is the one who enabled the rumor to be believed. You don't flash your wealth around like she did and not expect people to think that you are spoiled. That is the image you are choosing to portray.

Wow that is horrible txlatina. J.Lo has always sounded like a diva and that makes her sound worse imo.

Oh Jennifer I was starting to believe in you again then you had to go and lie about being a diva. There was a waitress in florida who also worked at a hotel in southbeach that said Jennifer had asked for a bowl of strawberries and asked for every seed to be picked off. They did it and when they brought it to her she laughed and said "oh I just wanted to see if you'd actually do it." This was when she was first coming on the scene so I can just imagine how ridiculous she got as she got more famous.

I don't buy the "I don't even know how to count threads in sheets". Please. I hope she doesn't really think people are daft enough to believe this interview.For real, aside from the actual label could you figure out EXACTLY how many threads are in a sheet? Because it's luxe some people will say it's different (and I'm a believer of this). However, not everyone is that sensitive or particular. She may very well not know! Can you tell if something has a count of 400 threads?

Oh, and I forgot. It seems like all these publications and entertainment blogs/networks were sooo mean to/about her when she was with Ben. Their so glad that's over they are *now* being nice to her or trying to make her out as becoming more grounded since then. I don't buy it and it's not fair. As Lula29 said, "She doesn't need to be grounded. She's one of the most grounded celebs IMO. Human, capable of doing stupid things, full of mistakes, but definitely still pretty grounded. J.Lo has never seemed a diva to me, very determined, and there is nothing wrong with that. I'm happy she's happy."And I completely agree! :) I think it's just the some of the media attitude towards her.

"I love when celebrities concoct stories to make themselves seem 'regular' when they need a publicity boost. I believe I read a story on Bella Sugar about her 10,000 dollar a day makeup artist and what about her Mink eyelashes, fur coats, etc. She drives Bentley's!! Sounds diva to me!I don't buy the "I don't even know how to count threads in sheets". Please. I hope she doesn't really think people are daft enough to believe this interview."You're entitled to your opinion. And you're right some celebrities do concoct stories. However, can we really know who is honest and who isn't? How do you know if your faves really are what they are?Let's say the "diva" stuff is true. I think she has every right to request what she wants. The make up that you refer to, well she pays for it! Madonna, J.Lo and various other women started to wear false eyelashes and know its back to being trendy...but she's not the only one that has mink eyelashes. And heaven forbid that she own a bentley!If you can afford a car and you like it, you buy it! She is a Leo and she has been flashy but because we're on the outside looking in it's been easy to make her a caricature of what we want to believe a modern diva is. But that doesn't make us right. By the way the word diva is overused. It used to mean something. Maria Callas, the opera singer, was a DIVA. I think Jennifer is great and she can have a bigger than life - glamourous vibe about her but she isn't a diva in that sense. Neither is Madonna or Mariah or Beyonce. Non of them are legendary like that. Again, say it was true. Aside from working hard she probably is a lot nicer about things, than the salty two faced Mariah Carey. We all have our moments. I can only imagine if you or me were famous - if we had one bad day, or just acted nice all the time (only to one day assert ourselves or lash out on a bad day) people would be quick to be mean and start calling us divas, etc.You gotta walk a mile in someone else's shoes before you say something about them. We're all human beings with multiple facets of our personalities. Thanks.
