J LO - “I FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER IN HOLLYWOOD”

Jennifer Lopez shared something pretty shocking that at first blush seems ridiculous but when you think about it, you get it -- she says she feels like an outsider in Hollywood.

"I think for me, I know it is important for all of us to feel like we belong, um, and like most people there's so many times in your life when you feel like an outsider, I feel like that in Hollywood sometimes."

Now she could be unloading her feelings because she wasn't nominated for "Hustlers," which was a little surprising giving some serious Oscar buzz. Tyler Perry went off on the Oscars, saying she richly deserved a nom.

There are plenty of folks who are big stars who don't get embraced by center Hollywood ... and some of it's clearly jealousy and ego. In J Lo's case, she gets more publicity than just about anyone for things she does offset and people she dates, and that probably annoys other actors who don't get the shine she does.

She is notoriously stuck up and nasty to people and she works in a career in which relationships are everything. She's lucky she has been able to get and keep jobs with the bad attitude. People don't have to embrace her, too.

Hustlers is a terrible movie and JLo was fine in it. Not great but not as bad as she is in those awful romcom’s. Plus awards don’t mean shit anymore so who cares.

I did work on Gigli and her behavior was fine but that was because of Ben Affleck. She wanted to look good in his eyes.

Other people I know who worked with her on other projects said she was a cunt from hell.

uhhh Benny Medina is not one of the biggest names in music. He is a manger. He was a former record guy but certianly not the biggest name in music. in 2017 he was accused of attempted rape by Jason Dottley. He was pretty much dropped by most of his talent after. At one point in 2003 Lopez fired him and filed a complaint with the California labor board against him.

She also flaunts her exceptional beauty and her body and played a stripper at age 50, all of which is her right, but men tend to objectify women who objectify themselves, and women tend to resent women who objectify themselves. Looking perfect all the time and proudly prancing around semi-nude is not a way to make people want to hug you and confide in you.

Hustlers was a film about women, so, already, it turned off a certain part of the AMPAS. Films about women have to meet a higher bar in order to get award recognition. It had an MC 79 rating and was a box-office hit, both of which certainly would have helped the film's profile. But, the subject matter probably presented another hill to climb. Lopez was nominated for the Globe, SAG, NSFC, and won LAFCA. It's a pretty strong combo to have going into Oscar nominations. She didn't have a BAFTA nomination and the Oscars weren't interested in her film, so that did hurt a little bit.

Bette Midler, Cher, and Lady Gaga got Oscar-nominated for their first awards push, but both films gained traction in a multitude of other categories. I guess a difference here is that Lopez was an established film star for decades. She headlined her own hits going all the way back to Selena in 1997 (which she was also Globe-nominated for) to the more recent Second Act in 2018 (and, of course, Hustlers in 2019). Her career trajectory wasn't dissimilar to Sandra Bullock (although Bullock's box-office was higher in general). Bullock made a deliberate decision to do different films in the mid-2000s. Crash set her on a path that led to The Blind Side. In the late 2000s, Lopez made similar choices (Bordertown, El Cantante, An Unfinished Life) which didn't have much of a payoff. Hustlers, ten years later, seemingly came out of nowhere.

La Lopez was good in a not so good movie "Hustlers". The other lead was used as a foil to tell the audience how boooooyyyyyyoooutiful and sexy La Lopez is. The other lead was made to look less flashy. Lopez's children have performed in public. This is the type of nepotism Lopez complains about.

The actors branch in the Academy saw through Hustlers for what it was. Trashy entertainment with just an OK performance from Lopez. Usually, with the momentum building industry nominations, it’s probably enough to get you nominated if you’re name isn’t JLo. She’s obviously pissed off a lot of her peers not to vote for her. But this bitch is so full of shit. She works constantly when her career should’ve been five years tops. No tears here.

JLo feels like an outsider because she spends more time flaunting her body and boyfriends all the time. After a while, it gets very tedious. I'm not saying she's not talented, but she's more flash than serious actress. And she sings, but she's not really considered a singer probably because when she performs her songs she's all about gyrations and shaking her ass. She dances, but no one is watching her for her craft. They're watching to see if her tits and vagina will pop out of her costume.

It doesn't appear that she's competing against more serious actresses for roles. She certainly has had endurance in the business, but no, people are not in awe of her as a movie star. She wear clothes and poses well. As a result, yeah, you'll feel like an outsider.

That's exactly why she feels like an outsider, it's because she is, people are keeping her at arm's length because she's unpleasant to work with. It's weird that she doesn't realize it. Maybe she does but if so she's making a HUGE mistake trying to whine her way out of that reputation.

R115 Bullshit. In terms of immediate popularity, maybe. But in terms of legacy, Madonna takes the cake. Even her hardcore haters (aplenty on this site) would even cop to that.

As for using social media followers to measure such, remember that those numbers can be greatly exaggerated by bot/fake accounts. Celebrities and their reps are notorious for paying for fake accounts to get their numbers higher. JLO is notorious for playing that game. There was even a little study done a while ago where they measured the amount of most likely fake to real followers for certain celebs, and Madonna (with far less followers than JLO and a number of other musicians) actually had her numbers came out to mostly real followers, while the others had massive amounts of fake ones.

It's "fewer," and Streisand isn't a social media kind of celebrity. The others are. They're all really good at it and are fun to follow, Barbra at least knows she would be a snooze, so she doesn't try it.

She's talking about that Oscar isn't she. I forgot who won that year but I think she really took it as a snub. I myself would've preferred her to that awful girl that played Amy in the Little Women I though was awful. I much preferred Kirsten Dunst and Samantha Mathasis's Amy to this girl with the linebacker shoulders. Jo was supposed to be butch not Amy.

Don't correct me old white fag @ R126. Streizand is a antiquated woman with a dead career and persona. A Snooze is being too kind. She never did know how to sing but her style of murdering music is now without merit too. Nobody under 80 has any attraction to her. Her movies make people laugh. She made one ok one, her first. For historical purposes only. She doesn't even lip sync it well.

Dolly, Cher, Bette, and Nancy have many times Streizand's followers because they are more engaged, interesting, literate, funny, semi in touch with reality and warm human beings. Babara Streizand is the ultimate celebrity equalizer. Her name is famous, but she is not. Her work is dreck and her persona is loathed. No one cares about her at all except for 6,000 old rich Jews and 8,500 Ancient White Fags. They buy everything she croaks out. It's so expensive and the deaf are so loyal to her that she maintains her niche popularity. Jim Brolin buys the rest of her shitty music and products. With Streizand's money. She is grotesque. And the public agrees.

Lopez works hard for her popularity and cash and body and work. She's everywhere. Nobody ever said she was lazy. She can't hold on to the top spots much longer but she has the public attention and appreciation. JLo is more talented than Madonna, and much better looking. Sorry old fags - but no one is loving Madonna's minnie mouse music from 1986. I was three years old. Nobody in my house played Madonna. YUCK. She's catchy. Most y'all caught the same bug.

Your IQ and dick are fewer than mine R126. Trust that. You ARE at least 40 years older than me. Enjoy that.

Don't cover for Streizand's obsoleteness by saying she doesn't like social media. She just can't handle the truth. She is forgotten. It's hard to know what the thing *WAS* about her?? What was it?

Barbaric doesn't know that she isn't fun. That's what her ancient fag fans say to cover up for her supreme vulgarity and rudeness.

When people were going on about her in “Hustlers”, I was ready to be blown away. I thought it was going to be a female version of “Good Fellas” or something.

But it felt like an HBO movie from the 90’s / early 2000’s. J. Lo was J. Lo, I didn’t see anything stand out of her performance besides the pole dance at the beginning. It was typical J. Lo to me.

She’s mad because Hollywood doesn’t kiss her ass and acknowledge her like she’s Kate Winslet or somebody.

And here's the thing, I've always admired Lopez for her drive and discipline. There is something to be said for her taking her beauty and minimal talent, and, through sheer will and work ethic, taking herself to where she is now, such as it is.

The days of Patsy Cline and Gladys Knight, both of whom, without spectacle, dancers, video, could pick up a microphone and awe you with raw talent, and become stars, are over.

Today's mass marketing of Pop Stars, where actual talent is incidental to a look and sound that will sell, rules the day. I risk the ire of the Bey-hive by saying this, but, Beyonce, to me personifies that marketing.

I give Lopez her props for still standing out, especially at her age.

r158, it doesn't take anything away from either Madonna or Janet Jackson to point out what I did at r151.

I happen to have deep respect for both Madonna (although, her current self-humiliation is disturbing) and Jackson.

"Stealing" has always been a part of show business. It's what all successful stars do.

Quincy Jones commented on Mick Jagger's talent and stardom by saying, "Mick stole from both Elvis and Little Richard. Then he added his own, individual style. That's what all the great ones do".

Of course, Lopez has not nearly the level of talent of Janet Jackson (who, I think from a sheer ability standpoint, is more gifted than Madonna) but why single her out for stealing?
