Is Jennifer Lopez the new age Elizabeth Taylor

Exceptionally beautiful, lots of husbands, more hits than flops. Except more multi talented?

by Anonymousreply 47August 29, 2023 9:54 PM

She doesn't have the eyes, jewelry, or the decolletage to pull off Liz and her superior vulgarity.

by Anonymousreply 1August 28, 2023 8:23 PM

She's not exceptionally beautiful OP, nor can she act. She can barely sing, but is a decent, though not great, dancer at least in a certain style of dancing.

by Anonymousreply 2August 28, 2023 8:32 PM

Jennifer Lopez a well curated, very average looking woman.

She lacks the beauty and international star power Elizabeth Taylor had.

I'm not going to be able to answer this question until JLo gains 150 lbs at least once and maybe twice.

Also - needs more husbands.

Not even close, OP.

JLo would have to age ten years to be in Liz's league lookswise at the same age

by Anonymousreply 8August 28, 2023 9:09 PM

No, OP, Jennifer is a lovely looking woman but she can't hold a candle to Elizabeth Taylor's astonishing beauty.

OP, you're either J.Ho's publicist, a dangerously delusional fan or completely deaf and blind. Well, if you are a fan of J.Ho you must per force be delusional, deaf and blind, so... 🙄

Liz was exceptionally beautiful and charismatic, even if she was an extremely affected actress whose delivery was theatrical and mannered. As R1 has said, she also knew how to tread the fine line between reasonable ostentation and the garish vulgarity of a nouveau riche, while remaining pleasant, approachable and humble - at least in public.

J.Ho is plain without makeup, isn't particularly charismatic, is a bad actress who always plays herself and lacks both style and any real glamour. She is just a trashy underclass bitch who slept her way into superstardom and like all parvenues, she thinks that divadom is the same as rudeness, being unreasonably demanding and lacking any finesse whatsoever, just because 'you got money'. And let's not even talk about the torture device she calls a voice or her mediocre dancing.

You cannot possibly compare them.

JLo is almost 60 and far from plain. Her face just looks washed out because when you wear makeup for so long you can’t stop. Ru Paul can attest to that. Jlo is still in great shape. Liz while I would argue had prettier eyes than Jlo is equally as beautiful. However by the time she was 45 she couldn’t say no to diamonds and pies and it clearly showed. What about JLo is hoish oh let me guess because she is boricua.

Elizabeth could be a royal pain in the ass, but I don't think she ever pulled that "don't you dare look at me, you peasant" bullshit that Lopez does so well.

by Anonymousreply 12August 28, 2023 9:47 PM

Elizabeth could be plain too though, we just don't know because she troweled on the makeup

by Anonymousreply 13August 28, 2023 9:51 PM

The one thing they may have in common is an atrocious fashion sense.

The taste level on both of them... I question it.

by Anonymousreply 14August 28, 2023 9:51 PM

R12 The people she said that to must be weak because she would have gotten a royal tongue lashing and been afraid to ever behave like that again if she did that to me. Granted that it’s even true.

by Anonymousreply 15August 28, 2023 9:53 PM

IMO: Elizabeth Taylor never came across as pretentious or infatuated with herself. She seems to have had a delightful sense of humor, and she had friends among her peers,. She was genuine and very candid in person. Watching her on LArry King, or with Barbara Walters I got the impression she was empathetic, and kind. I get nothing like that from JLo. JLo seems very programmed and calculating and there's no spontaneity that I can see. Any comparisons between the two would have to be very superficial.

by Anonymousreply 16August 28, 2023 9:53 PM

One thing I will say is Liz seem to naturally exude class. Like she just felt like royalty and it came across in interviews and commercials. That’s probably why she was humble at least outwardly so. Queen Bey reminds me of her in that regard. They just naturally exude beauty, class and excellence so they don’t feel the need to pull the diva card.

by Anonymousreply 17August 28, 2023 9:56 PM

OP, I was with you right up until you dragged Beyonce into it. She has nothinng of Elizabeth Taylor's beauty, humor, generosity and kindness.

Bey does self-aggrandizing PR stunts at Christmas. Elizabeth put her reputation on the line and would not shut up, no matter what. She brought so much attention and awareness to the issue and saved untold lives during the AIDS crisis. We can never thank her enough. She was the real deal in a business filled with phonies and fakers.

by Anonymousreply 18August 28, 2023 10:05 PM

R18 The Queen does nothing for stunts and is plenty charitable. Things you never hear about. Money sent to Africa, a beauty school for single teenage moms in Brooklyn. Look she can’t help it that she was 3 yrs old during AIDS epidemic. She told you bitches to get vaccinated during Covid.

by Anonymousreply 19August 28, 2023 10:09 PM

Elizabeth Taylor in private was pretty crass and vulgar and shallow - a lot of other people's memoirs and diaries make that clear.

On the other hand, go watch her in one of her earlier movies like "Father of the Bride" and it's clear that she's 1000% more beautiful than J.Lo ever was or will be.

by Anonymousreply 20August 28, 2023 10:29 PM

JLo is more like a Gabor sister.

by Anonymousreply 21August 28, 2023 10:34 PM

She's practically retarded, R19, come on now. The reason Knowles doesn't do interviews anymore is because she always came across like a complete idiot. She was homeschooled by her father until 8th grade and went to a "performing arts" high school after that.

Look, she's done a few successful pop songs, she's pretty enough, she's not a great singer, not a great dancer but she seems to make it work.

Her "Sasha Fierce" thing is insane.

by Anonymousreply 22August 28, 2023 10:38 PM

JLo is only like Taylor in they have multiple marriages. I iked JLo's acting pre JLo, especially in Out of Sight, but she's no Liz Taylor.

R22 You sound very uneducated. This comes across as lacking intellect to you. Isn’t the retard word a bit vulgar and offensive?

Out of Sight was a good movie and both JLo and Clooney were good in it. That's largely down to Soderbergh I expect.

Taylor was not a great actress, she was a great movie star. JLo, sadly, is neither a great actress nor a great movie star. She can be okay in some rom-com roles. I can't see her attempting "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" at any point in the future.

Why the fuck is Beyonce being inserted in this thread?

by Anonymousreply 26August 28, 2023 10:57 PM

I don't know, some Beyonce fan brought her up, R26.

He/she may truly think that Beyonce's beauty is on a par with Elizabeth Taylor's but this is not actually the case. That's not a slight on Beyonce Knowles. Nobody is as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor was unless you're going into other old-time movie stars. They gave great FACE and there are probably a few who could give Taylor a run for her money but they'd still lose to her.

Elizabeth had a mouth like a truck driver and could drink like a sailor. Crude? At times. Shallow? At times.

Great sense of humor and she's always in on the joke, never took herself too seriously. She was very quick to laugh and quick to be generous and kind to others. She stood by her old friends and never abandoned them. She was a stand-up broad.

I hate to see a grifter like Sharon Stone pretending to work for AMFAR. She's only in it for the PR and personal aggrandizement she gets out of it. It's also one of the only ways she's going to get invited to Cannes anymore.

Liz Taylor took the side of a child rapist because he gave her jewels. She's a shallow cunt. Fuck her.

by Anonymousreply 33August 28, 2023 11:48 PM

Taylor believed MJ, stupidly of course, but she still did actually believe that he was innocent.

We do not say "Fuck her" about Elizabeth Taylor. She risked her own reputation, refused to be silenced and saved too many of our friends for that sort of thing. We love her and we are forever grateful to her. What she did for us can never be repaid.

You are a useless trollcunt. Go away.

MJ was innocent. All these big time people could not have been bamboozled by him.

R34 cut the phony shit. The gifts he gave her had everything to do with her beliefs of his "innocence".

I'll call her anything I want while you continue to lick her asshole.

by Anonymousreply 36August 29, 2023 12:11 AM

Kitty Kelley's book "The Last Star" was so aptly titled.

And Taylor maintained her world-stardom pre cyber technology, no small feat, in a world where you had daily gossip columns in paper and ink, not instant imagery and text.

JLo is just another beautiful face in the social media and internet celebrity crowd.

Still, I admire Lopez. She took her minimal talent and maximal face and body, and through super-human application of the 4 Ds, made herself a famous, wealthy star. I've got to admire her ambition and I give her her due.

Elizabeth was a fully realized, substantive person. She shared. She was emotional. I adored her. She seemed accessible, emotionally. With JLo I feel like there's no "There" there.

Y’all ever realize that certain dataloungers always say some white person was fully realized or substantial when comparing them to a minority. They don’t even try to hide their racism.
