FACEBOOKI really love and respect Jennifer. There is a lot of judging going on here and I wonder people, who judge Jennifer so harshly, are that "saintly".
Jennifer Lopez: I'm in the Best Place I've Ever Been

Since her whirlwind days as one half of "Bennifer," Jenny From the Block has transitioned into Jennifer the Sophisticated Spouse. As she and hubby Marc Anthony prep for the release of their movie El Cantante and their subsequent joint tour, Lopez sat down with Glamour to talk about working with Marc, the never-ending baby questions and insecure pop stars.
Read on for the highlights!:
On making her marriage work:
"We made all these promises to each other in the beginning of the marriage, because both of us have difficult careers to manage with a partner. We don't have 9-to-5 jobs; our day could be 24 hours long if we let it. So you have to carve out your time and make your agreements: 'We are going to travel with each other. If I'm working, you're not going to work. If we both have to work, we're going to make sure we keep that to a minimum.'"
On the constant question of kids:
"Every other week [tabloids] say I'm pregnant, and I keep telling them, 'I'm not yet'...Marc and I just saw the film Children of Men. The message of the movie was if we don't have children, there's no hope for the future...maybe that's what the pregnancy rumors are about...Maybe it's not that deep. Maybe it's more about seeing two people together and wanting to know if it's real. A lot of the time, having a baby solidifies that."
On her surprising chat with Victoria Beckham:
"[Beckham] said, 'People would never guess you're insecure. Are you? Because I know I am.' It was like she had to hear it from me. And I said, 'Yeah, of course I am.' She said, 'But you seem so confident.' And I said, 'Because I am confident! It doesn't mean I don't have my moments. But you have to remember the value of your individuality- that you have something special and different to offer that nobody else can.' She said, 'Oh, I love hearing this. What you're saying is so great!' It was really sweet."
On what she would tell her younger self, if she could go back in time ten years:
"The truth is, everything that's happened was supposed to happen. That doesn't mean I don't look back and think, God, I wish I hadn't had to go through some of those things. But then I think, you know what? It didn't finish me- and I look at where I am now! So I would tell [25-year-old J. Lo], 'Always follow your heart. Sometimes it's gonna hurt, but you're going to be fine.' And I am: I'm in the best place I've ever been."

There is the freak writing about how to masturbate in the middle of this. To this man I say--you need a job, and a life, and a good book to read (preferable a book with no sex). Every male on the planet knows how to masturbate without your help. In regards to J Lo, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

First of all she did not steal that beauty queens husband. Marc Anthony & Dayanara Torres were already in the process of getting a divorce long before Jennifer came into the picture. People need to get their fact's straight before they go off in a tanget. And Marc Anthony and his ex had also seperated 2 years before they actually went through with the divorce. I think Jennifer Lopez is really classy,she has worked hard to be where she is today. And will long be rememered by many, she is after all an icon.

I think Jennifer Lopez is the best. You guys need to stop hatin on her, even if people say she can't sing, she still has sold more albums than you can imagine, she has her own clothing line, she is a high payed model, and most of all she makes them high payed $$$$$$ as a great actress. Before you start hating think about what she has and what you don't. HA HA HA.... Hatersssssss.....

Gosh, what haters some of you people are! Are you guys this insecure and jealous that you can't be happy for someone when they've finally found some kind of peace and happiness. Jennifer is not my favorite but I am happy for her after her failed marriages and relationships that she's found her match. She has to have some kind of talent and brains to have made it this far. Way to go Jennifer!!

JHo is too selfish to get preggers Says:
She won't want to do that to her own body.If anything she will adopt. I'm sure she can find some greasy little rat that looks like Skeletor man that she can adopt. She can talk to Skakolina and she can tell her of a orpahange to get one from.

Years have past and unfortunately she still can't get pregnant. I'm sure it's a medical issue with her or him or both. Maybe he got a secret vasectomy after his 3rd child. They should just adopt already. I read that Lucy & Desi had trouble conceiving too. Desi's mother told them to get remarried in a church then later Lucy got pregnant. Too bad JLo and Marc can't do that.

How old is she? She's always talking about wanting a baby - what is she waiting for? Before you know it, she's going to be too old. These celebrities should stop talking about wanting a baby in the future...for one thing, it's none of our business and 2nd she's going to have paps following her constantly and then announcing that she's pregnant when she's not (like she's at a children store, she must be pregnant, oooh is that a baby bump we see, she's glowing she's pregnant, she's wearing a hat to cover the grays b/c she's pregnant etc)....and I'm sure she's getting annoyed by it - but it's her own fault, she shouldn't have expose her private life so much.

She's an idot has been Says:
First of all she says this same line with each guy she is with. What is she going to say, I suffocated Ben and he dumped me and I married this greasy skeletor man because no one else wanted my used up stank A$$.

I agree with Anoymous TX 7:21 about her saying she's in a better place in each relationship. I've been a faithful reader to People's magazine for 20 years and during those 20 years. She always make similar quotes about the best guy etc in that relationship.
I've seen her much more happier with Ben rather with Marc. I thought she was a fool for leaving Chris. Chris seemed like a solid guy.
I am glad Ben got Jennifer Garner. I think JLo can do better than this Marc guy. Heard Marc is a womanizer during his marriage with Daynora.

OMG, I can't stand that Jennifer Garner HO either. First she has this sweet as anything husband Scott Foley, screws around on him with Michael Vartan, rips Vartan's heart out for loser boy (but richer and more famous boy) smelly scant man-ho Ben Affleck. What I don't understand is why this scant keeps getting work?? None of her movies did anything, the only reason she looked ok on Alias was because of the TONS of make up and hair they slathered on her.
She is just a scant ho and I would really appreciate it if someone could PLEASE explain to me why Michael Vartan still loves her and why anyone gives her work???!!!

YES! FINALLY! A TRUE STAR IN US!!! Jennifer Lopez IS and WILL ALWAYS BE A TRUE STAR! Jennifer is made of the STUFF that Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, Katherine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, and Sophia Loren had that is true STAR QUALITY. And for those of you that are so hot and bothered--okay, so, she is Puerto Rican, so she is curvey, but let's be honest....the girl has talent, smarts, and substance. She has a man that loves her, and yeah--she is in a better place. You can tell by her glow! Go to Hollywood today and TRY to become an actress! She not only conquered dance, music, television, and movies--but she is a business woman too. Perfume, clothes, etc. Ha, now all the other celebrity types are jumping on the road that she paved. So, you can have your skanky Parisite Hiltons, and your boo-hoo sorry Jen Anistons, and your crazy Britney and Lindsays....and the rest of intelligent people who really love the arts will GLADLY take Jennifer Lopez ANY DAY, ANY TIME. She is a true star, and will talked about 100 years from now. What she did, and has accomplished, is AMAZING.
AND--Jennifer being a total class act handled her conversation with Victoria Beckham quite well. I would have been insulted by her comments. GO JENNIFER! WE LOVE YOU, AND SUPPORT YOU 100%!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE REAL, TRUE STAR!!!

Marc is in charge. I think he's loved her for a long time, and won't let her go for anything. I also say she is so full of herself it's sad.

"Children of Men" is actually a really great movie. You should give it a try before judging it.

Do you really think he runs the show? I could see it the other way around - he looks so mouse-y!! He should thank his lucky stars she settled for him.

Each time JLo gets in a relationship, she always said she's in a better place. She keeps repeating herself. I get the sense that Marc doesn't want more children. He prefers to keep JLo all to himself and for her to keep that maxim figure. Basically, he runs the show in that marriage.

Remind me to skip THAT movie. Yeah..like the human race is going to be extinct any time soon. Can anyone say OVER POPULATION.
J-HO is a stupid tramp. She always acts like 'oh I remember where I came from'..but she is such a total snob. I love laughing at her jumping around as a "fly girl" on reruns of In Living Color.

LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!! I am so glad she is happy - she is beautiful and talents and successful in everything she does.
I am sorry that stupid Ben Affleck hurt her, but he got his - squinty eyed Jen Garner trapped him by getting preggers. Those two are a BORING COUPLE!!!!

I would hardly call Jennifer Garner a real woman. She is just as much scum as Jennifer. She was married to a great guy and cheated on him with Vartan (her co-star) then she dumped Vartan for Ben Affleck (her co-star). I guess we can safely say that Ben Affleck is attracted to scum. :)

You again?? What do you go from thread to thread just to find my posts to comment on them? That is really pathetic. I wasn't even responding to you! I wasn't being defensive...just a sarcastic snip...do I need to run my comments by you for approval? No...why don't you go get your hard on off on someone else. There are many other posts I'm sure you can wrap yourself around.
