Jesus I wonder who she actually liked peer wise.

It appears her only famous friend is Leah Remini.

I remember a story about some Versace party where other guests included Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow. Apparently, as soon as Jlo walked in, they all got up to leave.

Her ego is definitely legendary. The talent she boasts of isn't. That whole post-Gigi era really served her humble pie.

[trueloveisrarex]

she's just never been likeable huh lmao

[frejasface]

She kind of cops to being a brat, but also says she doesn't treat people below her like shit:

"Just because I know my strengths doesn't mean I have a huge ego. The one thing I cannot tolerate in Hollywood is this trickle effect of every single person--from the top with your studio guys--pissing on who-ever is below them. Nobody can say that I treat people like that ever. When it comes to my work, I am an ogre, because I want it to be so good.... But that's the only thing anyone can say about me."

[xtinkerbellax]

She says that, but is it true?

i agree with a lot of things she says here except the winona ryder slander (and also i love cameron diaz but she does kind of admit cameron is good)

[blahhhnata17]

Lol I agree with her too but yeah I love me some Winona Ryder

[lloyd_llewellyn]

that cameron dig couldn't be more accurate today. she could and should have done so much more.

tbh i found myself nodding at every thing she was saying but i draw the line at winona lol.

[jarellano89]

What should she have done? More goop like influencer stuff or more films?

[weighty_ghost]

I heard more about her and Brad Pitt than I ever heard about her work.

[tanglespiders]

It's like she set herself up for those messy turn-of-the-century relationships and Gigli. I love it.

[babs]

Holy shit lol great post, OP! Damn.

[frejasface]

old celebrity gossip is amazing.

[maidenhell]

I love this series. I really miss those old, uncensored, PR-not-present interviews that big-name celebrities did. Like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston with Dianne Sawyer, Britney with Matt Lauer, even that Charlie Sheen one from a few years back (where he talked of fucking hookers). It was such an interesting peek into who these people really are.

[jarellano89]

Yup. Everything is so sanitized and carefully planned. Its annoying as fuck.
