We did find it awfully suspicious that an injured foot would keep Jennifer Lopez away from the tents at Bryant Park but not from competing in a triathlon. Mostly because one tends to find it difficult to go on about what a wonderful, naturally-conceiving mother one is while running or swimming, but not while being televised. Now, rumor has it that Jennifer backed out of hosting the final runway show for “Project Runway” because of a personal tiff with producer Harvey Weinstein.

One of the rumors swirling around Lopez’s sudden injury is that she had no beef with “Project Runway,” but instead was angry with The Weinstein Company, which produces the reality show.

“Jennifer was hoping for a part in an upcoming Weinstein film, and she was told the day before (the ‘Project Runway’ show) that she wasn’t getting it,” the source says. “She was angry, so she pulled out.”

Jennifer’s rep, of course, was all like, “Oh my God you guys! Haha. No way my client is a selfish, entitled brat. Haha, sob:”

Lopez’s rep, Leslie Sloane, denied the rumors, saying “(Lopez) pulled out (of “Runway”) because she had an injury and had to have it rehabbed so she could compete (in the triathlon).” She went on to say “(Lopez) has no issues with Harvey (Weinstein).”

“Project Runway” host Heidi Klum was apparently so upset with J-Lo for cancelling last-minute that she skipped out on Marc Anthony’s party this past weekend. Which is too bad, because we hear they served wool of bat, and tongue of dog, adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting, lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing. Delish!
