Jennifer Lopez has been fired by Epic/Sony music because her two recent singles, "Louboutins" and "Fresh Out of the Oven," were flops on the Billboard charts. While her people are claiming that it was a mutual decision not to re-sign, word is, Epic/Sony has realized we are at the end of The Jennifer Lopez Era. To that end, (and a big, beautiful end it is), let's take a look back at the highlights and lowlifes of her 13-year reign as the queen of...something bigger than all of us.
Though Jennifer had a small role in 1995's Mi Familia playing an immigrant grandmother, and she was a Fly Girl on the 90's comedy skit show, In Living Color, there's no doubt that 1997's biopic Selena, in which she played the title role of the slain Tejana singer, was her breakthrough. Or more likely, her ass's breakthrough. We'll never forget that lawnmower scene. Let's watch it again, shall we?
Jennifer's next album, JLo introduced the world to her now permanent nickname and introduced her to her second husband Cris Judd, a backup dancer on the set of the video for the single "Love Don't Cost A Thing." While the whole world knew poor Cris would never hold her interest, it was fun watching her eat him alive like the preying mantis that she is.

We knew things were bad when Jennifer Lopez was wearing a crazy outfit to jumpstart her career again and the ass was sagging. Also a warning sign: she wore the outfit again at a Super Bowl party performance in Miami in Febrary. In 13 years, we've never seen La Lo wear an outfit twice. It's simply not done. We should have known this was the beginning of the end.

Selena (1997)

1999 Jenny From The Block
In June of 1999, Jennifer's first album, On The 6, a reference to the subway line that runs from her birthplace in the Bronx to Manhattan, debuted at number 8 and began aggressively branding the singer as the glamorous, but humble, "Jenny from the block." This album featured 5 singles including, "If You Had My Love," "Let's Get Loud" and "Waiting For Tonight" which was a big, gay dance hit.Puff Daddy 1999 Club Shooting

Thank god for On The 6 because it gave Jennifer a chance to wear this to the 2000 Grammys:
2001 JLo & Cris Judd
Jennifer's next album, JLo introduced the world to her now permanent nickname and introduced her to her second husband Cris Judd, a backup dancer on the set of the video for the single "Love Don't Cost A Thing."

Sony/ Epic Fires Jennifer Lopez February 2010
Word came this week that Jennifer's label of 13 years, Sony/Epic, dropped her from their roster, delaying her upcoming album Love. With Sony/Epic afraid to gamble on JLo's sagging sales, it seems their love does cost a thing.JLo Signs With A New Mystery Label 2010
But, what's this? Billboard Magazine says she's already inked a deal to release Love this summer. No word yet on who signed her, but rumor has it, it could be Island Def Jam. Could the 2010's be the era of Jennifer as The Comeback Kid?What do you think?

ReplyDude, not sure if you know this but Beavis and Butthead sucked.
ReplyThat's because you were too young to have understood it. You were probably, like, about seven when it was on the air.
ReplyThat's assuming they even showed it in the Valley. lol
ReplyUh, no. They sucked.
ReplyI just really liked the Mr. Anderson character, because he reminds me of my dad -- old, conservative, very patriotic American, working class, calling everyone with longhair a hippie.
ReplyHeh heh heh, you said "sucked".
ReplyI was 8 when it started, 12 when it was canceled. Still doesn't change the fact that it sucked. Oh yeah, Ren & Stimpy also sucked.
ReplyWhat the hell is Ren and Stimpy? Some South Texan puppet duo? Like Punch and Judy?
ReplyYou don't know what Ren and Stimpy is? Man, just leave my site.
ReplyI just Googled it. Sorry, I was, like, in high school back when it was on the air. We cool.
ReplyActually she was only hot for 9 years her album in 05 rebirth was a complete flop and so was brave and como something una mujer. Everything since then has been a huge flop for her. She needs to give it up. She had her 15 minutes of fame and made enough money to never have to work ever again. I say enjoy what you had and take a permanent vacation.
ReplyYou've contradicted yourself. Was she hot for nine years, or did she only have fifteen minutes of fame?
Reply@dude Dude 15 minutes is an expression.
ReplyDude, it's an expression that's typically meant for those who are one-hit wonders, not someone who's appeared on celebrity rags for nearly twelve or so years. For example, the Taco Bell chihuahua had fifteen minutes of fame.
ReplyAlright Jackholes, she was hot until REBIRTH, that is true. After that she just tanked! Even The Gays were done with her. Curiously enough, this was when Skeletor entered the picture. I liked her first 3 records (not as whole records, just a few select songs) ... I just stopped liking her crappy music when she decided she was going to an R & B.Soul.Fuck Diva or whatever the hell she thought she was ... she should have stuck with dance/pop which are much more forgiving and for which her voice was suited for (WAITING FOR TONIGHT, PLAY, bitches!) Her songs just got worse and worse, I mean there's no need to mention the atrocities of GET RIGHT, DOING IT WELL & that annoying LOUBOUITON(sp?) ... I mean the fact that she didn't realize that that song was not catchy, but irritating, grating and annoying speaks volumes ... she just lost the little she had. I wonder if she would have been better off had she stuck to acting?! I mean everyone loved her in OUT OF SIGHT ... She diluted herself and her brand going bat shit crazy adding music, perfumes, fashion and all that other crap she got into ... At this point it feels like she just wanted money and not a career, she's always been going on and on about being an artist ... but she just couldn't back it up with that whole street/thug/ghetto hoochie mama shit she's been trying to pull ... she could have been the Puerto Rican Paulina Rubio, but it seems like she's ending like the Puerto Rican Thalia (her career is dead too right?) ... or she could have been the Puerto Rican Kylie Minogue (although she's not as talented or poised or pop savvy as Kylie), instead she's the Puerto Rican Paula Abdul ... She'll be reduced to working on TV or being a judge on some weird talent show in the next couple of years and she'll live off her former glory days ... it's sad for her career, but at least she can live off her $200 -$400 million dollar fortune ...
ReplyWhatever. She's just aesthetically pleasing to look at. Well, when she's wearing makeup, I mean.
ReplyI can't even begin to imagine the hell that it would be to be Skeletor, and to HAVE to LIVE to her face every time she plays a demo for you....and you have say "That sounds hot!". It's like answering the, does this make me look fat question.
Replyit's not a coinsidence everything began to suck after she married Skeletor n.He is after all the devil incarnate(you shouldn't have soid your soul to the devil Jlo)I think she's getting what she deserves after what she did to Ben Affleck.At least you can have Skeletor left.you can have that boney,pallid ,return of the zombies man all to yourself.
ReplyThank you guys her star power faded when rebirth came out.
ReplyYou know what will jump-start her career? That sex tape! :)
