How convenient indeed. Well you can bet she won't get any editorial spreads over at Marie Claire any time soon.

That's pretty amazing, with a foot injury and all.

I'da rather Tim, anyway.

"Hmm. How convenient."

Ahh, triathalons: It's the new golf! Personally, I'd rather be really good at one sport than half-assed (or is that 1/3 assed?) at three.

Ankle injury or not, I know I could beat J Lo's badonk-a-donk on a bike. AND STILL be able to give the designers what for in a fashion competition.

Ya know, there's being a diva, in the classic sense, and then there's just being an overindulged celebrity.

Oh well, now I'm just wondering if Tim will put his bitchpants on during the judging.... Ahh, the anticipation!

Triathalons are like athletic Turducken.

The way the whole thing was handled by her or her "people" was just unprofessional and disrespectful.

I loath this woman, dude. I'm SO glad she wasn't the finale judge or it would ruin it for me.

She's a joke of human being, IMO.

What a b****. On the other hand, I'd rather have Tim than her as a judge any day.

Wow. There just aren't words.

Verrrrry convenient.

I don't get it--why couldn't she judge? Although the truth is, I'd rather have Tim as a judge.

Right? What a phony.

Absolutely thrilled to have Tim as a judge instead, and wow, I can't wait to see what the repercussions of this bullshit dis will be! That takes some seriously out-of-touch thinking to alienate not just the people involved with PR production, but also the loyal fans.

I'm glad she had a "foot injury" because I didn't want her as judge.... but why did she agree to begin with, knowing that both events would be in the same weekend? I guess it was just to get the Elle spread, and all the free publicity from her anticipated "appearance" in the show... oh, she is a total diva.... I really dislike her!!!! I'm pissed she even got considered and then she got all the praise from the judges (remember Nina saying "we'll have a fashion icon, blah blah blah)
aarggggg.....

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!

Wow, just think how much more PISSED OFF Heidi must be now that pictures of JLo competing in a Triathlon are printed just a couple of days after Heidi announced that JLo had an "injury" that would not allow her to participate in the finale judging. Talk about public bitch slap.

Although I'm no fan of celebrity judges, and personally could never stand JLo, it still is a big blow to the show that such an A-list celebrity (if D-list talent) snubbed them in such a fashion. And I have to admit that it also turns the final episode into something of a non-event, since everyone seems so certain that Leanne is going to win. Not the climax to the troubled fifth season that the producers were hoping for, I think.

Anonymous 12:06 asked: I don't get it--why couldn't she judge? Although the truth is, I'd rather have Tim as a judge.

Rumor has it, (and I'm sourcing this from something I saw on Jezebel) that it has to do with a part she wanted in a Weinstein film that she didn't get.

Very curious. And completely unprofessional.

I think that she used PR as a publicity stunt. No one cared about her triathalon before--but coupled with a no-show at Bryant Park, her accomplishment is getting more attention than it deserved.

-laydlo

WTH?!?!?

Just another reason to justify my dislike of her.

And yes, I agree, I MUCH prefer Tim.

And the funny thing is, it's a baby triathalon, not the full-on Ironman kind. If it were the real deal, I may be a bit more understanding and consider it more of a true accomplishment.

Pure publicity stunt, even if it was for charity, and truly unprofessional if this no-show was all about not getting a movie role. Fine by me, because I don't think she can act either.

I'm with patsy stone: bunions, hideous bunions wished upon her....

I glad she isn't judging the finale. And the triathalon was for charity. So I guess I don't reallly care.

Can JLo be more up herself??

I mean - GOD - yes, I get it, JLo, you ran a bloody triathlon. And you've just had twins. That is fantastic. GREAT for you. But I also happen to know 3 other women who have done the exact same thing. With much less fanfare.

And yes, JLo, I KNOW, you don't know WHY everyone is all up with that Michael Phelps who just HAPPENS to have won EIGHT gold medals. But yes, go you, you did a triathlon. Single. Not plural. But still. "Fab".

SIGH. Please JLo - get over yourself. And the next time you call in sick to work? Don't go run a triathlon the same weekend. It's kinda dumb. Unless you have the hideous bunions Patsey Stone wished on you. =)

Whatever. I'd rather have Big Daddy Gunn as judge anyways. =)

AND the Fug Girls have done it again!

HAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!

oh crap, that link didn't post right...

here the Fug Girls page - you can't miss the JLo post =)

It will be interesting too, if they show any disageement amoungst the judges during the deliberation. Frequently Tim disagrees with the judges decisions on his blog. I usually agree with his assessments, but on the other hand the advice he gave in his book and on his own show was rather dull and pedestrian, blend into the woodwork and be as inoffensive as possible stuff.

that was a pretty low blow by Jlo. Heidi has reason to be pissed.

Sorry Jenny, you aren't all that.

I never had an issue with her before, but after this stunt I definitely have a lower opinion of her.

At least the triathlon was for charity. But I don't believe the foot injury excuse for a second.

"A source close to "Runway" host Heidi Klum says that Klum was furious that Lopez pulled out."


Did you guys read that Tlo posted on the front page?

I don't blame Heidi. What a shitty thing to do.

Oh no, she dinit! You don't go burning bridges when your career is for all intents and purposes over. I hope she was smart enough to invest wisely as she will not be welcome at many A-list parties to promote her non-selling clothes, music and films.

how do you say cunt in spanish?

well...jlo...that's what you are...for sure

I'm voting for the pissed at Weinstein because she didn't get a part theory. From everything I've ever heard about her, J Lo is sufficiently driven that she'd have hopped all the way to Bryant Park on her injured foot, ankle, whatever (they can't even get their story straight) if she wanted to be there.

I'm glad Tim finally gets to be a judge but I don't like the last-minute, Plan B aspect of it.

Whatever.....

SO much better to have Tim judging!!

Can't wait!!

Auntie L

I'm with rainwood; JLo is too career oriented and manipulative to let a little ankle injury stop her from getting major media exposure. Posh Spice would have faced pneumonia, a body cast, and a blizzard and still would have made it to Bryant Park.

i am glad she dropped out. Tim is a much better judge.

LOLOLOLL!!!

Thanks,Carol, for that link!

It was hilarious!

~laydlo

She really did us all a favor though, didn't she?

Who would you rather see talking about the final collections; Tim, who actually know what he's talking about, of JLo, who needs a stylist to get dressed??

And according to someone I know, who knows, JLo is known for this type of behavior (ie; not showing up to committments).

"stephani said: Rumor has it, (and I'm sourcing this from something I saw on Jezebel)"



Were the Jezebelians actually sober when they posted it?

--GothamTomato

What kind of ankle injury makes it too painful to sit on your ass to judge a fashion show but doesn't cause enough pain to prevent you from completing a triathlon? She was useless to me before and remains useless to me now.

Even worse. She WAS at Bryant Park. She walked in with Victoria Beckham, whose new pixie do got more attention than any of JLo's ass...ets.

Perhaps that was the thing that set her off. But there she was in the first row. Wearing white, if I'm not mistaken. So at some point, between the show itself and the filming of the judging (same day, if I'm not mistaken) she suffered her "injury."

And Posh couldn't sit in a second time? This season has been the season of "Plan B."

I like Tim better anyway. He's cooler than she is.

I agree, we're lucky we're going
to have More Tim!

twat.

Brilliant! and correct-- plus that body cast would have had her plasto-melons bulging in all their glory.

Jenny, you're a Diva-disgrace. Turn in your tiara tout-de-suite!

I have disliked her ever since she was engaged to Ben Afflec. This was brought on by a previous boyfriend who was watching a Yankees/Red Sox game. Baseball politics aside, he was pissed that she was wearing a Red Sox cap. Jenny from the block lives around the block from the Yankees. Way to piss off you homey's.

your homey's, not you homey's

Also, I'd like to add that although the triathlon was for charity, JLo released a statement saying they'd raised $125,000. As a biomedical researcher, I can tell you that $125,000 is peanuts. And with her millions, THAT is all she could do?

How convenient?

How STUPID!

I used to be neutral on here but NO ONE and I mean NO ONE disses Project Runway, our Gay boys and Tim Gunn.

Jennifer, you're aut. Snap!

neutral on "HER" not "HERE".

I'm never neutral on here...thank GOD, a place I can be purely opinionated whether it makes any sense or not!

Like juju I would much rather see Tim!

Good Riddance!

When Jlo does the Ironman in Hawaii maybe I'll give a crap about her. I'm just sorry she supposedly represents us Latina women. Ugh! Classless all the way. In the end I'd rather have Tim Gunn any day of the week than celebrity idiot trying to espouse why they think they know fashion.

I don't know what you all are thinking, but I think someone would use an excuse to get OUT of the triathalon rather then the judging. These things happen. Also, it's for charity, for christ's sake. You are mad at her because she raising money for a hospital or something???

wtf?

truth be told, Tim was such a better choice. And fellas, please find out from Tim how he felt about judging. He's been very open in the past about thinking he'd be a very bad judge because he's been in the workroom etc.

Thanks!!

JLo is a b****!

I've never been a huge fan of hers but I can tell you she is dead to me now. Blech, she is awful!!!

Did Posh know JLo had bailed on PR, I wonder? Oh Pish! I love the big Gunn, so who cares?

Dead. To. Me.

impressive time? sorry, but impressive would be under an hour and a half. most sprint triathlons shouldn't last that long.

Lola, get off your high horsie. Even a 'baby' triathlon as you call it, takes a lot of stamina and guts. The way you put it sounds like the only triathlon you participate in is watching PR, Shear Genius, and Rachel Zoe on Bravo. Give her some credit, its a tough thing to do if you're not used to it.

suzq said,And Posh couldn't sit in a second time?

Well, thank god she didn't! Not after last season's travesty.

I'd much rather have Tim as a judge and I'm very happy for the charity dollars JLo raised. But, the woman was incredibly stupid to burn her bridges by pulling out the night before the way she did and leaving them in the lurch. Extremely unprofessional behavior and then to so blatantly lie about it. Really dumb.

I can't believe Elle and PR fell for this chick! She gets the magazine cover and a great spread out of it and puts in no work or committment to the show. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but that was the only/primary reason they put her on right?!

==================================

What happened? Did Harvey and the boys pull the plug on Enough: 2?

I bet all the designers were heartbroken.

"But, I so wanted to be judged by J Lo's ankle."

Tim has more taste in his ankle than she has in her entire body.
