OMG, $1000 cream for body!!!

23 years ago

Unbelievable! I watched "J. Lo Fabulous Life" on VH1 few nights ago and my gosh, what an extravaganza life. She uses Creme de la Mer which costs $1,000 for 16 oz size all over her body. 16 oz cream will last for 2 weeks max, I guess, so $2,000 body cream for a month. Did anybody watch this show? Her other expenses that I remember are:

- crystal therapy

- Eye brow wax by Anastasia. The lady is willingly cancel her 60 appointments for a day just to wax her. Money sure talks! She said J. Lo is very generous.

- $75,000 for a nude picture given to Ben Affleck.

- $15,000 haircut for her wedding to Chris Judd

- 4 or 5 luxury cars

- 2 personal chefs

- 10-15 real fur coats

- her lingerie

The most ridiculous thing is she hired someone to tweak her nipples so they were perky for her video taping!! Here I am, trying very hard to cover them so they won't show under my shirts!

Another note, no need to guess what makeup she has on, all are custom made by her makeup artist.

Now I'm glad I didn't buy her perfume, she sure doesn't need my money.

Hah hah hah... I find that $15,000 haircut funny as lleh... I wonder how much she will pay when she marries poor Ben? I trim my OWN hair and I like my hair better than hers... bleah...

Re: nipple tweaking... I never knew this process existed... what is she going to do when Ben gets her pregnant and her tweaky nipples are leaking milk everywhere?

(I do not like Jennifer Lopez, can you tell?)

I'm with ya Jan. Those poor cows need to be relieved of the weight in their udders... the more quickly, cleanly and efficiently, the better. Tisha, your point that it's ridiculous to tout the alleged health benefits of fake and bake tanning is well-received here. There are no benefits beyond vanity... and even then, I consider it a mis-guided esthetic. The thought of me visiting a tanning booth is laughable. I don't tan --- I pinken. Plus, as fair as I am, I was on pins and needles when that weird bit of flesh in my decolletage had to be biopsied last month. Why exacerbate it? Whom am I going to impress? Besides, "peaches and cream" (and SPF 45) was plenty good enough to attract Steve in the first place. And having had skin cancers removed himself, he's the last to buy the myth of the "healthy" tan... As for vitamin D... we're in the season where I can get plenty enough by doing a 15 minute walk around the yard while drinking coffee and pulling a few weeds every morning.

Found the article. The author was from England which probably explains the left hand theory. From the story: My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked hotel and theater lobbies, airports, shopping centers, restaurants. We're straight now, but this crime is worldwide. Here's how to protect yourself: Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handbags, jewelry and money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair game. My preferred target was the lone female, handbag dangling at her side - the right side to be exact, so if I'm next to her I can reach it discreetly with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Most dippers work with a "staller," almost always a woman. She stands to the victim's right. The timing is crucial. As I move in from behind, the staller casually takes a half step closer to the target and moves her left hand - the one nearest the victim - so that her elbow juts out above the handbag, obscuring it from the victim's view, security cameras or store detectives. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket, as there isn't a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. My pet peeve was the handbag with a clasp on the side and a zipper underneath. They take twice as long to do - about five seconds. Worse still are women who keep their wallets in an inside zipped pocket. And a new bag, especially one made of leather, is much stiffer, making it harder to open without the owner feeling it. Toughest of all is the fanny pack, because it's worn at the front. A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and preoccupied. The perfect setting is a clothing store. Customers bustle among the racks, completely distracted as they hold up items. The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better. False reassurance makes a pickpocket's job much simpler. Women should check that their bags are closed and held in front of them or under their arms. Men should keep a hand on their wallets. Then the article goes on to say how he got caught and was sentenced to seven years in jail. Reader's Digest

Lyban - you are welcome! I also use the the body Buf Puf for exfoliation. The routine totally changed my skin from scaly gator to soft and healthy. This time of year, I sometimes leave off the lotion. I hope this helps. :-)

The mosquitos...omg.

Well, I set up the trap. It says to empty it once a week. I checked it after three days and it was disgustingly full. I have to cover myself with deet and also use a organic product. I was trying to put down wood chips and got bit in places I must have missed (between my fingers, the palm of my hand, my butt, my scalp!). I was wearing long sleeves and jeans and the suckers bit me through the clothing. The trap directions say it takes about two weeks to begin noticing a difference. I know it caught tons of them, but there are so many. Its been so hot that I sweat and think it washes off my skin and I get bit. I never got bit before on the palm of my hand and fingers. Lets not even get into how one bit me on the butt! So, now when I work in the yard, I wear mosquito netting. I look so weird like a bee keeper or something. But, dam, I've had it! Jane

ROTFL. You ladies are so funny. If I didn't see the guy tweaked her nipples on that TV screen, I would say this was bull. I'm wondering though why not just asked Ben do that.

One of the guy (I think an owner of a shop) said since J.Lo and BA have been an item, her spending goes more insane. Whenever BA bought her something, she bought him something to match the price of his gift. Are they competing or what?

Is it luck, talent or marketing genius? All her business are making tons of money. Waiting list for 2 weeks to get into her restaurant, her movies, her CDs, her perfume. Men goes crazy with her perfume, I don't like it so much, too soapy. Now I heard she has her clothing line coming out.

"Jenny from the block", huh, that's a crap.

I can't stand her. Maybe it's just me (obviously), but what is so great about this chick?

Only a total fool will do this type of stuff and I don't care how much money they have. You can look for her in the suicide pages when she adds a few more years and pounds because she won't be able to stand to look at herself. And what man is going to put up with her for long no matter how great she looks?

Frankly, I dont see how someone going on there third marriage at a young age, with a few VERY BREIF marriages and publicized romances behind her could be talking about going down the aisle again so soon. I think if she loved herself on the inside as much as the outside, she would take the time to do some soul searching instead of diving heard first into another serious commitment, so that she could find herself and a way to attain a peaceful and long term happiness. Instead, she seeks short term thrills in $15,000 haircuts and $1,000 body cream.

Quite seriously, I think she is messed up.

I think she is a beautiful girl, and she has done some good for those of us who aren't beanpoles, but I think that what the media rib her for as 'diva' behaviour is actually something much more serious.

I don't think she knows what she wants, and because she has a lot of money, she thinks she can just buy whatever she wants.

As we all know, money doesn't buy you happiness, or a guy who truly loves you and sadly, I think Devon is right. She's got some serious issues within herself, which, until she sorts those out, she'll never be content inside and will be on to number 4 before we know it.

No amount of Creme de la Mer or $15k haircuts makes a woman happy, not really.

I think I actually feel sorry for her...

Yeah, I guess I feel sorry for her because she's so dumb..or because she's getting ripped off! Just turn the thermostat down to 50 degrees and you'll have all the tweaked nipples you can possibly ask for! Although I did like your answer, darkeyedgirl. *giggle*

What a moron. Although she alone could be responsible for keeping our economy going...She needs to read Paula's book to find out that that body cream doesn't do cr*p! Who knows the beauty secrets now, huh? : >

i personally think she is beautiful and if i had her money i would spend it silly too lets face it she has way more than she needs its no worse that celine dion or however you spell it buliding a house with at 3500 sq. ft closet now that is one girl who canNOT sing. J LO can not only sing , she is soooooooo pretty i say its her money let spend it

I dont think anyone implied that she doesnt have right to spend it how she wishes. Personally, I could never justify some of the above costs while there are those without food and shelter. Im one for pampering yourself, but thats too extreme for me, and as I said before I think shes going to that extreme to fill a void elsewhere in her life. I think shes the poster child of a lost soul with all the signs we of her crumbling relationships and so forth. I wouldnt be surprised if she pulled a Marilyn Monroe on us, though I surely hope she doesnt. I do enjoy alot of her music, though I dont agree that shes very talented in the way of singing. Not a bad actress though.

Wow, I never listen to Celine but I defintely think she can sing. Oh well, that's not the point. Although I don't really considering "rapping" singing (a la J Ho)

I wonder if there are any "frugal" stars out there, who would rather get more for their money or not just spend it to spend it because they think SO incredibly highly of themselves. Probably not.

Sigh... it's sad to see this stuff. Sad to think of the waste and unnecessary pain when someone does this out of a need to be special, then ends up owing the IRS millions or in bankrupcy court. Hopefully, she will grow out of it quickly.

Maybe I'm naive, but what the heck is tweaking nipples? I'm assuming it involves plastic surgery, since it's in the $$$ spent category....

rider-tweaking your nipples is when you, um, pinch them to make them perky.

Not particularly something I think I'd want to pay someone to do...In fact, I get embarassed if they're noticably perky!

funny- our society seems to prefer girls that need thousands of dollars of 'perfecting' to girls who are simply radient on their own- oh, that's it. radience doesn't show up on film. we're not looking at people- we're looking at works of art.

OMG, $1000 cream for body!!!
