Jennifer Lopez Shows Some Skin in Marie Claire; Talks About Her Butt, Lady Gaga, and Ben Affleck

When she first started making her name in Hollywood, people paid more attention to Jennifer Lopez's rear than her career. And all these years later, the entertainer says she still doesn't quite understand all the fuss about her fanny.

"I was always very comfortable with who I was. Confident," Lopez tells the June issue of Marie Claire U.K., on sale Thursday. "I've never looked at myself [my body] in a negative way."

It doesn't hurt that the 40-year-old mother of 2-year-old twins Emme and Max has a body that most twentysomething women would kill for. Though she keeps fit by running and lifting weights, Lopez is much more laidback when it comes to her diet.

"Just like anybody I try to watch what I eat -- there's no big science to it, which is what sucks," "The Back-Up Plan" star tells the magazine. "One of the good tricks is to have a goal -- for me it may be getting in shape for a video shoot.

"The other is portion control. I love to eat everything and you pretty much can -- a little piece of something fattening is not going to kill you. It's when you eat the whole box that it's going to kill you. If you can learn to not eat till your stomach feels full and gross, then you can pretty much control your life in that area."

The former Fly Girl feels also tells the Marie Claire U.K. that marriage to singer Marc Anthony has given her a "kind of love with no question mark," and that she's still on cordial terms with former flames Ben Affleck and Sean "Diddy" Combs.

'Would I see a movie of Ben's? Sure! Why not?" she says. "And Sean -- I've run into him once or twice, with Marc, and it's always very friendly."

That diplomatic attitude extends to Lopez's take on younger female chart-toppers like Lady Gaga and Rihanna. "I love them all," she tells Marie Claire U.K. "Honestly."

All, right, all right, but since she's being honest, let's get back to that famous bottom. Is it true it was insured for millions of dollars?

"No!" Lopez clarifies. "Though I thought that story was funny. In fact, we traced that story, and that was a rumor that started in London."

Comfortable with who you was Jen? Then why do you often wear a fake butt? Everybody knows that's not your real butt. Some of us remember you from "In Living Color" and da ass was not there. Asses don't just grow while the rest of your body remains the same. As a matter of fact, you were bigger then with half the amount of butt. Go finger

Get over yourself missy. I doubt whether you compare to Jen. My dear mother passed 20 years ago.

@ Judy: You're = a contraction of you and are, i.e., "You're off-based in what you said to Dee. How can anyone be jealous of fakery and photoshopping?" Your = belonging to, i.e., "It is your mistake in trying to correct Dee's spelling, when you need to work on your grammar."

When you point a finger at someone remember that three are pointing straight back at you.

Can the reporter please ask Mrs. Lopez how many more movies she expects to make that almost invariably BOMB? I'd lke to hear her answer a REAL question which asks how she expects to stay famous after a few more lousy movies and her phoney singing "career" gets exposed as a high-tech farce. I will give her some credit though....she took no talent and average looks and made millions of dollars. I'm not sure that says more about her as being lucky or us the public, for being so foolish to convince a B-grade porno talent with a real moviestar.

I am sick of jlo and her trying to prop herself up. she can't sing, dance or make a good movie. she's a conceited person who thinks she's above all. look at her at the award shows always trying to show off her fat fake azz. what a loser. only marc anthony would date her. ben got suckered in but thank goodness he got a real woman with jen gardner. she gives back... does jlo ever give back? I've never seen her do charity events or get involved in helping others. this woman is a phony and i hope her ex hubby exposes her in his tell all book about the fat girl jenny from the bronx.

you people should get a life. this woman isnt thinking about you.
fake azz? really? have you saw her take it off? minorities arent built like stick figures. some have the body of a goddess without even trying. i agree with judy. you do come off as jealous and hateful.

why do you people waste energy making rude comments about people who are living better than you. in every way! how much debt do you have? hows that job going?

as for her being damaged because she was with a black man ( p diddy). like she would want you anyway. im laughing at you turning her down in your make believe world!

all you people are pathetic. get a life
