And why should we care about her? She is obviously quite disconnected from reality.

Jennifer Lopez can't possibly be that stupid not to realize what an amazing accomplishment Michael Phelps's performance was. Has she lived under a rock during this past week? Seriously, NO ONE has ever won 8 gold medals in a single Olympics. EVER!!! Michael Phelps makes all of us here in Baltimore proud. All Americans-with the possible exception of a self absorbed, conceited future triathlete mother of twins realize what he did. Read a paper, Jen. Watch the news. Watch ESPN. Or the Today show. Just get a freakin' clue!

    I never respond to any of this, but I cannot pass up this opportunity. Are you kidding me? You have to be. She is equating her physique and training with Michael Phelp's? Get over yourself Jennifer.

    umm Lopez, if you don't know who Phelps is I'd have to question your nationality..lol Wow is this chick that disconnected that she honestly doesn't know? I'd have to think she owns at least one tv. I really don't care what your doing and won't be watching whatever your training for, oh and hey catch up on reality while your treadmillin it.

        When I read her comments about "that swimmer", I took it as her attempting to be funny. I didn't take it as her being serious. She can't possibly be serious, right?
        What I found shocking about the article was that Malaysia thinks Avril is too sexy. I'm lost on that one. I take it that Shakira has never done a concert there.

              Let's see--Micheal Phelps is a professional athlete and he accomplished something very amazing by winning 8 gold medals and everyone is talking about it because it's impressive. JLo is....well let's say she's an actress and she has accomplished....several piss poor movies....and nobody is talking about her because she's really not very good. Not much more to add me thinks....

                Let's see what the difference is.................. Michael Phelps doesn't wear a shirt? Maybe she should give it a try.

                      I read this in total disbelief and I usually don't read anything pertaining to hollywood as most of them are self absorbed jack a$$es who do nothing more than to pretend to be something there not.
                      As for this twit (j-low) who said Michael who...what have you done ever to make Americans proud? this man accomplished something that has never been done in the history of the Olympics. Lets see you've done....???

                          I was in total disbelief about this. She is just an average person who happens to be famous because of her round bottom and b-rate movies. She honestly thinks that her training for a triathlon should be more of a story because she's famous, just goes to show that she fits the stereotypical superstar status...ATTENTION HOG. What about the common folk, apparently we're not good enough for that bia, or she is better than all of us. "That swimmer"...please J. Lo, get off your high horse and stop thinking your better than the rest of the world. I totally lost ALL respect for you as a human being and I will not even pledge a DIME for your cause, as you have disgraced your "SACRED" name...hahahahahaha, CLASSIC. You are now in the same ranks as Brittany Spears in my eyes.

                              Being a mother is a great accomplishment. Winning 8 Golds in the Olympics is a big accomplishment. Neither should negate the other. But if J-LO cannot concede to Phelps victory and NOT acknowledge him, then I hope her next record dives. And by record, I don't mean winning a mini-tri in Malibu-boo-hoo.

                                If her next album does dive then it wouldn't be the first. Her last album did very poorly and when the awards show, grammys?, let her and her anorexic husband do a duet....we all fell asleep.

                                  That swimmer? She can't be serious. Is she so self-absorbed that she can't pick up a newspaper or watch the news? Come on, his is a wonderful positive story that encompasses every lesson our parents, teacher have ever told us about working hard and being able to achieve our dreams. She has hit an all time low!!

                                    if Jennifer really said that then she is a flaming idiot, another celebrity completely full of themselves and out of touch with reality. I guess there's a reason someone as beautiful as she is has been divorced twice.
                                    Another classic example of all frosting and no cake. C'mon Jennifer, don't be so stupid!

                                        Who really cares about these D--- A-- Celebrities and what they are doing , people ned to get a life and worry about themselves. All I can say is J-Lo STFU. The Olympic are much more important that any actor.

                                          I am a proud Baltimore girl who just can't say enough nice things about the entire Phelps family. This is not just about a swimmer who incredibly won 8 gold medals he also has family values that should be celebrated through out the country. If J-LO can take a moment to look away from her magic mirror maybe she can learn something about family.

                                            Who cares about this "thing". She's an friggin actress....gee, thats a tough way to make a living. read something, memorize it and act it out.Nice work if you can get it but most people are a little smarter than that and want real jobs where they have to actually think... don't 8 year olds do that in school plays without making any money.
