Jennifer Lopez Pisses Off Her Label

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is pissing off her record label because she is way too expensive to take care of and doesn’t really make any money for the label.

“She costs too much money and doesn’t sell enough,” says a source. “Her last album cover alone cost $60,000 in hair and makeup, lighting, photographers, re-touching, etc. The video budget was in the neighborhood of $300,000.”

That’s only for the album, then she has the performances promoting the album such as appearances on “Good Morning America.”

“Epic had to eat the cost for that entire performance. From her makeup — which typically costs in the neighborhood of $8,000 per day — to the backup singers, to the rigging, lighting and sound.”

Lopez’s album “Brave” didn’t even hit the top 10 Billboard’s charts and it sold a measly 53,000 copies the first week it was released in October. Needless to say, her label is really not making money on Lopez.

On a side note, her makeup costs $8000 a day? Is her eye shadow made out of gold? That’s just ridiculous!!

this doesn't surprise me at all. i've wondered why her label has kept her on as long as they have to begin with. she really isn't that great.

She is and always has been a mediocre singer. I admire a husband that would encourage his successful wife to step out of her comfort zone and take on new challenges, weather she succeeds or not.

To call her " a mediocre singer" like wiwi does's to insult mediocre singers - she's past overrated.Big con - circus more like.

she hasn't changed with the times. the consumer wants an artist to evolve. her "Brave" album would have done well in the late '90s, but not anymore. just doesnt cut it.

this no talent non-singer shouldn't have even had a record deal in the first place.

She is not that good of a singer anyway, but to pay 8000 dollars for makeup I thought she was beautiful, so why so much makeup, and she better get with the african american artist that is when her music sold.

She should do everyone a favor and take her sorry butt out of this country and go live in Syberia or somewhere. The U.S. has had enough of her crap.

She can't sing. There's so many far more talented singers, songwriters and musicians out there that don't require as much money to get one's attention. In the end talent will out. But no talent doesn't go far.

Jennifer Lopez does not look Mexican. She is Puerto Rican-Descent. I moslty see Mexicans in L.A. I see a few Puerto Ricans in L.A. I can Mexican and Puerto Rican look different from each other.

Jennifer Lopez will continue to sell cd's.

Hello,,,,, Well I think that JLo is okay. But she is too consided and thats makes her look fake. However the only reason why she looks pretty is because she uses too much makeup. Also she has been around the oval, and then she had it made with Ben. Yeah stupid mistake!!!! So she went with scroney Anthony.. Well they do fit good together because he left Diyanar!!!! Anyways, I still believe that they both will get theirs.
