Jennifer Lopez Celebrates Women’s Curves Assets on New Anthem ‘Big Booty’

 

After years of being celebrated for having one of the best physiques in entertainment, Jennifer Lopez has finally made a song about one of her most famous assets: Her butt.

“Big Booty” was one of the six songs the American Idol judge previewed Friday at a listening session at Nikita Malibua for her still untitled 10th album due out on June 17. When she first heard the song produced by Diplo, she did not want to record it. But Chris Brown and her 6-year-old twins, Max and Emme, helped her change her mind.
Brown, who wrote other songs for the album and was in the studio when J.Lo first heard “Big Booty,” got excited when she was presented with the track. “‘This is the kind of song I want to hear J.Lo do,’” she recalls of Brown’s reaction.
Lopez gave the record some thought and agreed to record it if she wasn’t the focus. She wanted to instead make a fun anthem for women. The song’s chorus includes the lyrics, “Big big booty, she got a big booty,” and features a verse from Pitbull, whose 2004 breakthrough hit “Culo” also celebrates curvy women.
Even after recording “Big Booty,” J.Lo wasn’t convinced to keep the record until she received the approval of her children. “I was in the car with the twins and they were like ‘Big big booty, she got a big booty,’ and I saw that it was just a fun record.”
“Big Booty” was the most upbeat of the new songs previewed. The album’s second single, “First Love,” produced by Max Martin, is a booming, midtempo about finally finding true love. The Chris Brown and Chantal Kreviazuk-penned “Emotions” is an airy ballad about, again, the search for real love. In “Acting Like That,” produced by Rockstar, Lopez offers a bitter breakup song boasting a slow, stuttering beat.
Lopez also played two more ballads, the moody and sexy “Never Satisfied” and Spanish guitar track “Let It Be,” produced by Harmony Samuels.
Lopez said she sings about love from a genuine place on her album, comparing the perspective of her past records to fairytales. She said her new point of view is inspired by “becoming a mom and all the things I went through over the last few years.”
On March 11, Lopez released the song “I Luv Ya Papi” featuring French Montana, and released a remix featuring Montana, DJ Khaled, Big Sean and Tyga on Monday.

Rosie Perez Slams Jennifer Lopez in New Memoir: She “Went Off” Like “Some Ghetto Biatch”

Fly Girl Feud! Brooklyn native Rosie Perez has some scandalous secrets to share about Jenny From the Block. In her tell-all memoir, Handbook for an Unpredictable Life, Perez, 49, opens up about her on-going feud with Bronx native Jennifer Lopez, 44.
The New York Post pulled out excerpts from the book, which hits stands on Feb. 25, noting Perez’s recollection of her days on In Living Color with Lopez.
The two met in 1991 during the open casting call for the show’s Fly Girl dancers. Perez was the show’s famed Fly Girl choreographer and claims that she was the one who convinced host and creator Keenan Ivory Wayans to pick Lopez.
Though the American Idol judge has credited Wayans with discovering her, Perez claims he thought she was “chubby and corny” and that she, in fact, was the one to encourage the hire.
But in a 2010 VH1′s Behind the Music episode about JLo, Wayans claimed to have known about Lopez’s star potential from the start.
“I’d been there hours and seen every dancer in New York, and then this young girl steps up and a spotlight landed on her and she captivated everyone in the room,” Wayans recalled in the episode.
“He just saw something in me,” Lopez confirmed. “He would always tell me, ‘You’re going to be a big star.’”
Making her debut in September 1991, the future pop diva didn’t immediately connect with her fellow dancers.
“All of the girls were coming into my office complaining how she was manipulating wardrobe, makeup, and me, all to her advantage,” Perez wrote in her memoir, saying Lopez thought the girls were just “jealous.”
She then went on to say that the Grammy winner dropped her “sweet girl act” and “went off” on Perez like “some ghetto biatch, screaming and pounding her chest.”
Perez claims Lopez shouted, “You pick on me, me and only me, every f**king day! Every f**king day! I work my ass off, deliver and you keep pushing me aside, treating me like s**t! I know I’m good! I’m better than any of these girls, and you know it.”
And though the singer left the show after two seasons to pursue her acting career, Perez claims she continued to make “disparaging comments” about her in Hollywood. After being hurt by the alleged comments, Perez was surprised when Lopez was friendly to her at a night club years later.
“Jennifer came over to me, smiling, saying hello as if nothing had happened. I should’ve let it go, played it off, too. Instead, I killed her with my biting tongue,” Perez writes without elaborating.
