Los Angeles - Jennifer Lopez doesn’t care a bit when people comment on her curves. In fact, she wore a light gray-blue Grecian-influenced satin gown to the premiere of her new romantic comedy “Monster-in-Law” last Friday night in Westwood that showed off her body to anyone who was looking - and naturally, everyone was, including her husband Marc Anthony (in a complementary gray suit) and her co-stars Jane Fonda and Wanda Sykes.
As Lopez tells it, she likes having the womanly body she’s got, so much so that in the movie she’s willing to have jokes made about her shape and size.
“I think that since the beginning, since I’ve kind of come into the public eye, there’s always been something about that, where I’m not your kind of typical size three, very tall and thin type of actress. I think that’s always been a good positive message that I’ve been able to have been associated with which I’m very proud of,” Lopez says. “So I don’t mind making fun of myself. I like making fun of myself. I like making people laugh. So if it’s talking about where Jane Fonda called me ‘fat’ [in the film], I mean, she could. In a way, Jane Fonda, the workouts, the whole thing, she was always kind of like that.”
In the comedy, Fonda is a horrible mother, trying to keep her son (played by “Alias” hottie Michael Vartan) from marrying Lopez. The jokes about their difference in size fly fast and furious, but that’s just the way Lopez likes it.
“So she’s eating healthy and you see me eating extra cake, and you know I don’t need to eat extra cake. I just do in real life - and in the movie. So I think that it’s nice to poke fun at that and know that you can still be attractive and beautiful or whatever, no matter if you do eat the extra cake. So I think that it’s a positive thing.”
Lopez might not have felt so positive about the anti-fur protestors haranguing her from across the street of the gala premiere (her clothing line features a number of real fur designs), but she definitely didn’t show much concern for them as she walked the red carpet alongside a slew of celebrities who showed up to see her take on Fonda for laughs.
Hollywood females of every size, both super skinny and more rounded, came out in force, from Sally Field, Stockard Channing, Marg Helgenberger, Jacqueline Bisset, and Elaine Stritch to Alyssa Milano, Annie Parisse, Sofia Milos, and even ice skating champ Oksana Baiul. No one was actually wearing fur, but who wears a coat in Hollywood, anyway? The big fashion question of the night didn’t have anything to do with fur, but with why Randy Quaid showed up with his hair bleached blond and wearing a dress. But no one ever figured out that weird one.
