Jennifer Lopez is always out and about, and that’s very much on purpose. But to what end?
Whitney Port, who rose to fame on reality series The Hills and The City, knows probably better than anyone what it’s like to pretend you aren’t being filmed/photographed when you are. And she wants to know why someone would bother setting up a whole faux-candid photo shoot when they’re already super famous. Specifically, why Jennifer Lopez is doing that.
In a recent episode of her podcast With Whit, which Port recorded with her husband, Tim Rosenman, the pair talked about one of their favorite Hamptons spots, Candy Kitchen, which led to a discussion of the time they saw Lopez bicycle past…and not go in.
“I’m pretty sure J. Lo the other day was riding her bike to go get a scoop of ice cream for a paparazzi shot, don’t you think that’s what she was doing?” Port asked, to which Rosenman responded, “A tra-billion per cent. She did not even go in. She was there for the exterior. Is that weird?”
“She’s already as famous as you can be. Why does she need to stoke the flames of her own fame? Seems unnecessary,” she said, noting that the “On The Floor” singer does this a lot. “I feel like that’s her vibe. She’s papped everywhere. And she’s always looking hot. And I think her continually looking hot in cute settings is what keeps the machine going.”
Rosenman said that while he doesn’t see the “need to see the machine going,” some people just like working, to which Port added, “some people are addicted to it.” Lopez? A workaholic? Ya don’t say.

The two agreed that if they had Lopez’s money and status, they would retire or at least take a step back, and not pursue additional fame. Then again, they agreed that the soon-to-be-former-Mrs. Affleck is “addicted to attention.”
They’re not wrong. And while we’re on the subject of Lopez’s media strategy, anyone else find it a tad coincidental that the time she did go inside a (different) Hamptons ice cream shop, she left a huge tip, a fact which was sure to make its way to the press? Almost like she knows she has a reputation as a notoriously bad tipper? Something to think about.
