We love celebrity spin control. When someone is caught with a hooker or gets filmed donkey punching an old lady on a crowded street, there are always stories leaked by "inside sources" claiming that said celebrity is truly a great person, and the Starbucks barista must've put eighteen shots in their morning latte, because they would never do such a horrible thing. And then there's the eye-witness account from some bumpkin in Montana who personally saw said celebrity rescue a couple of dozen puppies from a burning building. So we say it's no coincidence that today there are two stories about Jennifer Lopez: 1) She's getting sued because her doggie bit a lady, and 2) She's a totally wonderful hands-on mom who doesn't even have nannies! She's amazing. First the legal stuff, from The New York Daily News:
A flight attendant claims Jennifer Lopez's guard dog chomped her leg on a plane trip two years ago, and now she wants to take a $5 million bite out of the singer's pocketbook.
Lisa Wilson, 40, filed a suit in Brooklyn Federal Court Thursday, alleging the attack caused her to fall and suffer back injuries that prevent her from working anymore.The dog-bites-woman tale began July, 3, 2006, when NetJets, a private airline company, assigned Wilson to work a flight taking J.Lo to Burbank Airport in California, the suit says.
Wilson says Lopez boarded a Gulfstream IV jet at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, L.I., with Floyd, a German shepherd described in the manifest as "a well-behaved guard dog."
Just in case, Wilson, of Mary Esther, Fla., says in the court papers, Lopez gave her some instructions on how to act around Floyd.
But the suit alleges that 90 minutes into the flight, Wilson walked past Floyd, and he responded by "attacking her and biting her pant leg."
In an attempt to get away, Wilson says she "twisted and fell," injuring her lower back so badly she had to undergo surgery last year and no longer can work – "at great economic loss."
But because owning a vicious dog who incapacitates a poor woman isn't good for the rep, MSNBC also brings us this story:
Us Weekly reports that the Lopez and Anthony might still be wrapping 4-month-old Max and Emme in $100 Melissa Masse blankets, but theyíre doing so without the help of nannies. The magazine confirmed with Lopezís rep that the couple is still without outside help, even while traveling abroad. A Lopez confidant also told Us, ìThe whole 75-pieces-of-Louis-Vuitton-luggage thing is just not happening now. Ö Being a mother has completely changed Jennifer.îThatís a good thing: A source told Scoop that before the twins were born, Lopez had picked up a strange travel habit. ìNot even the first-class lounge was good enough for her. She kept slipping into a door inside the lounge, so people thought it was like a special VIP area,î said a traveler who witnessed the behavior on many occasions.
ìTurns out, it was just a storage closet. Give her credit for wanting to be left alone, but hiding in a storage closet? That's a little extreme.î
See, she's good people! She knows how to raise her children with only the help of an animated-skeleton husband and millions and millions of dollars. That's not easy, folks.
