People Realize Jennifer Lopez is Whiter than Me, Right? She's Not Really "From the Block"

NOVEMBER 22--As part of a new multimillion-dollar endorsement deal with Fiat, Jennifer Lopez has shot several TV commercials for the Italian automaker, placed the Fiat 500 in her latest music video, and even put the vehicle center stage during her performance Sunday night at the American Music Awards. But while the brand building and cross-promotion campaign is both lucrative and far-reaching, the star does have her collaborative limits. Specifically, the 42-year-old actress will not visit the Bronx in service of shilling the subcompact car. she actually never set foot in the Bronx during the filming of the Fiat spots. Instead, the role of “Jenny from the Block” was played by a body double, according to two sources familiar with the commercial production. While the Lopez lookalike was actually behind the wheel in the Bronx, Lopez herself was in Los Angeles, where she was filmed inside a Fiat 500.

Is this still news to people? That J-Lo isn't really from the block? I mean sure she lived there at one point in time, many years ago, and maybe her Abuelo still lives there or something, but I doubt it...People get that J-Lo is more white than me, right? Like sure her ass is latin, and she's got Lopez for a last night, but she was also with Ben Affleck at one point, like that's as non-latin, white as it gets.

So of course she wasn't riding around in the Bronx in a Fiat 500. Every now and then J-Lo just needs a little street cred bump, and she knows what to do to get it...Spend a season as judge on American Idol and nail an absurd contract, gain back your street cred by pretending to visit your hood and grind on a Latin pop singers dick (left). Release a worldwide smash hit, "Waiting for Tonight," complete with green lasers and shit that white people eat up? Come back with Jenny from the Block, to remind people, you're from the block. Date uber honky Ben Affleck? Marry latin crooner Marc Anthony.  It's all part of her plan people.  Jenny's more Greenwich, CT than she is "from the block." I just can't believe it's taken ya'll this long to notice.
