J-Lo: 1998 called. They want their snakeskin shorts back.

Yes, J-Lo looks fantastic, maybe even better than she did back in 1998, but Us Weekly shockingly capitalized on her tight abs for this week’s cover story, and not her newsworthy view from the judges table on the upcoming season of American Idol.  Us Weekly has been under major scrutiny for this cover story choice,  getting on the new-year, new-you bandwagon and going straight for the literal GUT of America, but if I know America (and I think I do), we want some drama. Everyone and their mother got engaged this month – it’s not like it was a slow news week – AND J-Lo’s biz choices are much more newsworthy than her meal plan.  We heart J-Lo, even when she wears J-Woww shirts and out-dated snakeskin shorts circa 1998, but we kind of agree with the scrutiny.

Anyone can tell us how to eat broccoli for lunch, but we wanna hear the lingering Paula Abdul drunk-stories, and how many asses Steven Tyler has slapped on set. We wanna hear that J-Lo keeps count under her AI desk with how many times Randy Jackson says ‘dawg’.
