Jennifer Lopez aka J. Lo is taking a page from ex-boyfriend Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/Puffy/P. Diddy/Diddy’s playbook.

According to gossip blog I Don’t Like You In That Way, the 38-year old pop star has demanded People magazine stop referring to her as “J. Lo” from here on out. Must be that whole “I’m a mommy now, so my career must take a serious turn” thing that’s been happening all over Hollywood lately.

Lopez recently struck a $6 million deal with People that will allow the magazine to be the first media outlet to publish photos of her newborn twins, Max and Emme. TMZ reports that Lopez included the “J. Lo” stoppage as a clause in her contract with the magazine, along with another clause that will allow her husband and fellow pop star (really?) Marc Anthony to be the photographer for the shoot.

Perhaps she is clinging to a twisted sense of hope that allows her to believe that People magazine has become the popular cheerleader of reporting entertainment news. So, if they stop calling her “J. Lo,” all other media outlets will immediately stop, as well, in the hopes of being as cool as People. Good luck with that. (Someone forward the memo to Ann Curry.)

Numerous reports have surfaced over the last two weeks since J. Lo–excuse me–Lopez gave birth to her twins that the couple spent over $1.4 million on their pregnancy. I suppose they are just trying to make their money back by pimping out their children’s faces.

The Doors were a distinctive band, but there were two aspects that stuck out more than others in their awesome sound.  The first was the baritone caterwaul of poetry coming from the mouth of Jim Morrison.  The other is the awesome keyboard work of Ray Manzarek.  Morrison died in 1971, but Manzarek was able to [...]

There are a lot of scary things about tornadoes.  They’re just a big, scary force of nature that cannot be reasoned with, cannot be controlled, and can rarely be predicted.  Once a tornado is on the ground, you don’t really know where it’s going to hit or how hard it is going to hit.  A [...]

When it comes to drunk driving, there’s a constant battle to prevent DUI deaths.  Cops are always looking for drunks, hanging out by bars waiting for people to stagger to their cars and setting up checkpoints to otherwise annoy sober drivers.  Now, the law may be getting changed to make it easier to give a [...]

When Cody Wilson, the 25-year-old crypto-anarchist and University of Texas law student behind Defense Distributed, helped create the world’s first 3D-printed plastic handgun (called The Liberator), one of his more audacious ideas was to release the blueprints online to allow anyone with a computer and a 3D printer to make their own gun.  Turns out, [...]

Not content to rest on the success of the Kindle family of tablets and ereaders, Amazon has continued to look for ways to expand their offerings to the public.  Once a company gets a taste of being a device creator, they’re rarely satisfied with continuing to resell the stuff made by others.  Hence, Amazon is [...]
