Jennifer Lopez can’t sing, dance & wear a catsuit at the same time

Uh, I think I’m getting a yeast infection just from looking at these photos of Jennifer Lopez performing at the 2010 San Remo Italian Music Festival on Friday. Yes, she’s wearing a leather catsuit (that she looks like she’s about to bust out of). True, this leather catsuit isn’t as bad as the nearly-nude, saggy-butt one she wore on New Year’s Eve. But it still kind of sucks. At some point, I do have to ask La Lopez: why the catsuits? Can’t you find a cute outfit that isn’t a onesie (that won‘t give you a yeast infection)?

If you thought the outfit was the worst part, you’re mistaken. There’s video of Jennifer performing a medley of her songs, and it’s… rough. I suppose I could give Jennifer credit for attempting to sing live. But she should know by now that she’s not the best live singer, and that hearing her sing live isn’t why people come. Here’s the video below, and a summary by the NYDN:

J.Lo’s cat-suit look apparently has nine lives, or at least two.

After stalking into the new year in a sparkly body-hugging cat-suit, Jennifer Lopez’s booty set tongues wagging again Friday night – this time in a skin tight black leather suit accessorized with studs and laces.

The curvy 41-year-old singer, who was performing on the fourth night of the 2010 San Remo Italian Music Festival, seems to have maintained her stamina and her curves since the New Year.

Lopez sang a medley of her major hits: “Jenny from the Block,” “Waiting for Tonight,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “Get Right” and “Lets Get Loud.”

No doubt constricted by the tight leather, she didn’t perform highly complicated moves, settling for a lot of hip swiveling and stomping. But that was probably enough for the male population.

The highlight of the performance had Lopez and her back-up dancers twirling canes for a Charlie Chaplin-esque number.

The mother of two took to the stage twice for the festival’s 60th anniversary. During her second act she wore gold tasseled military regalia and sang “What Is Love?” – a single from her new album, “Love?”

At the end of the show, Lopez smiled under a sea of confetti and shouted breathlessly, “You didn’t know I could do that did you?”

“You didn’t know I could do that did you?” Uh… yes, we did know that you couldn’t sing live and dance in time all while wearing a yeasty leather catsuit. But, seriously, I love that Jennifer tried. I give her credit for trying. She’s funny when she tries. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again: I am not a Jennifer Lopez hater. I kind of like her and all of her diva antics. I get enjoyment from how she’s so full of herself and how she thinks we’ve all been sitting around, praying for her musical/dancing/acting/fashion comeback. And in some ways, we have been sitting around waiting for it. Because Jennifer is usually newsworthy. Even if it’s the bad kind of newsworthy.

Pete Doherty getting cosy with Sting’s daughter

If I were a parent, I could think of few things I would find more terrifying than the prospect of Pete Doherty ever getting near any of my children. Or my pets. Or my houseplants. Really, the thought of Pete anywhere near anything living is just too much for me to handle.

Singer Sting has reportedly hit the roof over news that his 17-year-old daughter Coco has been hanging out with Pete. A lot. Some of it has been in the studio (Coco is working on her debut CD), but the two spent a good deal of time together in a tent at the Glastonbury music festival last weekend – much to Sting’s chagrin.

The Police frontman reportedly went through the roof when it emerged 17-year-old Coco was within spitting distance of the celebrated junkie. A fellow Glastonbury festival-goer spotted the Babyshambles singer, 29, lying down in Coco’s tent at the music festival.

Pete and Coco Sumner’s friendship is blossoming after they met at a Soho jazz bar in London, and Pete has been helping her develop her songwriting and guitar skills. But the news that they were together at Glastonbury, where Pete played a solo set, seems to have been a step too far for Sting.

The onlooker said: ‘I was standing next to Coco’s tent after Pete had played his set, and one of her friends went to check on her. She unzipped the door, and Pete was lying outstretched in her tent. He looked very comfortable and was smoking something – the tent was full of smoke but it was impossible to tell what it was. He seemed pretty out of it, though.

‘Coco’s father isn’t too happy about her hanging around Pete because of his reputation, and hit the roof when he heard he had stayed in her tent.’

The source added: ‘Coco has definitely inherited her dad’s vocal skills and Pete has been raving about her talent. It’s pretty clear he has the hots for her too, which will only worry her dad more.’ While 56-year-old Sting, real name Gordon, and mum Trudy Styler, 53, will be pleased she is getting musical input from someone-as talented as Pete, we bet they hope that’s the only input he’s having. Otherwise Pete might quickly learn what Sting was singing about in The Police’s 1983 hit King Of Pain.

I’m glad Sting freaked out. Any parent that would be okay with their 17-year-old hanging out with Pete Doherty shouldn’t be allowed to have kids. Just looking at the guy, I’m afraid bugs would jump off of him. And really, that’s the kindest thing I can say. I really don’t think he should be allowed to come closer than 10 feet to anyone. I cannot even imagine how many communicable diseases that man is carrying.

I know Doherty supposedly has oodles of talent, but if I were Coco’s parents, that wouldn’t even come close to canceling out all the bad he can potentially do. I’d suggest they make Coco shower three times a day, just to be safe. I’ve heard soap is like kryptonite to Pete Doherty.
