Jennifer Lopez’s new music video featuring Casper Smart: busted, terrible or sexy?

These are some photos of Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart out and about yesterday – during the day with her kids, and then in the evening, they went to the opening of Jennifer’s newest restaurant in LA. Why so many photo-ops in one day? Because Jennifer Lopez is super-smart. Her new music video premiered on American Idol last night, and she knew everyone would be talking about this mess, so she gave us some new photos to go along with our stories. She’s very Smart. Mrs. Casper Smart.

So, the video… Us Weekly had a story before the AI premiere about the video possibly containing an “orgy scene” – a source says, “There’s a hot and steamy, sexy scene in the video where J. Lo, Casper and the dancers are on the floor pawing at each other… They’re very scantily clad.” Prepare yourselves. Gird your loins. We’ll watch it together for the first time:

GLITTER LOPEZ! Oh, the first “orgy” part is around the 0:22 second mark. It’s less an orgy and more “a group of scantily clad people sleeping in a pile.” Other random thoughts: Jennifer’s body looks great, especially when she’s wearing a leotard/bustier thing. You know what I mean? I think Jennifer’s default-style is showing her abs, and I like it better when her abdomen is covered up and she’s showing off her legs and cleavage (which is sexier, IMO). Ew… around the 1:30 minute mark, Casper really starts showing up. Casper and Jennifer have very little on-screen chemistry.

2:45 DANCE BREAK!!! I love that Jennifer puts good old-fashioned dance breaks in her videos. She’s so dated. Also: I love that J.Lo makes sure that Casper is behind her at all times. He might be her boyfriend, but she’s not going to let that mofo upstage her EVER. Everything past 3:30-ish is just awful, though. Blah. All in all, the video made me nostalgic for this…

Ben Affleck was then and is still the best of Jennifer’s video costars. I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE HE DID THIS. Controversial opinion: I still f–king love this video.

    Nope, no, nuh-uh. After watching Jlo swoon over the young guys on Idol these past two years, I’m convinced that she has the maturity level of a 14 year old. Last night, Jimmy Iovine made some snarky remarks about Jlo’s lust for the boys and there was some serious bitchface sported by Mrs. Robinson….I think she’s hideous.

    • Lee says:

      ITA. We’ve been commenting for the past two seasons of Idol on her obvious lust for the most baby-faced teen boys. She giggles and blushes and makes a fool of herself. It all suggests that her maturity level froze somewhere around when she started trying to be famous. So last night, when Jimmy Iovine made that long overdue crack, we laughed. Then she made her immaturity even more obvious with her bitchface reaction.

      • Lee says:

        Edit: I don’t think she’s hideous though. I actually find her very entertaining and quite likeable. She’s so sincere that I can’t hate her.

      • jesstar says:

        I think she’s a bit delusional, like she can’t tell the difference between like & love, so she assumes attraction is full on love- very 14 year old-like.
        That being said, Caspar does resemble Stefano from last season & she was obviously taken by him. He was also much more attractive than Caspar, but I think he worked with Marc, so she went for the next best thing. Caspar also seems to realize he’s a fish out of water in this situation, so I cant really fault him for going along for the ride. Its what twentysomethings do.

  2. dahlianoir says:

    I also regret vintage J.lo, this new single is just crap. And someone should teach a language to Pitbull. ANY HUMAN LANGUAGE I CAN UNDERSTAND !

    • Relli says:

      HAHAHAHA…..Pitbull is the worst

      So my husband is a bit of an old and also a Puerto Rican who detests Reggaeton. One day we were watching TV and that Pitbull/Dr. Pepper (i think) commercial came on where he repeats the same phrase over and over again “lets have a real good time,” over some synthesized beats. After it was over he looked at me and said “WHAT IN THE HE-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS WAS THAT.”

  3. Bex says:

    Ok so she looks great for her age but I’m afraid her voice really grates, I’ve just never been able to take her seriously as a singer.

  4. Manda says:

    She has a great body but she needs to get rid of the cinnamin roll on top of her head!!

  5. Train says:

    Sorry, but he just looks like a super butch lesbian to me. Who managed to grow a wee bit of facial hair, but you you know what I mean…

  6. Bite me says:

    My favorite la Lopez video is been around the world with p. shitty and mase … She had amazing chemistry with p. shitty

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      Has she done a video with all of her boyfriends as co-stars? It’s like we can chronicle her love life through her music videos.

      • Gene Parmesan says:

        This is soo true. Remember Cris Judd in ‘Love dont cost a thing ‘video then of cos she had videos with Marc Anthony…THIS WOMAN..

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        @gene, yup! The only one missing is Ohani. However, I don’t think she was famous enough to have her own videos back then.

    • deehunny says:

      She really did have great chemistry with Diddy. The video reminded me of a glitter seizure

  7. Jackie says:

    what a sucky video and song. sooo dated.

    jenny from the block video is great! it’s from a time when she was relevant. big difference between the two videos.

    • momoftwo says:

      Well considering that those ugly high waisted, pleated slouch pants that you cuff at the bottom are back in, I guess her dance breaks might be ready for a rebirth!

      And, not that I think he is attractive at all, but Casper is definitely better dancing live than in photos.

      And OMG – she looks amazing! She looks the same as she did in her JFTB video!

    • Ally says:

      Jenny from the Block video is awesome. Delusional, but awesome.

      I regret that the Bennifer wedding never happened. Years of gossip drama unrealized! Also, I think Affleck would have been less depressed than he seems now.

      • Original Lucy says:

        Are you kidding me? less depressed? if he had married JLO, Ben would be in a mental institution right now! Boston boys can’t do high maintenance chicks!

  8. Melanie says:

    Love the dancing but her voice is so bad I just can’t listen to the song.

  9. Agnes says:

    i love the grey dress she’s wearing with the gold chain – great look for her.

  10. yuck says:

    I can’t even watch the whole thing. It’s dull, it’s stupid, it’s “let’s watch J-Lo flex her muscles one by one.” What demographic is this supposed to appeal to?

  11. Rhea says:

    ZZZZZ….

  12. Kkkaren says:

    ..the only question is..is it more cringe inducing than Madge’s vid for celebration featuring Mr Luz. Well seeing how Casper isn’t 22 and has been around show-biz for a while the answer for me is no. The song needs a remix…her voice is too high and there’s not enough base.

    • Jayna says:

      I loved Madonna’s second video for Celebration with gay fans dressed as incarnations of Madonna throughout the years and then Lola in a brief scene as early Madonna dancing geeky, like a kid though. It made the video good, with far less Madonna dancing against the wall, which is getting old.

  13. Jayna says:

    The video really bored me. I couldn’t finish it. Pop dance videos should draw you in. Madonna’s Girl Gone Wild is an example of a great pop video that kept me interested. The orgy scene didn’t make sense in the context of the song. When you are in a relationship that drains you and you’re finally free, the premise of wanting to dance again and feel free as an analogy I get, the freedom of movement on the dance floor likened to the freedom of leaving a troubled marriage. But the video didn’t capture that and the song goes on too long, which isn’t good for a song that isn’t very good to begin with. I agree with the poster above. The song is dated.

  14. paola says:

    He really cannot play the part: she’s hot he’s NOT!

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      Hence the “love is blind” blindfold they were using. They must be aware of what we’re saying about the two of them. LOL

    • derp says:

      you dont need looks if you got SWAG.
      not a Jlo fan at all, but she looks happy (not forced) can we stop hating, she didnt direct this video herself….you would rather see her opposite a “hotter” guy? that would make you watch the video more? no.

      • paola says:

        no you got me wrong! I’m just saying, despite his physical appearance that people may or may not like, he sucks at playing the role. he looks like a fish out of water while jlo is perfectly comfortable in her sexy role, he just seems emotionless in my opinion.

  15. Azurea says:

    I guess JLo’s never heard of metaphor.

  16. Jellybean says:

    J Lo is gonna do what she wants to do, that is obvious, but this is so ridiculous. This dude looks like a baby. Why does she have SUCH bad taste in men? What gives?

  17. Mum says:

    Oh I’m torn, you see, I just loves me a bit of ol’ fashioned ‘Dance Break’ in a song. And I find this combo of man-child with attitude and aging pop diva comical, what’s not to love about this? Time to dust off my velour tracksuit, raid the bird cage for some ear rings and dance..

  18. sukienow says:

    she is free to love who she wants

    people are always harping that some celebrities should date none celebrity regular folks

    well here is jlo dating one: why should it matter that she is older than him? he is of legal age isnt he.

    and why should it matter that she has more money than him.
    at least he works(even if it as a dancer), he been working before her, so i guess he isnt a bum.

    if the role was opposite i wouldnt see too many people up in arms

    • Toot says:

      You sure wouldn’t and I agree with your whole post.

    • Nev says:

      word up.

      I think JLO has a Elizabeth taylor Attitude regarding love and relationships…she will love hard and flaunt and marry everyone…it is her love style.

  19. Toot says:

    I don’t think the video was bad. Jennifer looked like she was happy and having fun with Casper,so I’m not going to knock her.

  20. Hanna says:

    Lol.. This sh-t is terrible.

  21. Jennifer says:

    Did anyone else feel like they were watching a glorified re-enactment of one of those teacher-student seductions? I had to stop watching. It was just too much.

  22. quelish says:

    Dang! While the song is shite, I enjoyed the dancing. Also, get on it, JLo. I support her fun times with her hot young piece.

  23. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    It went from meh to WTF when she decided to shill her perfume at the end.

    The only thing I liked was pitbull ripping off ODB’s “shimmy, shimmy ya” at the beginning.

    • Viv says:

      Yaaaay! I am so glad someone else got that ODB shimmy shimmy! It is a sad day when I have to admit that the best thing abot a song or a video is Pitbull. And did he ever lose a bet that he has to wear tuxedos or white suits all the time?

    • CL says:

      Look closely at the 00:44 mark – she floats up into a bottle of her perfume. Smart business move – make a music video AND a commercial at the same time!

      Ben’s video was the best. Bennifer forever!

  24. Gene Parmesan says:

    Love is Blind but we are not!! Casper is soooo meh eww
    But lmao @ ‘jenny from the block’ when Ben takes off her bikini bottoms and smells it? it gets me all the time

  25. catt says:

    I finally figured out who Casper looks like…Vin Diesel right? C’mon he’s his doppelganger!@

  26. Jenna says:

    Boy, those sunglasses aren’t doing his face any favors.

  27. bubbles says:

    man, quit hatin’ y’all. she looks happy and is having fun. what’s it to you? god, she was was sceletor for years. it can only go up from there.

  28. Dena says:

    She should sing and dance her way to a psychologist’s office. She can take Casper with her; however she must go in and come out alone.

  29. Girlygirl410 says:

    She needs to stick to acting.

  30. Lindsey G. says:

    Jennifer is like that chick at work who only ever dates the people she works with. Stop shitting where you eat, girl! Oh and, gross; don’t need to know about ya’lls sex-crobatics, ok?

  31. jill says:

    And she wonders why people call her JHOE.Because you act like it.When she was younger she could get away with it.But I think it’s time to grow up and get your act together.Stop Parading your boytoy and think about your kids.

  32. asiont says:

    I just can’t watch it or listen to it, it’s so bad it hurts

  33. Maritza says:

    As her song says,”Who cares what they say I’m going to dance the night away…” The woman is in love and enjoying her life, good for her!

  34. Tazina says:

    It’s up to Jennifer who she wants to date, her life, her deal. She obviously finds Casper appealing and so good for her. Fun times…live life…yeah! She looks happy and contented – not a bad way to be. Those who criticize sound small minded and petty.

  35. Joh says:

    Would anyone even be talking about her if not for a loaded gun in Sean Combs trunk back in the day?
    Sorry but I don’t think she is very talented as a singer or dancer, it’s just the bar is so very low!!!!!!!
    She does have a good plastic surgeon tho.

  36. Dredz says:

    This has became J.Lo’s trademark, featuring her current guy on music videos, and that orgy scene is copied from Kylie Minogue’s MV “Slow”. What an awful song, and dated dance moves… She needs to sell her personal life just to give it some attention I think

  37. Elizabeth says:

    She pays him $520K per year ($10K /week) to be her boyrfiend and STILL feels obligated to give him work on her videos?! Putting Casper in the video makes it look like she’s desparate for people to think they are … what?…. equals? He may be a lovely person who calls his mom every day but he’s a hired piece of ass. Everyone knows it. Why does she pretend otherwise?

  38. Amanda G says:

    For a song about dancing and loving, the video represents neither of those things. 4 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Oh and who is responsible for Pitbull? So annoying.

  39. Isa says:

    I don’t understand. If she wanted to show off her abs in the Jenny from the Block video, why didn’t she just wear a crop top?
    I just went and rewatched “All I have” and “I’m real.”
    I used to LOVE those songs back when I was what…13?
    Confession: I still kind of love them.

  40. cannonball says:

    Fun for her to look at herself over and over with not so hot toddie. Boring for us.

  41. Rux says:

    OMG. holy awful. Aren’t back up dancers supposed to be able to dance? Chris Judd at least knew how to move. This kid looks like a budget Frankenstein….ugh I have to get a drink, maybe more.

  42. dahlia1947 says:

    I saw it and some parts are pretty hot.
    I like it for that, the scenes where they’re close together and grinding. 😉

    But the rest of it is not cute.

  43. Jover says:

    Jho is to music what ozone is to the atmosphere destructive – funny, she has a cd and doesn’t tour just releases vids every few months too lazy and who wants to pay teeth grinding prices to watch someone lip sync. BTW, Pitbull is awful a total joke insult to music and a sell-out;
    Reggeaton is awful corporate toy music; I can’t believe this is what is truly popular in the latin communtiy or is it simply being forced onto everyone by the corporate music bigwigs;
    BTW, Esperanza Spalding has a new cd anyone and Rodrigo and Gabriela are cranking it out – Why not support real music, period.

  44. Leticia says:

    She has nice abs and shapely behind. I can’t think of anything else good to say about this situation. I’m all for her making a fool out of herself, I just wish she would do it with guys who are cuter. At least P Diddy and Ben A were good looking and had their own credit card.

  45. nikzilla37 says:

    omg the blindfold! love really is blind.

  46. Madison says:

    Jenny from the Block was the best video she ever made, especially where she had Affleck kissing her ass, that still makes laugh. Ben was in love/lust with JLo and lust makes a man do stupid things.

    JLo and Madonna seem to be stuck in a time warp though, still making the same old videos.

  47. Sam says:

    What a generic and bland song! If it weren’t for AI she would have faded into obscurity…I think she needs tips from her soon to be ex Marc who’s dating someone old enough to be his daughter, atleast he isn’t desperately trying to prove he’s hot sh*t and young women still want him to the world! Maybe if JLo toned it down, didn’t desperately flaunt their ‘love’ for the world to see in a music video and kept her relationship with Casper private she probably wouldn’t get as much slack as she is getting now.

    x

  48. skuddles says:

    Nope – just ick.

  49. judyjudy says:

    Watching her dance and…whatever…with him is embarrassing.

    I’m all for an older gal getting some hot young lovin’, but when I’m her age (not too far off) I hope to have a deeper, sexier, more meaningful purpose to my life than running around sweet facing some kid squealing “ooooooh, my boyfriend, I’m so in loooooove! Look at meeeeee! So in love with my boyfriend!”

    Barf.

  50. ManicPixieDreamGirl says:

    I could only make it through the first 30 seconds. I hate all the glitter and her cheesy ass style.

  51. Original Lucy says:

    Watching that Jenny from the Block video made me remember how hot ben and jlo were together…he was gorgeous back then and they couldn’t keep their hands off each other…the new video is an audio/visual steaming pile of horseshit!

  52. corey says:

    according to anyone you would ask:looks and status wise,she’s way out of league, yet she’s so proud of him. Im probably alone on this, but i actually find this to be kind of endearing.

  53. MizzVJJ says:

    She tries WAY TOO HARD. And always has.

  54. leslilly says:

    I had to watch both videos on mute (for my own sanity). Interesting to watch the old video – it was obvious to me how much subtle, excellent plastic surgery JLo has had done. I can see it in her nose especially.

  55. gg says:

    What is supposed to be this bitch’s talent?? All she does is wear bodysuits that make her thighs look off-balance, make a few poses in front of banks of warehouse fans and drama! lighting, makes that stupid starfish pose she loves so much, and then it’s over. She can’t do fancy footwork, probably because of the crippling shoes, she doesn’t sing songs, she yells and grunts parts of I don’t know what, and there’s no verse and all it is is just like snippets of pseudo dancing in yet another ill-advised outfit. How in hell is she famous? She can’t sing or act or dance, or pick out clothes. And she clearly picks out her own clothes.

  56. Mooshi says:

    I think some of the posters have forgotten the thrill of courtship. With her X she was a twig…..a dead tree.

    But this new being dances and throws her around the room.

    What is there really not to like? I love it~~~

    GG you are soo angry. Cut loose!

    Cheer on!!

    • gg says:

      girl I ain’t angry at all. 🙂

      I understand her going for The Friendly Ghost more than I do her “talent”. I’m a rock musician and I can’t stand disco fakery.

  57. mooshi says:

    oh let it go

  58. Snowpea says:

    JLo illustrates the Hollowood dream perfectly: manufacture an image, hone it to perfection, it’s all smoke and mirrors.

    That whole Latina, glow, Jenny from the Block thing she’s been doing for twenty years is still working for her.

    PS She looks freakin’ amazing! She used to be tres unattractive in her Diddy days.

    • Ashton Martin says:

      Girlfriend been doing that act for 20 years and it is way tired. W-A-Y tired.

      This girl bores me pissless.

  59. Nev says:

    JENNY FROM THE BLOCK IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS EVER.

    the glitter in her new video is beautiful.

    sooo beautiful to watch.

    she shouldve used Pitbull instead of Casper though.

  60. Ashton Martin says:

    Jennifer is looking a tad tired. And not in a good way. With that hottie in tow she should have a glow, but instead she looks like well….tired.

    Good on Ben to pick a Jennifer that isnt full of herself enough for all mankind, and with a more tasteful amount of junk in the trunk. Hey, just plain junk can be overkill if you tote around a ton of it behind you 24-7. Just sayin.

  61. mchammer says:

    I hate this b*tch,but the song is not bad.Casper is one ugly dude.Jlo has bad skin but makeup,photoshop,smoke and mirrors make her skin look flawless. She had alot of plastic surgery done.She dances stiff.

  62. Ed Varilo says:

    Sorry to disappoint you all, but Jlo doesn’t have a new restraunt in L.A., she went bankrupt, on her last one Madre, in Pasadena., she can’t sing, act, or even cook, what a failure.
