• How can a funny, neurotic, Jewish writer possibly get a break in this town?

  • How can a funny, kind of grumpy, very dramatic Italian writer possibly get a break in this town?

• Yes. Score one for diversity. Let’s hope this vanity project actually becomes something great for Fox. TV needs a boat load more diversity on the air…

• As a producer Jennifer Lopez is just as bad as her singing, acting, etc.,etc., etc. From one Nuyorican to another Nuyorican, La Lopez, you BLOW!

• Isn’t it a bit over-complimentary to call Horta the creator of a show that was already well known in the Spanish speaking world?

  • You’ve obviously never seen Horta’s version or the original version because you would realize that they are entirely different shows. Additionally, many shows are remakes or adaptations of existing material and no one ever questions whether the creators of those shows actually “created” them.

• JLo J Blows. She’d rather do a whole lot of stuff in a mediocre fashion than do one thing really, really well.

  Oh wait.

  She has no talent. Can’t sing, can’t act, can’t even dance any more.
  All she can do is market her sad self. Which very few adults are buying any more. I thought the driving force behind Ugly Betty (which I adored, BTW) was Salma Hayek, not this talentless piece o’ crap.

  Won’t watch, don’t care.

• “SO” from one nobody to another nobody.. You can attack JLO all you want but in the end there is no such thing as bad publicity..
  JLO has made a big splash, a big name, a big career and A big bank account for herself despite all THE HATERS in this world..

  You may say she is untalented.. but she is extremely talented in making it happen !! You may have all the talent in the world but
  if you DO NOT WORK YOUR AZZ OFF & MAKE IT HAPPEN.. then what good is your so called talent??

  I’ve seen many talented people come and go in this industry..
  Talent without work ethic and ambition = WASTED
  Maybe if you stop crying on these boards, stop being “SO” JEALOUS,
  you can focus on your dreams instead of focusing on your envy

  • Lets be serious now…as a professional i have to agree with the poster you replied to. Who are you to tell someone they are “jealous” or crying on these boards? Truth is Jlow is horrible, so she’s American of PR descent, wow should she get a free pass just because she slept her way to projects with minimal talent and a surgery clad body/face? Is that the ambition you speak of? She was good at sleeping her way to the breakout role in Selena to Tommy Mottola for her record deal. We know she cant sing or act much less produce, (her dancing was revamped Janet/Brittany moves with a “latinflavor” thrown in..producing SB/Tow? HA! Buying her own star in Hollywood, she is desperately looking for ANY hit in music, tv, fashion to throw her name on..If she were not all abt herself i might agree with you. She sucks…she doesnt have the degree or education and can keep the money, im well off..so dont reply with jealous or crying bit. Im a TV fan.
