First of all… holy shit, Happy Inauguration Day! So excited!
Ok, so anyhoo, Jennifer Lopez is totes in love with our new president, Barack Obama. Jennifer and husband El Skeletor met Obama at the Latino Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C. on Sunday evening, and it was all she could do to keep herself from grabbing at that ass.
“He is the biggest star here, even though it’s chock-full of celebrities,” said Jennifer Lopez. “The night he won the election, you could feel it in the air. I was … watching him with tears in my eyes, thinking, ‘Yes. Something is different. Something is happening.’ We’re very excited.”
“Washington’s never had a bigger rock star at the helm,” her husband Marc Anthony agreed.
Some detractors called Jennifer and El Skeletor “vile opportunists” for kissing our president’s ass after he got elected. The couple reportedly refused to perform at a fundraiser before the election, but immediately offered to play at inauguration celebrations after the election.
One power player called them “vile opportunists for worming themselves into anything Obama related even though they had nothing to do with his win.”
According to the source, Anthony refused to perform for Obama during a crucial get-out-the-Latino-vote event in Orlando, Fla., two weeks before the election and Lopez refused to endorse Obama unless he called her himself, which he didn’t. The Orlando event went on without them and featured Bill Clinton and Jimmy Smits.
Some Dems are also upset that Lopez and Anthony didn’t donate. “They haven’t given him, his campaign or the inauguration a cent,” a source said, likening the couple to Sean Combs, whose reps tried to procure inauguration tickets for him for free.
You can always count on good ol’ Jimmy Smits.
