Jennifer Lopez is an icon, and there are no two ways about it. But, with massive stardom comes the baggage of being written about -- often dubiously. From spending exorbitant amounts on a personal massage therapist and trying to get even with Tom Cruise, to caving into unusual “diva” demands, JLo has been grapevine’s favorite. Here’s taking a look at three ridiculous rumors that once had a major moment.

J.Lo and her boisterous ‘self-care’ rituals: Not too long ago, “Life & Style” ran a rather strange report that suggested how the 50-something-diva was particular about going the extra mile when it came to fitness and beauty. The publication conjured up a juicy narrative that offers incisive details into her daily self-care ritual, which cost her over $15,000 a day.

A questionable source revealed that Lopez shelled out “$5K a day on a makeup artist, another $5K for her hairstylist and another $5K goes to a trainer.” The so-called “insider” also suggested that the icon keeps a “full-time massage therapist” around at all times. Weird? Weird. While it’s certain that J.Lo takes fitness seriously, getting into the specifics that are far from the truth is something that a media outlet should’ve avoided. At all costs.

‘Lopez on steroids!’: Early in 2020, “Woman’s Day” ran a report that hinted at how Lopez was going all out to achieve enviable biceps. Since fitness alone wasn’t giving the results, she has resorted to taking steroids. Result? She apparently achieved the biceps of her dreams. Gossip Cop decided to cross-check with someone in J.Lo’s inner circle, who rubbished the rumor.

‘She’s trying to get back at Tom Cruise!’: Sure, Hollywood celebs take the Academy Awards seriously. It’s one of the most coveted gigs in the world, after all. But, concocting stories on the premises of unhealthy competition between stars is plain distasteful. And, that’s exactly what “NW” purported.

The publication alleged that the “Selena” star was vengeful about being left out by Tom Cruise, as he apparently strategized well to “block her chances of getting an Oscar.” through his secret campaign. The story falls flat on many levels as Cruise and Lopez aren’t rivals, to begin with.

It’s about time that rumor mills give everything a break -- especially if it’s pertaining to J.Lo and her love life, as it’s easy for one to see through the lies.
