Jennifer Lopez to get own reality show that’s all about her at The Insider

Jennifer Lopez is really spending a lot of time with her newborn twins, judging from all the statements she’s made and the projects she’s taking on. She told People Magazine that she’s training for a triathlon because she wants “her babies to be proud” of her. Now she’s taking on a reality television show for TLC, and she describes it as a “very special journey,” but only mentions her business projects, not her new daughter and son:

The pop diva and new mama made a surprise appearance on Wednesday at the Discovery Network’s Upfront at Jazz at NYC’s Lincoln Center to talk about her new show.

The reality show will debut on TLC, and will be a series about her life. “It will be a special journey,” Lopez said. “I’m launching my fragrance and working on a movie.” J.Lo revealed she went through a very creative process while pregnant, and might even consider running a triathalon now that her babies are born.

Of course she can return to work right away if that’s what she wants to do, and it’s her job to stay in shape and make public appearances, but she just bugs the hell out of me. Not everyone devotes their lives to their kids, but many go back to work out of necessity and she barely seems to consider the fact that it’s possible for her to spend some time with her twins. Maybe I’m wrong, but it doesn’t seem like she mentions them much or even seems to consider the fact that they might need her. She thought that newborn babies would somehow be proud of her for her athletic ability when they can’t even understand that concept and would rather have her love and attention. At least they’re getting it from the nannies.

Maybe if another celebrity mother was involved I wouldn’t be as harsh on her, but as I’ve mentioned before - look at Jennifer Garner. She goes out with her daughter all the time, and she managed to go back to work but she also brought her baby with her on set. In J.Lo’s case it’s all about her.

It’s possible she doesn’t want her children on camera and that’s why she making this reality show about her businesses, but why make it at all? Oh that’s right, she needs to make more money to buy the twins the best things in the world, because they would rather have couture fashion to throw up on and designer toys to play with instead of a mother who dotes on them.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are shown outside the Waverly Inn on 4/14/08, thanks to Splash and WENN.
