Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart’s casual outing in LA: try-hard and uncomfortable?

These are some new photos of Jennifer Lopez and Facial Challenge shopping at The Grove in LA over the weekend. I’m not going to get all bitchy about Jennifer’s outfit, mostly because I think she and Casper were enjoying a low-key moment and I absolutely believe that celebrities do not have to be “ON” all the time. That being said, Jennifer knew she and Casper would be photographed, and she chose this “casual” outfit specifically with that in mind – look at the way she put together her whole “look”. The jumpsuit is just terrible, isn’t it? Hammer-pants are not flattering on anyone, but they’re especially awful on a woman with a curvier figure. Think about this – how much cuter would this have been if Jennifer had worn a maxi dress?

Another (minor) irritation – I don’t like Jennifer and Casper Smart’s body language. It feels like she walks behind him a lot, like he’s leading her around. Part of it chivalry, sure – he holds the door for her, he opens her car door, he puts her purchases in the trunk and he drives them away in her car. I would make a joke about how he acts like her assistant, but honestly, it feels more like “This is my lady, I’m going to take care of her.” It bugs me because… well, Jennifer is a huge star and Facial Challenge is just some dumb kid. They’re not equals in any sense.

By the way, I still don’t know for sure if Jennifer is leaving American Idol. Last week, it was widely reported that she was seriously considering leaving of her own volition because she’s just too busy now. There were also rumors that she was being pushed out by producers, and there were other rumors that this was all a big ploy by Camp Lopez to get even more money. I do know that it’s looking more and more like producers really want to keep her, so they’ll probably offer her a crazy amount of money… and then we’ll see.

    reminds me of brandi glanville’s soccer game photograph!
    oh JLo!

  2. RN says:

    He looks fine. She looks like she’s wearing an oversized onesie, complete with requisite saggy diaper.

    • mary simon says:

      ^ 🙂 What RN said. That thing is ridiculous. She managed to out-sack Angie!

  3. Kitty says:

    Girl just wanna have fun. Go for it Jen.

  4. I.want.shoes says:

    That thing she is wearing looks like pj’s, so no, I don’t think it’s try-hard and uncomfortable. It’s just plain ugly and unflattering.

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      Unflattering, as in making her legs look 3x larger than they really are.

  5. Agnes says:

    why oh why do people wear these jumpsuits? it’s like an adult onsie. unacceptable, seriously. jlo is a beautiful woman, she can look way better.

  6. Jackie says:

    she seems to be attracted to men who show signs of being ‘take charge’ and macho. she has the emotional intelligence of a 15 year old girl.

    • Emma says:

      + 1 “I’m a fragile flower, protect me from harm and take me away on your white horse!”

      • Happymom says:

        Yes. Except in this case the white horse is a ridiculously expensive car that SHE paid for, and he acts entitled to. Ugh.

    • TG says:

      It is so funny JLo is constantly battling with herself about being a type A assertive woman and the submissive Latina who likes to be controlled by dominant males. The problem is JLo is way to assertive to ever let some man lead her around for long so inevitably the relationship implodes once the high she gets from being submissive wears down and she realizes this guy has nothing over her.

      • DreamyK says:

        Yep. All that you said. It’s pretty funny how he lets her treat him like her lap dog, though. Hold my bags, Casper. Drive my car, Casper. Fetch, Casper! hahahha. The sh*t that people will do to have some fame and money. Crazy.

  7. SleepyJane says:

    I really wonder what this guy must be thinking. I think trophy wives/girlfriends can trick themselves into believing that they’re truly in love.

    Can a man in that situation do the same?

    • Toot says:

      He probably can since Jennifer is still hot. I have a harder time believing the women with men who look like true trolls.

      I know everything I said was shallow, but we all know looks help a situation a whole lot.

      • SleepyJane says:

        Yeah. Thats what I figured was his only consolation. The age gap is still pretty big though.

  8. MizzVJJ says:

    Of course she’s trying too hard. I don’t think J.Lo is capable of anything else.

    • Veruca says:

      What’s even sadder is that she managed to become a millionaire being a try-hard.

      And shouldn’t she be driving a Fiat?

  9. Fyofeelings says:

    I’m all for her getting some young peen nothing wrong with that. FYI he’s not ugly far from it he’s alright in the face.

  10. Tjcinct says:

    With WTEWYE opening to only 10 mill…I am sure she will be signing on for another season of AI

  11. Beatrix says:

    i still don’t understand why we bought her again. I thought we’d gotten over this woman years ago!!!

  12. Blue says:

    If AI is stupid enough to give her more money I hope they are at least smart enough to lock her into a longer contract. Is she really that big of a pull that they justify giving her 20 mil.?

  13. veruca darling says:

    Are those red shoes on him?? Why did she allow him to wear those pitiful shoes? They probably cost more than my paycheck but they look stupid.

  14. lw says:

    I love “hammer pants” & rompers. And I totally disagree that curvy gals can’t rock them. Just a fun Summer look. Must she look like she’s on a red carpet every second of every day?

    • Nikki Girl says:

      Some people can rock jumper suits. But she honestly can’t, she just looks terrible here in my opinion.

  15. thinkaboutit says:

    I’m trying to wrap my mind around driving a Bentley and shopping at Zara…the two just don’t go. I love Zara but it just doesn’t go with the flashy-cash look-at-me statement they’re making with the $200,000 car.

  16. nikzilla37 says:

    UGH her outfit is terrible.

  17. fd says:

    I like her jumpsuit. I think it’s cute and it looks good on her.

  18. QQ says:

    DEEEAAADDD at ” Facial Challenge” as his new name , also is it me ir that child looks SUPER Twee small and tinsy?!

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Looking at them I always get the vibe that he is her “Pocket Man”, like a small doll she can dress up and play with, pose him however she wants. He is a really little dude…

  19. Joey says:

    Why is he always wearing a ridiculous hat?

  20. Nikki Girl says:

    Wow, this is a first. I’ve never really seen J. Lo look chunky or unflattering in any outfit she wears, but she definitely looks thick here, this outfit is awful. It has nothing to do with it being casual or whatnot; it just doesn’t fit or flatter right. Yikes.

  21. moo says:

    Hey… a real gent would’ve opened her door, little boy!

    • moo says:

      or maybe he did…… thought the woman outside the car was her. what.the.freak.ever…………

  22. Dahlia1947 says:

    Yep that’s right. They ain’t equals and it does look funny how he walks in front of her with authority, but oh well. I guess they’re in love or something.

    Love the color of the pantsuit. That’s it.

  23. the original bellaluna says:

    That romper…Oh, dear me, NO! Facial Challenge “leading” her around, when she pays for everything? Bitch, please.

    AI, fire her considerable ass. Don’t give in to her “quest” for more money. She doesn’t need it; she doesn’t deserve it; and she needs to go away for a good long while. Let her go “pursue her other interests,” PLEASE.

  24. Teri from Canada says:

    I think he is a jack ass and she is a slut…She cant go for a week without a man

  25. Kelly says:

    Yes totally JLo should assert herself, nothing wrong with that. She does look submissive to him.

  26. A Fan says:

    There comes a time in a woman’s life when you make the transition from youthful free pass to more age-appropriate choices. She has come to that time but has not made the transition (in men or clothes).

  27. bubbles says:

    I actually feel bad for her. I’m sure she is having fun, but really homegirl, really, you can do soooo much better than that. ugh! well at least she won’t be breeding with that. she already has two facially challenged little ones. (oh, boy, this comment will probably never make it.)

  28. Dutch says:

    What the hell is going on with her forehead?

  29. JLo’s attempt at looking young and hip =’s fail.
