Jennifer Lopez claims she handles fame well

Saturday, October 06, 2007

Washington (ANI): Actress Jennifer Lopez knows how to guard her and hubby Marc Anthony"s privacy. In a recent interview with Giant magazine, the singer/actress revealed that apart from work-related situations, she and Mark don"t go to random places to attract paparazzi attention. "You don't have to go where everybody goes; there are a million other places that are great," People quoted her, as telling the mag.

"We established early on that our relationship was not for public consumption. When we're out there, it's 'cause it's part of our work, but you won't catch us hanging out at some random place with paparazzi following us 'cause we don't let them," she added. The 'Wedding Planner" star further said that she didn"t have the celebrity habit of tipping of the photogs about her movements. "And we have such a tight circle of friends, we don't have people calling the photographers saying, 'Marc and Jennifer are coming here,"" she said.

Pop star Jennifer Lopez"s hubby Marc Anthony has given a positive hint about his wife"s pregnancy. Reports that the couple might be expecting their first child started circulating after Lopez started wearing loose-fitting clothing for public appearances. However, the pair has consistently denied the reports of the 'Wedding Planner" actress being pregnant.

But, now with Lopez"s bulging belly making her pregnancy evident, Anthony has hinted that the denial might not be altogether accurate. The couple recently visited to a Bronx, New York school, where Anthony told reporters that he is excited and happy to watch Lopez growing regularly.

"It's a blessing to watch her grow on a daily basis. I'm so excited," Contactmusic quoted Anthony, as saying.

Jennifer Lopez has jumped to the defence of troubled stars Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. The 'Waiting For Tonight" singer insisted that the reason behind their messy lives is nothing but the pressures of fame. "People wonder why Britney or Lindsay or Paris is acting crazy, but they don't know what it means not to be able to walk outside your house. 'Oh, but she has $10 million!' they say, but that doesn't help when you can't... feel good," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

"I feel so bad when I see people going through the beginnings of it. Because it's not fun. You have to learn to navigate it because if you don't, it will eat you up," she added. According to the singer/actress, the best way to deal with the problem is to keep grounded. “It's a lot of pressure. And you gotta keep grounded and find a way to deal with it and hopefully have love in your life," she said. As for her own self, she said, that she and her hubby Marc Anthony consciously avoid socialising in places where the paparazzi are likely to be prowling.
