J-Lo’s Demands Are Too Much

J-Lo is rumored to be an extremely expensive diva and her records haven’t been doing well enough to help her label break even! According to a source close to Epic Records and Epic’s parent company, Sony BMG,

“She costs too much money and doesn’t sell enough,” says the source, who is familiar with the issue. “Her last album cover alone cost $60,000 in hair and makeup, lighting, photographers, re-touching, etc. The video budget was in the neighborhood of $300,000.”

Lopez performed on “Good Morning America” earlier this month, and all the costs were absorbed by the label. “Epic had to eat the cost for that entire performance. From her makeup – ” which typically costs in the neighborhood of $8,000 per day – ” to the backup singers, to the rigging, lighting and sound,” says a source close to the Lopez camp. “The woman requires everything short of flying monkeys to get on a stage.”

If Jennifer stays with her current label it’s likely she’ll be doing a few greatest hits albums, as those cost very little to produce.True or not, you have to admit that the flying monkies quote is kind of hilarious Click on thumbnails for some screen caps of J-Lo’s performance on Dancing With the Stars last week.
