If this is true, it's just sad..you'd think she would just appreciate the honor of carrying the torch. I don't think all these stories about her can be fabricated

Olympian demands
torched J.Lo gig
Jennifer Lopez got diva treatment in Santa Monica while shooting 'Monster-in-Law.' We hear she wouldn't hoof it here for an Olympics event.
Not even Mayor Bloomberg can afford Jennifer Lopez.
New York's billionaire politician made a special call to the Bronx homegirl to get her to perform at the city's Olympic torch ceremony last weekend. Lopez at first agreed - no doubt aware of Bloomberg's appreciation of her assets.
But later she begged off, saying she had work commitments.
However, a publicist for her film, "Monster-in-Law" says Lopez shot no scenes last weekend, and she was snapped at her new husband Marc Anthony's Miami show on Friday.
So why the kissoff?
People tell us Lopez demanded that she be flown by private jet from Miami and then back to Los Angeles at a cost of $38,660.
She also wanted her usual New York hotel suite, which runs $9,500 a night - as well as rooms for her bodyguard and assistant, another $1,000.
Then there was the cost of her hairstylist, Oribe ($4,500 a day), and her makeup artist, Scott Barnes ($6,000 a day.) That's a whopping $59,660 for a couple of torch songs.
A source tells us there was no way the city was going to pay that, and sponsors couldn't raise private donations quickly enough.
"There were discussions regarding who was paying for her to come to town and perform. She was assured it wasn't the taxpayers' money and it was actually private donors," her spokeswoman told us.
