Dear Jennifer Lopez: Why Don’t You Just Take All Your Money And Go Away Somewhere Fancy, And Leave Us Alone?

Jennifer Lopez’s second attempt of 2009 at making people remember that she still considers herself a recording artist from time to time will be a Tricky/The-Dream collaboration called “Louboutins,” which she’ll perform at the American Music Awards next month. Because hey, what better way to entice your potential audience in a time where unemployment in the U.S. is officially hovering around the 10% mark (the real numbers are even less pretty) than to sing an ode to expensive shoes? It’s like Sex And The City never got canceled! $25 cosmos for everyone, you guys! Making this whole enterprise almost even more embarrassing for everyone involved than all that “Lola” nonsense—including me, as I write this—is the small fact that the song is actually a cast-off of Brandy’s from 2008. She recorded it for her album Human, but it wasn’t included on the final version of the record. So J. Lo is peacocking about high fashion… via a song that’ll be at least 12 months old by the time it finally debuts? That seems kind of weird! Maybe she’s suffering from the lousy economy, too.
