Whatever you do, don't call Jennifer Lopez overweight!

In the December issue of Glamour, the 42-year-old American Idol host admits she once felt compelled to fire her manager after he criticized her curvy figure.

"I was just so infuriated that somebody said you couldn't have a little extra meat on you -- because I was by no means fat!" Lopez says. "That was so mean and closed-minded."

"I was like: 'No, this is who I am and this is the type of woman that I grew up with and it's beautiful. There's no reason to be anybody but myself.'"

Lopez, who did not offer her former manager's name, says she no longer feels pressure to change her shape. "I don't get that now," she tells Glamour. "I think people know better."

While her curves may no longer be a concern, the single star said she is slightly worried about growing older. "I mean, I'd like to think I'll feel great about myself and age gracefully," she says, "but then I think, 'Well, what if I do want a little bit of something?'"

Would she ever get plastic surgery? "I'm open to being open," Lopez says. "I'm not going to make a judgment on it because I don't have to yet."

I do not know what is the major hang up with some people attacking Jennifer Lopez. She is a beautiful woman and has a beautifully sexy booty. Most women would be proud to have an ass like JLO and many don't. That is life. About her as an actress, well, that is another story. But I think she is making the money, beauty and booty.

Jeniffer is a beautiful women, but you can use her ass to plate your dinner! Sorry Jeniffer, you look fabulous from the front, but once you turn sideways or around all you see is a bubble butt.

"feeling compelled to" and actually firing her manager are two different things. the title should match the information given in the article.
