    Oh please, Jennifer Lopez throwing a party for Sotomayor. Lopez doesn't even know too much about Puerto Rico. For a Memorial for Celia Cruz, she couldn't even speak Spanish. She thinks she is "Boricua" because she is married to Marc Anthony. Now, he knows about about being Puerto Rican. I just think she is fake.
