Tell Us What You Think
10JLO is retire? Thank God is about time!She can't sing or act. She is always on the street and eating out with her ulgy husband. Who is taking care of her kids.. THE NANNY!!!!!
Love Melissa...am sure she'll be awesome!
LOL! 40 is the retirement age now huh...interesting. Try telling that to Steven Tyler, Jon Bon Jovi, Bono and so many other great musicians. Music is an art that knows no age boundaries. Jennifer Lopez is a talented singer and actress and I hope she sticks around for a long time! Also, as far as Melissa Rycroft goes, plenty of people in the 'business' have gotten odd starts, why not her? I find her quite likeable and think she will do a great job ringing in the New Year. I hope she has a very successful career in all she does!
Jlo is a great performer and I'm tired of people saying that she is too old to be doing music. Those people are crazy thinking that 40 is too old. Jlo is still beautiful and very talented. She deserves all the success that she has received. 40's is when your life begins because you truly know what is important in life and you are not as superficial like most teens, 20's and some people in their 30's. Grow up haters!!
JLO is overrated and really not that talented and her choice of dressing is too young for her. She is past her time-paid her dues and should retire and enjoy he children. Melissa who!
Melissa Rycroft. Really? A celebrity? She got dumped on national television and now she's a "star"? Not hardly.
It will be nice to see Melissa!
Jennifer who?
Great news! Really looking forward to kicking off 2010 with Melissa Rycroft, Ryan, Jennifer and Dick! Excellent news from ABC!
Nice! Will be fun to see Melissa.
