J. Lo Puts Her Babies to Good Use for Gucci

Oh, Jennifer. We've missed you and your carefree egomaniacal ways that harked back to the days of financial flippancy that was so associated with the early aughts. We remember when, way back in 2000, you swooped upon the Grammys wearing a navel-grazing floral-print green Versace dress that put you on the map. Yes, that was a seminal moment for us as well (we won't even mention our minor obsession with your performance in Selena). After that you rode the wave of self-referentially sexy songs filled with oodles of excess and a smidge of actual talent towards a career that's seemingly lost steam, acquiescing to a life outside of the spotlight -- for now. But what of it? Nowadays talent is a passing concern. Fame thrives on how willing you are to throw yourself at the adoring masses. Now, with her inability to shill herself as a singer nor an actress, what is Jenny from the Block to do? Well, after a marriage to singer Marc Anthony and a string of cinematic flops, J.Lo has finally mapped out her return to cultural pseudo-relevancy: be a judge on the floundering show American Idol and force her kids to pose for the decadent Italian design house Gucci, obviously. It's inspired! Shot by Mert and Marcus, the pics are pretty standard fair, but we love how Jenny proves that she still knows how to work a camera. Those are some smizing skills that are Tyra tested and approved! Ugh, and those kids are cute as kittens! We're glad J.Lo is figuring out a way to whore them out for a couple of bucks. Not that we mind, we'd do the same thing if our little monsters were that adorable (seriously! Max is working those shades).
