JLo Doesn’t Bring Home the Dough

It has to be rough being Epic Records. They spend a lot of money (and I mean a lot) giving Jennifer Lopez everything she wants with little to receive in return. Well they might be a little slow to catch up, but it looks like they are finally catching on and are finally putting their foot down before the pocketbook busts and they end up bankrupt in the process.

A source says:
“She costs too much money and doesn’t sell enough. Her last album cover alone cost $60,000 in hair and makeup, lighting, photographers, re-touching, etc. The video budget was in the neighborhood of $300,000.”

The money that is being mentioned above is only for the album cost. It leaves out performances that she makes on shows like GMA and other morning shows or talk shows. The entire performance cost of those shows is a total waste for Epic. The problem is not necessarily the performances, but rather the exorbitant costs that seem somewhat unnecessary.

For example, J Lo’s makeup costs close to $8000 a day. I’m sorry, but $8000 a day? I thought my makeup was expensive, but damn for $8000 a day I could become a man with that much makeup. I’d be a whole new person. What is she wearing, a face mask?

To add insult to injury, Brave, Lopez’ new album has not even hit the Billboard top ten. The first week it was available to the public it only sold about 53,000 copies. I hate to say it, but I think even Britney will be selling more than that.
