J. Lo signs on for new perfume- and mommy-based reality show, I feel concerned

Now listen, I am not a J.Lo hater, in fact I like me some Ms. Lopez more than I should probably admit (I was once so addicted to her My Love Don't Cost a Thing video that I downloaded it to my desktop and watched it maybe 7-14 times a day). But I don't know if I can handle this news: According to People.com, Mrs. Marc Anthony will co-create, co-star and co-produce a "docu-series" about juggling her new role as a mother and the launch her new perfume.
Really J.Lo? You want to sell poor little Max and Emme down the paparazzi river before they can even crawl? I mean, I know you don't need the money. I saw that spread in People where you and Marc A. were prancing around like the richiest rich people in Richtown. And I don't believe your perfumes—I'm sorry, fragrances—need the publicity. I hear in some parts of the world little girls bathe in Glow, just to feel a little closer to your diva-ness.
But my biggest problem with this news—beyond the fact that you might be exploiting your personal life just to hawk a new bottle of scent—is reality TV is the province of D-listers, J.Lo! Did you not hear? You're an A! You dated Diddy when he was kind of badass! You had a memorable sex scene with the Cloon! You were responsible for the total emasculation of a once kind of cute and smart-seeming Oscar winner! You made him kiss your ass on film!
And now, you're swimming with the dregs of reality TV?
Mami, please, no.

    Wow! I didn't hear about J-Lo doing a reality show. Definitely the wrong path for her to go down. She's definitely much better then the crap that's on reality TV. Don't get me wrong... I love watching some reality TV but I just feel reality TV is for nobodies to be discovered; and not for A-Lister's to get some publicity.

    No more reality TV. I'm sick of watching Flavor Flav's ugly ass as well as the MySpace girl Tila Tequila. They are nobodies and I rather watch something educational or a great TV show that is not about people DATING. All they do is have sex with multiple people and that lets us see how easy they are. Tila Tequila kissed at least 10 different people on the season premiere of her new series! Thats nasty. Keep that to yourself and it is not amusing to watch!!!

    As much as I like Jennifer Lopez, hearing this just made me realize what a Diva she really is. I mean, come on, a reality show? It just seems she is screaming for attention here. I feel sorry for her twins already.

    I'll never understand the need to pimp your children for publicity for yourself. It's not like the kids will benefit from any of this. She already has enough money, so that could not possibly be a motivator.

    Plus, is she really "juggling" work and motherhood? How hard can it be for someone who has nannies, chefs, personal trainers, maids, chauffers, personal stylists, etc.

    Trick probably doing this because her Husband owes lots of money in taxes. Yeah juggling twins with the helps of nannies must be real hard what the f ever.

    She didn't make enough from the 6 million People magazine gave her for the baby photos?! Please....she's just greedy. Has she ever given anything to charity? I think this reality show will be a jinx. How many marriages break up due to reality shows? Nick & Jessica, Carmen & Dave, the Hogans.....
