Jennifer Lopez Loves Her Bottom

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has recently revealed that she's spending hours in the gym, to work out the shapes of her body, especially her famous bottom.

Jennifer, 36, confessed that she and her personal trainer had developed a special regime of training, which involves squats and weights, to perfectly tone her admired posterior.

She says: "I do special squats and work with loads of weights in the gym to achieve my butt. And in a way I'm kind of flattered when people compliment me for having a big ass."

Jennifer's famously large and shapely rear end has been the subject of much attention and many jokes, as when Chris Rock wisecracked at the MTV Video Music Awards that Lopez in her speech after winning an award "should have thanked her ass".

Lopez herself joked that it's so large and upstanding that it could be used as a tray to serve drinks at parties. (This is a variant on an old joke. Groucho Marx once remarked that the one sister in his otherwise all-brother family had "a rear end that stuck a-way out... you could play pinochle on her rear end!")

In a skit at the MTV Video Music Awards, Triumph, the Comic Insult Dog begged Lopez to let him sniff her bottom, claiming that it was the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest for a dog.

However, Lopez does have her limits. On a Hollywood television gossip show in 2004, a moronic interviewer asked her, "How do you feel about your butt?" Her answer was a steely look, and "I can't believe you're asking me a question like that."
