LONDON, England (AP) -- Jennifer Lopez is canceling a trip to London and her European concert tour because she's too sick to leave Los Angeles, she said Wednesday.

The actress and singer had been scheduled to attend the British charity premiere of her movie "Shall We Dance?" with co-star Richard Gere, but called off the trip at the last minute.

"I very much wanted to be in London today but unfortunately I'm not well," she said in the statement released in London by Buena Vista International, the movie's distributor. "At the advice of my doctors I'm unable to travel. Being sick has also caused me to cancel my European album tour."

"Please accept my sincerest apologies as I have to remain in Los Angeles," the statement said.

Lopez did not specify what was wrong.

The screening was to benefit victims of the Asian tsunami.

She looked incredibly ill on the Grammys, too.

Oh, wait. That was me, listening to her "sing".

WOW that must be killer bird flu...

it's got Michael now J-Lo

i pity the fool that attends the next Ashlee Simpson show i'm sure she'll be next to get sick

Did someone say that J.Lo was supposed to be touring in Europe? Maybe she developed a somewhat rare affliction that only seems to affect musical performers. It was the same disease that caused Christina Aguilera to cancel her solo tour. I think they call it

poorticketsale pharyngitis.

Jlo has never toured before and will probably never, u heard her sing live at the grammys!? The critics would murder her if she took her act on the road (as would the paying public)

She can't keep a vow. Who expected her to commit to a tour? Puh-lease. I saw this one coming a long time ago. Thank goodness she spared the ears of the clueless who were planning to go watch.

Mark my words,J-Lo is NEVER going to do a concert tour and we all know the reason why


She's lazy and doesn't take her music career seriously.Notice that she doesn't even bother to write many of her own songs.She just calls up all the "hot" R&B/hip-hop producers and rappers,and of course,she uses numerous samples.You kinda get the feeling that she just does albums to keep her from getting bored between movies,lol.

JLo IS UP THE DUFF! Come on People!

She's 35, about time she squeezed a few puppies out.

oh fuck no
imagine the thought of mini JLo's and Marc Anthony's running around

This is what they were talking about this morning on the radio stating after she found out that not that many people liked her performance at the grammys and her hubby gave her a reality check and slapped some sense in her brains.
also the other thing was the rumor that she was shhhhh .....
p r e g n a n t <-----well you know how quick some people are to say that about someone.


Shall we dance?

I was guessing that she was knocked up, too. Notice the outfit she had on at the Grammys, which had a huge sash around the middle (to hide the growing bulge,perhaps ?)

Plus, it's not like the Rolling Stones or Prince or U2 or any real musicians cancelled a tour. Nothing to cy about ...

What would a JLo concert be like anyways?
Would it be as tacky as it was on Sunday with a whole bedroom scene set up???

I still can't get that horrible note she tried to hit out of my head.

Yeah, if she only had the flu or something, then seems to me concerts would be postponed or something, rather than completely cancelled. I'm bettin' she's preggers, too. I agree about that outfit on the Grammys hiding something. . .when's the last time we've seen Miz Lopez in anything that loose and baggy around the middle?

Anyway, like we've said. . .no biggie.

Man, the moment I heard her say that she was going to tour I thought "Bitch, you a liar" I really don't like J-Lo. She belongs on the poster of fake-ass pop singers along with Ashley Simpson, and the queen of them all Britney Spears. The Grammy's said it all on Sunday. Why can't the public see this? Watch her be on the Top 5 of the album charts when the new CD drops on March 5th. It's a fucking shame I tell you.

that flu has got it out for stars on their way down

purplecam said:

that the reason i started this thread....there was one a few weeks back about her starting a tour and everybody on it predicted she would cancel for one reason or another...

J-Lo traveling and performing night after night giving back to people who boost her record sales...never gonna happen

By the way she's gonna be in a Pepsi commercial with Beyonce & David Beckham??

When was the European concert supposed to start...seems a bit premature just because she is sick now. J. Lo, will you ever tour?

I would think that a big pop star's tour would tend to be critic proof. Where the reviews for Cher and Madonna glowing? If people wanted to see J. Lo sing live, critics be damned...I just think that if she was going to have a succesfull tour, it was really going to happen in 2001 when her songs were topping the charts and she didn't have so much scandal and hatred around her. People just really don't like her now.
