IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Rosie Perez Reveals Bitter Fly Girl Feud With J.Lo! + Meagan Good LANDS Leading Role In "Babylon Fields"

Rosie Perez opens up about her long-standing feud with Jennifer Lopez in her new memoir.  Read an except inside and get the deets on Meagan Good’s new television show. 

In her new memoir, “Handbook for an Unpredictable Life” (due Feb. 25th), actress and former "In Living Color" choreographer Rosie Perez revealed that she and former "Fly Girl" Jennifer Lopez haven’t seen eye-to-eye since their "In Living Color" days. In an except published by the NY Post, Rosie reveals that she started out as a champion and supporter of J Lo (even convincing Keenan Ivory Wayans to hire her), but their relationship soured because of her diva ways.

“All of the girls were coming into my office complaining how she was manipulating wardrobe, makeup, and me, all to her advantage,”

Rosie says Jennifer even snapped on her one day,

“You pick on me, me and only me, every f–king day! Every f–king day! I work my ass off, deliver and you keep pushing me aside, treating me like sh-t! I know I’m good! I’m better than any of these girls, and you know it,” Lopez roared.

After J.Lo left the show, Rosie "thought" they were cool until Jenny From The Block blasted her in a magazine.

“I was blindsided,” writes Perez. “I’d thought we were cool. I called her up. She wouldn’t pick up. Frustrated, I left her an irate message on her answering machine. Instead of calling me back and hashing it out like friends do, she went on a major talk show and reiterated my lashing,”

Unfortunately, the two bumped into each other, months later, and it wasn’t pretty. 

“Jennifer came over to me, smiling, saying hello as if nothing had happened. I should’ve let it go, played it off, too. Instead, I killed her with my biting tongue,”

Also, Rosie revealed that Jennifer was asked to lose 20lbs before she was hired and some "In Living Color" castmates thought she was "corny."

In new gigs……

Although NBC cancelled Meagan Good’s show Deception, the peacock network still believes in her star power and has cast her in a leading role for a new series called "Babylon Fields."  According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series goes down like this:

The Gerald Cuesta series "…centers on the dead rising again in Babylon, N.Y., where lives are regained, old wounds are reopened and families are restored — for better or worse. The newly regenerated bodies are healing faster and growing stronger, prompting discussion that this might be the next step in human evolution."

Hmmm….it sounds like Meagan will be taking a dive into science fiction with this new gig.   Her character is Janine Beltran, "a beautiful local doctor." The series pilot will be written by Gerald Cuesta and directed by Michael Cuesta for 20th Century Fox Television.

In other news, Meagan and her husband DeVon Franklin will be featured speakers at the Mount Zion Baptist Church "2014 Relationship Summit" in Nashville, TN on Feb. 22nd.  Looks like Meagan will be putting on her church lady hat for that one….
