Although Mayor Bloomberg and his administration might claim the formation of the New York City Latin Media & Entertainment Commission is to attract Latin media & entertainment opportunities to NY, Gothamist knows better:
- Mayor Bloomberg has "wanted to have J.Lo" for a while
- Huge Hispanic voting bloc needed in order to win re-election
And Mayor Bloomberg got his moment with Jennifer Lopez as he named her honorary chairwoman of the commission. Bless his billionaire heart, Bloomby looks so happy. But Bennifer fans, don't worry, Ben Affleck was at the press conference, though looking constipated/perturbed/haunted. But he did laugh during the press conference. But it wasn't during a Gigli joke; additionally, the press relase doesn't mention the Lopez-Affleck collaboration, Gigli, which leads us to think that Mayor B's team has some smarts. La Lopez, for her part, is excited: "Growing up a Latin girl, a Puerto Rican girl in the Bronx," Lopez said, "I never thought I'd be here next to such greats as (salsa star) Willie Colon [Mayor’s Advisor and Liaison to the Commission] and with the mayor of New York City here at City Hall. It's a real honor for me. I'm just really, really excited to contribute in any way I can. This is my city. I love it. Everything about it is so close to my heart. So I'm just excited to be a part of it. Whatever I can do, call me."
Also, Robert DeNiro is Honorary Chairman of the Commission. Now, we didn't realize DeNiro was Hispanic, but we're sure he could play Hispanic.

what a face from ben. he looks like he is rehearsing for his next bad movie.
I'm telling you: Constipated.
You have got to be FUCKING kidding me.
Is this the same Jennifer Ho-pez who wouldn't fly to New York after September 11th to participate in the launch of her own line of clothes at Bloomies because she was "afraid", while Hollywood types with little or no relation to New York were flying in to show their support? Bloomberg rewards such people for their bravery and their loyalty to our city?
Yeah, you're from the Bronx. I just wish you would stay in California, you overtweezed skank.
Fuck you, J-Ho, you treacherous, evil, high-maintenance cowardly bitch. And fuck you, Mayor Bloomberg, for rewarding such trash with honorary posts while you screw the cops, the firemen, and the residents of this city. The same people who are going to boot your ass out of City Hall so hard, your buttcheeks will need reconstructive surgery.
Apologies for the rant and the sailor-mouth, but you can't taunt me like this, Jen!

If only they were all drinking Snapples.
I hope that in the top picture, Bloomby's left hand is exactly where mine would be. What else is the point of being Mayor of New York City if you can't use totally cosmetic appointments to cop a cheap thrill.
DeNiro "played Hispanic" in the movie "The Mission" a few years ago.
Man, banner ads on the comment page. Jake's MBA studies must really be taking root.
funny top ten from dave on the subject. Top Ten Things Overheard in the Meeting Between Jennifer Lopez and Mayor Bloomberg. my faves:
7. "I'm glad there are no pressing issues facing the city so I can waste my afternoon talking to a pop star"

1. "Would you care to meet the 'Deputy Mayor,' if you know what I mean?"
