How Lopez Lost Vogue Cover

The New York Post reports that while Jennifer Lopez is blaming her former manager Benny Medina for costing her the cover of Vogue, in fact it was Vogue editrix Anna Wintour who decided J.Lo was too low-class. “Jennifer was styled by all of their top stylists. They brought the clothes, did her hair, everything,” said an insider. “She was supposed to be ‘The Millennium Girl’ and it was going to be huge. But then nothing happened. Benny called Anna’s office and she didn’t call him back, because she had decided Jennifer ‘wasn’t Vogue material.’ ” Vogue rep Patrick O’Connell says the scrapped ’99 cover did happen, but things have changed since then. “From the beginning, we always said it was a cover try and that it might not work out,” he said. “As it happened, the sitting didn’t come together and we weren’t able to run the pictures. It was no fault of anyone’s, the pictures just didn’t work.” Meanwhile, it appears Medina and J.Lo are “on the verge of a settlement” in their bitter legal feud after his firing.
