Jennifer Lopez's Nearly-Naked Catsuit Gets Catcalls

Two days into the New Year and the revealing catsuit Jennifer Lopez wore on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve to sing "Waiting for Tonight" is still causing eyes to roll – in both awe and anxiety.

Though the ABC show's host Ryan Seacrest let the 41-year-old singer know that her outfit "made my year," Alicia Lundgren, a 24-year-old dancer from Philadelphia, told Jenny from the block's hometown paper, the New York Daily News, "There's too many wrinkles. It looks like elephant skin."

Not all the remarks about the ensemble were catty. Some prompted catcalls, including a "Wow" from Jason Ray, 24, a legal assistant from near Times Square, where Thursday's festivities – and the fashion display – took place. "I think she looks good after having twins!" he told the newspaper.

Underneath the sheer garment, Lopez sported little beyond her spangled red-soled Louboutin heels.

And her famous caboose? The News determined it seems to have shrunk. "Did she get butt surgery?" asked a Tweeter.

ABC Drops Adam Lambert Again

Adam Lambert’s racy performance on the American Music Awards has resulted in him (again) being dropped from performing on other ABC shows.

A week after ABC bailed on Adam appearing on Good Morning America, the network has canceled Adam’s scheduled December 17th appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and on the New Years Rockin’ Eve special, the singer confirms yesterday.

Adam delivered the news himself on Wednesday via Twitter: "Yes, sadly friends, ABC has cancelled my appearances on Kimmel and NYE. don’t blame them. It’s the FCC heat. … I AM doing Leno though. And lookin into something for NYE. … It’ll all blow over. Let’s focus on being positive! … Thank you to everyones support of my album! Came in last week at #3!"

Since the American Music Awards, Adam has performed, witbout incident, on both CBS’s The Early Show and on The Late Show with David Letterman.

In a statement to the Los Angeles Times., an ABC spokeswoman made no mention of the FCC and would only explain the network’s decision to disinvite Lambert from performing on “Kimmel” as follows, “We decided not to move forward with the booking at this time.” ABC declined to be interviewed about the issue.
