Jennifer Lopez's Contractor Summoned From Birthday Dinner With His Dying Mother

One finds the best celebrity blind items in the Home & Garden section of the New York Times. Joyce Wadler, who once helmed the newspaper's tepid Boldface Names gossip column, winkled out a delicious anecdote about one of luxury contractor John Finton's most demanding celebrity clients.

"There was, for instance, the female pop singer who requested an evening meeting during the time Mr. Finton’s mother was terminally ill with cancer, about six years ago. It was Mr. Finton’s birthday, and his mother had planned a special dinner. Mr. Finton explained this to the singer’s father, who acted as her on-site representative. A short time later, Mr. Finton got a call: The singer, he was told, would see him that evening. Mr. Finton complied."

Now, Finton—the "Indiana Jones" of luxury contractors—has plenty of celebrity clients; and he doesn't name Connecticut-living Jennifer Lopez. But the new mother-of-two is the only pop diva listed as one of his clients on his website. If she's not the heartless client to whom Finton was referring, he should have realized that hers was the name that would come up with just a few minutes of web research.

I thought she lived in NAssau County? But, yeah if it WAS her or whomever it was, I'd have told them to kiss off. Don't let J-Lo fool ys witht hat coming from the south Bronx crap either. She is from my old neighborhood and I have many friends who went to school with her and worked with her in a law office. She went to a very exclusive private high school. She makes it sound like she crawled out of a dumpster onto that 6 train..

This was from 6 years ago! I am not defending her or anything but who's to say that she even knew he was sitting at his dying mother's bedside? All it says is that he was given an appointment time that was convenient for her. I am sure she is a busy woman and that was a time that worked for her. If he couldn't do it, he should have turned down the job.
