But hey, Britney has already done all that spiralling, so who knows with her?
Really though, I just don't see the point of ridiculous titles like that, they are obvs meaningless...

There's actually something quite touching about the whole thing.

Sotomayor is a distinguished judge, not an entertainer. I don't care if she and Lopez went to the same school, lived on the same block, played on the same swing...the only reason anyone is comparing them is because for plenty of people Jennifer Lopez is the only Boricua they know of in existence. This whole giving her an entertainer's nickname is a vaguely racist way of saying- "See, she shouldn't be taken seriously. She's just So-So from the block."
When have people looked at a white person in political power, and tried to compare them to some entertainer except in cases where there was a clear (and amusing) physical resemblance? So, please, give me a break with that "their lives are so similar" crap. How incredibly unique to be a brown person from New York who had a tough upbringing. If she was Mexicana (which is like the 'official' Latino to some of these conservatives), people would really be acting up; in fact, I'm sure some of them really don't know/care about the difference.

"Hey man, it's Bob Dylan!" etc.
I was had a group of Japanese tourists walk by me in SoHo, and amongst the Japanese I didn't understand I distinctly heard the words 'Bob Dylan.'
I'm Jewish, so I might call them all racists... if I didn't think Bob Dylan was hot.

*drinks more coffee (I start work at 11, this is my morning).

I'm assuming you're not a chick. Then the Dylan comparison might be weird.
