Jenny and Rosie from the Block have something else in common - they don't like each other very much it seems. Rosie Perez tells all in her memoirs about her ongoing feud with Jenny from the block. Both Jennifer Lopez and Rosie Perez mt when they auditioned for Fly Girl dancers on the popular In Living Color 90's show. According to the New York Post, excerpts from Rosie Perez book  reveals the following:

1) Rosie Perez says she as responsible for JLo being part of the Fly Girl dancers as she encouraged the producer to hire Jennifer Lopez.
2) Keenan Ivory Wayans, who was the chows host and producer did not want Jennifer Lopez , according to the book, since he thought she was "chubby and corny"
3) The girls complained to Rosie about Jennifer Lopez saying that she was manipulating
4) That Lopez screamed at Rosie using some choice expletives
5)That Lopez made disparaging comments about Perez after leaving the show

If this is all true, my question is why reveal it now. It appears that someone is jealous of someone's success and can't seam to "get over it" This alleged feud between Lopez and Perez seems like typical interpersonal issues common in and work situation. The fact the Rosie Perez, after a decade and a half still appears  to harbor resentment about the relationship does reek of sour grapes.
