Tribarazzi: Joline Gutierrez Krueger

Who is that little doggie and other random thoughts

It's just after 7 p.m. Monday and the cast and crew of "Bordertown" is still hard at work. I understand now why so many stage folks wear hiking boots. This running around and standing is murderous on my sandaled feet.
While I am resting my tootsies, a few random thoughts:

I saw no less than five people this morning escorting a little Pomeranian pooch around the grassy areas by our parking lot and wondered, who is that little doggie? Is it Jennifer Lopez's pet? The five pet walkers looked at me funny when I asked, as if I had just asked them whether the dog was for dinner.

The first glimpse of Jennifer Lopez by Tribune reporters came with a clatter of her high heels and an intoxicating whiff of cologne. Was it Glow or Still she was wearing? I couldn't tell. I have a nose for news, not eau de parfum.
Lopez entered our newsroom in pin curls, but even so she carried herself like a diva, followed by her entourage of handlers and two very large body guards (the one with the tattoo seared on his skull is actually a sweetie). Trying to guess what style might emerge from the pin curls was for naught as the next time Lopez was seen her hair was bound up in a clip with one tendril hanging in front for that "I have been working on a big story all day and haven't had time to look in a mirror and yet I am still beautiful" look. Why does my hair never look like this after a long day? Or a short one, even?

Director Gregory Nava seems like such a nice, caring, nurturing director. You don't hear him screaming orders. Instead, it's just gentle encouragement, like "That's OK, we'll try it again" or "It's real complicated work so let's keep quiet so we can do our work" or, his apparent fave, "when it feels right." He even massaged Jennifer Lopez's temples after she finished a grueling scene.

The New York Post is reporting that Lopez is having a hissy fit, that she made filmmakers put her up in a "villa" instead of the digs she was in and that she didn't like the trailer on set. From what I can tell, her trailer looks about as nice as everybody else's. It's a Teton Homes, the "Number One Pick of the Stars," its Web site says.
Don't know where she is staying off set (and if I did I wouldn't tell you). The call sheet lists her only as staying at a "Residence." Someone tell me where they built all the villas in Albuquerque.

I have to ask again: Why the knit beanie, Marc Anthony? We can't see your curls and it's 93 blazing degrees.
