The Plot Thickens!

We thought it was fishy that Jennifer Lopez dropped out of judging the Project Runway season finale due to a "foot injury," but when she competed in the Malibu Triathlon just days after making the announcement, we knew something was up.
MSNBC is reporting that J. Lo didn't have a problem with Heidi Klum and the Project Runway crew, but rather with The Weinstein Company, who produces the hit reality show. According to a source, "Jennifer was hoping for a part in an upcoming Weinstein film, and she was told the day before [the 'Project Runway' show] that she wasn't getting it. She was angry, so she pulled out." Ahh, hence the convenient "foot injury" excuse! But if her foot was in such bad shape, isn't it kind of a miracle she was able to run 4 miles, bike 18 miles and swim half a mile in under two and a half hours?
J. Lo's publicist, Leslie Sloane said, "[Lopez] pulled out because she had an injury and had to have it rehabbed so she could compete [in the triathlon]." She added, "[Lopez] has no issues with Harvey [Weinstein]." Uh huh.
