Jennifer Lopez recovered quickly from the foot injury that kept her from guest-judging duties at the Project Runway finale Sept 12.The actress/designer/reality show star/new mom completed her much-hyped, first-ever triathlon on Sept. 14. With husband Marc Anthony as well as fellow racer Matthew McConaughey cheering her on, Lopez completed the Nautica Malibu Triathlon in 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 28 seconds.
While the physical feat (and the fact that Lopez raised $127,000 for the Children's Hospital of L.A. in the process) is newsworthy, New Yorkers are still buzzing about Lopez suddenly bailing on her judging duties.
A source close to "Runway" host Heidi Klum says that Klum was furious that Lopez pulled out.
"Heidi went from one big-name judge for the finale to none," the source says. "It was embarrassing, especially the excuse that (Lopez) was hurt."
Lopez is rumored to be throwing a birthday party for husband Anthony back in New York, and, according to the source, "She can forget about Heidi and (husband) Seal attending after this."
One of the rumors swirling around Lopez's sudden injury is that she had no beef with "Project Runway," but instead was angry with The Weinstein Company, which produces the reality show.
"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," the source says. "She was angry, so she pulled out."
Lopez's rep, Leslie Sloane, denied the rumors, saying "(Lopez) pulled out (of "Runway") because she had an injury and had to have it rehabbed so she could compete (in the triathlon)." She went on to say "(Lopez) has no issues with Harvey (Weinstein).
