Jennifer Lopez Still On for Triathlon

E! Online - 12th Sep 2008

Jennifer Lopez: Just call her superwoman. For the last two days or so, Jennifer Lopez has had to take a timeout from her training for this weekend's Nautica Malibu Triathlon because of an ankle injury, but that's not stopping her from doing the race.
"She had a slight injury," Lopez's rep tells me, adding, "She will definitely be doing the triathlon. She does not want to let down her charity and all the people who have supported her."
However, she did skip out as celebrity judge at today's taping of the Project Runway finale. Project Runway's very own Tim Gunn filled Lopez's shoes, making it the first time he's ever judged the designers. (Access Hollywood first reported Lopez's cancellation.)
What's been the reaction? Well... Read full story at E! Online
