Me, Knock J-Lo? Sure, why not! Not that good 
a singer or an actor. Not even that pretty (imho).
By "made it" you mean "became rich" -- and there
is only one way to do that! By exploiting others
(either directly or indirectly). Real heroes are
those who work their arses off without getting rich
out of it -- for example, those hispanic women who
bring up their families in difficult circumstances,
those who put their jobs on the line by joining a
union, and so on...

If you looked like that, I would suggest a visit to the
doctors! Men are not meant to look that way Dave... :)
