Jennifer Lopez has been a insufferable bitch for years, but it's now rumored that Epic Records and it's parent company, Sony BMG, may be on the verge of dropping Lopez because there's no longer any money in tolerating her anymore. Despite her new album, Brave , only selling 53,000 copies in it's first week and currently sitting at #175 on Amazon's sales chart, Lopez apparently still believes she's an international superstar. MSNBC reports: She costs too much money and doesn't sell enough," says the source, who is familiar with the issue. "Her last album cover alone cost $60,000 in hair and makeup, lighting, photographers, re-touching, etc. The video budget was in the neighborhood of $300,000." And that's just what it costs to get the album out the door. Lopez performed on "Good Morning America" earlier this month, and all the costs were absorbed by the label.
