Rosie Perez delivered a backhanded smackdown/compliment to her erstwhile pal Jennifer Lopez in an interview in Out magazine. Perez says that while Keenan Ivory Wayans typically takes credit for discovering the unknown dancer, Lopez, and making her a Fly Girl, it was actually Rosie who hired her.

In fact, Wayans called Lopez "overweight, and said she couldn't dance well," but Rosie says she saw "star quality" in her.

The rest is history.


That's Jenny on the left.
