Although her pregnancy was very much speculated and followed, it turns out Jennifer Lopez doesn't appeal that much to Americans as much as we all thought. According to MSNBC.com, the very-soon-to-be mama of twins isn't very saleable in the U.S. market as she is internationally.
A source from the magazine industry told the website: "Look at her track record with her movies, and look at her album sales. The U.S. market hasn't been fascinated with her in some time."
The Latina singer/actress has reportedly signed a deal with People magazine for $6 million just to be the first to snap her first-born twins, but that is only for the right to publish the pictures in the United States. While OK! magazine confirms that their photos will publish in their 15 international editions. That had raised the question why didn't OK! bought the pictures for a U.S. release?
"It makes more sense to not spend a fortune on photos that won't cause a noticeable increase on the newsstand. This just isn't going to sell like Shiloh (Jolie-Pitt), and $6 million is a lot of money," the source continues.
Another source agrees, "There's a real difference between U.S. appeal and international appeal, and most celebrities don't really understand that."
