I wasn't/am never her fan. But I kind of feel sorry for her after her seemingly SUDDEN
divorce husband MARC ANTHONY. SUDDENLY, SHE'S EVERYWHERE! MAGAZINE
ADS, TV ADS, ON SCREEN in MOVIE THEATERS, I mean EVERYWHERE!!!
But I love Paula too! <3
It does not mean age of a person, but a person of any age.
Love me some Tina!!!
She's a bad mamajama!
