It's been just three months since her split from husband Marc Anthony, but in that short time, Jennifer Lopez has learned a lot about love and what she's looking for in her next relationship. "I think I've finally learned the biggest lesson of all," Lopez tells Glamour magazine, whose December cover the 'On the Floor' singer graces.

"You've got to love yourself first," continues Jennifer. "You've got to be OK on your own before you're OK with someone else. You've got to value yourself and know that you're worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship."

So does the mother of twins, Emme and Max, feel ready to date again, post-break-up? Not likely. Just last weekend, Lopez broke down in tears during an on-stage performance of a song referencing her famous exes -- from Anthony to Diddy.

One things for sure, when Jennifer does feel ready to date again, she'll do her best to keep the new love on the down low! "I think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye," Lopez tells Glamour. "You know the media -- they want to rush everything!"

She's learned a lot about love? Love of whom? The only person she loves is herself. She's manipulating the media, and you guys just follow her, wagging your tails and drooling. Pathetic, at best.

She's really such a nice young woman. She's right about having to love ourselves first. Otherwise, we cling to anyone who comes along thinking they'll make us hapapier when they only make us sadder.

Jenny From the Block needs to go back there!! She just keeps hopping from bed to bed throughout all her marriages and relationships. She's a no talent slut who craves attention ... this is NOT the way to achieve her goals. You are a parent who needs to set proper standards for your children. If you are unable or just don't want to do that, give your children to some folks who desperately want to be parents. Her crying on the stage during her show the other night was just too much - she's crying because no one gives a damn about her and hopefully this new "love" interest has had himself tested for STD's because I'm sure she's passing them around.

Yet ANOTHER divorce....as if anyone did NOT see this coming. Personally I just want my "toaster" that I gave them as a wedding gift back.

`Her life seems to be an epic drama or poor jen. She is a piece of commercial crap who will endorse anything to make a buck. Perhaps if she would find time to be a mother and a woman, she may like herself better.
