Pop diva and actress Jennifer Lopez claims that her image saturation in the media is to blame for not allowing her to have a more diverse movie career.

According to the Internet Movie Database, she found it easier to convince her directors for a role when she was a relative unknown. She landed parts in movies like "Out Of Sight" and "U Turn".

But in more recent times, rumours that she is a stuck-up diva and her off screen romances have made it difficult for filmmakers to discern between fact and fiction.

She says, "In the beginning, I was a blank slate. I got to work with all these great directors because I was just a girl who came in there and did well in the audition. Then when I became famous, I was being offered movies that I could star in but that's all I was being offered. When I think I should be seeing the big directors, they don't even consider me. They see me as a sexy singer and too much in the media."
