American TV personality and designer Whitney Port, who rose to fame on The Hills and The City, has slammed the singer for calling photographers on herself.

The former reality star, 39, and her husband, Tim Rosenman, claim they say the On The Floor hitmaker ‘set up’ a shoot in the Hamptons.

Speaking on the, Whitney began in the latest episode: ‘Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton is so special that I’m pretty sure J Lo the other day was riding her bike to get a scoop of ice cream for a paparazzi shot.’

‘Don’t you think that’s what she was doing?’, she asked her other half.

‘A tra-billion percent,’ Tim replied emphatically.

The 42-year-old added that Jennifer ‘did not even go in’ to the eatery but was just ‘there for the exterior shot’.

He then questioned if Jennifer’s behaviour was ‘weird’ and accused the Hustlers actress, 55, of being desperate for attention.

‘She’s already as famous as you can be. Why does she need to stoke the flames of her own fame? Seems unnecessary,’ Whitney agreed.

‘I feel like that’s her vibe. She’s papped everywhere. And she’s always looking hot. And I think her continually looking hot in cute settings is what keeps the machine going.’

Tim replied by saying that he doesn’t see the ‘need to see the machine going’, to which Whitney said: ‘Some people are addicted to it.’

The couple then agreed that they would retire if they had as much money as Jennifer, whose net worth is said to be a staggering $400million (£314.18m).

Adamant that they would have no desire to pursue additional status, they claimed Jennifer is ‘addicted’ to fame.
