Jennifer Lopez should have been beaming like a Cheshire cat as she sat in one of the padded leather chairs in the Business Class departure lounge of Thai Airways at LAX.
Finally enjoying some much needed vacation time of her own, the wealthy and beautiful actress was about to fly long distance from Los Angeles to Bangkok, via Hong Kong, to indulge in two weeks of solitude and relaxation.
The curvaceous Latino looked positively royal in her most stunning mini dress.
The purple Givenchy sheath outfit hugged every breathtaking line of her desirable figure, and the tantalizing lace up front was daringly opened at the very top of her ample bosom. On her feet she wore an expensive pair of Giuseppi Zanotti stiletto sandals in matching purple.
Instead, her initial excitement had been slightly marred by the sight of one of her long time and most hated rivals, Salma Hayek, entering the very same lounge.
She hoped and prayed the loathsome Mexican bitch wasn't sharing her flight today.

Salma peered over the top of her wide lens Bulgari sunglasses and hissed in disgust. Her exotic dark brown eyes flashed with hatred before she covered them again and straightened her edgy brown leather jacket.
"I'm the best there is," said Lopez once in an interview with the New York Daily Post. "If you have the goods, then there is nothing to be afraid of. If somebody doesn't, well, they're insecure. I don't have that problem, I'm not but close. Salma Hayek? Please, I really don't know a thing she ever did."
The words were ringing in Salma's ears even now as she took a seat as far as possible from the simpering fat bitch.
She was returning to one of her favourite exotic destinations and was flying Thai Airways once more.
The Royal Orchid International departure lounge was delightfully lavish yet tranquil in comparison to most other business lounges.
On offer were a selection of food and desserts, including hot soup, shumai, eggs, sandwiches, and fresh fruit.
"Oh, waiter? Get me a Tequila Sunrise. In a tall glass."
If she was thinking the same thing that Lopez was thinking, then this may be a very long flight.

In fact it does take over 21 hours from LAX to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, with one stopover in Hong Kong.
Boarding had already begun at six when the tardy Jennifer Aniston hurried to the gate to board the Thai Airways Airbus A380.
Thankfully there was no one in line at the check out counter and the friendly Thai agents rushed the lithe actress to the appropriate door.
Jennifer looked rather fetching despite her haste in a pair of casual blue jeans and black leather biker jacket.
Her athletic figure defied her years, and she still turned heads her way wherever she went.
"So sorry, excuse me, I do beg your pardon."
Jen looked for her seat in Business Class and noted that the preflight drinks were already being collected by the in-flight staff.
The seating on this slightly older A380 was in a 2x2x2 configuration except for her row which had three seats side by side.
"Oh, is that me?"
Jen removed her shades and peered down at the middle unoccupied seat between two rather peeved looking females. None other than Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek.
"Shit," she uttered under her breath as she climbed in and fastened her lap strap.
She struggled to stow her treats, that is a pair of slippers, amenity kit, headphones, and pillows.
As the aircraft taxied to the runway the attendants handed out pajamas for the long fifteen hour non stop flight to Hong Kong.
"Could you please pass these along."
Salma, in the aisle seat visibly seethed as she arrogantly tossed the neat package across Jennifer Aniston and onto the lap of the outraged Lopez.
"Watch it!"
"Whatever!"
"What was that?"
"Girls, girls. Chill out. We have long way to go yet. Let's try to make this trip somewhat bearable, hmm?"
Jennifer Lopez felt the muscles in her neck tense into hard cords as anger coursed through her.
Trapped in her seat as the plane ascended over Los Angeles the roar of the engines and the change in air pressure soothed angry chests to a degree.

After a half hour it was plain to see that the entertainment software was acting up, and sure enough the Captain came on the coms to announce that there would be some delay in downloading the needed program to reboot the system.
"Oh, great! Stuck in this flying prison for fifteen fucking hours with just one copy of Hello magazine to read."
Hayek huffed and stole a half lidded glance at the window seat occupied by Lopez.
"Hello? Is that the one with me in it?"
Jennifer Aniston made an attempt to grab the half folded magazine only to be abruptly brushed aside.
"Keep your hands to yourself, man-stealer!"
Salma's lustrous hair bounced as she sat up straight in her seat and grasped Jennifer's wrist firmly.
"A what?"
"I really thought he was the one, you know? Until you came along."
Salma pouted and bounced back hard against the back of her seat.
"Are we talking about Gerald Butler?"
"Si! What he saw in a skinny milk bottle white bitch like you beggars belief."
"Trust me, sister. He saw a LOT in me. He knew something good when I landed in his lap."
Jennifer looked up and reflected on the time she had dated Gerald for a while. It had come soon after Brad and the sex had been hot and heavy.
There had been nothing romantic between them, it had been just a physical relationship with a handsome man on her part.
"Huh! SHE is one to talk about stealing men. She took Ben away from me!"
Jennifer Lopez bent forward and pointed a long index finger at her bitter rival, Salma, her rage too powerful to contain.
When Lopez had dated Ben Affleck their high profile romance had been one of the most talked about of the time.
The co-stars-turned-lovers were one of the first celebrity couples to have a mashed up name, that being 'Bennifer.'
Before they had married she suspected that Hayek had stolen the desirable actor from under her nose.
"Yeah, what was that all about?" Quipped Aniston with a coy smile at the Mexican born movie star. "Wasn't that around the time you both made Dogma?"
"That's right," agreed Lopez. "Then YOU stole him from HER when you made He's Just Not That Into You. Skinny whore!"
"Oh, that."
"I need to move seats."
Lopez pressed her button for attendance and a smiling Thai female staff member duly arrived.
"How may I help?"
