SCREEN siren Jennifer Lopez's heavenly body was branded an insult to God yesterday.

Billboard posters have appeared all over the country showing the star in a revealing body stocking.

The pictures promoting The Cell, a thriller released on September 15, had men drooling at the amount of flesh on show.

But Jennifer was branded brazen by churchmen, who said the adverts were offensive.

The Newcastle-based Christian Institute, which this week took court action in a failed attempt to ban a sex show, said Lopez should be ashamed.

Director Ian Bainbridge said: "Jennifer Lopez is utterly brazen. She might be happy to be seen like that, but pictures of this type invite men to treat women as sex objects.

"It is degrading to women and it offends God when women allow themselves to be viewed in this way. There is too much nudity and sexual imagery all over this country, particularly on billboard adverts.

"When it is in magazines at least it allows parents to stop their children seeing it.

"But when it is on such public view there is nothing we can do to stop young people being exposed to it."

But, walking past one of the posters in Darlington yesterday, Andrew Johnson, 23, said: "It certainly caught my eye, but that was just because it's Jennifer Lopez really.

"It's pretty revealing, but I couldn't say it was offensive."
