Not the reaction she was hoping for! J.Lo shows off extension-free hair as she gets confetti-bombed at LAX by a clown

A tattooed clown surprised Jennifer Lopez by confetti-bombing her inside LAX terminal on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old pop diva was not amused as she removed tiny pieces of colourful paper out of her extension-free locks.

But the two-time Grammy nominee’s cropped, Michael Kors blue-knit jumper was still covered in confetti.

Jennifer managed to keep her composure and simply shook off the bizarre incident and checked into TSA security.

Her assailant was none other than Richie the Barber, a fame-hungry 29-year-old who works at Bolt Barbers in Los Angeles.

Last year, the serial prankster – born Esposito – pulled the same exact stunt on Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian in West Hollywood.

In April 2014, the reality star sisters were confetti bombed by the tattooed clown after a spot of shopping at The Rug Company.

As Khloe swiftly reacted by trying to brush it off, Kourtney did not even break a stride as she continued to walk back to her car.

Of course the whole incident was filmed for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, so it may have been set up rather than a spontaneous incident.

According to Rumor Fix, Richie has been banned from The Grove mall and often gets charged with stalking/battery but ‘always gets off the hook.’

The inked-up jokester has also reportedly confetti-bombed Audrina Patridge and Lindsay Lohan twice at court.

Lopez also attracted attention by revealing her natural bob, which is an incredibly rare sight.

When it comes to the public, the American Idol judge normally only rocks top-buns or her signature waist-length hair extensions.

The last time JLo showed the world her real, wavy tresses was way back in December for a few Instagram selfies.

The Home actress will soon display her real hair in the gritty vigilante thriller Lila & Eve, which hits US theaters July 31.

In it, Jennifer reunited with her Out of Sight co-star Viola Davis to play grieving mothers out for justice.

For her flight, the Try Me singer bared her taut abs in throwback flared blue jeans and hidden platforms.

The Bronx beauty never removed her shades and she toted a very expensive black Hermès Birkin bag.

Not seen with Lopez Tuesday were her on/off toyboy Casper Smart and her twins Emme and Max, 7, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Jennifer was flying to Morocco, as when she touched down on Wednesday she shared an Instagram photo looking relaxed in the passenger seat of a car.

She captioned the shot: ‘And we’re here!!! Hello Morocco!!’, and did appear to have changed into a different albeit similar sweater.

The star looked picture perfect despite the long flight, as she took the ride next to a mystery male companion.

The former Fly Girl will soon begin filming her next role as Manhattan detective and single mother Harlee Santos in the 13-episode NBC drama Shades Of Blue.

Jennifer kicks off her 20-show Las Vegas residency at the AXIS in Planet Hollywood on January 20.

And the Feel the Light singer is also set to return as judge for the 15th and final season of American Idol on Fox.
