Personal Quotes (30) I thought she'd offer me some sympathy. Instead, she said, "Don't you ever call me crying again! You wanted to be in this business, so you better toughen up!". And I did. [to Redbook magazine August 1999, on the lesson in tough love she got from her mother] You laugh it off, you get upset for a little while, you're human and you let it go. [on the "outrageous" tabloid stories she hears about herself, at a press conference to discuss her movie, The Cell (2000) in August 2000] (on The Cell (2000)) This film certainly is not meant for the girls who sing along with my songs. I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it's all just one thing. (upon being asked what she got on her SAT's) Nail polish. [when asked if she ever feels insecure] When I'm not prepared, which is almost never.

I don't really check out other people's butts. I'm not mad about my ankles - they're too skinny. We've all had a love of our life and failed love affairs. I'm just the biggest romantic - it's really sad. I tell people that, but nobody listens. I've always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I'm most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It's why we seek the limelight - so we're not alone, were adored. Were loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life. In every movie, they want you to look as thin as you can look. In Selena (1997), it was the other way around: "How can we shoot her butt so it looks like Selena's?". I only do what my gut tells me to. I think it's smart to listen to other people's advice, but at the end of the day, you're the only one who can tell you what's right for you. If you focus on the money, you're not going to get anywhere.

You can want to be successful, but at the end of the day, if money is your motivation, if that's how shallow your outlook is on life, then you're going to be such an empty person. Because there's nothing driving you from the inside -- there's no passion... My mom always told me that if you work hard, you can achieve anything. And it's true. It's one of the truest things ever. I think crossroads come at many times during your life. Up to this point, I've had several. You get to a certain point in your life and you're like, Am I supposed to be doing this? And it's usually in the face of some failure - something that didn't work out the way you wanted it to. And you're faced with a decision: Do I keep trying to do this or do I give up? Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, "Until you're twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve", and I really loved that - the idea that you wear who you are on your face.

If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else. I was in third grade when Rapper's Delight changed my life. But, when I came home, my mother would be listening to Celia Cruz , Tito Puente , Diana Ross . I want to include all those elements in my music. I didn't expect it to happen like this, wrapping one film and flying out to do a new one the next day. But I'm fresh enough and ambitious enough to stay up all night for the sake of a job. I'm not gonna take it easy. I want to do so much more when I'm getting these great opportunities. I'm trying to get the focus back on what I do as an artist, not what I do at home. It was all a bit mad. For a girl like me, wearing gorgeous clothes and having all this attention was amazing. It was like being a princess. But it didn't take me long to realise that that sort of fame can be scary.

The more the circus builds up around you, the more you start to lose all those intentions that get you there in the first place. I was always about being a good performer and working hard, doing movies, making music, but that started to get lost in all that crazy stuff. I throw myself into love because I believe in it, but when things don't work you have to take responsibility. You all know things have gone wrong for me. Everybody has laughed, everybody has had a knock at me. It hurts, it always does. There have been times when I didn't want to be me any more. From the outside looking in, it may have appeared that it was a glamorous exciting life, but I would have swapped places with anybody. It really did start to get to me and the easy thing to do would be to walk away. I'm not J.Lo, she's not a real person. She was just a bit of fun that got really crazy. I've never been anyone but Jennifer. I was going to call the album "Call Me Jennifer" because that would be my way of saying goodbye to the whole J.Lo thing. But "Rebirth" is perfect because it means so much more. It's business.

Once they stop making money off you, they'll stop coming around. Part of my business is about being in shape and looking good. You can't lie to yourself about it. But I'm not the monster I used to be in the exercise department. You get past your 20s, you've got kids... you're kind of unmotivated. You want to be healthy and look good, but you want to do the least amount to maintain that. [2011] When I moved out to L.A. for the first time to do In Living Color (1990), my grandmother and my aunt all came to visit me in the first week. And I thought, "This is really weird." But, they just wanted to see that I was living in a nice place. At that time, it was like, "Why are they visiting me already? I'm not even settled in." I didn't have furniture or anything. We all slept on the floor. Now that I think back, it was great. Everyone wants a miracle cream, but there's no substitute for feeling great inside. I've made a ton of mistakes, but you need the messy stuff; you learn from it. I keep dancing.

I may not be getting all the steps right, yet, but I'm dancing my heart out! It has always bugged me that people would try to think that there's a "next Selena." It's like saying there's another James Dean or Marilyn Monroe. People like that don't come along every day. There is never going to be another Selena. Salary (20) Jennifer Lopez News, Pictures, and Videos | E! News Jennifer Lopez - Jennifer Lopez has been called many things—J.Lo, Jenny from the Block, one-half of Bennifer and more. When named "World's Most Beautiful Woman" by PEOPLE in 2011, Jennifer admitted keeping up with her world famous figure is "part of my job. I don't want anybody thinking it's easy. It does take time and it's hard work. HDTV wide-screen is nobody's friend!" Along with that body that just won't quit, Lopez has kept the public's attention with her acting work, as well as her high-profile relationships, her fab fashion sense and her music. Lopez's strong work ethic began while growing up in the Bronx, as little J and her sisters put on shows at home.

Determined to make it big, Lopez moved to Manhattan on her own, performing in musicals until she got her first big break busting moves as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color. Jennifer's breakthrough acting role was in the biopic Selena, where Lopez brought the tragically murdered Tejano pop singer back to life. Hot on the heels of movie stardom, Jennifer made a seamless transition into music…and becoming known as J.Lo. On the 6 was released in 1999, and the single "If You Had My Love" went platinum within two weeks. With J.Lo's famous dancing background and her fiercely sexy attitude, it's only natural that her music videos solidified her image as a bona fide diva. And only someone like Jenny would flaunt her latest boy toys in her seductive videos. Take for example Sean "Puffy" Combs' "Been Around the World" video in which the rapper saved Jen's life. The hip-hop mogul and J.Lo were together for almost three years, a time that included Lopez debuting her infamous plunging green Versace dress before they called it quits. On set of the video "Love Don't Cost a Thing", J.Lo met dancer Cris Judd.

The pair married in 2001, but they split a year later. Shortly after the divorce, Jen publicly stepped out with Gigli costar, Ben Affleck, who made a cameo in "Jenny From the Block." Thus, the romantic couple known as Bennifer was born as was the growing trend of blending celeb couples' names. Shortly after breaking up with Affleck, Lopez hooked up with her old flame, Marc Anthony. Back in 1999 the Latin lovers made sweet music together with "No Me Ames," and the reunited pair got married in 2004. Then in 2008 Marc and Jennifer made two sweet babies named Max and Emme. After seven years of marriage, the pair called it quits. Since then, the multihyphenate has been linked to Casper Smart, a back-up dancer from J.Lo's music video "Dance Again." Jennifer Lopez has had a lot on her plate, but that doesn't mean she's not willing to try new things, like her season as a judge on American Idol.

In 2011, Jennifer left her seat next to Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler on Idol, and in 2012 has embarked on an international tour with Enrique Iglesias. On the side, Jen has a clothing line, a multitude of perfumes, and endorsements. Millions of albums sold and countless films later, it's safe to call Jennifer Lopez one busy woman.

Lo by Jennifer Lopez on Apple Music 16 Songs Album Review Most snickered when Jennifer Lopez made her pop move in 1999, figuring that it was no more than a one-off vanity project. As it turns out, she was as serious about her pop career as she was about acting, and even if she didn't possess a particularly distinguished voice, she was earnest and had some good mainstream pop singles, delivered with some seriously sexy videos. On the Six was big enough of a success to raise expectations for its sequel, J-Lo, the first self-styled blockbuster of 2001. Essentially, this is the same album as On the Six, only a little longer with a little less focus and not as many memorable songs.

This lack of winning singles becomes a drag, since at over an hour, the record meanders much longer than it should. Yet, meander isn't really the right word, because the album sets its tone from the start, with the ingratiating "Love Don't Cost a Thing." From that point on, the tinny, skittering drum machines, smooth mid-range, and alluringly thin vocals remain the same from song to song, with the occasional Latin cut thrown in to vary the rhythm somewhat. Since both the production and Lopez play it cool, not hot, and there's not that many hooks, it all tends to blend together. Those that have hooks need a couple of spins before they catch hold, whether it's the aforementioned lead single "Love Don't Cost a Thing," "I'm Real," "Play," or "We Gotta Talk." Lopez's strong suit remains dance tunes, not ballads, which tend to disappear in this reserved production and mannered vocals (no more so than "Secretly," which never seems to gel). So, J-Lo winds up as musically a mixed bag.

Its longer running time makes it a little less appealing than its predecessor, yet it has just about the same number of strong songs, all of which sounding of a piece with On the Six, which makes it a success on a certain level. Still, there's this certain feeling of staid complacency and ordinariness that makes J-Lo feel less fun than her debut. Customer Reviews by albinmougeotte This album is the best album that I've ever heard! I don't think that anyone can do better. All the songs are amazing, I wish i could find another album like that. I love you Jlo!!! It's really good by TheMusicMan Walking On Sunshine is amazing. it's all really good stuff. J.Lo has done a good job on this one. GOOD SINGLES....BAD RECORD.... by PROMO_MUSIC_PLUS it's clear that J.LO is the album that established JENNIFER LOPEZ as a mediocre singer in the worlds eyes. Many consider this to be her greatest album but this is in fact incorrect.

It's her most popular due to it's singles including "LOVE DON'T COST A THING", "PLAY", "I'M REAL", "AIN'T IT FUNNY" and "I'M GONNA BE ALRIGHT", which believe me are the only smart songs on here that actually work. There's a couple others like "Walking on Sunshine" and "that's not me" which are alright, but the bottom line is this record as a whole isnt' impressive. HOWEVER, the singles are among some of her best work ever. I would highly recommend the first group listed above. But i'd stay clear of the rest of this.... it's over-processed and not that impressive. I expected more from this woman after her strong debut ON THE 6, which was highly influenced by her heritage. JLO is simply to Britney Spearsish...... not good enough for Jennifer.

Lopez also launched a music career, and her albums include On the Six (1999), J.Lo (2001), Brave (2007) and Como Ama una Mujer (2007). Her engagement to actor Ben Affleck in 2002 resulted in the of-the-moment combined moniker “Bennifer.” The pair never married, and ended their relationship in January 2004.

Jennifer Lopez Pictures, News, Gossip & Rumours - AskMen AskMen Messages You have no messages Notifications You have no notifications Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez is the multifaceted entertainment dynamo who is best-known for her dance skills as an In Living Color "Fly Girl," her successful singing career from tracks like "If You Had My Love" and "Jenny From the Block," and her respectable film career that's included roles in Selena, Out of Sight, The Cell, The Back-Up Plan and What to Expect When You're Expecting. There's also the famous matter of her billion-dollar booty. While J.Lo (as she prefers not to be called anymore) has shown staying power in an industry that prefers overnight success to long-term success, the disaster of Bennifer and a little bomb called Gigli almost ruined it for her. With the release of her seventh studio album, Love?, her hit singles "On the Floor" and "Dance Again" featuring Pitbull and her two-year stint as an American Idol judge, Jennifer Lopez remains a triple threat in film, music and bootyliciousness, which pop culture continues to embrace. Appeal Like a fine wine, Jennifer Lopez seems to get curvier and better with age.

With the most famous rear curves in show business, she's a living example of the "back" that Sir Mix-A-Lot used to rave about, and she's made it more than cool (and actually red hot) for women to have splendid junk in the trunk. The only woman so far to top the list of FHM's "100 Sexiest Women" on two different occasions, Lopez is still the most recognizable and most worshiped Latin American celebrity on the planet, whether she's walking toward you or walking away. In the arena of celebrity relationships, Jennifer Lopez is right up there with classic dame Elizabeth Taylor when it comes to love, marriage and drama. After a brief marriage to Miami waiter Ojani Noa that ended in 1998, Lopez hooked up with Sean Combs , only to get mixed up in a nightclub shooting and subsequent criminal trial.

The marriage bolt struck again between Jennifer Lopez and one of her dancers, Cris Judd, but that, too, ended in failure, which led her into the arms of Ben Affleck and one of the most talked-about celebrity relationships -- "Bennifer." A relationship that promised marriage ended in heartbreak and was a coupling that put a serious dent into both of their respective careers until they broke up and the media frenzy moved on to "Brangelina." Jennifer Lopez married singer Marc Anthony , and had two children (twins) but split in 2011. Success Where Latin Americans in entertainment are concerned, Jennifer Lopez has the market cornered. Named the wealthiest Latin American in Hollywood by Forbes and featured as one of the "100 Most Influential Hispanics" by People en Espanol, Lopez has a personal fortune in excess of $100 million and has commanded acting paydays of over $15 million per film.

Though she's never had a film earn over $100 million in North American box office dollars, Jennifer Lopez has had enough critical (Selena, Out of Sight) and commercial success (Maid in Manhattan, The Back-Up Plan) to offset the wounds from disappointments like Angel Eyes and outright bombs like Gigli. A two-fold entertainment star in the same way that athletes are two-sports stars, Jennifer Lopez has seven studio albums to her credit (including her latest, Love?), two American Music Awards and global album sales in excess of 25 million. While there's nothing especially fancy about her musical style, her music continues to be catchy to its intended demographics, so there's no reason for her to stop now. Also a fashion designer and a part-owner of the Miami Dolphins, Jennifer Lopez also added American Idol judge to her credits when she replaced Ellen DeGeneres for seasons 10 and 11, but announced in July 2012 that she will be leaving the show to pursue acting again. Jennifer Lopez Biography In her hometown of The Bronx, the early influences for Jennifer Lopez were song and dance.

Determined to be famous in both areas from the time she turned 4, she became a regular dance student at the Bronx Boys and Girls Club before moving on to stage productions and performances as a teenager at Preston High School, an all-girls Catholic school. Following her graduation, Lopez also experimented with acting by gaining a small role in the 1986 film, My Little Girl. jennifer lopez and in living color At this point in her early career, music was still the driving force for Jennifer Lopez. After finding work in clubs, she earned a pair of high-profile gigs as a chorus member in a production of Synchronicity in Japan and as a dancer in Europe for Golden Musicals of Broadway. From there, she landed her first big break in 1990, when Rosie Perez picked her over 2,000 competing dancers to be a "Fly Girl" on the comedy show, In Living Color, which also launched the career of Jim Carrey . The opportunity to invade the dance floor between comedy sketches led to other opportunities on Yo! MTV Raps and with the New Kids on the Block -- the boy band of the moment -- for whom she danced at the 1991 American Music Awards.

One of the crowning moments in the dancing career of Jennifer Lopez came when she was chosen to back up Janet Jackson in the "That's the Way Love Goes" music video. Having established herself in the professional dancing arena, Jennifer Lopez gravitated toward acting and the possibility to be front and center under the spotlight. Television roles came first through TV movies like Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7 and in series such as Second Chances, Hotel Malibu and South Central. jennifer lopez hits the big screen After a role in the low-budget, critically acclaimed 2005 film, Mia Familia, Jennifer Lopez remained on the big screen as the eye candy stuck between "brothers" Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in the heist drama, Money Train, a teacher to a prematurely aged Robin Williams in Francis Ford Coppola 's 1996 film, Jack, and as a companion to Jack Nicholson in Blood and Wine. jennifer lopez in selena In 1997, Jennifer Lopez' acting career went to new heights when she was cast in Selena, as the titular slain pop singer.

In a performance that was equal parts radiant and sympathetic, Lopez struck an emotional chord with audiences and came away with her first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress -- Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Later that year, she enjoyed two more wildly different roles -- as a filmmaker who comes face-to-face with an Amazon monster in the guilty pleasure Anaconda and as a sexpot who gets under the skin of drifter, Sean Penn, in U Turn. After pairing up with George Clooney as the sexiest of couples in Steven Soderbergh's 1998 film noir, Out of Sight, Jennifer Lopez returned to music, but in a singing capacity. Her debut album, On the 6 (named for her childhood subway line), was released in 1999 and spawned the top 10 hits, "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting for Tonight," as well as a pair of Grammy nominations.

After chasing a serial killer through his own mind in the twisty 2000 thriller, The Cell, Jennifer Lopez prepared her second album, J.Lo, which earned a release in 2001 and included the hits "Love, Don't Cost a Thing," "Ain't It Funny" and "I'm Real." The album was timed to hit stores at the same time that her new film, The Wedding Planner, hit theaters, and the dual success of both only increased the status of Jennifer Lopez as an equal power player in music and film. jennifer lopez stars in monster-in-law and releases love? 2002 brought with it the release of Maid in Manhattan, Jennifer Lopez's biggest box office hit to date (opposite Ralph Fiennes), and This is Me… Then, her latest album that featured the autobiographical single, "Jenny from the Block" along with other hits like "All I Have," "Baby I Love U!" and "I'm Glad." Just when it seemed like Jennifer Lopez could do no wrong, the curse of Bennifer hit her hard.

After initially going into a frenzy over her new relationship with Ben Affleck, the pop culture perception began to sour on them and the release of their film, Gigli, only made it worse. A bomb of mammoth proportions, the film's failure was followed by the cancellation of their wedding, an inevitable breakup and a backlash against all things Bennifer. jennifer lopez and the end of bennifer Following the Bennifer debacle, Jennifer Lopez attempted career resuscitation by starring with some of Hollywood's most celebrated names. Richard Gere , Jane Fonda and Robert Redford starred with her in their respective films, Shall We Dance?, Monster-in-Law and An Unfinished Life. While critical reaction wasn't always in her favor, the first two films provided enough box office punch to rekindle the fire under Lopez's post-Gigli career. On the music front, Lopez also had a successful comeback with the 2005 album, Rebirth, which offered up the smash hit, "Get Right." jennifer lopez stars in the back-up plan In 2007, Jennifer Lopez went in a different creative direction by producing her own album, Como Ama una Mujer, completely in Spanish.

Created with the help of her husband, Marc Anthony, the album sold well in Latin markets and later earned her kudos at the American Music Awards for Favorite Latin Artist. An English-language album, Brave, which was released in the same year, unfortunately fizzled. Jennifer Lopez took a break from acting and music to concentrate on new twin additions to her family before returning in 2010 with a new film and music projects. After a guest spot on TV's How I Met Your Mother, her romantic comedy, The Back-Up Plan, was her return to film, and thanks to the film's healthy box office take, any signs of lingering Gigli fever appeared to be over. She followed the film with the release of her latest album, Love?, and her latest romantic comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012). Her departure from American Idol means she'll have more time for her next project, Overboard, a Will Smith-produced remake of the Kurt Russell - Goldie Hawn comedy.
