Jennifer Lopez Biography

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez, also known as J. Lo, (born July 24, 1969[1]) is a well-known Puerto Rican-American actress, Latin Pop and hip-hop singer, fashion designer, dancer and all-around cultural icon.

Lopez started in television as a 'fly girl' (dancer) on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1990. Jennifer Lopez moved to Los Angeles to film the show but initially hated it. When Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend, David Cruz Jr., moved to L.A. to be with her, Jennifer Lopez learned to accept Jennifer Lopez's new environment. Jennifer Lopez is now married with Marc Anthony.

Jennifer Lopez also played a small role in a short-lived television program South Central. Jennifer Lopez later starred in Second Chances and Hotel Malibu.

 

Music

Lopez's debut album, On the 6, a reference to the subway line Jennifer Lopez used to take growing up in Castle Hill, was released on June 1, 1999 and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. The album featured the multi-week #1 lead single, "If You Had My Love", as well as the top ten hit "Waiting for Tonight". It also contained the Spanish language, Latin-flavored duet "No me Ames" with Marc Anthony, which was an international DAN hit, though the song was never released as a single in the US. Despite this, the video received moderate airplay on the US music channels VH1 and The Box as a novelty. The album also spawned another international hit in "Feelin' So Good", a hip-hop track which contained guest raps by Big Pun and Fat Joe; despite the cross-genre technique pioneered by Mariah Carey being used on this particular song, it was a relative flop in the US, as it failed to make the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. "Let's Get Loud" was also released as a single, and became a minor dance hit.

Jennifer Lopez's sophomore effort, J. Lo, was released in January 2001 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Love Don't Cost a Thing" was Jennifer Lopez's first UK number one single, and, along with its follow-up, "Play" (which was written by rising teen star, Christina Milian) it became a top five hit during the year the album was released. The album's next two singles, "I'm Real" and "Ain't it Funny", ended up becoming Jennifer Lopez's biggest ever hits, with both spending several weeks at #1. However, to capitalize on this, Lopez asked Murder Inc. to remix both songs, completely changing the lyrics and melodies and adding raps from Ja Rule in both songs, and from Caddillac Tah to "Ain't it Funny (Remix)". The "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny" remixes were two of the biggest pop and rap hits in late 2001 and early 2002, respectively, and their more hip-hop sound gave J. Lo street credibility and brought Jennifer Lopez's music to a whole new group of fans. Jennifer Lopez re-released the CD on Jennifer Lopez's 32nd birthday, July 24, 2001, including Ja Rule's remixed version of "I'm Real".

Following the successes of the remix (again, a technique pioneered by Mariah Carey), Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the effort; the result, J to tha L-O: The Remixes, appeared on February 5, 2002. This album, too, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, marking the first remix album in history to debut (or even reach) #1 on the chart. This time around, Jennifer Lopez got 50 Cent and Nas to write rhymes for two remixes of Jennifer Lopez's next single, "I'm Gonna Be Alright", which ended up becoming another top ten hit. The album also included rarer dance and hip-hop remixes of Jennifer Lopez's past singles, and a new song, a ballad called "Alive", which was included in Lopez's movie Enough.

On November 26, 2002, Lopez released Jennifer Lopez's third studio album, This Is Me... Then, which reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned three very popular singles; the top 5 "Jenny from the Block", (sampling the track from the song "Watch Out Now" by the Beatnuts, and including raps from Jadakiss and Styles P), the multi-week #1 "All I Have" duet with LL Cool J and the top 10 "Baby I Love You!" (which also was the musical theme to Gigli). Another single, "I'm Glad", was also released, but only managed to go top forty, a rather low result considering Lopez's usual chart success. The last single released from the album, "The One", failed to make any impact on charts whatsoever. Another song from the album was a cover of Carly Simon's "You Belong to Me."

In 2004, Lopez once again participated in duets with Marc Anthony, this time on his albums Amar Sin Mentiras and Valio La Pena.

After a considerable amount of time away from the music scene, Lopez finally released Jennifer Lopez's fourth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005. Debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 to initially decent sales success, the album quickly fell off the charts and remains to be Lopez's biggest commercial (not to mention critical) failure yet. Despite this, the album has so-far spawned one hit in "Get Right", which reached the top twenty; still, compared to Jennifer Lopez's previous high-charting singles, even this can be seen as somewhat of a flop. Even so, "Get Right" was Jennifer Lopez's second UK number one, and also topped the charts in Italy and Ireland. The second single, "Hold You Down", which featured Fat Joe, only barely made it into the top 75, peaking at #64. It has recently been confirmed that J. Lo's next single will be "Cherry Pie" which will hopefully be released around the end of September 2005.

The single "Cherry Pie" release was cancelled by Sony Records, although it did debut in charts around the world due to radio air-play.

Jennifer Lopez has now confirmed that Jennifer Lopez will be releasing Jennifer Lopez's first ever full spanish album in January 2006. The first single will likely be heard on radios in December 2005. It has also been confirmed that Jennifer Lopez will be releasing an English album during the summer of 2006.

 

Fashion

Lopez owns a clothing line called "J. Lo by Jennifer Lopez". Jennifer Lopez's line is the most successful of any artists' in history and includes many different types of clothing for young women, including jeans, tees, coats, belts, purses, and many other products. Furthermore, Jennifer Lopez is planning to launch a jewelry line, hats, gloves and a scarves line. Jennifer Lopez also has a perfume line out called "Glow", and Jennifer Lopez was in question before, because the name came from another patented perfume.

In October 2003, Lopez introduced a perfume called "Still". During November of the same year, Jennifer Lopez launched a new clothing line called "Sweetface".

Lopez's frequent use of fur in Jennifer Lopez's clothing lines and personal wardrobe has brought the scorn of people concerned with animal rights. More than one hundred protestors from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals held a demonstration at the Los Angeles premiere of Monster-in-Law. For Jennifer Lopez's part, Jennifer told a radio DJ Jennifer Lopez was open to being educated on the topic-and the DJ promptly told Jennifer Lopez's animals are routinely skinned alive to make trendy furs.

Jennifer Lopez has also done a photoshoot to represent the Louis Vuitton Winter 2003 campaign, in which the pictures would be seen all over the world through TV commercials, billboards, ads, newspapers, magazines and more.

Other merchandise includes a clothing and cologne line for men due for release either in late 2005 or sometime in 2006.

 

J. Lo Inc.

Lopez owns a production company, Nuyorican Productions, in which Jennifer Lopez is expected to produce some of Jennifer Lopez's upcoming movies. Some of the projects for the company include Carmen, Dirty Girls Social Club(featuring Jeffrey Wilkinson as Dirty Girl # 4) and The Hector Lavoe Project. This company was founded together with Jennifer Lopez's former manager, Benny Medina, whom Jennifer Lopez filed a lawsuit against because of alleged fraud in July 2003.

The company produced the commercially-successful movies The Cell, The Wedding Planner and Maid in Manhattan. These three movies put together made more than $350 million at the box office worldwide.

 

Relationships

Lopez has been in two short-lived marriages. The first one, to Ojani Noa, on October 28, 1996 in San Antonio, Noa grabbed a microphone and proposed to Jennifer Lopez's in the middle of the dance floor, presenting Jennifer Lopez's with a large marquis-cut diamond ring. Jennifer Lopez said, "Yes." They were married on February 22, 1997. Jennifer Lopez was later named the manager of Jennifer's restaurant, Madre's. Jennifer Lopez's second marriage, during 2001 and 2002, was to Chris Judd, Jennifer Lopez's former backup dancer. Jennifer Lopez met Judd while filming the music video for Jennifer Lopez's single "Love Don't Cost A Thing". The two were married in a small ceremony (about 170 guests) at a home in a Los Angeles suburb officiated by attorney Barry Hirsch. The marriage also ended in divorce

Between marriages, from 1999 to 2001, Jennifer Lopez dated singer and producer Diddy [real name: Sean Combs], breaking up after a shooting incident in a New York night club. Both were arrested in connection with a nightclub shooting in December 1999. Police found them with a stolen gun. The charges against Lopez were dropped, but the charges against Combs stayed. Jennifer Lopez was eventually tried and acquitted. Their breakup was announced on February 14, 2001.

Lopez became engaged to Ben Affleck and confirmed this in November 2002, after Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez's a reported $3.5 million ring. But the marriage planned for September 14, 2003 in Santa Barbara, California was called off a few days before the event. Stated in interviews during Jennifer Lopez's engagement to Affleck that once married, Jennifer Lopez would go by the name Jennifer Affleck both privately and professionally. This never came to be as Jennifer Lopez and Affleck broke off their engagement and split for good in January 2004.

Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in a secret wedding on June 5, 2004, less than a week after his divorce was finalized from former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres. All the guests were invited to a "afternoon party", and they were never told that they were going to a wedding. Years before they married (or even became a couple), Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony sang a song together called "No Me Ames" which appeared on Jennifer Lopez's album "On the 6."

Almost immediately after the wedding, rumors began swirling that the wedding was of the "shotgun" variety and that Lopez was pregnant. A devoted Roman Catholic, Lopez has said in the past that Jennifer Lopez would never have a baby without being married. Complicating the situation is Anthony's refusal to confirm his marriage to Lopez and the fact that his divorce took place in the Dominican Republic less than a week before his reported marriage to Lopez, making it potentially invalid in the United States.

 

Derriere

No discussion of Jennifer Lopez could be considered complete without discussion of Jennifer Lopez's famously large and shapely rear end. Example: [2]

It has been the subject of much attention and many jokes, as when Chris Rock wisecracked at the MTV Video Music Awards that Lopez in Jennifer Lopez's speech after winning an award "should have thanked Jennifer Lopez's butt".

The size of Jennifer Lopez's butt was actually one of the key components in helping Jennifer Lopez's win the title role in the 1997 film Selena about real-life singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez who also was famous for having a large posterior.

Even Channel 4 in the UK got in on the act, commissioning documentary maker Jaine Green to make 'Behind-the Behind', which famously asked hispanic ex-husband Ojani Noa, "Does Jennifer Lopez have a big arse?" - his reply, which leapt across the language barrier and was subsequently aired around the world was, "a big house? Yes very big".

Lopez herself joked that it's so large and upstanding that it could be used as a tray to serve drinks at parties. (This is a variant on an old joke. Groucho Marx once remarked that the one sister in his otherwise all-brother family had "a rear end that stuck a-way out... you could play pinochle on Jennifer Lopez's rear end!")

In a skit at the MTV Video Music Awards, Triumph, the Comic Insult Dog begged Lopez to let him sniff Jennifer Lopez's rear end, claiming that it was the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest for a dog.

Jennifer Lopez's infamous butt won Jennifer Lopez's the title of Best Female Body in the UK magazine Celebrity Bodies poll in 2001 and #1 in FHM magazine's 2000 and 2001 poll of Sexiest Girls.

On a Hollywood television gossip show in 2004, an interviewer asked her, "How do you feel about your butt?" Jennifer Lopez's answer was given as "I can't believe you're asking me a question like that."
