Though we lost one superstar, we gained another in Jennifer Lopez, who once again channeled Selena and broke a barrier of her own when she became the first woman to have a No. 1 movie and album in the same week—The Wedding Planner was the nation’s top-grossing film, while her album J.Lo was No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200. No stranger to the spotlight professionally or personally, this hopeless romantic has turned out hit films like Monster-in-Law, The Back-Up Plan, and Maid in Manhattan as well as songs like “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “If You Had My Love,” and her most recent, “On the Floor.” In addition to being a performer, she also produces via her company Nuyorican, has a best-selling line of perfume and accessories, and shares her enthusiasm as a judge on American Idol, all while making time to be a mother to 4-year-old twins Max and Emme. Next up, What to Expect When You’re Expecting, due out in May.
