I remember telling my assistant at the time - Arlene - to go get the director Michael Apted and I asked if I could go home because I was feeling so, so sick and weird. I kept saying, 'I'm not weak, I'm not weak,'" she recalled. She was driven to a doctor, who prescribed medication, which she refused. So that's what I did. I've still never been to a shrink. I'm not a shrinky person.
When she launched her first fragrance, Glow by JLo, in September of , it became the top-selling fragrance in the US and kickstarted the entire celebrity fragrance industry. No celebrity had launched such a thing since Elizabeth Taylor 's White Diamonds in Unless you count Michael Jordan 's trio of colognes released in the '90s, which we don't.
Sorry, not sorry. Then to the actor. The couple came together to star in the August romantic comedy Gigli , which was overshadowed by media attention on their engagement and proved to be not only a box office bomb, but a critical punching bag.
In , she told HuffPost Live that the period was the "worst, lowest point" of her career. It was a tough time. After the movie bombed, her relationship with Affleck did, indeed, fall apart. They announced they were postponing their planned nuptials indefinitely a day before the ceremony was intended to take place in September , citing media interference with the event.
By January, they were done. But not for good. Once month after her split from Alex Rodriguez in April , she and Affleck reunited—and have been going strong since. Almost immediately after splitting with Affleck, she began dating singer Marc Anthony , who she'd known since he worked with her on On the 6 in , appearing on the ballad "No Me Ames.
On the final night of their co-headlining tour in November , they finally confirmed that she was pregnant, ending month of speculation. It was later revealed that she was carrying twins.
In , she told Elle that she opted against in vitro fertilization treatments while trying to get pregnant, stating, "I … believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don't mess with things like that. When she and Marc starred in the biopic El Cantante , she felt her performance as late salsa singer Hector Lavoe 's wife Puchi should've earned her an Oscar. When the Oscars were on, I had just given birth on the 22nd, and the Oscars I think were a day or two later.
I was sitting there with my twins — and I couldn't have been happier — but I was like 'How dope would it have been if I would've won the Oscar and been here in my hospital bed accepting the award? When she joined American Idol as a judge in the show's 10th season, she kickstarted the trend of A-list stars joining reality TV show judging panels, paving the way for Christina Aguilera , Spears , Mariah Carey , Nicki Minaj , and Katy Perry to take gigs of their own over the years.
In , she added "author" to her resume, releasing the book True Love , a diary of her last year. The book reached No. When her cop drama Shades of Blue premiered on NBC in , the series gave the network its most-watched Thursday night debut in seven years.
The show lasted three seasons.. She has the Midas touch with success in film, television and music. One of things we have noticed lately is that Lopez is getting the call when America needs to bring people together.
The same thing is happening for the Biden-Harris nomination. Some critics said the show was too sexy. They are just jealous. Lopez continued making movies and records, and became a judge on American Idol.
She continues to work the talent show circuit. Her second album J. 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.
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 want to be healthy and look good, but you want to do the least amount to maintain that.
And I thought, "This is really weird. At that time, it was like, "Why are they visiting me already? I'm not even settled in. 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.
People like that don't come along every day. There is never going to be another Selena. Glamorous women like those are why I wanted to get into the business. And from the time I first started off as an actress, each day I had an audition, I'd wake up, do my hair and my makeup, look at myself in the mirror and say, 'I have the stardom glow today.
You've got to have WOW! I tell my actress friends this all the time. I walk into auditions going, 'What's gonna make me different from all the other girls here? It's about being alive, open, electric, confident.
That's the 'wow. I feel I can do anything -- any kind of role. I'm fearless. I work really hard. I'll just get better as I go along because I'm open to getting better. If you have the goods, there's nothing to be afraid of. If somebody doesn't have the goods, they're insecure. I don't have that problem. I'm not the best actress that ever lived, but I know I'm pretty good.
