A Dancer's Life for Lopez
The former Fly Girl returns to her roots with the MTV reality show Dancelife, acting as executive producer and appearing in only two episodes. The show follows six Los Angeles-based dancers as they audition for Lopez, Ashlee Simpson, Nelly Furtado, Gap and Candies. "It's a tough life and I want to show that struggle," Lopez says to MTV.com. "These dancers have dedicated their lives to this, and honestly, the glory is not always there."
All-Time Most Beautiful
Lopez makes her seventh appearance on PEOPLE's Most Beautiful list. Her beauty goal? "I like to look good for Marc," she tells PEOPLE, describing her look as "classic at times, rock and roll, earthy and feminine at others." Monster-in-Law costar Jane Fonda says, "She looks like a piece of Mayan sculpture, and her skin is really beautiful."
