Jennifer Lopez Fights Back For V

‘American Idol‘ Jennifer Lopez turns pro fighter on the cover of the Sports Issue #76 of V magazine.

Clad in a boxer’s attire and rocking a boyish hairdo, the 42-year-old singer goes androgynous for the lens of noted lensman Mario Testino.

Jennifer opens up to the magazine about her fascinating relationship with ex Marc Anthony.

“I mean, we’re parents and friends first. That will be the thread that ties us together. I don’t know if people expect it to be negative just because the [intimate] relationship didn’t work out”, JLo tells V.

Jennifer Lopez: Glamour’s Woman Of The Year

Having landed the hottest television gig with ‘American Idol’, named People magazine’s 2011 most beautiful woman alive and finally releasing her seventh studio album ‘Love?’ , after countless delays, it comes as no surprise that US Glamour magazine has named Jennifer Lopez as their 2011 ‘Woman of the Year’.

Shot by Matthias Vriens-McGrath, the ‘Papi’ singer graces the cover of the magazine’s December issue, wearing sexy Salvatore Ferragamo pants and showing some serious cleavage in a Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony bustier.

Interviewed by legendary Hollywood actress Jane Fonda for the magazine, the 42-year-old, who recently split from husband Marc Anthony, talks about the lessons she has learned from love and relationships.

“I think I’ve finally learned the biggest lesson of all. You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with somebody else. You’ve got to value yourself and know that you’re worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can’t really have a healthy relationship”, JLo explains.

 

Jennifer Lopez Snags A Vanity Fair Cover

She only announced her split from husband Marc Anthony a few weeks ago, and now singer Jennifer Lopez has already snagged her first post-split interview.

Photographed by Mario Testino, the 42-year-old American Idol judge graces the September Style Issue of Vanity Fair magazine, showing off her gorgeous cleavage and exotic beauty in a Gucci silk sleeveless deep-neck dress.

The ‘On The Floor’ singer opens up to the magazine in an exclusive interview about her failed marriage to Marc.

“That was my biggest dream, and I really worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn’t work — and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love. It’s still my biggest dream. I am positive — determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person. I now look forward to new challenges. I feel strong”, JLo explains to Vanity Fair.

 

Jada Pinkett-Smith Shares Exclusive Family Pics With Redbook

Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith covers the August issue of Redbook magazine in very short shorts. Sexy mama?

The 39-year-old mother reveals exclusive family photos in the magazine and talks about putting her family first.

“I had to make choices. Believe me, I would still be on the road with my band, Wicked Wisdom, and making as many movies as I can a year, and doing all sorts of other things if I didn’t have the responsibility of a family. But I have children with their own talents and dreams, and I know I have to be standing next to them for that journey”, She tells Redbook.

Take a look at the ‘HawthoRNe’ star’s private family photos below and her describing them to Redbook:

“This is during The Karate Kid shoot. Will had asked me to come to the set because Jaden had a high fever. If Will was calling, he was really sick! So I flew from Beijing to get him”.

“That’s a late night on the set of HawthoRNe with me, Will, and [costar] Marc Anthony going over one of the season’s first scripts. Will is a ‘ghost producer’ on the show”.

“We’re in Oslo, Norway, in the hotel room before we presented President Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009″.

“Before Willow shot her ‘Rockstar’ video, she was like, ‘Mommy, I don’t know if I can do this.’ So I was telling her there, ‘Sweetie, you can do this!’ She’s my little drama queen”.

“Here I am fixing Willow’s hair before she shot the ‘Whip My Hair’ video”

“This is Jaden and Trey watching Will and me doing one of the last episodes of Oprah from another room in the studio. I hope those cupcakes weren’t their lunch!”.

“That’s Willow playing the piano when we were all in Madrid before the Justin Bieber concert”
