Style Icon Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has been named Style Icon of the Decade.

The singer-and-actress - famed for her sophisticated and well-groomed look - was honoured at a party hosted by magazine US Weekly, where tribute was paid to her fashion sense.

Jennifer said: "The best part of the night was winning this award!"

Her friend, actress Leah Remini, says Jennifer - who attended the bash with husband Marc Anthony - was a worthy winner.

She told Us Weekly: "Jennifer is fearless when it comes to fashion, and she is always beautiful and always takes a risk. She doesn't care what people think."

Leah also says she relies on Jennifer for fashion advice, explaining: "I always say, 'Jen, what do you think?' "

Jennifer is often noted for her style and earlier this year her face was featured on the cover of a beauty book.

The stunning star was snapped especially for make-up artist Scott Barnes' book 'About Face' which is based on how to transform yourself and look like a film star.

Jennifer has worked with the beauty mogul for over 10 years and he even travelled with her when she worked on her latest movie, 'The Back-up Plan'. 

Jennifer Lopez's equal mothering

Jennifer Lopez wants to make sure her children feel equally loved.

The singer-and-actress - who has two-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with husband Marc Anthony - admits being a mother to twins is challenging because she would hate either one to feel left out.

She told Parade.com: "Now, they're two and noticing everything I do. It's like if I give one a little bit of candy or food or whatever, I give the other one a little bit too. If I kiss my daughter I go, 'Oh, I don't want my son to see me kissing her without kissing him.' So you just have to make sure that they both felt equally loved and I guess that's the toughest part of being a mom to twins."

Although she was shocked to discover she was carrying two babies, the 40-year-old beauty loves every part of motherhood and wishes she had started sooner.

She said: "I was in denial that I was even pregnant, so when I found out I was having twins, I kind of just laughed and went, 'Like, of course this would happen.' I started giggling and Marc started crying and it was joyous. The best part of having two babies at once, a son and a daughter, is mostly everything. You're just having that feeling of love inside you all the time and motherhood is such a fulfilling place to be. I kind of wish it would have happened to me earlier in my life." 

Jennifer Lopez scared of the dark

Jennifer Lopez is scared of the dark.

The 'Get Right' singer makes her husband Marc Anthony wait until she's asleep before he is allowed to turn off the lights.

The 40-year-old star - who is renowned for her diva behaviour - explained: "I like the quiet, but I don't like the dark. "We have everything on dimmers so I kind of trick myself into the darkness. Marc always turns off the lights after he comes to bed. I'm usually sleeping - or he waits till I fall asleep and then turns them off."

Jennifer and Marc have been married for five years and the star is the first to admit their relationship, like any, "takes work". To help keep the spark alive, Jennifer reads books about successful marriages and relationships.

She said: "I'm constantly trying to figure love out. It's the never-ending question - what is the key to love? I'm old enough to know now that relationships take work. That's it's not an easy thing." As well as working hard to keep her marriage happy, Jennifer also admits her and Marc's 18-month-old twins, Max and Emme, present their own wonderful challenges.

She told In Style magazine: "There's nothing as huge as giving birth to another human being and having to be responsible for another life. There's you before kids, and there's you after kids - and they're not the same you. "Parenthood totally changes your perspective on everything. You don't come first anymore. There's somebody else you care more about than yourself."

Jennifer Lopez still shifting baby weight

Jennifer Lopez is still struggling to lose her baby weight.

The singer-and-actress, who gave birth to twins Max and Emme last February, can't quite shift the last few pounds.

Jennifer, who gained over 60lbs during pregnancy, said: "It's funny, once I gave birth I dropped 30lbs immediately and then the next 20lbs came off right away. When I did a triathlon, I dropped another 10, and with the last 10 I'm still struggling with. I probably have 5-6lbs more to go."

Despite gaining a large amount of weight, the 39-year-old beauty enjoyed being pregnant and revealed she and husband Marc Anthony would love to add to their family.

She said: "I think we'll have more children. I mean, it's fun to do all the things we do, but nothing feels like what it is to have children and to have that joy and purpose in your life of raising another human being.

"I had a great pregnancy, but I probably won't be as lucky the second time. It was great, though. I didn't have any of the bad symptoms, no morning sickness or anything."

Jennifer Lopez's hairy house

Jennifer Lopez has a room just for her wigs.

The singer-and-actress reportedly owns so many hairpieces she has built a 'wiggery' in her New York mansion, which she shares with her husband Marc Anthony and their 13-month-old twins Max and Emme.

A source said: "Jennifer keeps the door locked and hardly ever lets anyone in the room, not even Marc. The shelves on the walls are full of plastic heads holding the best hairpieces money can buy."

Jennifer, 39, is so obsessed with changing her hair she constantly updates her collection and is keen to try out new styles.

The source added to National Enquirer magazine: "Her actual hair is shoulder-length. Her wigs allow her to experiment with different looks and styles without having to have extensions or grown her own locks. "She has short, long and super-long looks. Her wigs are so elaborate they take on a life of their own."

Jennifer Lopez keeps jewels

Singer Marc Anthony and his wife Jennifer Lopez talk on stage before performing together at the Western Regional Inaugural Ball in Washington January 20, 2009.

Jennifer Lopez has kept $50,000 worth of diamonds she borrowed last week.

The singer-and-actress wore the Robert Mouawad jewellery to the launch of Andrea Lieberman's fashion line ALC, in Beverly Hills, and while other guests have given back the precious jewels, Jennifer has kept hers.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "We received a call from her manager informing us that Jennifer was going to keep the jewellery. As far as Mr. Mouawad is concerned, Jennifer can have whatever she wants, but a premature demand seemed presumptuous. He will lose no sleep over $50,000, and frankly, Jennifer's endorsement is priceless."

Jennifer's manager Benny Medina insists the 39-year-old star was given the jewellery along with clothes from the ALC fashion line in return for hosting the event.

Medina said: "There was no demand whatsoever. There was an offer. It was very clear. It was agreed she would be given the entire collection of jewellery and clothes.

"She was the only celebrity whose name was on the invite. She would have done it for nothing. But this was how it was presented. It was quite a generous offer."

Jennifer is not the only star to have encountered problems while wearing expensive borrowed jewels.

In 1993, Sharon Stone was sued by Harry Winston Inc. after she failed to return a $400,000 necklace. The 'Basic Instinct' actress claimed she thought the jewellery was a gift.

Paris Hilton had to pay out $100,000 after losing the lavish Kwiat bracelet she wore to the Oscars in 2003. The blonde socialite said the trinket was stolen from a friend's car.

Jennifer Lopez: Obama "biggest A-lister"

One of the world's biggest stars Jennifer Lopez felt a little flustered upon meeting President-elect Barack Obama at the Latino Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C., according to media reports on Tuesday.

The singer-actress said even with all of Hollywood flocking to the city for the inauguration, President-elect Barack Obama was undeniably the biggest A-lister.

"He is the biggest star here, even though it's chock-full of celebrities," said Lopez. "The night he won the election, you could feel it in the air. I was … watching him with tears in my eyes, thinking, 'Yes. Something is different. Something is happening.' We're very excited."

Lopez's husband, singer Marc Anthony, agreed. "Washington's never had a bigger rock star at the helm," he said. The pair quashed rumors their marriage by holding hands on the Union Station red carpet.

U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) waves to supporters with his wife Michelle and their daughters Malia (2nd L) and Sasha at a campaign rally at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio, November 2, 2008.

Obama, his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha attended the gala Sunday evening along with Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his wife Jill.

Obama stood up with his family as Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx shouted, "Chi-town, stand up!" The president-elect also laughed heartily at Foxx's imitation of his sometimes monotone.

The Obamas sang along to "This Land is Your Land," as did the big crowd that stretched from the Lincoln Memorial down to the Washington Monument.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to announce split Valentine's Day?

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez will end their 4.5 year marriage in February, according to a scoop featured in Monday’s edition of the NY Daily News.

A friend of the couple tells the tab: “Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14. Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell.”

Marc and Jennifer, parents of ten month-old twins Max and Emme, renewed their wedding vows in an impromptu ceremony in Las Vegas last October, but the ritual has done little to remedy the couple’s rumored rift.

“They’re definitely planning a clean break in February,” the source said.

Jennifer is said to resent Marc’s attitude to their children and his attempts to reinvent her as a Latin star while a source close to Marc added: “Marc’s ready to move on. The fighting has been too much for him to handle lately.”

A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment on the rumours.

J.Lo Gives In And Hires Nanny

Honey, we have a nanny. We can stay out late!

Ms I-Can-Do-It-Myself Jennifer Lopez has finally relented and has hired a nanny for her seven-month-old twins, Max and Emme.

Despite insisting she and hubby Marc Anthony didn’t need any nanny assistant when the kids were born, the couple recently said that they finally conceded defeat and brought in a nanny.

“I did it (looking after the kids) for a long time, but we started using a nanny a few weeks ago,” the Latina said during an interview.

But the 39-year-old isn’t taking things easy now that there’s a nanny in the house. “I still get up early with the kids. When the nanny comes, I get to have some alone time for myself and I get to take a nice long shower. But I still give them breakfast and I spend my whole day with them,” she says insisting she’s a full-time mum. “The nanny is there to help me get things done, that’s all. Marc and I are raising the kids.”

No word yet if J.Lo will spend time in the recording studio but with a nanny, she has more time on her hands. So what about it, Jenny?

Jennifer Lopez's nanny no

Jennifer Lopez's nanny no

Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony refuse to hire a nanny to look after their twins.

Singer and actress Lopez and husband Anthony arrive for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York.

Marc insists Jennifer prefers to care for three-month-old Max and Emme herself, but he is expected to help out as much as possible. He revealed: "She expects me to help and she makes no bones about it. I get the late shift! I usually get from 10pm onwards because we don't have a nanny. From 10pm to 8am, that's my shift. It's just us man. We're figuring it out and having a great time."

Marc insists singer-and-actress Jennifer is planning to return to work soon, but at the moment she is totally devoted to her babies. The singer - who has three children from two previous relationships - added to 'Access Hollywood': "She has three movies lined up and she's eager to go back to work, but the babies have been a blessing all the way around and she's just amazing. She's an amazing mom and I'm so proud of her. She's a gem to watch in action."
