Jennifer Lopez on the "J. Lo Glow," Her Beauty Must-Have, and More


, March 22, 2011, 2:05:00 PM

On every episode of American Idol, the judge who talks like a thoughtful, caring mentor looks like a diva. Jennifer Lopez is always keeping her beauty looks fresh: rocking bold lips one night, dark eyes the next; she's worn her hair in a smooth bun and loose waves—of course, she always has dewy skin. We talked to the singer and reality show judge about how she gets her J. Lo glow and when she feels her most beautiful.

How do you feel about the term "J. Lo Glow" in reference to your skin? Is it nice to have your own phrase? I love that! I didn't know I had my own phrase! I love that the idea of having healthy glowing skin—that people think that of me. That's awesome.

How do you take care of your skin? I'm a big believer in the basics. Less is more. I get my cleanser from my dermatologist. I need a great cleanser because I've had to wear a lot of makeup for so many years. I use a very mild makeup remover and a very basic sunscreen-moisturizer combo, and I try to get lots of sleep.

What beauty product do you always have with you in your purse? [L'Oréal] Elnett [StrongHold Hair Spray]. Because I feel like if your hair doesn't look good, it doesn't matter how much makeup you have on.

Do you regret following any particular beauty trend when you were younger? [Laughs] No, I stand by all my awful looks!

What will you teach your daughter about beauty?That it comes from the inside; because you can be the most physically beautiful girl, but if you're not a beautiful person, that shows. So I really do teach her to love herself and to know that beauty is something that comes from the inside.

When do you feel your most beautiful? I guess when I'm on the red carpet all glammed up. I've taken a long time getting ready and I have a beautiful creation of a dress on, and a beautiful creation of a hairdo—I feel pretty spectacular in those moments.

Check out the rest of her interview in the April issue of Allure (on newsstands Wednesday), where she takes us through her best music video beauty looks, from her crystal-covered body in "Waiting for Tonight" (they were held on with eyelash glue!) to her dark black tresses in "Que Hiciste."

Jennifer Lopez: 'Idol' journey is 'exhilarating'

Jennifer Lopez talks about the revitalization of her career with USA TODAY's Bill Keveney in today's paper. That includes her new album (due in April), upcoming movie projects and, of course, American Idol.

"It wasn't some grand master plan we had — it just kind of worked out that way," she says. "I was working on a record, looking at some films. The American Idol thing was offered to me months and months before. I really wasn't considering it. They came back again. Then I started thinking about it."

Jennifer has especially enjoyed working with Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest, who she says are like brothers that she never had

"It's a lot of fun. Taking a journey with the contestants has also been exhilarating," she says. "I know exactly what they're feeling and their hopes and their dreams and what they want to do in that moment."

Jennifer Lopez Entertainment Tonight Interview 3.14.11

Jennifer Lopez has tackled music, movies and fashion all while raising a family, but the one arena that almost proved too much for the entertainer was reality television.

"I know I'm a passionate person and I know I'm an emotional person, I just didn't expect it to hit me in that way," JLo said of her widely-publicized emotional breakdown while judging an episode of "American Idol" in February.

As "American Idol" advanced into the Top 24, JLo shouldered the job of informing Chris Medina, 26, that he wouldn't advance in the competition. Medina's girlfriend had suffered a traumatic brain injury just two months before the couple's scheduled wedding.

"I actually cried a lot more than they showed on TV," JLo revealed.

JLo also dished on the struggle to decide whether or not to actually join the judges' panel on the famous singing competition.

"It just wasn't something that I thought was in my plans really," said JLo.

The singer had other career plans already set in motion when the show's producers approached her with the idea to join the program, including a film and another record. JLo's new song and video "On the Floor" is number one on iTunes.

JLo acknowledged that there were people around her "who tried to talk [her] out of it," but the music icon emphasized that ultimately she was the only one who could decide for her, saying, "At the end of the day, I just follow my gut."

That confidence in herself may be one of the reasons JLo's manager Benny Medina calls the singer "an international and global superstar."

L.A. Reid executive produced JLo's upcoming album Love? and after working with Rihanna and Mariah Carey amongst other notable stars, he called JLo "very special."

"American Idol" airs Wednesday and Thursday nights on FOX. JLo's new album Love? is in stores April 19.

Jennifer Lopez collaborating with Lil Wayne

Jennifer Lopez has revealed she has collaborated with 'Lollipop' rapper Lil Wayne on her next single 'I'm Into You' from upcoming seventh studio album 'Love?'.

Jennifer Lopez has collaborated with Lil Wayne on her next single.

The 'Jenny From the Block' hitmaker - who is currently appearing on the judging panel of TV show 'American Idol' - has revealed the 28-year-old rapper features on her 'I'm Into You', from her forthcoming seventh album 'Love?'.

Speaking to fans during an online chat, she explained: "My next single I believe will be a song called 'I'm Into You' and it's going to feature Lil Wayne, so look out for that. Lil Wayne is very unique and fresh. Plus he's on my single!"

The singer-and-actress scored major success in the US with her last single, 'On The Floor' - which number five in the US Billboard hot 100 chart - and recently told how she had felt "emotionally connected" to it from the first time producer RedOne played it to her.

She said: "The minute RedOne played it for me, I made him play it 20 times in a row, and I just sat there at the board and I kept listening to it and listening to it.

"Because I really feel like, emotionally, I connected to it, but also because of how much I love to dance and how much that's always been such a big part of who I am since I started."

'Love?' is expected to be released in May.

JLo, Steven Tyler will both perform on 'Idol'

'American Idol" judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez will perform on the show this season, says executive producer Nigel Lythgoe.

And, Lythgoe says, Tyler's performance will feature his band, Aerosmith.

Lythgoe was asked Sunday by xfinitytv.com about Tyler and Lopez performing on this season's "Idol" finale.

"It will probably be before that, actually," he said at LA auditions for "So You Think You Can Dance."

Tyler's Aerosmith bandmate, Joe Perry, was initially critical of Tyler joining "Idol" this season, but they've reportedly buried the hatchet.

Both Tyler and Lopez are in their first seasons as "Idol" judges.

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Still Rules The Hot 100, But Jennifer Lopez Is On The Move

The Billboard Hot 100 has its first official juggernaut of 2011. After debuting in the top spot two weeks ago, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" — the first single from the forthcoming album of the same name — has notched a third week on top of the chart, with nary a legitimate challenger in sight (the number two song for the second week in a row is Cee Lo Green's "F--- You," which has been on the chart for an impressive 27 weeks and is getting a second wind thanks to its Grammy Awards exposure).

But if there is a song that could upend "Born This Way," it's Jennifer Lopez's new single "On the Floor." The track made its chart debut at number nine this week, giving Lopez the highest-charting debut of her career and her seventh top 10 hit. Certainly the exposure Lopez has received on "American Idol" (still the most-watched show on television) has boosted her profile in the music world, and the video for "On the Floor" (which premieres during Thursday night's (March 3) live broadcast of "American Idol") could give it enough of a push to unseat Gaga from the top of the chart.

Gaga's continued dominance and Lopez's big debut were the big headlines, but there were plenty of other shake-ups on the Hot 100 this week. The top 10 mostly stayed the same (Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" and Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" dropped out to make room for Lopez and Katy Perry's "E.T.," which surged from 28 to eight over the past week). Perry wasn't the only star getting a bit boost, as both Ke$ha's "Blow" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" experienced great leaps ("Blow" moved from number 32 to number 11, while "Rolling in the Deep" went from 26 to 13, and both have robust digital download sales to thank for those bumps). Kanye West's "All of the Lights" also found itself in its highest spot on the chart yet, moving from 54 to 31 on the back of the premiere of the flashy video.

Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Idol’ Judging Brings Ex-Boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs To Tears

He can’t stop… he won’t stop… and he’s taking the Diddy train all the way to “American Idol.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs is heading to the hit FOX reality singing competition, where he’ll perform his latest single, “Coming Home,” as well as mentor the contestants in the ways of “swagger,” courtesy of his signature clothing line, Sean John.

“I’m helping [the contestants] with their styles. I’m helping to kind of dress them with Sean John,” Diddy revealed to Access’ Maria Menounos in an interview on Wednesday on the set of CBS drama “Hawaii Five-0,” in Oahu, where he was filming a guest spot. “I’m bringing a celebrity stylist to help us this week. We’re going try to get them to have that superstar shine and swagger that I try to exude on a daily basis.

“I’m going to hit ‘em with some musical tips, some inspiration, some motivation, and then I’m gonna show ‘em how to do it,” he added. “I’m going to hit that stage after I show ‘em how to have that swagger.”

Appearing on “Idol” will bring the music mogul face-to-face with his former flame, Jennifer Lopez, but Diddy said he’s got nothing but love for the Latina diva.

“First of all she’s just looking so good!” Diddy told Maria of his ex. “You’ve got to give it to her for having twins and to be doing it how she’s doing it. I’m so proud of her.”

Diddy also raved about J.Lo’s judging style, revealing that her loving critiques have brought the streetwise rapper to tears… twice!

“The way [Jennifer] handled coming after Simon, and even myself from ‘Making the Band,’ and the way we were hard coaches — she’s been like, a compassionate person,” Diddy told Maria. “She’s made me cry like, twice, and she’s looked good doing it. And she’s made sense so, you know, I’m proud of her.

“She’s a nice person so, you know, when you’re super nice, your emotions get the best of you,” he continued. “It’s good though — it’s good to see that change in the competitive shows. I think she’s very refreshing.”

Catch Diddy in all of his “swagger” glory when he appears on “American Idol” on April 18 on FOX.
