Yep, the very same Redbook. At least, that was my Nana’s favorite magazine before she died at the ripe old age of 89.
J. Lo has clearly fallen quite far from her days of gracing Elle and Glamour and Rolling Stone, but I think she still looks fabulous and she’s still one of the most beautiful women on the planet in my eyes. Redbook‘s sales might actually take a big hike up this edition, ’cause girlfriend’s looking just smoking hot.
In an interview with the geriatric orthopedist-office magazine, Lopez talks about her career, husband and children:
On good old Skeletor:
“I think you can love many different people, but that’s different from what makes a great partner in life, which Marc is for me… He inspires me to be better at everything—a better person, mom, singer, performer, friend, and wife. A marriage is long, and you’ve got to like the person as much as you love or lust after them. You’ve got to be friends first.”
On her career:
“I always wanted to be great at what I did—that’s what drove me. If I got rejected, I wouldn’t take it personally. I was like, Make them a fan and they’ll bring you back in for something else. I never thought about money or fame, and I never really thought that would happen to me. All that was just a by-product.”
On her adorable kiddos:
“I can’t help but be a different person now that I’ve had kids. That really does change your whole perspective on life for the better. I definitely feel like I’ve grown up. So, I guess in a way parts of me are going to be different, but in general I’m still the same girl from the Bronx who had big dreams.”
I still love you, baby, but come on, Jen. Just because you’re married and have kids doesn’t mean you have to start posing for, like, AARP now, does it?
This is why I hate the Wayan’s brothers.
I read Redbook. :( I guess I’m a 25 year old geriatric. Oh well. I’m okay with that.
She does look nice in these photos.
Then again even moi will look good with flattering lighting and a good dose of photoshop.
At least there’s no singing involved….
Yes, she looks good – I bet they shaved about three inches of boo-tay off, but so what?
Yep, some spectacular photoshop artists for this cover! I’m just happy that she doesn’t have her usual “open-mouthed smile because I’m so sexy” face going on. Ooops, maybe she does in that last photo but I’m betting not because maybe the Redbook execs told her no way for their photo shoot! Gosh, why is she even relevent anymore?
Just gotta put it out there… as recently as Feb of this year she was featured on the cover of U.S. Elle with the caption, “Jennifer Lopez is SOOOO back.” (yes, four o’s). For what its worth.
I think JLO is a devinely beautiful woman.
My friends on ====meetingrich.com==== where I found my best love told me that they saw this photo on that site and felt so surprised.
i don’t know why, but i’ve never thought she was that beautiful.
of course in videos and photos she pulls it off but over all i find her boring.
Why are you ragging on her choice of media outlet? She’s talking about being a married working mom. That’s basically Redbook’s exact target market.
She is a beautiful hard working woman! She gained what she has through hard and dedicated work. Women must work very hard to make it in Hollywood! She did and is an inspiration for young girls out there with the same dreams! Viva la diva!
A load of stereotypical crap. If she is an inspiration for young girls, women or whatever, we are in a dreary state. And of course the cover is photoshopped. Btw, do u know the meaning of the word “diva”? JLo is no diva at all. Wake up!
don’t sleep on j.lo’s business savvy…or that of her mr. wizard, manager benny medina.
she’s prepping her for her audience for the next 20 yrs.
and, know what?
i dig it.
at least she’s approaching her ageing in context with her career with a realism that is the opposite of what demi moore or sharon stone does.
albeit very wrong costume choices *ahem* (new years catsuit) *ahem*, at least she’s interviewing in magazines that are her age demographic.
that bunny rabbit is super smart and has ALWAYS had a super-keen hustle.
she’s even gone back to a film formula that has always worked for her…the romantic comedy.
go jen-ni-fuh!
work that ny hustle.
loves it. :-)
