Dance
to 'JLo Video Collection Popular Singer
Jennifer Lopez comes as the star of this week's 'Original Music
Competition', which is organised by M- Entertainment in collaboration
with TV Times. Actress/singer
Jennifer Lopez was born in the Bronx, NY on July 24, 1970; after
starting out in musical theatre as a child, at age 16 she made her
film debut in the little-seen My Little Girl, but her career then
stalled until she was tapped to become one of the dancing "Fly
Girls" on the television sketch comedy series In Living Color. A recurring
role on the TV drama Second Chances followed before Lopez was thrust
into - the limelight co-starring with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson
in the 1995 feature film Money Train; smaller roles in pictures
including My Family/Mi Familia, .Jack and Blood and Wine followed
before she landed the title role in 1997's Selena, portraying the
slain Tejano singer. Co-starring opposite George Clooney in 1998's
acclaimed out of light, Lopez (the product of a Puerto Rican family)
became the highest-paid Latina actress in Hollywood history; the
following summer, she returned to her musical roots with her debut
pop album on the 6th, scoring a major hit with the infectious single
"If You Had My love." Lopez didn't
waste time perfecting a sophomore effort, the appropriately titled
J. Lo, which was issued in early 2001. You can now
