She may be in the Brazilian City of Rio De Janeiro as part of her Dance Again tour, but life is certainly not all work and no play for Jennifer Lopez. The 42-year-old singer and actress hit the beach with her toyboy beau Casper Smart and her four-year-old twins Max and Emme, along with her mother Guadalupe today.

Whenever we think, talk or write about Jennifer Lopez we try to repeat that how much we love her. Now that "American Idol" is on the air again and I'm seeing her several times a week on television, I love her even more. I'm a bit hot and cold on Jennifer's music although I love her acting but I really became a fan with "Idol".

Did "American Idol" save Jennifer Lopez or did Jennifer Lopez save "American Idol"? This is the question a lot of people have been asking since Lopez was named the "most beautiful woman in the world" by People Magazine. Think back just a little bit to where Lopez was before being a new AI judge. Her singles were barely charting and her movie career was pretty much stalled (to be fair, I really liked "The Backup Plan").

I know I've said it time and time again, but I really do love Jennifer Lopez. I don't care about her personal life and all of that drama. Sure it's interesting to read about but there are far more intriguing things about Jennifer to talk about. Her movies are nearly always panned by critics but to be honest, I actually like a good romantic comedy from time to time and she's definitely made some good ones.

So Jennifer Lopez is dating Casper, one of her backup dancers. Are they getting serious? Who knows for sure but these shots were taken as they frolicked on the beach together in Hawaii with Jennifer's kids which is probably a pretty good sign that they are. I would love to know what it is with pop superstars and their backup dancers.

She might be getting divorced but that's not our concern, isnt it? We are happy that she is still there to spread some lover and now once again here’s Jennifer Lopez still using her latina ass to get attention. When she has nothing else to create a buzz, she uses her ass and that’s what she did for the past few years.

Every time I write about Jennifer Lopez, I feel the need to mention my opinion of her changed completely after watching her as a judge on “American Idol”. Before I thought she was the diva to end all divas and that colored my opinion of her as a performer.

Only a few short months before the tenth season of ‘American Idol’ hit the airwaves, you’d be hard pressed to find someone that would say Jennifer Lopez wasn’t washed up. Her last single was a giant flop. The same can be said for her latest movie, “The Back Up Plan” (which I actually really liked, by the way). Then along comes “Idol” and Jennifer Lopez is back in the limelight.

It has been a long time since that famous green dress, hasn’t it. That plunging neckline. The super high waist. The rolls and rolls of double sided tape it must’ve taken to hold it all together. Back then the name Jennifer Lopez was on everybody’s lips. Today? Not so much.
