So much has happened...where do we begin?

So much has happened these last 9 months, in TV, books, movies, life, politics, etc. So where do we begin...let's start with Jennifer Lopez...

Did we or did we not love J.Lo on Idol? I thought she was great. Everything from her outfits to her advice, to the way she really pulled for the Latino/a contestants was great. Despite her lack of singing ability, she is a great entertainer and her story is pretty awesome so why wouldn't up and comers want advice from a multi-millionaire? Then she gave that great performance with ex-husband (more on that) Marc Anthony's rendition of Aguanile! It really put Latino pop/salsa at the forefront of American Idol! They both get props on that!
Then came the album - Love? - or I should say the single "Get On the Floor" featuring Pitbull. The song was amazing thanks to great producing (RedOne). Overall her song propelled her popularity into mainstream media again (along with Idol). The album itself is not great, most of the songs sound the same but it did fairly well considering her perfect timing of the release. The only other song that did okay was the one with Lil' Wayne "I'm So Into You." Overall, I think most albums focus on the first two releases and the rest is filler...(For the fans at least.)

Well then the news broke, they were breaking up! After 7 years of marriage and twins, our Latino power couple (I mean really who's left? Gloria/Emilio) were officially divorcing. Word spread quickly that Marc had cheated on J.Lo and that she had also become romantically involved with William Levy...but they claim cheating had nothing to do with it...

So J.Lo has had a busy year. She is also working on the movie, "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Overall, I hope that Ms. Lopez keeps workin' it in 2012!
