Jennifer Lopez was named People Magazine’s most beautiful woman in the world on Wednesday, capping a career comeback fueled by her new job on top-rated TV show ‘American Idol.’ The 41-year-old New York City-born singer and actress joined former winners Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner and Beyonce Knowles to top People’s annual list of the world’s most beautiful people.
The ‘Wedding Planner’ actress, who is married to singer Marc Anthony and took time off to have twins in 2008, has enjoyed a revival in popularity since becoming a judge this year on talent show ‘American Idol.’ Her new single, the dance pop hit, ‘On The Floor,’ has been topping charts around the world, giving Lopez her first Top 10 Billboard single since ‘All I Have’ in 2003. Lopez, who was dropped by her record label in 2010 after disappointing sales, releases her first new studio album in four years in May, called ‘Love?.’ Known for her flawless skin and curvy figure, she attributed looking good to her personal life. Since signing up last year for ‘American Idol’, – the most-watched TV show in the United States – Lopez has been named the celebrity face of a whole range of products.
