Jennifer Lopez enjoys 'seeing the world'

Jennifer Lopez, her boyfriend Casper Smart and her children love 'seeing the world'.
The 43-year-old singer-and-actress is currently on an international concert tour that began five months ago.
Casper and Jennifer's two young twins Max and Emma with singer Marc Anthony have joined her on the journey.

They are all having a blast.
'We''ve seen, I don''t know how many cities all together, a lot!' she told Extra.
'We''re seeing the world, my babies are with me and we are just having a good time.'
New York native Jennifer was devastated to learn of the havoc that Hurricane Sandy wreaked on her beloved city weeks ago.
The impact of the devastation was very personal for the star.
'I have a lot of people back home there, my sister, my mom, and even my babies are there visiting their dad right now,' she explained.
'My mom didn''t lose power, thank God, but the babies' dad, Marc, they did.'
Jennifer is focused on her work currently.
She is unsure whether or not she'll ever be part of such a large concert tour in the future.
'I don''t know if I''ll tour again, but it''s just one of those experiences that doesn''t come along every day, so I just try to enjoy it for what it is,' she said.

A little help from his famous fans: Jennifer Lopez and beau Casper Smart join the likes of Mick Jagger and Scarlett Johannson at Obama fundraiser

It's a costly business trying to raise fund for an election campaign but Barack Obama can count on a a group of wealthy celebrities to help support his cause. 

Jennifer Lopez was just one famous face eager to open her purse at a Democratic fundraiser in Paris last night. 

The Get On the Floor singer, accompanied by toyboy Casper Smart, joined a select group of fashionistas, rock stars and Hollywood actors in Paris on Monday evening at an Obama Victory Fund cocktail party.

Red hot: Jennifer Lopez, accompanied by toyboy Casper Smart, looked stunning in a red dress split to the thigh

The former American Idol host teamed her thigh baring red dress with a pair of black stilettos and a slash of red lipstick, while her 25-year-old dancer boyfriend opted for a grey three-piece suit.

Jennifer was recently included in the Forbes list of most powerful women, prompting speculation that she could soon move into the world of politics.

The 'Jenny From The Block' singer told British magazine Look.: 'Might you see me entering politics? Yeah, there are women popping up in all different places now.'

'We'll see as time goes on. You know how women are, we'll start taking over little by little.'

Who Wore It Better? Jennifer Lopez vs. Mel B's Grey Snakeskin Dress

Before she called it quits on the show, Jennifer Lopez stunned on "American Idol" in this skin-tight snakeskin sheath dress by Lanvin. Earlier this summer (June), Spice Girl Melanie Brown was gorgeous in the same grey frock at the launch of the '90s girl group's "Viva Forever" musical. Both ladies let their curves do the talking, slicking back their hair and opting for simple makeup accented by a smokey eye. But while J.Lo was her usual glam self and piled on the chunky golden accessories, Sporty Spice kept the bling to a minimum -- that is, until you get down to those fierce stilettos!

So, who do you think wore the snakeskin Lanvin dress better -- J.Lo or Mel B? Cast your vote in our poll 

Who Wore It Better? Melanie Brown vs. Jennifer Lopez's Sparkly Bodysuit

It was just earlier this month that we noticed Spice Girl Melanie Brown sporting the very same snakeskin frock thatJennifer previously wore during an episode of "American Idol." After last night's Spice Girls reunion at the Olympics closing ceremony in London, we're starting to sense a pattern when it comes to Scary Spice's style inspiration. Mel B left little to the imagination when she stepped out on the live stage in a dazzling, sheer and sequined bodysuit and long, loose waves. Of course, it was just last month (July) that J.Lo debuted a very similar stage costume and hairstyle during her co-headlining tour with Enrique Iglesias.

Who Wore It Better? Melanie Brown vs. Jennifer Lopez's in a Sparkly Bodysuit… Different but similar, who do you think rocked the Sparkly Bodysuit look better??

Jennifer Lopez Looks Stunning, Models Bikinis For Vogue Read more: http://singersroom.com/content/2012-05-18/Jennifer-Lopez-Looks-Stunning-Models-Bikinis-For-Vogue/#ixzz1vK5ey4sp

Forbes' 2012 celebrity 100 champion Jennifer Lopez looks absolutely dashing in a photo shoot for Vogue's June 2012 issue. Shot by Mario Testino, the American Idol judge, 42, models several one and two piece bikinis, showing off her stunning curves.

According to Forbes, Lopez banked $52 million in earnings over the last 12 months and garnered a huge amount of fame, making her No. 1 on their Celebrity 100 list for the first time. 

It's rumored that Lopez may not sign on for another season of Idol. "She's just too busy," a source said. She is set to tour with Enrique Iglesias this summer when "Idol" auditions kick off. 

Jennifer Lopez Set To Leave American Idol?

Jennifer Lopez calling it quits? With her second season as a judge on American Idol is well and truly under way, the R&B star has admitted that she might not be sticking around to see in what would be her third season. Whilst promoting her upcoming film; What to Expect When You're Expecting with her co-star Cameron Diaz on Ellen Degeneres' daytime chat show, she alluded to the fact that she is still unsure about whether she will be returning to the popular reality show once the current series is over.

J-Lo said to DeGeneres that although she does enjoy being on the show, she is unsure on what the future holds for her, both in regards to her time on and off the programme. Her hesitation to follow-up her turn as a judge on any upcoming series also came down to the fact that the show "locks you down" and she would be likely to miss a lot of things if she commits to another series, most notably her children growing up. She went on to mention to the chat-show host that as her children are getting old enough to go to school she wants to be around them to witness this as it happens and not be resigned to her duties on American Idol.

Should J-Lo leave her post on the show behind her, it will see her lose out on the reported $12 million she makes per season, $2 million more than what Christina Aguilera makes on The Voice and $3 million less than what Britney Spears is set to make on the American version of the X Factor.

Jennifer Lopez Asks Court To Take Kids On Tour

Jennifer Lopez has asked a judge for permission to take her children on tour.

The 42-year-old 'American Idol' panelist will embark on a series of concerts with Enrique Iglesias this year but faces legal problems with her four-year-old twins Max and Emme accompanying her.

After her fellow performer and father of her children, Marc Anthony, filed for divorce in April, a court ordered that their offspring should not cross the border of California without prior permission.

Now Jennifer and 43-year-old Marc will both be outside of the state as he kicks of his own gig dates in August.

The 'What To Expect When You're Expecting' star has filed documents asking for and her estranged husband to arrange shared custody schedule for the duration of them being away from home between themselves.

However the parents won't find out the court's decision until briefly before they are due to travel.

A court hearing has been arranged for June 26 and Jennifer's tour with Enrique begins in July.

The 'On The Floor' singer has been dating her back-up dancer Casper Smart for the past six months, and the hunk knows how to make her feel special.

A source told People magazine: ''He treats her like a queen. Casper centres everything on Jennifer.''
