We had a chance to catch up with Mary Phillips, Jennifer’s super talented makeup artist, to get the scoop on her work and what it’s like to work with Jennifer! As Jennifer’s top makeup artist for the past 4 years, you’ve no doubt seen her work. She has worked with Jennifer on her music videos, American Idol, the Dance Again World Tour, magazine covers, red carpets all over the world, and more. If Jennifer worked on it, chances are, Mary
Mary was nice enough to let us call her on her only day off in weeks to tell us all about her work and why she loves her job.

Her Journey. offers a rare and personal look into the life of this inspiring artist and entrepreneur. You don’t want to miss this, JLovers! It airs on Thursday, July 18 at 8 PM.
Then, stay tuned for another one of Jennifer’s shows, A Step Away. A Step Away is a never-before-seen behind-the-scenes look at the lives of Jennifer’s professional back-up dancers while on the Dance Again World Tour. This docu-series follows the journey of eight professional dancers performing night after night, across the continents, giving it their all, falling in love, dealing with injury, as they pursue their ultimate passion for dance.
Earlier today Jennifer Lopez received the historic 2500th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!!! It was a great event with Jennifer’s friends, family, and colleagues who influenced her career in major ways all in attendance. There was a mob of over 1,000 very excited fans on hand, as well! Fans began waiting in line at 4 AM to make sure they got a front row look at the 11:30 AM ceremony. (Of course, the first JLovers in line were BBJLovers!)
Many people who were instrumental in getting Jennifer to this momentous occasion spoke prior to the big star unveiling. First up was Benny Medina, Jennifer’s long-time manager, who declared that “Jenny From The Block has a new address!” Gregory Nava and Keenan Ivory Wayans, who gave her opportunities when others doubted her, also spoke. Jane Fonda, who Jennifer referred to as “legendary”, said, “Most of the stars on this Hollywood Walk of Fame are for a person that has one talent. To tell you the truth, she should have a whole block of stars.” Finally, Pitbull, her “kindred spirit” took the stage, saying, “She didn’t break down doors, she broke down barriers, boundaries, cultures, countries, the Earth, and planets.”
After all of their lovely speeches, Jennifer delivered a great speech, thanking those who helped her achieve all that she has accomplished, including her JLovers! Jennifer tried incredibly hard not to cry throughout her speech. She ended it beautifully, saying, “The path I’ve taken from the streets of the Bronx to this moment on Hollywood Blvd is paved with the love and support of my family, friends, the family I’ve created working, my glam fam – who are always in the background never wanting the spotlight – and of course, you, all the fans! Thank you so much for going on this journey with me. Today, this landmark moment inspires me to work harder and dream bigger for all that is the future. I hope you feel as I do that it was all worth it and I hope that I have touched your hearts even in a small way like the gigantic way that you have touched mine. Thank you so much.”
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were photographed visiting their kid’s school yesterday. It’s nice to see that they can get along for the kid’s sake! Check out the pics, thanks to LopezLove09.
