                          No she has an "Ok eww that's enough lemme back up" pose and vibe, you can see that especially on the live Dominican performance, then look back at how she used to melt on Ben Affleck and Chris.

                                              Stars laud unsung 'poverty heroes'
                                              (Wednesday November 09, 2005 08:36 AM)

                                              Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez and her singer husband Marc Anthony, British entrepreneur Richard Branson, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton and broadcaster Walter Cronkite have joined forces to honour nine "unsung heroes of poverty eradication."

                                              The celebrities were part of Monday night's star-studded ceremony at the United Nations honouring the winners of The Global Microentrepreneurship Awards.

                                              The nine poor and low-income winners - from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Liberia, South Africa, India, China, Malawi, Sierra Leone and Peru - used small loans to establish successful businesses.

                                              Cronkite read a message from UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who is travelling in the Middle East, praising the winners and the International Year of Microcredit 2005. With access to small loans, people can move "beyond day-to-day survival," earn and save more, "and protect themselves better against life's unexpected setbacks," he said.

                                              But Annan reminded the VIP audience that "these victories are too rare still in this complicated world of ours" and for microcredit to become a real success business must get involved on a large scale.

                                              Perhaps the loudest applause was given not to a celebrity but to Mama Fatu, a 70-year-old widow from Sierra Leone who took out a 25-dollar microcredit loan in 1998 to start grinding tobacco to produce snuff. She diversified into vegetable production, rice farming and brewing local gin.

                                              "I am illiterate," the elderly woman in a traditional African blue dress said, clutching her glass-engraved award. "I don't know how to go through immigration procedures, but today I am in New York."

                                              As a result of the war in Sierra Leone, she said she was poor and almost homeless "but life came back because of microcredit", which enabled her to earn money to send her son to college and build a house.

                                              "And nobody is going to drag me out of a house again," she said, to huge applause.

                                              Master of ceremonies actor-director Tim Robbins did not seem to mind being upstaged. Neither did awards presenters Lopez, Branson, Clinton, and Rory Kennedy, daughter of the late Senator Robert F Kennedy, or singers Anthony, Roberta Flack and Ben Jelen.
                                              ************************
                                              It's not Jennifer Lopez' usual style to take a back seat in public, but the Latin diva was happy to do so at a recent UN anti-poverty gala. Accompanied by husband Marc Anthony, J Lo attended a celeb-studded ceremony, hosted by her friend Tim Robbins, to pay tribute to developing-world entrepreneurs.


                                              Looking relaxed and happy in a flattering backless frock, Jennifer mingled with guests, including millionaire businessman Richard Branson and Chelsea Clinton at the event which honoured the "unsung heroes" of poverty eradication.

                                              She has known Oscar-winner Tim since starring with his partner Susan Sarandon in Shall We Dance, and their children are said to be very fond of her. While Susan and Tim are well-known in Hollywood for their support of worthy causes, J Lo has not been a high-profile campaigner until now.

                                              If her latest movie choice is anything to go by though, the actress may be becoming increasingly socially aware. She recently lensed Bordertown, a movie with a message which focuses on the largely unsolved killings of women in the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez.

                                              Perhaps the biggest applause on the night, however, came for an elderly African woman who travelled from her home in Sierra Leone to accept her UN honour. Mama Fatu, a 70-year-old victim of the war in the country, rebuilt her life with a $25 loan. "I am illiterate," she said, clutching her glass-engraved award. "I don't know how to go through immigration procedures, but today I am in New York."
