Jennifer Lopez honored at Glamour “Woman of the Year” awards!

Jennifer was presented with Glamour magazine’s Woman of the Year “All Star” award by designer and long-time friend, Donatella Versace, who called her “unforgettable.” The yearly event was held in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and celebrates the top women who inspire the masses through their work and achievements in fields ranging from science, to politics, to entertainment.

Looking flawless in a thigh-revealing, floor-length Atelier Versace 2011 gown, Jimmy Choo heels and Harry Winston jewelry, JLo was easily the night’s best dressed! You can VOTE for her here!

During her heartfelt speech, Jennifer shared what she and the other women honored all have in common – that they’re all surrounded by inspiring women, too. She went on to share a beautiful piece of advice she once received from a key female figure in her life, “My grandma taught me, always go out looking nice, because people like that.”

Jennifer Lopez Set To Produce “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?”

According to Deadline, Jennifer Lopez is set to produce (and possibly star in!) a movie version of Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?

EXCLUSIVE: Walden Media has acquired rights to turn Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? into a live-action film involving Jennifer Lopez. I’d heard that Walden Media will develop the property as a vehicle for Lopez to play the title character, but Walden Media said at this point, she’s attached to produce only. The hope is to turn the property into National Treasure meets The Thomas Crown Affair.The logline: When the ACME agency’s greatest detective Carmen Sandiego becomes the world’s greatest thief, it’s up to her former partner to follow her clues and track her down. Their cat-and-mouse game leads the partner to confront a greater mystery: Is Carmen really a thief or a hero? The property originated as an educational computer game before it was turned into an animated TV series.

The film will be produced by Lopez and her Nuyorican Productions’ partners Benny Medina and Simon Fields, and Underground Films’ Nick Osbourne, Trevor Engelson and Devin Andre. Walden Media CEO Michael Bostick and SVP Evan Turner are steering the property after it was acquired from Hougton Mifflin. The property fits into Walden Media’s mandate to create properties that challenge kids; Carmen Sandiego is used as a teaching tool in more than half of elementary schools nationwide. The project tried the movie route once before; Disney optioned it in the late 1990s and developed a version for Sandra Bullock, but it never went anywhere.

Per EW, though no deal has been made yet for her to star in the film, they are “developing it as a potential starring vehicle for Jennifer Lopez.”
