The Viva Móvil Fiesta will kick off the grand opening of the Viva Movil Flatbush store in Brooklyn TODAY, Friday, July 26, 12-4pm ET. The store is located at 162 Flatbush Avenue.
The street next to the store (Pacific) will be closed during this time for the “Viva Móvil Fiesta” event where there will be free food, caricatures, giveaways, and participating partner activities with Verizon and Univision. We can also confirm that Jennifer, herself, will make an appearance at the store!!
This will be a fun family event and we hope to see many BBers celebrating the flagship store grand opening of Viva Móvil by Jennifer Lopez!
Here are photos of Jennifer at the event:

She spoke briefly and then ceremoniously cut the ribbon for the “grand opening”.
I bought tickets for her British Summer Time Hyde Park show months ago. The event happened to be exactly 10 days away from her actual birthday so this seemed to be the perfect occasion to present her our special gift.
This year’s gift, as most you know, was a crystal brick with names of the most active BBers on it.
BeyondBeautifulJLo’s 2014 birthday gift
After hopping on the plane from the Netherlands to London, UK the day before the actual event, things got more and more exciting. On July 14th me and 2 fellow lovers, Lianne and Yvonne, showed up around 10.30 am at Hyde Park’s gates. Waiting for the doors to open at 2 pm wasn’t that bad after all, due to other JLovers present with whom we had some nice chats.
When Stooshe, Jennifer’s support act on the European leg of her Dance Again World Tour, and some other acts finished their performances, things started to heat up on this hot summer day. They were getting the stage ready for Jennifer. JR, her choreographer, was doing some check ups so we knew it wouldn’t be long until Jennifer would make her entrance herself. A loud ‘let’s get it!’ got us all super excited: she opened the show with my personal favorite Get Right. During her 4, all new, costume changes Jennifer performed her wide range of smash hits including: Waiting For Tonight, Love Don’t Cost A Thing, Jenny From The Block, On The Floor, Dance Again and her latest single Live It Up. She delivered yet another amazing concert, showcasing the stage powerhouse she is!
Right after her performance we rushed to the VIP area, where we met up with one of Jennifer’s people who escorted us to the backstage area to present Jennifer our BBJLo Birthday gift. While we waited for her we saw some dancers, choreographer JR, Max & Emme and stylists Mariel and Kelly passing by. Press was present to get some shots of Jennifer. When she was done with that it was BBJLo time! Being the doll she always is, she welcomed me with a hug. After a little chat I presented her our birthday gift. She absolutely loved it and assured me it would get a nice spot just like our gift from last year, which made it to her dressing room as seen on the Katie Show. The video below captures her receiving the gift.
While holding our birthday gift proudly, she posed for the photographers with me right by her side and took some individuals shots with us after. On a personal note, I was able to thank her briefly for the difference she made in my life. My mom got diagnosed with cancer around the time Jenn started her music career and I became a fan the instant I saw her If You Had My Love video on TV for the first time. By playing her music I was able to get some time for myself in order to forget everything around me which I really needed back then. I thanked her for always being there in an unconscious way, and she said to me ‘awww I’m still here!’ and gave me another hug. As you can imagine, a very special moment for me. Mission accomplished!
I want to thank all the lovers who donated for the gift and for making BBJLo the magical place it is! Special thanks to Mark Young, Yoan, Stefan, Nancy and Gilly for making this happen!
Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull made a splash – literally – at the Premios Juventud Awards in Miami earlier tonight! The duo performed their hits On The Floor, Dance Again, and Live it Up (and Don’t Stop The Party) in a nearly 7-minute long performance. A lucky group of BBers were lucky enough to attend the show and watch it live! Here is Yoan’s video from the show:
You can watch the official performance video at the bottom of this post.
After Jennifer dried off and glammed up again, she picked up her Worldwide Icon Award:
She became very emotional. but despite that she delivered a great speech. I’ve translated what she said because I found it very inspiring!
When I look at all those images and all of your beautiful faces, I feel very lucky to be here tonight. What I’ve always wanted to do with my life is create, sing, dance, act, entertain, and be a good person. I love what I do. I am an artist.
I know that being a role model for my community means being responsible for my actions. I’m a human being, and of course, I make mistakes. But I promise that when I fall, I always get back up. When I’m wrong, I learn my lesson and am ready to face new challenges. To me, that is living your best life – doing your best work while being the best person you can be.
Hopefully, along the way, you can make your family and community proud. If I’ve inspired you or made your life more enjoyable, or helped you dream and realize that you can achieve those dreams, then it was all worth it. I receive this award with a lot of humility and I am very thankful. Thank you for this special award. I love you all very much!
