Jennifer Lopez is heading to Australia! Jennifer will guest star on 3 episodes of Australia’s X Factor.

In related news, no word yet on whether or not Jennifer will return to American Idol next season. Jennifer has indicated that she has to decide by the end of the month, so we should know pretty soon!
As Maurice mentioned in his coverage of the BBMAs, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Billboard Music Awards as a JLo “super fan” to live tweet the red carpet and show to give JLovers an insider’s perspective of the show! You can check out our twitter feed for all of my coverage, but you can check out highlights after the jump!
Jennifer Lopez visited The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in NYC yesterday with her family! Montefiore and Jennifer’s Lopez Family Foundation announced that they have joined forces to establish the Center for a Healthy Childhood.
Designed to promote healthy living through community health programming and messages and a healthy environment, the new initiative builds upon Montefiore’s activities throughout its health system and the community-at-large and Jennifer Lopez’s long-standing commitment to improving the health and well-being of women and children.
“My roots are in the Bronx. It was natural to join forces with Montefiore, an organization that has cared for and served the Bronx for more than 100 years,” said Jennifer Lopez. “Our foundation has done amazing work improving the health and well-being of children around the world and now we’re looking forward to expanding the efforts underway in the borough where I grew up.”
The need in the Bronx is real. Of 62 counties in New York State, the Bronx is ranked last in overall health outcomes. The Bronx also continues to be the epicenter of high rates of obesity, diabetes, asthma and teen pregnancy.
“We are so pleased to work with Jennifer and her Foundation to impact real change for people living in the Bronx and the surrounding region,” said Steven M. Safyer, M.D., president and CEO, Montefiore. “Our partnership is unique and our goals are large, but we are committed to expanding our efforts and continuing to reach patients and their families, children and young adults in school and community members in an impactful way.”
The Lopez Family Foundation is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women and children. The organization advocates and invests in policies and programs that make a positive, measurable impact on communities. It strives to support organizations that make a difference in the lives of families around the world.
“We consider it a great honor to bring our efforts to the community in which we grew up and continue to love,” said Lynda Lopez. “Through this partnership, we know we can make a big difference to improve the health and well-being of families in the Bronx – and that brings us great joy.”
