Happy Birthday to US!

I just realized that we missed our 9th birthday! It was actually this past Friday, but I wanted to mention it. As many of you know, the site began as a forum, Beyond Beautiful aka BB. BB was created on May 13, 2002 and we’ve been hanging out and supporting La Lopez ever since! It’s crazy to think that so many of us have been fans and online pals for so long.

We just wanted to thank all of the BBers, new and old, who visit the sites, post on the board, follow us on Twitter, etc. BB would be nothing without you guys and we appreciate all of you! And, of course, we want to thank Jennifer and all of the people around her for supporting us, as well.

#JLOVE? always,

The BB Staff

JLo Performs At Wango Tango!

Jennifer Lopez performed in front of a sold out crowd at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango last night! She performed “On The Floor” with Pitbull for the show’s grand finale. As Jennifer performed, the music and her microphone suddenly cut out. Always a pro, Jennifer continued with the performance and hyped up the crowd. When the audio finally came back on, Jennifer good-naturedly joked with the crowd saying, “Nobody keeps mama down. This is what show business is all about, baby. Who’s getting fired tonight? Somebody’s getting fired tonight!”  before taking it from the top and performing the song again.

J. Lo: The Sequel – From The New York Times

The New York Times has a feature on Jennifer on their site. It’s a really great write-up, and I definitely recommend you check it out. Here’s an excerpt:

SHE arrived like a modern-day Cleopatra, smiling and waving down at her adoring masses from the top deck of a trolley, her blown-out tresses fluttering in the wind.

“Lauren Bacall said, ‘It’s all about exits and entrances,’ ” clucked Jennifer Lopez’s publicist as the star — Saran-wrapped in a sparkly gold jumpsuit — descended the trolley stairs and tottered atop perilously high heels toward a makeshift red carpet set up at the Grove, an outdoor mall in Los Angeles, where she was taping a segment for “Extra.”

Amid shrieks and iPhone flashes, Ms. Lopez climbed up onstage and talked about her new album, “Love?” (Island Def Jam); about being a spokeswoman for L’Oréal; and about how to dress in her style for less.

“It doesn’t have to be expensive,” she said brightly, as models sashayed across the stage in Lopez-inspired outfits culled from the racks of Macy’s.

Meet the new, user-friendly J. Lo, who is back to doing it all, only without the imperious attitude that helped propel her to fame. In a few days she would fly to New York to introduce the new fashion lines that she and her husband, Marc Anthony, are designing for Kohl’s. Then she would return to L.A. for a flurry of events promoting “Love?” and her twice-a-week gig as a judge on the popular TV show “American Idol.”….
