PEOPLE EN ESPANOL SAYS VIVA LA J.LO: Actress-singer honored as ‘Most Influential Hispanic.’
*With a return to the spotlight in 2007 sparked by the January premiere of her MTV reality show “DanceLife,” Jennifer Lopez adds the distinction of topping People en Espanol’s list of "100 Most Influential Hispanics."
The annual tally, appearing in the magazine’s February issue, honors those who have made an impact in the Hispanic community. Inside, cover girl J.Lo says “being an example to others is a big part of my work."
The magazine also pressed her about public reports that she is trying desperately to have a baby with husband, Marc Anthony.
"I come from a strong family, so of course I want to have one," Lopez tells the magazine. "But I do have my own family: my immediate family, my husband and his children. I get to share in all of that. I am very lucky to have that."
Also on People en Espanol’s list of "100 Most Influential Hispanics" are Antonio Banderas, Carlos Santana, Eva Longoria, George Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin, Salma Hayek and Shakira, among others.
The magazine also honors filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (culture/the arts), Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (politics/public affairs), businessman Carlos Slim Helu (business), MTV President Christina Norman (media), Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim owner Arturo Arte Moreno (sports), sociologist Aida Giachello (science and technology/health) and teacher Bertha Flores (education).
“DanceLife,” which follows aspiring dancers trying to make it big, is scheduled to premiere Jan. 15 at 10:30 on MTV.
