Jennifer Lopez talks to Elle magazine about being a mother, performing at age 40 and her film career.
And no, she doesn't get into that controversial New Year's Eve sparkly skin-tight bodysuit.
Or her ex-husband's honeymoon video.
On her romantic comedies: "I think "Maid in Manhattan" and "Monster-in-Law" are very layered movies. And that's why they're so successful. People don't like s****y romantic comedies. Nothing that's s****y is going to make $100 million."
On competing with twenty-something pop idols as a 40-year-old mother of twins: "This is what I do -- what, because I have kids and a husband now I'm not supposed to be me? I'm a more heightened me if anything. Hyper J.Lo. Everything I wanted before, I want twice as much now. And that doesn't mean material things; it means to explore more, to think more. Being an artist doesn't start because you're 21, and it doesn't
