 who reveals that despite being a certified film star, an emerging pop-music princess, and a high-priced pitchwoman for L'Oreal, Jennifer Lopez is just a round-the-way girl at heart.

If celebrity is this country's religion then Jennifer Lopez, in the past two years, emerged a most seductive deity, writes Hampton. Lopez's recent success: "If You Had My Love," the premiere single off her debut album, On the 6, is currently the #1 pop single this week. The album made history by landing the #1 slot on the Hot 100, Hot 100 Singles Sales, and R&B Singles Sales charts simultaneously. Says Lopez, "I can't try to be Whitney or Faith. I do something different. I have something else to offer to anybody who'll want to, you know, f**king get down."

"Jennifer represents all the things that we [Latinos] are: beautiful, voluptuous, intelligent, proud," says artist Big Pun Christopher Lee Rios (November 9 1971–February 7 2000), better known as Big Punisher or Big Pun, was an American rapper of Puerto Rican descent who emerged from the underground rap scene in The Bronx in the late 1990s.  who worked with Lopez on "Feelin' so Good," which was produced by Puff Daddy (who is quoted as saying, "I swear to God, my name better not even be in honey's article.")
