December date with Jennifer Lopez

International superstar Jennifer Lopez will be in Kuala Lumpur for a concert in December. But first, here’s a chance to win her Greatest Hits album

Jennifer Lopez New Album

PACKED with a dozen sensational career-spanning hits and two new chart-topping songs, Dance Again...The Hits marks Jennifer Lopez’s first greatest hits package.

Since its debut in March, more than 1.4 million copies have been sold worldwide and it has reached the number one spot on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Chart.

The multi-talented international superstar has sold over 70 million records worldwide, 11.8 million albums in the United States and scored 11 #1 hits, making her one of the best-selling artistes of all time, establishing Dance Again...The Hits as a must-have musical retrospective.

And soon, the multi-talented superstar is also set for her debut concert here.

Scheduled to be held at Stadium Merdeka on Dec 2 at 8pm, it is part of Lopez’s first headlining world tour.

Dubbed the Dance Again Tour, it began in June. Panama City was the first venue, and then it travelled to Latin America before making its way to Asia, Europe and Australia.

It promises to be an energetic evening for the audience, raising the bar where show choreography is concerned.

Be prepared to be enthralled by Lopez’ latest dance hits.

A professionally trained dancer specialising in ballet, jazz and flamenco, Lopez is well known for her upbeat pop songs and dance moves. She has worked with well known choreographers such as Dave Scott, Cris Judd, Brian Friedman, Wade Robson, Tyce Diorio, Travis Payne, Jeri Slaughter, Laurie Ann Gibson, Mia Michaels and Tina Landon.

The former American Idol judge and more recently on reality talent scout show Q’ Viva, Lopez’s foray into the music scene begin in 1999 with the release of her debut album On The 6. Needless to say, the rest is history.

Tickets are priced from RM168 to RM658.

Pop Stars In Nude Bodysuits: Trend Or Foe?

Is she naked onstage? No, it's just another double-taking nude bodysuit! At the 2000 MTV VMAs, a 19-year-old Britney Spears shocked audiences when she stripped off her clothes to reveal little more than rhinestones and nude fabric. (Admit it, it took you a good few moments to realize there was fabric). Now, more than a decade after Britney's wardrobe trickery, the nude bodysuit has returned full-force on the pop star scene. Are these new renditions of Spears's VMAs look a pop trend or pop foe?

Britney Spears Nude Body

Behold, the original sparkly nude look! Britney Spears sizzled the rhinestones off her incredible body with an unbelievably sexy performance of "Oops...I Did It Again" at the 2000 MTV VMAs, proving once and for all that the bubblegum singer was "not that innocent."

Pink Nude Body

A decade after Britney Spears's VMAs outfit shocker, Pink flaunted her Olympics-worthy body in a look that mated Britney's nude VMAs getup and Cher's "Turn Back Time" barely-there electrician's tape outfit for her death-defying, aerial performance at the 2010 Grammys. Again, rhinestones seem to be the only thing keeping the singer from being completely exposed, but given the gymnastic emphasis of her act, a skin-tight bodysuit was a must!...

Jennifer Lopez Nude Body

Singer Jennifer Lopez bedazzled her unmentionables at the 2011 American Music Awards, thus garnering immediate comparisons to Spears's look. Britney and Pink at least had straps and/or flared pants to make their outfit look more, well, there, but Lopez's outfit left very little to the imagination.

Mel B nude body

Mel B of the Spice Girls was slightly more covered-up than previous nude bodysuits, rocking one that had a more even, less "strategic" spattering of sequins at the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony

Jessie J nude body

Here's a two-fer! British pop star Jessie J rocked not one, but two nude bodysuits at the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony in London. Probably the most "covered" of all the bodysuit-flaunters here, the singer started with a nude leotard adorned with black flowers, then moved on to a bodysuit that was half nude fabric and half nude-tinted sequins

Katy Perry Nude Body

And now for the nudest of the nude suits! Katy Perry was caught off-guard when she won an award at Canada's 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards immediately after her performance, with no time for an outfit change. The singer quipped that had she known she'd win, she would've worn more clothes! Ironically, her award statue looked like a black censor bar, and Katy appropriately used it to cover her behind as she scurried offstage!

Katy Perry Turns Down $20 Million American Idol Job Offer!

it’s not everyday that someone turns down a $20 million paycheck, but Katy Perry has reportedly done just that.

The Wide Awake singer has snubbed an offer to join Mariah Carey on the American Idoljudging panel, according to multiple media outlets.

Apparently the show’s producers were so keen to get the California Gurl that they offered her $2 million more than Carey who’s the highest paid judge on a TV show in that genre.

If she accepted the offer the heart-stopping sum would have been just for a one-year contract.

But it seems that the 27-year-old Teenage Dream singer, who recently split from lady killer John Mayer, [] has no desire to be on the successful TV show.

American Idol executives are scrambling to fill the judging panel that has several vacancies since Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler announced their departure earlier this summer.

Meanwhile, Randy Jackson -- who has been a judge since the show first aired ten years ago -- has decided to become a mentor instead.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, rapper Nicki Minaj is rumored to be in talks to join the show. So too is Alanis Morissette and pop star Nick Jonas.
