People revealed their annual Most Beautiful issue today, and gracing the cover was none other than American Idol’s Jennifer Lopez.

In the accompanying article, Jen says of her beauty regimine, strict diet and tough workouts, ”The thing is, it’s part of my job.”  Before you get annoyed, she also adds, “I don’t want anybody thinking it’s easy.  It does take time and it’s hard work!  HDTV wide-screen is nobody’s friend!”

Tell like it is Jen!  The wife, mother, and performer has never looked better in her 41 years! She’s also scored the role of spokesmodel for Gillette’s Venus Goddess campaign, and her legs look amazing!

In my opinion, no one can rival Jennifer’s hair, makeup and wardrobe on American Idol, and it gets better every week!

So what do you think?  Does Jennifer Lopez look better than ever?  Leave us a comment and let us know!

Now that Elin Nordegren and Tiger Woods’ divorce is final, Elin is finally speaking out, in what she calls her first, and last interview. The 30-year-old former model tells People Magazine, “I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children.”

When news of Tiger Woods’ multiple affairs broke last November, Elin says she was completely blindsided by the whole ordeal. Amongst the range of emotions that have smacked the golf pro’s ex-wife in the face, she highlights her embarrassment, telling the magazine, “I felt stupid as more things were revealed — how could I not have known anything? The word ‘betrayal’ isn’t strong enough. I felt embarrassed for having been so deceived. I felt betrayed by many people around me. …”

Although the past nine months have been nothing short of an emotional roller coaster, Elin says she feels stronger than ever. “I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself.”

After Wednesday’s pro-am round at Barclay’s Tournament in New Jersey, Tiger took a few minutes to reflect on his own feelings regarding the divorce. He told the press, “I wish her the best in everything. You know, it’s a sad time in our lives. And we’re looking forward to…how we can help our kids the best way we possibly can. And that’s the most important thing.”

Elin is currently studying psychology at Rollins College. She says her focus now is taking care of her two children, getting her degree, and giving herself time to heal. Although she will reportedly get a settlement of up to 100 million dollars, she responds “Money can’t buy me happiness, or put my family back together.”

We all know New York is the city that never sleeps. But it’s also the playground of the rich and famous. If you’re ever in the Big Apple, check out some of these hotspots where celebrities dine, shop, relax and party.

After a long flight or drive, first up is the spa. Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz both frequent Exhale, according to People. Located in Central Park South, the upscale spa offers eyebrow waxing, facials and fitness routines, all integrating emotional and physical well being. But, you better be prepared to pay up – the “Eliza’s Eyes” eyebrow waxing costs $120.

Relaxed? Check. Now on to some shopping. Sexy songstresses Carrie Underwood and Beyonce both get their threads from Henri Bendel’s boutique. No wonder these two always look hot. Known for its unique fashion, Bendel has all your 5th Avenue needs.

And now moving on to What Comes Around Goes Around. Jessica Simpson and our favorite foreign fashionista, Victoria Beckham, shop at this stylish vintage boutique to find fashion trends from the last hundred years. Bring your charge card, because a classic pair of Levi’s from the 1940s can cost $3,000.

At this point you’ve definitely shopped up an appetite. In an unmarked West Village townhouse, you’ll find Bobo. The restaurant serves up celebs like Natalie Portman and Orlando Bloom. It’s no wonder, because the pan-European restaurant with antique décor and brownstone serves fresh, local food with a contemporary, personal touch. Hey, if it’s good enough for Orlando, it’s good enough for me!

Ok, enough running around. Time to hit the clubs! Just ask party girl Lindsay Lohan…she knows the hottest bar in NYC. Club Marquee gives you the choice of house, hip hop and rock-n-roll classics.

According to People, the club has three bars and if you’re Jamie Foxx, maybe you can afford the $14,000 bottle of Hennessey. Marquee staffs a hospitality manager to cater to the special needs of celebrities. No Wonder Lohan has been coming here since the club opened!

Can’t get enough of celebrities? Are you a pet-lover? Then you’ll love peoplepets.com as much as Mickey Rourke loves his dogs. Go visit this site.

The new Web site from People magazine is a one-stop site for breaking news, features, photos, pet fashion and silly animal videos. You won’t even have to go to You-Tube anymore for your funny animal fix because peoplepets.com gathers them all right here.

The news section provides breaking pet news like the passing of Rourke’s beloved Chihuahua; but, if you’re already a celebrity news aficionado, you probably won’t find anything here you don’t already know.

The pet features, however, are both interesting and unique. Where else are you going to find photo slideshows of “100 Years of Famous Dogs,” and “Top 10 Pet Moments of 2008.”

The pet fashions are one of the highlights of the Web site with its photos of pets modeling the practical (an absorbent towel), the interesting (a waterproof dog collar), and the fancy (a gold rhinestone trench coat). Details on the cost and where to find the items are helpful, and the price ranges cover every economic bracket from the affordable raincoat at Wal-Mart for $6.97 – $9.97 to the more expensive camo base coat at Paw Palace Online for $42.99.

Don’t forget this Web site is from People magazine. Those familiar with the magazine will enjoy “Today’s Walk of Fame,” which is like Star Tracks only all the celebrity spottings include their furry friends.

While the majority of the Web site is devoted to celebrities and pets, there’s also photos of real-life pets, behind-the-scenes footage of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, and even videos of foxes jumping on a trampoline.

Written in a loose, informal tone, People Pets is also very user-friendly. You can post comments, enter a caption contest for funny pet pictures, and upload cute pictures of your own pet.

So even if you won’t ever be on the same Web site as Paris Hilton, who knows? Maybe your pooch will have its picture next to Hilton’s Tinkerbell.

There aren’t many actors out there who shrug off their new movie as “just a film,” but Diego Luna does.

The 28-year-old told People at the premiere of his newly released film, “Milk,” that his almost four-month-old son, Jeronimo, changed his perspective on life.

“I’m here just talking about a film – it’s just a film – everything now is just what it is,” he said. “It can’t be so important. Now, there’s just one thing that really matters.”

Luna was born in Mexico City, Mexico to an English mother and Mexican father, but sadly his mother died in a car accident when he was two. Luna, whose father is a celebrated theater, cinema and opera set designer, began acting at an early age and became friends with fellow actor, Gael Garcia Bernal.

Luna got his big break in 2001 when he starred with Bernal in the critically acclaimed Mexican film, “Y tu mama también,” and he has gone on to star in films such as “Frida,” “The Terminal” and “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights.”

In his latest role in Gus Van Sant’s “Milk” he falls in love with Sean Penn’s character, Harvey Milk, who was the first openly gay elected official. “Milk” has earned rave reviews from critics and is already garnering Oscar buzz.

Making great films is something Luna cares a lot about even starting a production company with Bernal. They will next be producing a documentary directed by John Malkovich about illegal aliens.

But it seems films will be a little lower on his priority list these days because of Jeronimo.

“There is just one reason for you to be here,” he told People. “It’s to make sure someone else is happy, and has everything he needs. It’s as simple as that.”

Hugh Jackman was named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive 2008.” The magazine has been dubbing Hollywood’s hottest hunks since 1985 when Mel Gibson paved the way. 

Jackman now joins the ranks of George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Denzel Washington, to name a few.

On the talk show circuit as of late, Jackman’s been promoting his newest film, Australia, a romantic epic starring another hot Aussie, Nicole Kidman.

Jackman, best known as Wolverine in the X-Men films, had tough competition this year: “Bond. James Bond” Daniel Craig (no argument there), Mad Men’s Jon Hamm (didn’t see this one coming, but okay), and (gulp!) High School Musical’s Zac Efron (obviously a joke…is he even shaving yet?).

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony celebrated four years of marriage by renewing their wedding vows early Sunday morning.

The spur of the moment ceremony took place following an evening at Pure Nightclub, confirms People Magazine.

The ceremony was hosted at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, in the newly renovated Forum Tower Penthouse.  The couple were the first guests to stay in the luxe suite since the renovation, reports Entertainment Tonight.

Two friends severed as witnesses to the celebration, and the service was overseen by Reverend Steven Smith.

“It was totally a spur of the moment thing,” a source told People Magazine. “They decided around 12:30 in the morning that they wanted to do it and started calling for ministers.”

Lopez and Anthony have much to celebrate welcoming their twins Max and Emme this past February.

Speculation is constantly swirling about who is gay and who is straight in the entertainment world. The gay rumor mill is slowing down a bit because Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have finally acknowledged their very public relationship on the radio and Clay Aiken broke the news on the cover of People magazine.

Samantha had called into Loveline syndicated show on KROQ radio in L.A., to talk about the Learjet plane crash that included former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM Adam Goldstein, when Lindsay got on the line. When asked how long they had been together, Lindsay responded, “A very long time.” This comes as no surprise to anyone who follows entertainment news.

Also coming with little surprise is Clay Aiken with newborn baby via surrogate mother on the cover of People saying, “Yes, I’m gay.” People hits newsstands Wednesday at 7 AM.

National Coming Out Day isn’t until October 11, but these stars are celebrating early. 

Check out our favorite girl, Jen Aniston. No John Mayer tears here, she heated up the frozen Toronto Film Festival with a sexy, little, black Balenciaga dress.  Less is certainly more with a long sparkling pendent and strappy sandals to add a perfect finish. Get yours! Calvin Klein has a basic, black sheath for $138.00, People Magazine reports.

Jessica Alba is playing designer’s pet. At the Narcisco Rodriguez show at NYC’s fashion week, Alba glows in the artist’s peach, silk dress.  Add rosy checks, smooth, sexy bangs and a sweet bow for a look that is as innocent as it is HOT.

British bomb shell Victoria Beckham, at Marc Jacobs show at Fashion Week, arrived hand-in-hand with J Lo and had our mouths gaping. Posh stole the spotlight with a new pixie cut, paired with a tiny, strapless, black dress from her own line. Don’t forget, not that you could miss it, the $17 million, 19 karat, Shopart diamond ring on her finger!

But who could forget about Britney Spears?! The girl is on her way back. At the VMA’s she sparkled in a custom-made, silver Versace dress and Jimmy Choo heels.
