Why Jennifer Lopez Is A Remarkable Woman?
She was not the only one to compete but she is the one who won the title. J.Lo has just been elected “the most influential person of the year” by the American magazine Forbes dethroning Lady Gaga.

So why did Jennifer Lopez come in first place in this ranking? Well, as the magazine explains, “It used to be that all a celebrity had to do was act, or sing, or handle a racket really well. Now, to be considered really successful, he or she has to sell clothes, perfumes or even invest in startups. And the now 42-year-old mother of two, who for a time had a long desert crossing, has since made a comeback and is collecting hats. L’Oréal and Gillette ambassador, “American Idol” jury, J.Lo also has her own clothing line and perfume.
