Lopez takes charts, screen by storm

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRTTER

NEW YORK - Temperatures
inside the Manhattan studio where
Jennifer Lopez is shooting yet
another magazine cover inch
toward 100 degrees.
Cheese cubes on a nearby table
have mutated into indistinguishable
blobs of cholesterol, colorful sum
mer fruit is now brown and the day's
stash of soda bobs idly in a bucket
of melted ice.
And Lopez doesn't complain as,
she's poked, prodded and slimed by
her team of professional handmaid
ens and assistants.
But it's hard to feel sorry for her.
After all, the Bronx-born Lopez,
just turned 29, has it all: looks, tal
ent, fame, money. Movie insiders
say she is commanding $5 million
for playing a doctor in "The Cell." a
thriller that begins filming next
month. Meanwhile, her single "If
You Had My Love" from her first ?
album, "On the 6," has remained at
the top of music charts since its
debut June 1.
The girl isn't just hot, she's siz
zling.
Tune into "Oprah" and there
she is, working those custom-made
leather capris. Women's World Cup?
It's Lopez live Magazine covers?
She's graced them from Elle to
InStyle to Cosmo to Vibe since her
breakthrough role as slain Tejane
star Selena in 1997.
Still no sympathy? Well, ho\f
about this: It's nearly 100 degrees in
this studio and she's wearing a
white, cotton TURTLENECK
sweater* OK. The itsy-bitsy denim
shorts showing her much-hyped
derriere probably allow for some
ventilation, but it's still steamy.
"Never complain, never
explain,'' Lopez says after finishing
the first photo shoot and going
through a 90-minute process of
washing and straightening her
honey-blond hair, changing and
posing for another round of pho
tographs. *
