Jennifer Lopez from a distance, it may have looked like she was wearing nothing
but her birthday suit. But in fact, Jennifer Lopez was sporting a swimsuit
nearly matching the colour of her tawny skin as she filmed a new music video on
Fort Lauderdale on Sunday. The 43-year-old singer and actress looked stunning
with her beachy tousled hair, smoky brown eye make-up and orange lipstick.
The high necked beachwear was cutaway to show a great deal of the curvy star's 'sideboob',
especially as she relaxed on a sunlounger during the shoot. At one point, she
teamed a chunky Egyptian style gold choker with the swimsuit which she paired
with light brown simple flip flops. Jennifer was spotted embracing rapper
Pitbull who features on the video for Live It Up.
Pitbull sported a striking teal blue suit for his appearance. Jennifer looked
focused and energetic as she danced her way through the video in a sea green
patterned kaftan over a black bikini. She showed off her perfectly toned pins as
the kaftan fell away during some of her more energetic dance moves. She was also
joined by a group of bikini clad dancers and models for the shoot including
America's Next Top model beauty Eva Marcille.The menagerie of scantily-clad
ladies joined Jennifer as she ran into the ocean, clothed in her kaftan.
Jennifer certainly seemed to enjoy the refreshing dip, laughing and giggling in
the ocean.
There was no sign of Jennifer's five-year-old twins Max and Emme at the beach on
Sunday. However, J-Lo was joined by her toyboy beau Casper Smart who sat back
and watched the action under some shade. The 26-year-old dancer sported a hat
and went shirtless, showing off his copious tattoos, while Jennifer massaged his
shoulders during a break from the action.
It was recently announced that the former American Idol judge would be returning
to the show for the first time since leaving at the end of last season. Jennifer
will perform the Live It Up single on the grand finale of the show. However, the
star was also the subject of rumours that she was being lined up to replace
Mariah Carey as a judge in the line-up after Mariah received criticism for her
lacklustre judging style.
A representative for U.S. network Fox was forced to deny the report, saying:
'This is just another ridiculous Idol judge rumour, likely started by talks of
Jennifer performing on the finale.' Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe added: 'I
have not been included in any conversation regarding replacing Mariah with Jen
this season.'
However, the rumours were brought to the forefront again last week by Nicki
Minaj, who tweeted: 'All dem #1s but JLo phone ringin? Lol. I guess having a
personality, being a secure woman, and giving genuine critique still trumps
that.'
Meanwhile, Fort Lauderdale Police received a call on Sunday night about gunshots
near a park where J-Lo and Pitbull were filming. According to The Miami
Herald,officials investigated the report, but found no evidence of a shooting at
the Fort Lauderdale Beach Park Security officials said the star was secure in
her vehicle when the incident was reported.
