It's a very short article.
Nine girls and a guy: Gathering on the streets of New York's Meatpacking District, nine reigning female musicians were delighted to pose for Annie Leibovitz, not least because of talent No. 10, the mojo-rific Barry White, perhaps the only man who could single-handedly balance the lineup.
She sings. She dances. She acts. She's gorgeous. She's got a clothing line. She's got a restaurant. She's got her own brand of perfume. Still, when you meet her, it's impossible not to like the very straightforward, very delightful Jennifer Lopez. And if her behaviour at our cover shoot is any indication, she gets an unfair rep for all that diva stuff. There were no three-page lists of requirements, no special candle or flower demands. She had her hair and makeup done in a cubicle that was the same size as everybody else's. Even though she had just finished a long day of filming for Maid in Manhattan with Ralph Fiennes, Lopez was a dream. She hung out in the heat on the funky street in New York's Meatpacking District where we shot the cover, signed autographs for policemen, waited for Gwen Stefani, and seemed oblivious to the paparazzi who follow her everywhere. Oh, and she had also spent some "spare" time earlier that week in recording studios - in two different states - working on her fourth album, expected out this fall. From an early listen, her voice sounds stronger than it did on her three previous multi-platinum efforts. "In the past I was always encouraged to go for the hits," she says. "And I can always hear a hit. But now the songs are more in my range. This time I'm having more of a say."
*It's so short because there were 9 other people to cover as well*
