‘Shades Of Blue’ Star Jennifer Lopez Feels Flawed And Sexy At 46


Jennifer Lopez is a busy woman these days. Between her Las Vegas residency, American Idol judging duties, and her roles as executive producer and series star on Shades of Blue, it’s a wonder Jennifer has any time left for her children or boyfriend, Casper Smart. Still, Ms. Lopez found time to sit down for an interview, and in so doing, the Shades of Blue star opened up about feeling sexy in her 40s.

Shades Of Blue star Jennifer Lopez on being flawed and sexy

Feeling and looking sexy isn’t just a matter of a positive self-image for Ms. Lopez. As someone who takes to the stage and screen most hours of the day, looking and feeling her best is vital to Jennifer’s career. Lopez works hard to maintain a healthy physique, so, as she dances out on stage to perform her Vegas concerts, laden in crystals and little else, fans are as floored by her sex appeal as they are by her crooning. Even so, Jennifer cites some pretty simple things when asked what makes her feel her sexiest.

“When my hair is curly and I’m a little bit tan,” responds Lopez.

As Jennifer Lopez has matured into her 40s as the mother of two delightful daughters, 8-year-old twins Emme and Max, the American Idol judge has redefined what being sexy means for her. In her youth, Jennifer says she was a perfectionist and sex appeal meant something entirely different than it does now. Today, Lopez finds confidence and beauty in being an imperfect woman.

When asked what one thing she loves most about herself, the answer Lopez gives surprises even herself.

“That I’m flawed,” the Shades of Blue showrunner says. “I actually love that part now… I used to hate it because I’m such a perfectionist.”

As long as she’s confessing her secrets, Jennifer was asked to reveal more about those quirky, flawed personality traits. She responded by confessing that she worries. Jennifer says she worries about everything and far more often than most people assume. Lopez also admits her guilty pleasure is “Locked Out of Heaven” by Bruno Mars. She says she listens to that one song over and over.

Speaking of sex, Jennifer Lopez isn’t a fan of sexting

Ms. Lopez proved she has a great sense of humor when she let the hosts of Live With Kelly and Michael convince her to play along in a game of JLo or JNo. The impromptu game required Lopez to respond to a series of rapid fire questions about her likes and dislikes. For instance, Jennifer had to respond to phrases like “singing in the shower” and “men’s buns” with a JLo (yes) or a JNo (no).

Carbs and surprise parties each earned a JLo from Lopez, but she soon revealed she wasn’t so open or accepting in other areas. Sexting earned a big JNo from the Shades of Blue actress.

“Dangerous,” Jennifer Lopez said, as soon as sexting was brought up by the hosts. “I’m going to have to say JNo.”

That’s not to say Jennifer doesn’t ever use her cell phone for fun and games. She confesses to using it, while sneaking up on her snoozing daughters. Lopez reveals that the little game started because Emme and Max didn’t believe their mom was checking up on them while they slept.

“I started taking pictures of me with them in bed,” Lopez reveals. “In the morning, I’m just like, ‘I was there!'”

Asked to define her life at 46, Jennifer Lopez does so with a one-word hashtag.

“I would say #amazing,” Lopez explains. “It’s been amazing. It is amazing.”

The season finale of Shades of Blue, starring Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta, will air on Thursday, March 31, on NBC.
