Lopez and Anthony Trek Across Latin America on New Show...
Jennifer Lopez predicts her next project will be "the biggest thing that I've been involved with yet."
But just how can the American Idol judge top a career filled with top-selling albums, high-energy music videos, blockbuster movies, eye-popping fashion and media mogul business moves?

Snooki Hits Police Car Escort in Italy...
Looks like Snooki has already encountered drama in Italy, but it has nothing to do with booze or boys.
The Jersey Shore star was taken to a police station to fill out an accident report on Monday after she was involved in a fender bender with a patrol car in Florence.
Deena Nicole Cortese and a member of the show's production team were also in the Fiat Multipla when Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who was driving, crashed into the back of a traffic patrol car, sandwiching her vehicle between the highway wall and the police cruiser. No one was in serious condition, although a male and female police officer were taken to the emergency room of the local Careggi hospital to be treated for whiplash, bruises and cuts.
Snooki and Deena refused medial treatment, police say.
The irony? The police car Snooki collided with was an escort appointed for their personal safety.
Snooki and Deena were taken into the central police station of Florence to file routine paperwork, not because they had been arrested, police say.
The Jersey Shore crew is currently in Italy filming season four of the MTV series.

Sean Kingston Stabilized After Jet Ski Accident...
Hip-hop star Sean Kingston was operating a jet ski in Miami Beach early Sunday evening when the watercraft collided with the Palm Island Bridge. His condition has now been stabilized.
"Sean was heading west from the MacArthur Causeway and Miami Beach Islands when his personal watercraft collided with the bridge, and he and his female passenger ended up in the water," Jorge Pino, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, the lead investigative agency of the accident, says.
"A good Samaritan tended to the two of them until Miami Beach Fire Rescue arrived and saw there were injuries," added Pino.
The rescue team's assessment was to transport Sean and his female passenger to Jackson Ryder Trauma Center in Miami around 6 p.m.
His publicist, Joseph Carozza, issued the following: "Sean Kingston is now stabilized and has moved from the trauma unit to ICU. Sean's family thanks everyone for their prayers and support during this time."
Pino said investigations into the cause of the accident are still underway, but "nothing indicates there was alcohol involved."
"Nine times out of 10, recklessness on the water involving personal watercraft contributes to accidents," Pino reveals. "That is not necessarily the cause of this one, but we spend a lot of time patrolling the areas looking for violations with jet skis and motor boats."
Sean, 21, best known for his 2007 hit "Beautiful Girls," recently collaborated with Justin Bieber for "Eenie Meenie." As the 17-year-old Tweeted: "Got my friend @seankingston in my prayers tonight. a true friend and big bro. please keep him in your prayers tonight as well."
Tony Romo & Candice Crawford Wed in Dallas...
An NFL lockout couldn't stop Tony Romo from scoring the ultimate touchdown this weekend.
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback married Candice Crawford on Saturday evening at Arlington Hall in Dallas, his rep confirms.
"It was perfect! From the ceremony in beautiful white, to a vibrant after-party and great music selected by Tony himself," says a source, noting the packed dance floor. Reportedly, 600 guests attended.
Cowboy players past and present, such as Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, Dez Bryant and Miles Austi, as well as team owner Jerry Jones, were seen helping the couple celebrate their nuptials in the historic building tucked in the city's Oak Lawn neighborhood.
Candice is a pageant queen, KDAF-TV anchor and the younger sister of Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford, who was seen at the wedding.
The couple became engaged in December, when Tony, 31, proposed to Candice on her 24th birthday. They have been dating since summer 2009, shortly after Tony split from Jessica Simpson.

It's Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie...
"The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them," Brad reveals. "So it's something we've got to look at."
While a wedding may still be on the distant horizon, what Brad, 47, does makes clear is that his children, ages 2 to 9, have already turned his life around.
"Kids hold up a mirror to you," he says. "You can't make excuses. You've got to make sure they've brushed their teeth and eaten a good breakfast. You want to be present if they wake up with a bad dream."
Despite their extraordinary circumstances, he says, "Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us."
