A year after welcoming twins Max and Emme, Jennifer Lopez is back at work, shooting the romantic comedy The Back-Up.
"The few days before I got really nervous," she tells Entertainment Tonight. "I was like, 'What if I forgot how to act?!"
How does she balance work and motherhood?
"I bring the babies to work with me. I love it," she says. "Honestly, one of the best days of my life was the first day back working on this film -- I wanted to do this film really badly -- and bringing my babies with me that morning. I was like, 'Oh my God, they're with me, I'm making a movie, they're here!' It's great having kids on set. It's the best."

As for getting back in shape?
"It did take a lot of work," Lopez, 39, admits. "I thought it was gonna drop off easily because I had been in shape my whole life, but it wasn't. I gained about 50 pounds with my twins, and the first 30 dropped off like that, and I was like, 'Ha, this is gonna be so easy.' That last 20 -- that took a while."

Sadly, in this looks obsessed industry, yes. That is, if you want to stay relevant and have a competitive chance at movie roles, etc. No fatties need apply.

Yes, when they can't act or sing.

Gawd, I HATE her!!

**snakebread** · June 5th, 2009, 07:34 PM

I'm sure her new face took a lot of "work," too.

At least she's not saying it all fell off by itself and that she keeps in shape by chasing the kids around (isn't that Kelly Ripa's claim)?

Bloody hell! I seriously wouldn't have recognised her from that pic. She's had a TON of work on her face. The mouth is totally different and not in a good way. She looks like a cheap Italian porno actress.
