Jennifer Lopez Kills off her diva alter-ego J.Lo

Jennifer told Britain's The Guardian newspaper: "I'm not J.Lo any more. That's all gone with all the ridiculous stories about tantrums and Egyptian sheets. That's all my past.

"I'm Jennifer Lopez. I think, as a woman, I've finally grown more sure of who I am. It does seem ironic that it has taken me more than a decade to basically get back to who I am.

"I am incredibly proud of my culture and I think I am a woman who is totally defined by my culture. My temperament, my body shape, the way I am is all very much Puerto Rican."

The 37-year-old singer-and-actress says that while recording her new album - 'Como Ama Una Mujer (How a Woman Loves)' - she was advised by her husband of two years, Marc Anthony, to concentrate on pouring out her emotions.

She said: "This is the album I'm proudest of. In fact, this is the only album I've ever recorded that I listen to in my car."

Jennifer Lopez showing just how much she has changed, is doing her civic duty reports ABC news. Lopez has reported to jury duty at the Beverly Hills Courthouse.

An assistant was at her side in the jury holding room.

Both Lopez and the assistant were making cell phone calls and texting.

An Eyewitness News camera captured a quick glimpse of Lopez as her car sped off during a break.

In other news, the NY Daily News, reports that Ritmo Latino, the nation's top Latin music chain, banned all Jennifer Lopez music from its stores stating that she’s a sell-out.

Ritmo’s prez David Massry says that she "has refused personally to promote her new CD in any of our stores. We've supported her from the beginning. Now we're told by her record company she will only visit Anglo retail outlets.”

"This is a Spanish-language CD, and if she wants to discriminate against the Latin community, then we will not sell her product," Massry told NYDN.
