9 Things J.Lo Did Before Anyone Else

First To Be “Fly”

We all know J.Lo is fly — but the gorgeous Puerto Rican superstar officially became a fly girl in 1991 when she joined the cast of the FOX sketch comedy series In Living Color as a dancer. Rosie Perez was already working as a choreographer on the show, but it was Lopez who was the show’s first Latina fly girl. 

First Celeb to ‘Glow’

Jennifer Lopez may not have been the first celebrity to ever release a fragrance, but she was the first to make it a must for Hollywood starlets. After the monster success of her first fragrance, Glow, it seemed like every pretty young thing followed suit. So it’s not surprising that J.Lo has more fragrances (17) than any other Hollywood star.

First To Be #1 in Movies and Music

In 2001, J.Lo made history by becoming the first actress and singer to have the #1 movie (The Wedding Planner) and a #1 album (J.Lo) in the same week!

First to Launch A Singing Competition in Latin America

It isn’t enough for Lopez to be a judge on the #1 show on television, American Idol. The superstar diva, who never stops working, is joining forces with her husband, Marc Anthony and Idol creator, Simon Fuller to launch a new show called Q’Viva: The Chosen. “This is a show for the 21st century with an unprecedented global and local story,” Lopez said of the show, which will reportedly celebrate Latin music, artistry and dance. “The Latin culture is a tapestry that is rich in passion, tradition and artistry. We are going to places where all of this talent lives and wouldn’t have otherwise been discovered. This journey for me and Marc is going be exciting and groundbreaking,” she adds. Just how big will the show be? Well, let’s just say that it will premiere in 21 Latin American countries as well as the United States. 

The First Latina Millionaire

Jennifer Lopez became the first Latina to get paid 1 million dollars for a movie role when she starred as Selena Quintanilla in Selena (1997). 

First Latina to Top the Charts with a Remix

When Jennifer Lopez released her second, self-titled album, J.Lo on January 23td, 2001, and saw that two of the singles off the album, (“I’m Real” and “Ain’t It Funny”) were huge hits, Lopez asked her label to remix both songs. Both remixes reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks. A year later, Lopez released an entire remixed album called J to tha L-O!: The Remixes that debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and became the first remix album in history to debut at the top of the charts.

First To Make the Booty Famous

J.Lo made the booty famous — and not the other way around. And, she did it before anyone else — way before Kim Kardashian. As Lopez recently said, “There’s only one Coca-Cola, baby!”

First to Rule HSN

Jennifer Lopez appeared live on the Home Shopping Network (HSN) and in a matter of six hours, the singer/actress/entrepreneur extraordinaire sold tens of thousands of bottles of her new fragrance, Love & Light — making her the highest selling Latina celeb in HSN history!
