Jennifer Lopez has revealed the secret to her stunning looks - beauty sleep.

The actress-turned-singer, who is married to Latin star Marc Anthony, makes sure she gets at least 8 hours slumber a night to ensure she stays looking great.

She revealed to Top of the Pops magazine: "Sleep is my weapon. I try to get eight hours a night. I think sleep, water and a good cleanser works best."

Despite being considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, J.Lo insists she can't always look fantastic - no matter how hard she tries.

She added: "I'm only human. I can't always look my best."

Meanwhile, Lopez's former fiancée, Ben Affleck, has claimed that breaking up from her improved his career.

The actor - who starred with J.Lo in box office flops 'Jersey Girl' and 'Gigli' - says during his highly publicised relationship with his ex-love he became "cynical" about his career.

He said: "I did popcorn stuff. But I didn't realise that there are good popcorn movies and bad popcorn movies.

"Ultimately, I found myself with the horrible feeling of being trapped inside this tabloid situation where my personal life was all out there.

"I kind of made a decision to just do the kind of movies I want and that I could be proud of being in, and not work for money or work to be famous."

Then why the hell does she look so tired?

I never thought she was anything special.  She certainly can’t sing worth a shit.  She looks like a deranged pilled-up clown with her caked-on makeup in these pictures.  The blush is particularly hideous.

I agree, Msnay. She looks tired and older than usual. Her skin normally looks so radiant, but it looks bad in these pics. She is without a doubt one of the most beautiful women in the world, not just Hollywood, but she is looking really tired. Maybe she needs 9 hours sleep, more water and a better cleanser…...haha!! She is still very beautiful, though.

First of all, why does she make that stupid face in the first picture? I think the real secret to her looks is a team of makeup artists, hair people and stylists. They did an amazing transformation to her. Remember what she looked like before the makeover? Hideous!

She’s obviously missed a lot of her eight hours. I’d sleep a lot too to keep from having to look at that little man she’s married to. They’re both sickening.

She’s getting older so her looks are starting to gown downwards. I hate getting old, its the absolute worst thing ever. I think that her being with mark has had an effect on her looks too, because she doesn’t dress cute anymore or do her hair and makeup the same.

Didn’t Mariah Carey say she slept 15 hours a day?
So, the more you sleep, the better you look?
Somehow, they’re not living proof for this ‘beauty secret’..

Her makeup looks like junk.  It was the old stylist team that made her so damn gorgeous.  Then she fired them when she left Affleck and married Zombie Face. 

Whoever she has now is awful. 

ugh.

Noticing some pock marks on her face in the close-up shot.  Noticed them also when she was in makeup and shot in still photos while filming her stupid ass movie she’s promoting now with skeltor man.  At that time they said it was her makeup for her role. 

She looks like shit now, makeup and wardrobe wise, and hasn’t looked good really since her banging Diddy days.

She must have a secret weapon, she brought her cadaver husband back from the dead!

Must she be dredged up again in attention? Didn’t America have enough of her during her Affleck heyday?

I think she looks great here….and yes, although her “secret” definitely is makeup artits/hair people, sleep is very important.  I have been tanorexic most of my life, yet I have always slept a lot, excercised, and do not smoke (cigarrettes).  I look a lot younger than my age.

I guess when you don’t have a job to get up everyday for, you can sleep all day. You can hang out at the spa getting your hair and makeup done…all of this and she still comes out looking MANLY baby. I notice her hair is darker…

Has her career improved? She is such demand as an actress, and nominated for best actress by all—even the Academy Award: NOT!

Whatever makes her SLEEP better at night….

J-Ho looks high in the first pic. I guess she isn’t pregnant after all. As for Ben Affleck, I think breaking up with her was the best thing that ever happened to him. He is married to the super cool Jen Garner & has a gorgeous baby girl. I hope he wins another Oscar for his latest movie

Beauty Sleep?  She needs a lot more of it!  She is looking old.

Jennifer is getting old and it’s starting to show poor thing. It happens to the best of us. You can try to fight age but it doesn’t work. Getting old is part of the process and she should just be happy that she had a great career for the most part.

And Ben, I hate to yank your hypocritical chain, but regardless of your relationship with J. Lo or not, most of you movies have been pretty bad pre and post J. Lo. Forces of Nature flopped (though I liked it because of Sandra) and that was way before J. Lo. And Paycheck, and that forgettable Christmas movie you did, was way after J.Lo. Can you explain that? Maybe you just have bad taste in movie roles, so stop trying to blame everyone but yourself for your failures.

hahahahahahahahaha this is some funny shit. she needs to make her hair brown again that black is not working

If I was a multi-millionaire I would sleep all damn day. But she looks sleepy already in those pics. And Ben, nobody cares about you. Go away!
