JLo turns 38 today!
Here she is with hubby Skeletor at the premiere of “El Cantante” in Puerto Rico, 7/23.

Hollywood husband-and-wife Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony (aka Skeletor) almost quit their new movie El Cantante, fearing abusive relationship scenes would damage their marriage.
Anthony plays Hector Lavoe, one of the most famous Spanish-language singers of the 1970s, in the movie - and Lopez plays his wife Puchi. The film follows Lavoe’s heroin addiction, his violent relationship with Puchi and his death from an AIDS-related illness.
Lopez says of the film, “All my actor friends warned us, saying, ‘Those abusive husband-and-wife scenes are gonna be difficult.’ “It almost scared me into quitting. With those scenes, we’d end up exhausted. But driving home, we’d just look at each other and say, ‘We are so normal.’”

Jennifer Lopez might not be a darling of animal-rights activists, but she’s never been the target of death threats. Gatecrasher reports that the singer-actress has been receiving letter that threaten “to kill her in public, just like the slaughtered animals whose fur she wears.” And, says a source, hubby Marc Anthony has hired two off-duty police officers to keep an eye on Lopez when she’s out in public, just in case. Lopez’ rep says the story’s untrue, and a spokesman for PETA (which is not, presumably, the source of the threats) says, “All violence is wrong.”
