Looking all white: Jennifer Lopez slips into a flattering white dress for her appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno
After a disastrous chart reception last year, the pressure is high for Jennifer Lopez to perform with the release of her new album.
Which is perhaps why the pop diva opted for a rather attention-grabbing dress as she continued to promote her seventh LP, Love?
The 41-year-old American Idol judge slipped into a revealing, low-cut white fairy dress for her appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night.
Promotional blitz: The singer was plugging her album Love? which is not expected to chart particularly highly in the U.S. tomorrow
While her album has already bagged No.6 in the UK this weekend, the singer is yet to chart on the American Billboard 200 album chart, which is revealed on Tuesday.
And according to early indications, the singer is only expected to shift 60,000 copies this week in the U.S. - a lacklustre number for the American market.
If she got closer to the 250,000 mark she could well secure herself a No.1 - but her current sales are nothing to sing about.
Brave face: The American Idol judge chats with host Leno
Her album Love? already has a troubled history.
It was originally due for release in January 2010. But when her lead single Louboutins flopped, Lopez and Sony Music parted ways.
J-Lo later signed with Def Jam, which saw Love resurrected.
The new lead hit, On The Floor, was received well, having shifted around 1.6m downloads.
It secured the No.1 spot in the British charts and No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Blast from the past: J-Lo squealed with embarrassment as she was forced to swatch herself in her first ever dancing job in 1991
During the interview with Leno, J-Lo was left red faced as she was forced to swatch herself in footage of her first ever dancing job.
The singer buried her face in her hands and screamed as Jay Leno played footage of her as a back-up dancer to New Kids on the Block.
The footage was from the American Music Awards in 1991 and featured Lopez dancing enthusiastically behind the band.

Jennifer Lopez brought some serious filth with her new music video, I'm into you.
Shot under the scorching sun in South America, her new short flick have involved a lot of crazy costume changes and glamorous make-overs.
The 40-ish Lopez' rubs the sand and his partner's Thor-like muscles while working out her sexy latina sh*t - as expected.
I love the part where she did her ethnic-what-it-ness a la Mardi Gras with the interjection of "Dance With Your Papi" track- which served more like of the song's bridge because there aint one.
Thanks because Lil Wayne rap-ped - had if not, the song would have fallen flat. (btw, where the hell is Lil Wayne?)
The orgasmic suspense for the announcement of the three wild cards who will complete American Idol's Top 13 slot was disturbed when the Latina Heat's video was shown near the end of the show.

The TAJ-Stansberry-directed-clip, which stole almost three minutes from AI fans, was
purposely shown for a little "breather". Whoever got the boner or an asphyxia from watching Mrs. Anthony's new MTV - that, i do not know.
COMEBACK.
The 41-year-old singer-and-actress' exclusive-club-themed video has shown lots of dancing, slow motion alluring stares, glossy magazine glamor, sexy poses, and struts that only she can deliver. There have been reports that the new idol judge raked in millions with all the product placement thrown in her comeback MTV. BMW, Swarovski Crystals, and Crown Royal to name a few.
The Pitbull-collaborated-single "On the Floor" from her 7th studio Album "Love?" will hit record bars on April 19th. The single debuted at No. 9 in the Billboard Chart.

Jennifer Lopez Joins the Fight Against Pertussis in New PSAs
Singer, actress and mother teams up with the March of Dimes and sanofi pasteur to launch national whooping cough education campaign
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. and SWIFTWATER, Pa., April 22, 2009 While most parents can't wait to hear their baby's first babbles and coos, there's a first sound that actress, singer and mother Jennifer Lopez is betting no parents ever want to hear - the sound of their baby with pertussis, more commonly known as whooping cough. Ms. Lopez has joined the March of Dimes and sanofi pasteur, the vaccines division of the sanofi-aventis Group, to create a national public awareness campaign called "Sounds of Pertussis."

"Her latest role? Actress, singer, and mother Jennifer Lopez helps launch a new public service announcement (PSA) to raise awareness about how adults can help prevent contracting and spreading pertussis, also known as whooping cough, to babies. The PSA and more information about the campaign can be found at www.SoundsofPertussis.com."
The new initiative focuses on educating new parents and their families about pertussis, a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease for infants. The campaign's centerpiece is a series of television and radio public service announcements (PSAs) featuring Ms. Lopez that are available in both English and Spanish. The PSAs, scheduled to begin airing nationally this month, encourage new and expectant parents to help protect their babies by making sure that anyone who is, or will be, in close contact with a young infant has been vaccinated against pertussis.
"When I learned that many babies who get pertussis catch it from their parents, and how easy it is for adults to get vaccinated, I was shocked," said Ms. Lopez. "New and expectant parents have so many things to worry about. Getting pertussis themselves, or possibly spreading the disease to their own children, shouldn't be one of them. I felt it was urgent to let parents know how important it is that they get vaccinated against pertussis to protect themselves and to help keep their babies safe from this dangerous disease," she added.
Pertussis Makes a Comeback
Between 2000-2003 and 2004-2007, there was a 100 percent increase in reported cases of pertussis. Estimates indicate that there may be as many as 800,000 to 3.3 million total adult and adolescent cases of pertussis in any given year.
Pertussis is highly contagious and is caused by bacteria which are spread through airborne droplets from the nose and throat. So a cough, sneeze or even talking very close could lead to exposure. In adults, symptoms are usually milder than those found in infants, and pertussis is often mistaken for the common cold or bronchitis. In infants and some adults, pertussis causes severe coughing characterized by the unforgettable "whoop" sound made when gasping for breath after a coughing fit. It creates a sticky, thick mucous that makes it difficult to eat, drink and breathe. The coughing fits can be so violent that infants cannot catch their breath and may turn blue. Pertussis can also lead to other serious complications such as pneumonia, which can require hospitalization. In recent years, 90 percent of pertussis deaths have occurred in infants younger than four months of age.
Because Hispanic babies may be at a higher risk for contracting pertussis, and the risk of dying from pertussis may be higher in Hispanic infants than in non-Hispanic infants, the program is being implemented as a bilingual educational initiative.
"We're very pleased to be working with Ms. Lopez and sanofi pasteur on a campaign that continues the March of Dimes' tradition of championing the health of all babies," said Alan R. Fleischman, M.D., senior vice president and medical director for the March of Dimes. "Pertussis is still prevalent in the U.S. despite routine childhood immunization. Educating parents about the importance of vaccinating themselves and their families to reduce their risk of contracting pertussis and possibly spreading this dangerous disease to infants is an important step in trying to reverse this trend."
Protecting Against Pertussis
While most infants are given routine diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) immunizations, they do not begin the primary series until they are two months of age and may not be fully protected until they have completed their primary series of vaccinations with three or four doses. During this time, they are vulnerable to pertussis. Accordingly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all adults and adolescents 11-64 years of age, especially those who have close contact with an infant, be immunized with a tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster. The CDC also recommends that new mothers get the Tdap vaccination in the immediate postpartum period to protect themselves from pertussis and reduce the risk for exposing their infants to the disease.
Adults who received vaccinations when they were children may mistakenly believe that they are still protected against pertussis, but immunity wears off over 5 to 10 years, leaving them vulnerable to contracting and spreading the disease.
"Despite the CDC recommendations, a 2007 survey showed that fewer than two percent of adults 18 through 64 years of age had ever received a Tdap vaccination," said Dr. Fleischman. "It is our goal with this campaign to ensure that all new parents are aware of pertussis and that they speak with their health-care providers about getting vaccinated."
Sounds of Pertussis
The "Sounds of Pertussis" campaign includes specific elements designed to reach the Hispanic population, which is the fastest growing and largest minority in the U.S. All of the PSAs have been created in both English and Spanish, and the campaign also includes a four-part radio novela that will air on Spanish-language radio stations throughout the country.
In addition to educational brochures, the campaign includes components to directly engage parents in helping to educate their friends and families about pertussis prevention for themselves and the babies in their lives. These components include a recorded telephone message and e-mails featuring Jennifer Lopez available for sharing on the campaign Web site. The video PSA also will also be available online for downloading and sharing.
Parents and other caregivers can learn more about pertussis, hear the sound of pertussis, send "Sounds of Pertussis" e-mails to friends and family and view the PSAs by visiting www.SoundsofPertussis.com.
March for Babies®
As part of the "Sounds of Pertussis" campaign, Ms. Lopez is acting as the Honorary Chairperson of the March of Dimes March for Babies 2009 walks, and sanofi pasteur is a national sponsor of the March. The March for Babies takes place the weekend of April 25-26 in more than 900 communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Money raised by March for Babies supports community programs that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies; fund research to help babies begin healthy lives; and provide support to families of babies in newborn intensive care.
"Sounds of Pertussis" booths will be stationed at walks in 25 major cities to help raise awareness of pertussis disease and prevention. These booths will offer information and giveaways to walk participants, as well as continuously show the new PSA. Information about the walks can be found at www.marchforbabies.org.
