JENNIFER LOPEZ - J.LO: 'FORGET MY PRIVATE LIFE'

Latina beauty JENNIFER LOPEZ wants people to forget about her private life this year (05) and concentrate on her music.

J.Lo's 2004 was shrouded in scandal - she split from former fiance BEN AFFLECK and married singer MARC ANTHONY in secret, in the space of six months.

But she is hoping 2005 will be about Jennifer Lopez the singer.

She says, "I don't want to talk about anything that is personal, what's the use? You're open with people, and then they try and make a soap opera out of your life.

"Then it's not about your work anymore, it's not about the movie you're promoting or the record you hope your fans will enjoy, it becomes about silly stuff and it's damaging. It's damaging not just to your career, but your person."
