Article on J.Lo - Supplemental Post

Karen mentioned that Jennifer Lopez is perhaps now not as big of a star as she was when "Out of Sight" came out. The following article interestingly examines her career, noting what she could do to regain her super-celebrity status. Most of it references returning to her roots and de-glamming. Is this a way of suggesting that ethnic stars are more appealing when they're deglamorized? Is it tied to ethnicity or just stardom in general? How do the two incarnations of Jennifer Lopez: crazy, navel-bearing Grammy dress young J.Lo and balanced, loving wife/mother, reflect her own personal stardom and our expectations for ethnic stars?
