Jennifer Lopez Announces World Tour With Enrique Iglesias (Video)
The "American Idol" judge, actress, dancer and singer is hitting the road this summer in her first major international outing. "It's daunting a little," she tells THR.
When you've accomplished all that Jennifer Lopez has in her two decades of fame -- first as a dancer, then singer, actress, designer and now, American Idol judge -- it's not likely that there are many "firsts" left to experience. But the pop superstar is about to tackle a big one: her first world tour.

"It's daunting a little bit," Lopez, who'll be joined on the road by Enrique Iglesias and Latin superstars Wisin Y Mandel, told the Hollywood Reporter after Thursday's Idol elimination show (see video below). "I've always done a little bit of this and a little bit of that but this is a big musical year for me."
Indeed, with her Q'Viva stage show set for a Las Vegas debut on May 26, and a Greatest Hits album scheduled for release in the coming months from her longtime label Epic Records (three new tracks are expected, one of which, "Dance Again," has already premiered), plus two more albums due for Island Def Jam, there should be lots of music on the horizon.
