Jennifer Lopez
To celebrate the release of her latest song, Jennifer Lopez is back in her old Bronx neighborhood, proving she is still Jenny from the block.
From a performance on the stage where she learned her first moves to showing off her fiancé Ben Affleck, it was a Jennifer Lopez extravaganza on Friday morning's "Today" show.
Matt Lauer joined Ben and Jen as the diva returned to the Bronx and the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club where everything began. Her picture now hangs on the wall of fame.
Some 20 years ago, Jennifer was a member there. She was a little girl with big dreams.
Harold Maldonado runs the club. He remembers young Jenny as the talented dancer always willing to lend a hand. He says, "There was just something about Jennifer. On stage, there was that presence."
As "Extra" cruised the diva's old neighborhood, from her house to her church and even her old high school, we spotted Ben entering the Kips Bay Club. Of course, fans everywhere were hoping for a glimpse of their hometown girl.
She may be a princess in Hollywood, but for Jennifer there is no place like home.
