Jennifer Lopez tops 'Most Influential' list

Jennifer Lopez has been named the most influential Hispanic entertainer in America, beating Shakira, Carlos Santana and Ricky Martin to the title.

The singer/actress has topped the entertainment section of People en Espanol's list of ‘100 Most Influential Hispanics’, which honours stars who have impacted their communities, in the February issue of the publication.

"Being an example to others is a big part of my work," J.Lo said.
"I come from a strong family, so of course I want to have one," adding, "I do have my own family: my immediate family, my husband and his children. I get to share in all of that. I am very lucky to have that."

"It excites me to think that I could be capable of changing opinions, or of making people laugh or cry. It's a beautiful facet of the work that we do."

Eva Longoria, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek were among the other entertainers on the list.
