...gift walked in on a red carpet, stripped off her floor-length black coat to reveal silver hip huggers and a matching tube top and sang, "I think I did it again/I made you believe..." And for a few wondrous moments, Rachel and her 10 girlfriends did believe that Britney Spears was in the house, lip-synching in front of the marble fireplace and rocking chair in Rachel's North Salem, N.Y., living room. On this recent Saturday, Shannon Connor, 21, an impersonator in hot demand at birthday parties throughout the New York City area, chose one of her more...

In the midst of tube-sock donning Britney Spears, buckets of beer, 200 lbs. muscle machines and salsa, it is vital to have 60 seconds where one can be reminded of what truly matters in life...
Lopez's songs portray her as an optimist (someone who wouldn't, one might surmise, let a boyfriend's legal troubles drag her down). She's only a fair vocalist, but, hey, it isn't as if Britney is Aretha. With sheer will, sheer clothing and perhaps some method acting, Lopez has made herself a true pop star...
