Jennifer Lopez lands the latest cover of People Magazine. Wow, those are horrific bangs. She’s also proclaiming she HAS NO REGRETS! Who cares?

American Idol premieres tonight, without her. She reportedly turned down a $17 million offer to return. What for? She wants to focus on other career opportunities. You must have some serious balls (and an enormous bank account) if you turn down $17 million for one season of American Idol. Was it really that bad?

In the People interview, Jennifer opens up about her boyfriend, 25-year-old Casper Smart. She claims he helped her recover from her tough divorce (I bet he did!). She says she can’t believe he sticks with her – and doesn’t go get himself a younger girlfriend. Seriously JLo?

When Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony split in 2011 after seven years of marriage and two children together, the singer says it felt like “her whole world fell apart.”

But Lopez, 43, credits her boyfriend, choreographer and dancer Casper Smart, 25, with helping her heal after divorce.

“I just got out of a big, heavy, devastating thing, and he’s helped me heal,” she says in this week’s issue of PEOPLE. “He’s been there for me.”

But the singer is well aware that the 18-year age difference between the two draws speculation.

“I ask him, ‘Why don’t you go find a young girlfriend and get out of here? What do you want with me?’ And you think, ‘How long is this gone be?’ You think, ‘Okay, in 10 years I’m going to be like this and you’re going to be like that’ and … men at that age are … I think all different things. The truth is we don’t know what’s going to happen. We’re loving this moment right now. We make each other happy.”

Even after several larger-than-life romances that played out in the public eye, Lopez regrets nothing.

“I don’t regret those things – that’s who I am,” she says. “But at least now I’m at a point where I have to recognize that these choices and things that happen are partly because of me and my decisions and I have to be more careful. So I am being more careful.”

In other Jennifer news, Access Hollywood asked how she felt about the huge success of ex-boyfriend, Ben Affleck’s new movie, ‘Argo’. She said “I’m always rooting for him. We went through a rough time at a certain point and it was like we couldn’t get a break, and now to see him be successful and getting what he deserves for what he did made me feel really good.” Well isn’t that big of her.

Jennifer Lopez graces Harper’s Bazaar’s February cover,  and in the interview, she opens up about her lifestyle, career, family, and more.

When Lopez gets her J. Lo on, it’s as if she has an inbuilt wind machine. The machine around her is massive too: Along with her family and her longtime manager, Benny Medina, she has assistants, hair and makeup, security, a trainer, tour managers, and on and on. “I like the whole idea of traveling, of looking good, and doing it well,” she says. “I make it as simple and as beautiful as I can because my life is kind of big. So I pack my luggage, or dress myself, or comb my kids’ hair, pick up their clothes—that makes our life beautiful, you know? There’s something very elegant in that.”

On her career: “I’m a singer. I’m a dancer. I’m a performer. I’m an actress. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing. It makes me a better parent, a better person.”

On the notoriously racy palm-print Versace she wore to the Grammy Awards in 2000: “I have that at home,” she says. “The other day, my housekeeper put it on a mannequin in my spa, where I get my hair and makeup done. She sent me a picture. She was like, ‘You like this dress?’ Um, yeah, but I don’t know if I like it out in the house!” Her boyfriend, Casper Smart, pipes in: “But it’s famous! It’s the most famous dress you’ve ever worn.”

In an interview with WWD Jennifer announced she’s releasing a new fragrance “Glowing”…

“Glowing, is a step beyond Glow.” Jennifer explains. “Glowing is such a clean fragrance, that’s what I’ve always been about. I like soapy, clean smells. This is a very woodsy scent. So it’s not exactly what I created 10 years ago – it’s the evolution of that. At the essence, it’s still natural, earthy, clean and real, but a little different side of that. It’s the woodsy side of it, which I think is kind of New York-y, darker and sexier.”

Glowing is a floral woody amber concocted by Lopez with Givaudan’s Calice Becker and Caroline Sabas. Top notes consist of of bergamot, mandarin and cypress; a heart of orange flower, muguet de bois and cassia flower, and a drydown of sandalwood, amber sultan, vanilla, vetiver, patchouli and cashmere musk. The eaux de parfum will launch in May and will be sold in the US at Kohl’s in three sizes: 1 oz. for $39, 1.7 oz. for $49 and 2.5 oz. for $65. The 1.7-oz and 2.5-oz. There will also be a 6.7-oz. body lotion for $27.50. The bottle will light up for 15 seconds when the atomizer is pressed, In homage to Glow. The juice has a faint lavender tint. Overseas distribution will begin in July.

Ads for the fragrance have been shot by Sølve Sundsbø with creative direction by Olivier Van Doorne. They will debut fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazines in May.

People Magazine has named Jennifer Lopez the World’s Most Beautiful Woman! The ‘American Idol’ judge opened up to the magazine about what it takes to be as beautiful as her. Not really, but kinda.

More from People:

Jennifer Lopez admits she loves glamming it up as a judge on American Idol or for her upcoming album, Love?.

But at home with husband Marc Anthony and their 3-year-old twins, Max and Emme, Lopez is a zero-makeup kind of mom. “That’s when I’m my happiest,” she says in this week’s exclusive cover story. “Just being able to touch my face and rub my eyes and put my fingers in my hair and not having to worry about messing it up. It’s so much better.”

From her skincare regimen to her grueling workouts and portion-controlled diet, Lopez says she makes a concerted effort to stay in top form. “The thing is, it’s part of my job,” says the singer, who ran a triathlon six months after she gave birth. “I don’t want anybody thinking it’s easy. It does take time and it’s hard work. HDTV wide-screen is nobody’s friend!”

Lopez, 41, also has learned valuable beauty tips over the years, and says daughter Emme is starting to prove she’s her mother’s child. “She is very girly-girl, just like me since I was very little. She loves for me to paint her nails,” Lopez says. “She lays out her clothes on the floor like I do with my stylist and she’s like, ‘This matches very good!’ ”

And what about son Max? “He wants to paint his nails too. Because for him, it’s just paint. He’s like, ‘I want the blue!’” Lopez says, laughing. “Then Marc is like, ‘Why are Max’s nails painted?!’ But he won’t sit still so it’s only like two nails.”

As for being called a “diva,” she says, “I kind of like it. We’ve kind of owned it now. But I certainly don’t like and I’ve never been a person who has what they call ‘diva behavior,’ which is something they tried to pin on me for a long time.”
