J.Lo's beauty sleep

Sep 14, 2006, 7:52 GMT

Jennifer Lopez has revealed the secret to her stunning looks - beauty sleep.

The actress-turned-singer, who is married to Latin star Marc Anthony, makes sure she gets at least 8 hours slumber a night to ensure she stays looking great.

She revealed to Top of the Pops magazine: "Sleep is my weapon. I try to get eight hours a night. I think sleep, water and a good cleanser works best."

Despite being considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, J.Lo insists she can't always look fantastic - no matter how hard she tries.

She added: "I'm only human. I can't always look my best."

Meanwhile, Lopez's former fiancée, Ben Affleck, has claimed that breaking up from her improved his career.

The actor - who starred with J.Lo in box office flops 'Jersey Girl' and 'Gigli' - says during his highly publicised relationship with his ex-love he became "cynical" about his career.

He said: "I did popcorn stuff. But I didn't realise that there are good popcorn movies and bad popcorn movies.

"Ultimately, I found myself with the horrible feeling of being trapped inside this tabloid situation where my personal life was all out there.

"I kind of made a decision to just do the kind of movies I want and that I could be proud of being in, and not work for money or work to be famous."
