Entertainers-businesswomen Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson are among the 10 "Most Powerful Moms of 2013" as ranked by Working Mother magazine.

Other media celebrities in the publication's alphabetical list of its top 50 include actresses Tina Fey, Angelina Jolie, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Melissa McCarthy and Gwyneth Paltrow; singers Mariah Carey and Gwen Stefani; newswoman Katie Couric; and model Gisele Bündchen.

The magazine says it selected women who "have exhibited the strength to overcome tremendous obstacles, the insight to innovate and inspire, and the passion and courage to go against the grain to change the lives of others for the better." And they had to have at least one child under age 18.

Beyoncé, who gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy last year, was lauded for performing at President Obama's second inauguration and at Super Bowl halftime, releasing a self-produced HBO documentary as well as a new album, and scoring a multimillion-dollar Pepsi endorsement.

Lopez, who has 5-year-old twins Max and Emme, was an "American Idol" judge this year and co-chairwoman of the charitable Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action's Global Mom Relay, which works to bring medical access to mothers in the developing world. Pregnant "Fashion Star" mentor Simpson, mother of a daughter Maxwell, 1, has a $20 million fashion line.

The 43-year-old singer feared for her life when she was whisked away to safety after a pistol was fired only 400 yards from the set of her new music video 'Live It Up'.

Jennifer was in the middle of being interviewed at Beach Park in Fort Lauderdale in Florida during the incident. Journalist Rob Marciano, who was chatting to the star when the shots were fired, wrote on Twitter: ''BREAKING: Gunshots fired on Fort Lauderdale Beach DURING my JLo interview. No Kidding. Security scrambled her away. (sic)''

He later added: ''Can hear & see ambulances converging ~400 yards down the street. Police confirming: 'shots fired. No one hit' Whew (sic).'' DeAnna Greenlaw, a spokeswoman of the Fort Lauderdale police department, confirmed: ''At around 7:30 PM, police received a report that shots were fired in a parking lot near the northern end of the park located at 800 Seabreeze Boulevard''

The brunette beauty reportedly continued to film her new music video after the incident, which features Pitbull, but is still yet to comment on the incident.

The Love Don't Cost A Thing singer seems to be turning back time each time she's spotted on a red carpet as she still possesses a youthful, wrinkle-free glow that most women around her 43 years can only dream of.

The heaven-sent bargain wrinkle serum is a sworn-by product by the The Wedding Planner actress. The B. Flawless Targeted Wrinkle Filler retails at a mere £9.99 and was stocked online on the Superdrug website, as well as in some stores around the UK.
But, when word got out that J-Lo uses this very serum for her own non-existent wrinkles, women all over the country went crazy for the miracle worker and as a result, the product sold out within two hours online.

Superdrug Director Simon Comins spoke about the product: “We can't stock this product fast enough; it literally just keeps selling out. Customers know it's the real deal and actually works so it seems they're spreading the news to their friends. It's great to offer our customers a Hollywood ingredient for just £9.99.”

Age doesn't appear to be affecting J-Lo as she looks practically the same as she did ten years ago, with just small changes to her hair here and there.

Jennifer will be joining Beyonce in headlining the summer gig Sound of Change Live at Twickenham Stadium that will see all of the proceeds benefiting up to 120 projects that aim to help women in over 70 countries.

Despite the 12 year age gap between the two of the biggest female artists in the world, their faces are yet to display it as J-Lo looks near enough exactly the same age as 31-year-old Beyonce. Bey's fast-paced, energetic performance may threaten J-Lo slightly.

Maybe then she will show her age!

There's nothing small about the Billboard Music Awards -- but it will have Lil Wayne. Weezy will join several new additions to the May 19 event, including labelmate Nicki Minaj and stars including Jennifer Lopez, Chris Brown, Ed Sheeran, Akon, Ne-Yo, David Guetta and "I Love It" breakthrough act Icona Pop.

Wayne and Minaj will pair for a performance, while Ne-Yo and Akon will crash the turntables with Guetta.

The Las Vegas show will air on ABC at 8 EDT, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena. 30 Rock alum Tracy Morgan will host, with Don Mischer producing.

The star-studded show has previously announced performances including Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Miguel, Justin Bieber, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, Selena Gomez, the Band Perry, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Kacey Musgraves and Prince, with the latter set to receive the Billboard Icon Award.

Bieber, Swift and Mars also are vying for the Milestone Award, presented by Chevrolet, which is a fan-driven honor that one voter will get to present at the show alongside Cee Lo Green.

Swift, fun. and Maroon 5 top the finalists at the 2013 awards, with each included in 11 categories. Rihanna competes in 10 categories, including top artist against Swift, Maroon 5, Bieber and One Direction, while a pair of younger artists -- Carly Rae Jepsen and 1D -- are finalists in nine and eight categories, respectively.

Billboard Music Awards finalists were based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, touring, streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, VEVO, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. These measurements were tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound.

Stay tuned for more announcements on performers, presenters and more for the May 19 airing of the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on ABC.

The former judge will return to perform on the finale next month, a source exclusively tells me. No word yet if Lopez will be belting out a tune—and shaking her iconic booty—on the first or second night of the two-part finale airing May 15 and 16. Rumors that J.Lo was in talks to perform began circulating last week after it was reported that Idol producers tried hatching a plan to bring her back as a judge. A supposed plan that, if you hadn't heard, included giving either Mariah Carey or Nicki Minaj (or both of them) the boot. "There will definitely be changes to the judging panel for next season," a source told E! News last week. "Fox thought the Nicki-Mariah contrast would make for ratings, but there is concern it is like nails on [a] chalkboard for middle-America viewers."

But a rep for Idol shot down any chatter about changes at the judges' table, saying, "This is just another ridiculous Idol judge rumor, likely started by talks of Jennifer performing on the finale."

When Chris Brown and Jennifer Lopez first got collaboration rumors swirling last month when they were photographed in the studio together, no one really knew what it would sound like when those two musical worlds collided. But, now J.Lo is dishing about what she's created with the "Fine China" singer. And, by her account, they are kicking it old school. "Yes, when we were in the studio, writing songs and just getting that whole 'Jenny from the Block' flavor back," she told "Extra" about sonically time-traveling back to 2002 for this release. "We actually worked on a bunch of ideas... and we talked about doing a duet together for his album." She added, "Every time I get a new song I'm like, 'Oh, that could be a new title for the album.'"

Earlier this month, Brown spoke to MTV News about getting the opportunity to work with the dancefloor diva, noting songwriting is a big part of his 10-year plan. "I think being able to write for great artists — J.Lo, collaborating, working on her album — and doing stuff that I never thought possible," he said, adding, "Everything that I do creatively, whether it be skating, anything that I try to put my hands onto, hopefully [I'm] excelling in it and, you know, making people see the light at the end of the tunnel."

When he sat down with Ryan Seacrest just weeks before, Brown teased that in addition to working on her follow-up to 2011's Love?, he's trying to lock her down for his 2013 release, X. "We actually are collaborating," he said. "I'm trying to get her on my album, I have a couple songs that would be incredible for her to feature on. But as for now, I'm just in the studio writing for her album and collaborating on new stuff and trying to give her some party music and fun stuff."
