Now-a-days just one party just doesn’t do the trick. The first birthday bash at the Hotel Griffou in the Greenwich Village on Friday night was clearly not enough. J-Lo’s husband, Marc Anthony yet again surprised her with an ‘An Evening For Lola’ nick-named surprise birthday bash at the Edison Ballroom, New York City the next day.
Hubby Marc took care of all the finer details for her 40th birthday revelry that got going with the couple zooming into the venue in a grey Bentley. After getting off the car, J-Lo was overwhelmed by emotions as she took notice of the first clue of the following festivities –a gold embellished marquee that read Lola, a nickname that Anthony fondly calls his wife with.
Jennifer looked ravishing in a Grecian styled gown, as she signed autographs for her crazed fans behind barricades. Amongst those who were there to hail in the celebration were producer LA Reid along with wife, Carlos Beltran with wife Jessica, DJ Cassidy, her co-star of Back-Up Plan, Alex O’Loughlin, singer Ricky Martin, Liza Minnelli, longtime buddies Leah Remini and Benny Medina, Gayle King and her mother and sister.
Other guests included Alicia Keys, Michelle Bell, Lance Bass, Swizz Beats, Peter Wade. There were performances by Kay Seven and Freestyle Legends amongst others.
