“I like it when they call me Big Papa“.

For, if sources prove correct then Jenny from the block might be coming to a block near you.  As headlines continue to brew over the steamy visual that was ‘Dance Again’, word has it that ‘On the Floor’ diva Jennifer Lopez will be taking those songs and more on the road this summer.  Said to also be readying her greatest hits package, the timing would be perfect as her second stint on hit reality TV show American Idol is wrapping up (as is work on her forthcoming films).

Inviting fellow early 2000s Latin hitmaker Enrique Iglesias to join (who also enjoyed a career resurgence in 2010/2011 with Pitbull), fans of the ‘I Like It’ crooner would certainly like knowing the trek is expected to cover 60 cities worldwide and include stops in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

The tour would be J.Lo’s first full road-trip and is set to kick off in June.  No dates have been announced at this time.

Would you go see J.Lo on tour?

Your thoughts?

So, in honor of her achievements, Time Magazine have named her as one 2012’s Top 100 Most Influential People.
