Shining star: Jennifer Lopez turned heads during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday
‘You do it because there’s people who want to see you, but more importantly for the money,’ Kimmel deadpanned.
Lopez &#8211; looking stunning in a figure-hugging silver jumpsuit &#8211; laughed along, saying: ‘I mean who’s going to pay for these jumpsuits?’
When the late night host stressed that ‘you didn’t get that at Marshalls,’ J Lo sounded serious as she insisted: ‘Although I do shop at Marshalls. Yes, why not?’
When Jimmy asked if ‘people pass out in the aisles’ when the see her there, she claimed to make too good a job at being low-key, saying: ‘You wouldn’t recognize me I don’t think.’

&#8216;You wouldn&#8217;t recognize me&#8217;: Jennifer insisted that fans don&#8217;t realize it&#8217;s her when she shops at Marshalls
But she insisted: ‘I do, I like shopping, I like the bargain places, yeah. I like mixing things up.’
Jimmy then asked her if that’s where she buys Christmas gifts &#8211; teasing her that she saves money on items for other people &#8211; leading to her handing him a gift with a peach-coloured item of clothing with the ‘J Lo’ clearly altered to try to look like JK for Jimmy Kimmel.
‘It was last minute,’ she said. ‘But it was monogrammed. I was very last minute but my grandmother told me to never come empty handed.’
Jimmy then reached to hand her a gift in return &#8211; a mug reading: World’s Greatest Dad.

Prepare to be wowed: Jennifer hinted that she will have some special guests &#8211; but didn&#8217;t reveal who they will be
‘I’m glad someone finally acknowledged that,’ she joked.
As well as highlighting her busy schedule &#8211; saying she is ‘working harder than Ryan Seacrest now’ &#8211; Jimmy also made light of Jennifer’s almost perfect appearance.
‘Do you even bother to make a New Year’s Resolution, or do you just look in the mirror and go, “Yeah, I’m good?”’
Of her new cop show Shades Of Blue, Jimmy told his guest: &#8216;Suffice to say you look really good on it.’

How does she do it?: While JLo flashed her pert derriere in the ensemble, it was a look that would have been unflattering on most
‘I do? That was my down look!’ J Lo laughed.
‘There would be no crime if the police looked like you!’ Jimmy joked, quickly realizing that people may actually WANT to get arrested by super hot cops.
‘Or maybe there would be more crime if the police looked like you,’ he added.
Of the show, Jennifer said: ‘It’s very gritty. It’s different for me. It’s a good drama, it’s one of those things that you get hooked on it. You just never know what’s going to happen.’

The star also said it was ‘a real privilege to be able to perform in Vegas,’ adding: ‘I think about people like Frank Sinatra and all those greats.
‘I’m old fashioned like that, I’m all about that old Hollywood glamor.’
She sounded genuinely excited to play more intimate shows where she could engage with her audience &#8211; and admit to already having surprise guests lined up already.
‘We have people coming,’ she said, not wanting to give away names. ’It’s super exciting.

That went well!: Jennifer looked cheerful as she stepped out of the Hollywood studio following her chat
‘That&#8217;s my goal, for every night to be different, to be spontaneous.’
She said she was taking her seven-year-old twins, Emme and Max, to Vegas with her &#8211; but it is her mother Guadalupe who is most excited, saying she will ‘live in the casinos.’
Recalling how her mom once won an incredible $2.4 million on slot machines, she insisted: ‘She’s spent that much and more since then, she’s crazy.

Great to see you: The bombshell gave a cheerful wave to her admirers as she strutted along in gold heels
‘She could tell you about every single machine, which ones to play, what time to play them… when you watch her it’s like watching a genius at slot machines.
‘It’s like Rain Man &#8211; it’s the craziest thing!’
But the passion has not rubbed off, with Jennifer insisting: ‘I work too hard &#8211; putting one quarter in there hurts me. I’m not a gambler that way.’
