She visited the South American country two weeks ago to check out the Carnival craziness, and now a batch of hot shots of Jennifer Lopez boating in Rio de Janeiro have just been released.

She’s a never-ending source of awesomeness and beauty, and Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of V Magazine's Spring 2012 issue.

She has always been a bit of a night owl, and last evening (February 26) Jennifer Lopez was in full-on party mode.

Celebs were all over the Oscar afterparty scene last night in Hollywood.  Pics of the colorul frocks on The Williams Sisters, Paula Patton & Robin Thicke, Zoe Saldana, Sanaa Lathan and plenty more inside...

Celebs party hopped among the annual Vanity Fair screening party at Sunset Towers Hotel, the TWC party at the Skybar at the Mondrian Hotel, the Governor's Ball at Hollywood & Highland Center, and Elton John's AIDS Foundation party at The City of West Hollywood Park.

Paula Patton and hubby Robin Thicke finally got their schedules aligned so they could spend a cutesy night together at Vanity Fair's party.

Paula rocked a black feather skirted frock with an embroidered white bust.  Can't decide if I'm loving it--looks a bit young.  But her legs are looking killer these days.

Pretty lady Octavia Spencer and Meryl Streep (in Lanvin) partied it up in celebration of their Oscar wins at the Governor's Ball--celebs' first party stop.

And in her beaded Tadashi Shoji gown, she took her Oscar statue over to the Vanity Fair afterparty.

Zoe Saldana went all-black in a Marios Schwab Fall 2012 gown.

Very interesting look.

Friends Sanaa Lathan and Rosario Dawson had some fun at the Vanity Fair afterparty.  Loving Sanaa's goddess-in-white look for the night.

Serena and Venus Williams got colorful in their Vanity Fair party gowns.  Both designs were done by L.A. based designer Christiane King.  Fabulous color and mermaid fit for Serena with a scalloped back.  And Venus' purple and fuchsia gown with a one-shoulder strap detail complete with a thigh-high split looked great as well.

Diddy kept it suave on the carpet as well.

Adepero Oduye, the star of Pariah, hit the VF party.

Pharrell celebrated his scoring of the Oscars at the Governor's Ball.

A sexy Anika Noni Rose posed it up with Broadway actress Idina Menzel (in a look I'm hating).

Oh hey Russ.

Boyz II Men kicked it at the Elton John party.

Regina King went all lace and looked gorgeous.

Taye Diggs and wife Idina posed it up.

Terry Crews hit the Elton John party with his stunning wife Rebecca.

Smokey Robinson hit the VF party with his gold and blue accented wife Frances.

Chris Rock hit the VF party with good friend David Spade.

Jennifer Lopez switched into another plunging neckline gown for the VF party:

Gorgeous.

And director George Lucas hit the VF party with longtime partner Mellody Hobson.

Jennifer Lopez hit tonight's 84th Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet in a sexy Zuhair Murad sheer and sparkling gown.  Decide if we love it inside...

"American Idol" judge Ms. Lopez is at tonight's Awards to present, alongside Cameron Diaz, the Awards for Best Costume & Best Hair/Makeup.  And she hit the carpet in her own best "costume" and hair & makeup:

As usual, she brought the sexy factor in a deep V-neck sheer/white sparkle alternating paneled open back Zuhair Murad gown.  She paired her look with subtle Lorraine Schwartz jewels.  And her fave chic updo. So...

DO WE LOVE IT?!
