Where does Jennifer Lopez find the time?

The pop icon has been busy judging American Idol on and off since Season 10, is preparing for a Las Vegas residency opening in 2016, and still occasionally makes a movie. The most recent evidence of unstoppable J-Lo momentum is that she will be hosting and performing at the American Music Awards.

Lopez's visibility as host and her performance will no doubt help generate press for her Vegas residency, "All I Have," which opens in January. Though this marks her first time playing host, Lopez performed at the AMAs in 2014, 2013, 2011, and 2001.

The AMA nominees will be announced on Oct. 13 by Joe Jonas and Charlie Puth, and the live show airs Nov. 22 on ABC.
