J.Lo, Handler, and Laura Bush Honored at Glamour Women of the Year Awards
Monday evening marked the 21st Annual Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York City, with powerful, poised and intellectual females from the world fashion, politics and Hollywood stepping onto the red carpet.
Showing up in a sexy, very leggy Versace number, Jennifer Lopez told "Extra's" AJ Calloway, "It's so nice that Glamour does this every year to honor women, and it's just a beautiful thing because you realize that the women in your life are the ones who are always there. My life is filled with so many beautiful, powerful, loving, nurturing women." Lopez accepted the evening's final honor from Donatella Versace.
Late-night host Chelsea Handler joked about J.Lo's dress and the racy slit, saying, "See how she always one-ups me with these legs?" Lopez smiled and said, "I did not!" adding, "It is a little high. I am a little uncomfortable now."
Handler also took home an award, and when asked what she planned on tackling next, the newly single 36-year-old replied, "Oh God, I guess probably an Asian guy."
Former First Lady Laura Bush and daughters Barbara and Jenna were honored by Condoleezza Rice, who said on stage, "They are giving a voice to women who otherwise might not have one. They personify the belief that every woman's life has potential."
Kim Kardashian's BFF LaLa Vasquez looked stunning in a pink gown, telling Calloway she is doing her best to be a good friend when Kim needs her most. "All I can do is continue to be here for her... answer the phone when she calls... you know, be a shoulder for her to lean on, so that's what I'm trying to do."
When Calloway asked if she thought Kim and Kris would ever reconcile, LaLa replied, "You never know."
