Jennifer Lopez is the highest paid Hispanic woman in film history, according to Allure magazine.
The January issue reports that Lopez, 30, achieved that status by receiving $9 million for her role in the romantic comedy "The Wedding Planner." She plays a busy bridal consultant in the film, which co-stars Matthew McConaughey and is due in theaters Jan. 26.
Lopez said the loss of privacy and anonymity that accompanies fame has been difficult.
'"Cause you want it, but then when it happens, it's like, a weird feeling," she said. "I started asking different celebrities who had been in the business a long time, 'What do you do? Is this normal, this feeling that I have? Is this going to be OK? Am I going crazy?"'
Lopez took advice from other celebrities to meditate. She also unwinds by exercising and reading books about spirituality.
