Sound Bites: Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Marilyn Manson

May 18 -- Lopez Named Sexiest Woman for Second Time

Jennifer Lopez was named the world's sexiest woman for the second year in a row by British men's magazine FHM. She is the first person to win the title twice in the magazine's seven-year history. Earlier this year, Lopez became the first woman to simultaneously top both the pop charts (with dance-pop album J.Lo) and the movie box-office charts (with romantic comedy The Wedding Planner). Not being British, the star wasn't eligible for another award given out yesterday — Britain's worst-dressed prize, which went to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

Eminem Teams With Marilyn Manson

Shock-rapper Eminem has teamed with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson to record a hard rock version of "The Way I Am," which originally appeared on the rapper's The Marshall Mathers LP. The track will most likely appear on a European reissue of the album.

Meanwhile, the governor and several legislators from Colorado have spoken out in support of Citizens for Peace and Respect, a Christian group that is asking Manson to skip the June 21 Denver stop on the Ozzfest. In a statement, Manson offered to "balance" his songs with readings from the Bible so fans could "examine the virtues of wonderful 'Christian' stories of disease, murder, adultery, suicide, and child sacrifice." The rocker has not performed in the area since the April 1999 shootings at Columbine High School. "We don't say Manson caused Columbine, but we believe he promotes the attitudes and actions of the Columbine killers," the citizens' group's leader told The Associated Press. In the aftermath of the shooting, several students said killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were influenced by the outspoken rocker.
