Anthony, Lopez glam up parade
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony lent Hollywood glamour to the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City -- and attracted such a horde of paparazzi that police officers and Guardian Angels kept them roped off from the crowds as they marched.
“The Puerto Rican parade has been a long-standing tradition in my life. It was always an event that I looked forward to every single year,” said Anthony, who led the parade Sunday with his wife, Lopez, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Salsa music blared from dozens of floats as the parade made its way up Fifth Avenue past a sea of revelers waving the Puerto Rican flag. Beauty queens wore Barbie doll dresses and foot-high tiaras.
