Names and faces

— Jennifer Lopez wowed thousands of fans in Indonesia, but they didn’t see as much of her as concertgoers in other countries - the American pop star toned down both her sexy outfits and her dance moves during her show in the world’s most populous Muslim country, promoters said Saturday. Lopez’s “Dance Again World Tour” was performed in the country’s capital, Jakarta, on Friday in line with promises Lopez made to make her show more appropriate for the audience, said Chairi Ibrahim from Dyandra Entertainment, the concert promoter. “JLo was very cooperative ... she respected our culture,” Ibrahim said, adding that Lopez’s managers also asked whether she could perform her usual sexy dance moves, but were told that “making love” moves were not appropriate for Indonesia. “Yes, she dressed modestly ... she’s still sexy, attractive and tantalizing, though,” said Ira Wibowo, an Indonesian actress who was among more than 7,000 fans at the concert. Another fan, Doddy Adityawarman, was a bit disappointed with the changes. “She should appear just the way she is,” he said. “Many local artists dress even much sexy, much worse.” Lopez changed several times during her 90-minute concert along with several dancers, who also dressed modestly without revealing their chests or cleavage. Lopez will perform in Muslim-majority Malaysia today. “Thank you Jakarta for an amazing night,” the 43-year-old diva Tweeted to her 13 million followers Saturday.

Glen Campbell may be wrapping up a goodbye tour but that doesn’t mean he’s done with the stage. The Arkansas native is considering scheduling more shows next year after playing more than 120 dates in 2012. The 76-year-old singer has Alzheimer’s disease and has begun to lose his memory. He put out his final studio album, Ghost on the Canvas, in 2011 and embarked on a tour with family members and close friends serving in his band and staffing the tour. Campbell will break for the holidays.
