Though her career went off the rails several years back following the poor reception of her 2009 single 'Louboutins,' Jennifer Lopez is undeniably back on track with a new hit on the charts and a judging role on 'American Idol.'

Continuing her hot streak, the multi-talented entertainer will be gracing the cover of People Magazine's 22nd annual "World's Most Beautiful" issue this week, earning the title of the "Most Beautiful Woman" of 2011.

"It's so crazy. Rarely am I left speechless, but I feel honored. I feel not worthy, you know? I feel happy and proud. Proud that I'm not 25!" the 41-year-old singer-actress-judge revealed. "I feel better, I feel smarter. In my 20s, I just wasn't there in my mind and my soul and my spirit. It's just great to be in the position I'm in now and be able to share that with the world."

J.Lo credited her recent achievements to both her age and her heart. "I think it's because I have a lot of love in my life," she continued. "I feel lucky to be an attractive person, but I've always felt that real beauty always comes from your heart."

Also included on People's "World's Most Beautiful" list are fellow singers Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson, actresses Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock and actors George Clooney, Patrick Dempsey, as well as "Sexiest Man Alive" Ryan Reynolds.

J.Lo's long-delayed seventh album 'Love?' will be released later this spring.
