HOLLYWOOD -- Jennifer Lopez is gearing up for one busy month.

The pop diva has a movie coming out, a new album and a high-profile trial to contend with before the end of January.

Her boyfriend, Sean "Puffy" Combs will have his first trial hearing on Jan. 17 for gun possession in New York State Supreme Court, and Lopez will be called as a witness.

"As far as the trial is concerned, I just take it day by day," she told the Sun yesterday. "I can't sit in the house and worry. It's a part of my life, but it isn't my life."

Lopez was far more excited about the prospect of seeing the first cut of her new album, J.Lo, which arrives in stores on Jan. 23.

"I got to see the first copy of it on Saturday with the artwork. It's so exciting. I feel this is going to be even bigger and better than On the 6."

Lopez's 1999 debut album sold more than 6 million copies.

On Jan. 26, Lopez stars opposite Matthew McConaughey in the romantic comedy The Wedding Planner.

"It's my first romantic comedy. I had to beg the studio to let me do it.

"I was determined to do The Wedding Planner to show the industry that I'm capable of doing any role at any time," she said.

"In the past, lots of doors have been closed to me because my last name is Lopez, but I am determined to prove I can go beyond the ethnic."
