Jennifer Lopez the Mother of Google Images? Company Exec Reveals Truth!
Jennifer Lopez's iconic dress spurred the birth of Google Images.
Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt wrote on his blog, The Tinkerer’s Apprentice, that Lopez's revealing Versace dress, which she wore at the 2000 Grammys, was instrumental in the creation of the photo search engine.
"[Google users] wanted more than just text," the 59-year-old executive noted. "This first became apparent after the 2000 Grammy Awards, where Jennifer Lopez wore a green dress that, well, caught the world's attention. At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: J.Lo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born."

On Lopez's official Instagram page a few days ago, the 45-year-old singer shared a snapshot of herself wearing the dress more than a decade ago.
Former Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell also wore the same dress at the NRJ Music Awards in France, a whole month before Lopez donned the outfit, Metro noted.
J. Lo at the MTV Movie Awards 2015
Lopez recently turned heads at the MTV Movie Awards held last Sunday, April 12, in Los Angeles, Us Weekly wrote. The mother-of-two put a sexy twist on the sophisticated tuxedo by wearing a cocktail dress inspired from it that barely covered her thighs and exposed her cleavage. She completed her look with a pair of high-heeled sandals.
Aside from gracing the red carpet with her smoking hot appearance, Lopez also won the award for Best Scared As Sh*t Performance for her role in "The Boy Next Door," Us Weekly reported.
Speaking to Kelly Osbourne before the awards show, the "Dance Again" singer said, "We produced [The Boy Next Door]. It was kind of on this small budget, and we didn't know what was going to happen with the movie, and people loved it. And here I am today, nominated for this award."
