That's got to hurt! Curvy Jennifer Lopez pours herself into a very tightly laced PVC body-stocking

She's nicknamed La Guitarra due to her famed curvy figure - and Jennifer Lopez is certainly strum-thing else in her latest steamy photoshoot to promote her forthcoming single (What Is) Love? 

The 41-year-old mother of two posed instead for a shoot in a risqué skin-tight body suit that was totally slashed down the sides, revealing most of her famous body.

The eye-popping outfit is accessorised with vertigo-inducing silver peep toe stilettos and yards of silver chain necklaces.

Pout and about: Jennifer probably had quite a job getting out of the sparkly flesh-flashing skintight bodysuit too

Elsewhere, the star is looking racy in tiny red hotpants as she hangs on the telephone and elsewhere, luxuriates in the back on a limo in a Mongolian lamb coat as she flashes her thighs surrounded by white roses.

She is also seen sitting on a rock in a catsuit made entirely out of latticed metal and hugging a stone wall in a fringed dress.

Meanwhile, the On The Floor singer is set to return as a judge on American Idol next year.

Although she refused to be drawn on the topic when she appeared on the U.S. morning show Today yesterday when she announced she would be playing the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas in September with Lady Gaga and Coldplay, insiders say the paperwork has all be sorted.

Apparently, the star has already signed a deal that will see her back on the panel for the 11th season of the show.  

Also set to return are Steve Tyler and Randy Jackson.

Only a month ago, Lopez told the BBC that she wasn’t sure if she wanted to come back to the hit Fox reality competition.

Party line: The star likes to communicate either by phone or curves

She mused: 'I don't know. I haven't been forced to make a decision and I'm glad about that because honestly I'm very on the fence about it,.

'I had an amazing time doing it and I loved it, but I have a lot other things happening, and it's going to come down to me making a choice of what I want to do for the next year and we're not really at the breaking point of "You have to make a decision right now!"

'I'm just really enjoying the time of just waiting and seeing.'
