Jenny, did you learn nothing from Hilary Swank?! Fresh from celebrations from her induction into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Jennifer Lopez flew to a resort town in Turkmenistan to headline leader Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov’s 56th birthday party, according to reports.

J.Lo reportedly spent her time there "[dancing] with half-naked backing dancers" and later wearing traditional Turkmen clothes for a rendition of "Happy Birthday, Mr. President."
