A new year, a fresh start, right?

At least that's what it looks like for newly solo Jennifer Lopez. The American Idol judge turned 42 this weekend and celebrated in serious style, with friends and family and, reportedly, some very famous faces:

The singer was reportedly joined by none other than Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at their friend Loren Ridinger's private mansion in Miami. No word on what the celebs did to celebrate, but Market America head honcho Loren lent us a hint:

"Loved watching old @JLo videos all day in honor of my girlfriends bday!! Wow baby, you look even more beautiful every year! #GORGEOUS," she tweeted.

"Thank you all of my Lovers for the birthday wishes! I'm having an amazing day surrounded by family and friends," Lopez tweeted yesterday.

But the American Idol judge got the party started earlier than her actual b-day, natch.

The birthday girl grabbed a late night bite at The Forge Restaurant alongside her manager Benny Medina, her stylist and six of her closest gal pals.

The outing was her first public appearance since announcing her divorce from former husband Marc Anthony.

Despite her split, she appeared in bright spirits all evening and even rang in her 42nd with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday." Her group enjoyed some champagne and ate lobster peanut butter & jelly until 1 a.m. 

And if that wasn't enough, she also flaunted her famous figure in a Pucci bikini while lounging on a private yacht rented by her manager on Sunday. 

The hot mama was snapped holding one of her adorable tots and relaxing on the high seas with her mom, sister, cousins and members of her glam squad (because divas never take a day off from looking camera ready).

Feliz cumpleaños, mami!
