Hollywood superstar Jennifer Lopez will join the star-studded cast of celebrities presenting Oscar statuettes at Sunday's Academy Awards show, organizers said

earlier this week.

The 36-year-old singer and actress whose private life keeps her in the headlines when her movies or recordings fail to, was last seen on the big screen in last year's comedy Monster-in-Law opposite screen legend Jane Fonda.

She recently finished shooting a new thriller called Bordertown, about the string of murders of young women in the Mexican city of Juarez, and will be seen next in El Cantante, the story of salsa king Hector Lavoe.

Among those already signed to hand out awards is this year's big Oscar hopeful George Clooney.

Also presenting are best actress Oscar favorite Reese Witherspoon, nominated for the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, Australian Nicole Kidman, who won best actress in 2003 for The Hours and South African Charlize Theron, who snatched the same award in 2004 for Monster.
