7. Jennifer Lopez

J. Lo’s mom didn’t approve of the superstar’s early pining towards to a career in the entertainment industry. Jenny from the block wanted to be a dancer, her mom wanted her to go to college. Their not seeing eye to eye lead her to a stint of couch surfing when she left the house at the age of 18. Just a few months later, she booked a dance gig in Europe, then landed the job as a Fly Girl on In Living Color. The rest, as they say, is history.
