Summary:J.LO ON THE GO. Jennifer Lopez rode in "On the 6," but these days she is all about No. 1. The Bronx native accomplished the rare feat of topping the music and movie charts in the same week after the CD "J.Lo" joined her film "The Wedding Planner" at No. 1. "J.Lo" dislodged The Beatles' "1" from the top spot, selling more than 272,000 copies last week, according to SoundScan. Though Lopez' dancing and acting talents were known, her singing skills weren't revealed until 1999 with her debut CD "On the 6." With a weak release schedule in movies and music this week, Lopez could even repeat this rare achievement- accomplished previously only by Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Prince-next week. -Glenn Gamboa Pacifica, which owns five stations across the country, was established "to promote freedom of the press and serve as a forum for various viewpoints" and to promote cultural diversity, according to its 1946 founding statement. [Juan Gonzalez], who is also a columnist for the Daily News, charged that Pacifica had illegally changed its own bylaws, tried to quash dissent and is preparing to try to sell one of its stations. He has joined with several groups nationwide seeking to oust the national board, and called for "a total boycott of any funds for Pacifica until the board resigns." Pacifica's Washington, D.C., station, WPFW-FM, refused to play most of Gonzalez' remarks.
