As we discussed Jennifer Lopez?s 21-year-old Movieline interview, a few commenters noted that nothing really sticks to J.Lo, that she?s basically the Teflon Don of Hollywood/music/gossip. I?d never thought about that before but it?s so true. Even if she has a bad news cycle (like that Movieline interview cropping up again, or Bennifer 1.0), she always seems to survive and thrive. It?s the weirdest thing. Anyway, Jennifer is about to have the best six months of her life. She?s a shoo-in (right now) for Best Supporting Actress for Hustlers, and the NFL has just named her the 2020 Super Bowl Half-time act. This has been rumored for weeks, and the NFL and Pepsi announced it yesterday. Shakira will be there too!
Jennifer Lopez and Shakiras hips wont be lying in Miami come February the superstars are co-headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The singers made a cryptic announcement Thursday on social media posting images of each other in very similar outfits but without revealing their faces. They captioned their posts, Get ready and This is happening. Pepsi then posted the big reveal image showing both womens faces. BTW makes sense the NFL would draft co-headliners for the Miami event, because deuces are wild the Super Bowl date is 02/02/20.
When the NFL announced its new partnership with Jay-Z, it said his company, Roc Nation, would be helping secure talent for the Super Bowl Halftime Shows. Were told Roc Nation was heavily involved in closing this deal and we also hear there will be a few more surprise acts joining J Lo and Shakira. Shakira last released music in 2017 the album, El Dorado and in November shes releasing a feature film worldwide which documents the El Dorado tour. Jennifer just wrapped her own 2019 Its My Party Tour.

Honestly, it makes perfect sense it?s Miami, it?s J.Lo, it?s Shakira. It all fits. My guess is that there will also be some guest performances by some Cuban-American acts too, just because there?s so much Cuban and Cuban-American influence in Miami. Gloria Estefan? I WOULD DIE!!! Pitbull is also tight with J.Lo, so I bet he?s on board too.

When did Jennifer Lopez first become an ICON? Was it when she did Selena and she started getting invited to all of the big Hollywood events? Was it when Out of Sight became the best Steven Soderbergh movie ever? Was it when J.Lo first released On the 6 and fully became the ?triple-threat?? Was it Bennifer 1.0? Was it her relationship with Puffy? Or was it when she stepped out at the 2000 Grammys in that iconic green Versace dress with the plunging V-neck down to her navel? That was definitely one of the biggest moments. I choose to believe Jennifer was an icon before then, but that one moment definitely threw her into the stratosphere.
That was 19 years ago. Jennifer still has the dress. But Donatella Versace made her a new one out of the same material (or very similar material) and Jennifer decided to? walk the Versace runway during Milan Fashion Week. Check out this fking strut:
Donatella asked Jennifer to come and walk in this dress specifically. And Vogue was there to document it, and they did an interview with Jennifer as we approach the 20-year anniversary of THE DRESS. This is pretty cool:
It?s crazy to think that it?s been almost 20 years since that moment. It?s crazy to think that Jennifer is the reason why Google Images exist. It?s crazy to think that Jennifer is 50 years old and she still looks THIS amazing. Fifty years old, and brilliantly playing a stripper in Hustlers, and she?ll likely get her first-ever Oscar nomination for it too. She will deserve the nomination, and just my opinion: she?ll deserve the Oscar too. And on Oscar night, I hope she?s wearing something this sexy and provocative.

Now that football season is here ugh it?s time to start talking about the Super Bowl. We?re months away from that sh-t, but here we are. Super Bowl LIV will be in Miami, at the Hard Rock Stadium. So, there?s some talk that the NFL wants to really go full Miami and get Jennifer Lopez for the Halftime show. While she?s not FROM Miami, she has a home there and she spends a lot of time there. And honestly, as I?m sitting here thinking about it? why hasn?t she been asked before? Jennifer Lopez has some bangers and she loves to put on a good show. Her Las Vegas residency was a sellout and a huge success. She?s in the middle of some kind of career Renaissance. Maybe she should do it. J.Lo was asked about on the Today Show and she didn?t say no:
Jennifer Lopez may add quite the credit to her resum. Rumors are swirling the singer-actress may perform at the Super Bowl. J.Lo addressed the talk in a TODAY interview with Hoda Kotb that will air Friday.
?Are you going to do the Super Bowl?? Hoda asked her.
?I don?t know. I don?t yet, we will see,? Lopez, who has promoted the NFL?s current 100th season on social media, replied while laughing.
?It?s something obviously that I would love to do,? she continued. ?It would be an honor to do and it would be a lot of fun. I feel like more than anything, we would have a ball doing it.?
Super Bowl LIV is scheduled to take place Sunday, Feb. 2, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which, coincidentally, is the hometown of Lopez?s fianc, Alex Rodriguez.
[From Today]
She would be? good at it. Better than Adam Levine!! Better than some of the recent peeps whose performances were truly unmemorable. When did Justin Timberlake do it? When did Beyonce do her Black Panther thing during Coldplay?s set? Yeah. J.Lo can handle it. And it would be good too! As for the Oscars? I feel strongly based on the overwhelming buzz that Jennifer will be getting an Oscar nomination. Prepare yourselves for a whole lotta J.Lo.

Here are some photos from this weekend?s TIFF premiere of Hustlers. This is not the first ?premiere,? I don?t think? There was some kind of lowkey premiere event last week or the week before, it was in New York and it was basically the start of the promotional tour. I also just recently learned that there is a mood among critics that Jennifer Lopez should be and perhaps will be nominated for an Oscar in Best Supporting Actress for Hustlers. Which would be amazing, honestly. The point is that we?ll probably be talking about Hustlers for months.
For this TIFF premiere, Jennifer understandably went all-out. She wore a canary yellow Maison Yeya gown which would make most women look like Deconstructed Big Bird. But on J.Lo, the dress looks amazing. And yes, Alex Rodriguez was there to support her.
Constance Wu in Georges Hobeika. This looks super-cheap, right? Am I just imagining that because I?m over her?
Lili Reinhart wore Rodarte. Those shoulder flowers are? something. She?s beautiful, but the dress is A LOT.

Jennifer Lopez turned 50 this year. 50 is a big deal for most people, the usual card and slice of cake won?t cut it. But it especially wont do for JLo, so she created her own birthday celebration and took it on a worldwide tour. Jennifer just wrapped her It?s My Party Tour, which included an international leg. Jennifer took a video log of her travels/celebration that included behind-the-scenes clips, concert footage and personal moments with family so we could celebrate right along with her:
Jennifer introduced the video with a voice-over explaining why she choose to take her birthday global. JLo wants everyone to realize that women don?t have to hide in the shadows once they turn 50.
Everybody thought I was crazy when I wanted to go out and let everybody know that I was 50. That was something, like, ?Why are we highlighting this, again?? But for me, was important. It was important as a woman to do that. To let people know that you don?t get to write women off at a certain point in their life. You don?t get to write people off. You?re getting better and better as you go, so long as you are open to the experience of growing and evolving. And to me that was very important to put out there. And until we started the show, it just seemed like a fun idea to me, to have a party, all summer. Also, on the other hand, that it would be so much fun to celebrate my 50th birthday in this way.
I mean, I love it. You all are tired of hearing me wail about complimenting a woman on her appearance with the caveat ?for her age.? I am exactly like JLo, I?ll look for opportunities to tell people I?m 50. If I?d thought of it, I would have totally taken my birthday on the road (and am possibly mildly miffed she didn?t think to make our turning 50 in the same year a joint thing, but whatever).
She?s right, women need to remember that we can shine for as long as there is light left in us. And we need to do it in any way that makes us happy. Whether it?s filling laugh lines or rocking grey hair, I just want to see women out there being their version of 50 and not trying to imply there?s anything wrong with aging. I love that JLo blew the f?king doors off her birthday. If she?s turning her milestone into a movement, sign me up.

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez clearly want to be their own ?brand? as a couple. They?re both crazy-rich already and they both have their separate celebrity brands. But they want to be J-Rod: The A-List, Over-the-Top Couple. They want their brand to be excess & family. They want free sh-t and they?re happy to promote that free sh-t with excessive YouTube videos in which they highlight their excess & family. So? what did Alex Rodriguez give Jennifer for her 50th birthday? A new car. A Porsche, to be exact. What could have been revealed in an Instagram post instead became an eight-minute YouTube video where we get to see A-Rod chatting with his daughters and setting up the car deal and then revealing the car to Jennifer (he felt her up during the reveal, which tells me he enjoys blindfolds).
The car is a 2019 911 Carrera GTS Porsche, which retails for $146,420 and he got it in lipstick red, and it was customized by the Ocean Auto Club. I assume it was comped too, considering this is just a not-so-lowkey ad for Ocean Auto Club. Alex also says that Jennifer ?hasn?t driven in 25 years,? which I didn?t believe until Jennifer said the same thing. Jennifer was happy about her gift, and she said, ?I?m going to have to drive? It?s beautiful! I?ve never driven a car like that! I?ve never had a car like this. I?ve never driven a car, period! My heart?s beating out of my chest!? She seemed genuinely pleased with her gift, which makes me feel? okay about this. I was going to grumble even more, but hell, she seemed beyond thrilled. It?s a wonder that, like, Marc Anthony never gave her a car??

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged in March, shortly after Jennifer looked really pissed off at A-Rod at the Oscars. Shortly after the engagement happened, various people rained on her parade and called Alex out for being a compulsive cheater. Which I believe, even if I question some of the specifics of when he cheated and with whom. Alex has always been a compulsive cheater, and I guess Jennifer just accepted it. But in the past few months, it has felt weird, right? They took forever in J.Lo-Time to get engaged, and now there?s zero rush to actually have the wedding. Some people think that they?ll never get married. All I know is that there?s a constant refrain that Jennifer is the one who seems a bit reticent. Not only that, but Jennifer reportedly does not want a big wedding. WHO ARE YOU?
When Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez walk down the aisle, expect it to be an intimate affair. In the new issue of PEOPLE, a source says the couple likely ?are not doing a huge wedding? and may instead opt for ?a small family celebration that will, of course, include all four kids.?
Indeed, their children (Lopez?s 11-year-old twins Max and Emme and Rodriguez?s daughters Natasha, 14, and Ella, 11) will play a part in their big day ? when that day comes. The source notes that the pair have yet to set a date.
?They are talking about the wedding, but nothing is finalized,? the source says of the couple, who got engaged in March after more than two years together. ?Her schedule is extremely intense, but she is super excited. Alex is very supportive and will be at most of her shows over the summer. They will travel as a family all around the U.S.?
[From People]
A small wedding? Are you joking? I mean, I?m sure Miss Manners has some rules about one?s fourth wedding, but J.Lo usually does whatever she wants and she likes to celebrate and be the bride. Why is she denying herself the opportunity to really blow it out and throw a big wedding? My guess is that she knows that sh-t will come back to bite her on the ass when the marriage falls apart.
Additionally, Jennifer was asked about the wedding planning by Entertainment Tonight and she said they?re taking it slow and ?Theres no rush. We really see this as something thats gonna be forever, and were gonna just take our time and do it right. And do it not rushed.? Where is our ?in love with love? J.Lo? Who is this mature woman who wants to take her time and not rush anything?

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez out and about in New York yesterday. For several weeks, she?s been in NYC filming Hustlers with a splendid cast of ladies (including Cardi B and a banged Constance Wu). Yesterday, Jennifer stopped by a studio and these photos look like they?re part of a magazine photoshoot, mostly because Jennifer?s ensemble looks so uncomfortable. Sometimes her ?street clothes? just work, and sometimes it?s a miss. The combo of the high-waisted drapey trousers with the platform heels and the ?fur vest? it?s just a big nope. Jennifer also stopped by a radio station yesterday to chat about life in general, and she talked about whether she?s made any wedding plans with Alex Rodriguez yet:
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez dated for two years before announcing their engagement on March 9, and as Lopez reveals on WKTUs Cubby & Carolina In The Morning, they havent started wedding planning yet.
We just got engaged, and then right afterwards we started working right away and were working the rest of the year, so I dont know whats going to happen, she explains in the interview, which releases on Wednesday. We havent decided if were going to squeeze it in somewhere or were going to wait. I really dont know yet. Its easy [to talk about], Im not lying right now.
Lopez definitely has a lot on her plate. On June 7, shell be kicking off her Its My Party tour, to celebrate her upcoming 50th birthday. Shell be on tour for most of the summer.
The kids will probably be with me the whole time, she says of whether her 11-year-old twins, Emme and Max, will be joining her on the road. Alex has Sunday night baseball [for ESPN], so hell be in and out. He told me, Im definitely at opening night, Im definitely at closing night, in between well figure it out.
[From ET Online]
During one of our Gossip with Celebitchy podcasts a few weeks back, CB and I were talking about J-Rod and whether they would even make it down the aisle. CB brought up the idea that maybe this would end up being one of Jennifer?s broken engagements (like the Ben Affleck thing) because A-Rod is such a cheater. My take at the time was that Jennifer will never break an engagement. It?s not in her DNA, even if all of the red flags are there and even if her fiance is a terrible cheater. Jennifer will make it down the aisle. But honestly, I do wonder. She doesn?t seem like she?s in any kind of hurry to get married, which is so unlike her. Hm

Jennifer Lopez has already been on set, filming Hustlers for the past week. It?s filming in New York, and is the true story of a group of strippers who basically masterminded a plan to rob many of their rich clientele. Jennifer was joined on set yesterday by her kids, Alex Rodriguez, and either Jennifer?s nieces or Alex?s daughter. I think A-Rod was the one who organized this outing with the kids, and that they?d all go to the set to visit Jennifer.
Jennifer looked very happy that A-Rod was there with Emme and the girls. Jen also seemed especially glad to see the paparazzi documenting their family outing too. Gee, I wonder why? Is it because yesterday, we heard the sordid story of Alex allegedly hitting up a Playboy model just weeks before he proposed to Jennifer? The idea that A-Rod is a compulsive cheater is nothing new or particularly notable. What is notable is that Jennifer seems okay with just doing the most to convince us that there?s nothing to see here but an A-list couple and their happy family.
After Jennifer was done with work, she and Alex took Emme out to dinner at Polo Bar too, and it was another cute pap stroll go here to see those photos. Jennifer is so delightfully old-school about these photo-ops. I can?t hate her for it. Even though I think this posts headline will be evergreen!

You know what I enjoy? I enjoy the fact that Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are both richer than God and they still take on cheesy advertising contracts for some extra cash. I also enjoy the fact that Jennifer Lopez would never speak to People Magazine about her engagement UNTIL she had to shill for her new sponsorship. That?s how People got Alex and Jennifer on the record in this week?s issue they?re shilling for their joint contract with Australian eyewear label Quay. People Mag even got an exclusive first look at their print ad (you can see it here). Because Jen and Alex are total pros, they also gave People some quotes about the engagement. Some highlights:
J-Rod says they?re happy: Jen says, ?We?re really happy.? Alex says, ?We have [an] appreciation for where we are in our lives today, and that?s what we?re enjoying the most.?
Jen on Alex: ?Everything that we do, we do together. He knows my dreams and I know his dreams, and together we feel like we?re stronger.?
Jen on Miami: ?We all come down here and it?s our city, it?s our second home.?
Alex will be around while Jennifer works: ?I don?t have to play 162 games anymore, so I have a lot of time on my hands.?
Jen on how they support each other: ?We?re constantly supporting each other in our individual endeavors and thinking about all the things that we can build together,? Lopez says. Adds Rodriguez: ?We are very grateful.?
[From People]
Maybe it?s because I sat here and culled all of People Mag?s fluff from the article, but don?t these quotes come across as somewhat? perfunctory? Bordering on terse? I just think that with the Jose Canseco eruption, J-Rod probably feels like their happy engagement announcement got steamrolled. Maybe they?re still salty about it. Or maybe this was an engagement band-aid. When we were recording our podcast this week, CB asked me if they?ll even make it down the aisle (note: CB cut that part, but we did talk about it). Im starting to wonder too.
Here are some photos of J-Rod out and about in New York this week.
