Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez may have been paid proverbial pennies for her role in this year’s “Hustlers” but with its huge payoff, they may as well have been pennies from heaven. Taking a gamble on herself turned out to be a great choice for the Bronx-born bombshell who revealed that she took a major pay cut to get the blockbuster movie made. “I do things because I love them...I didn’t get paid a whole bunch of money for ‘Hustlers,’" Lopez revealed during an interview with GQ magazine’s “Men of the Year” issue, which hits stands Tuesday. “I did it for free and produced it,” she elaborated about the Lorene Scafaria-helmed flick, based on Jessica Pressler’s New York Magazine article about scheming New York City strippers. “I bank on myself,” she told the magazine. “That’s the ‘Jenny From the Block.’ I do what I want, I do what I love.” “Hustlers,” which also starred Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Cardi B and Lizzo, grossed close ...

Jennifer Lopez is heading back to the Golden Globes as a nominee. Over 20 years after the singer scored her first nod for playing the titular character in the 1997 biopic Selena , the 50 year old received her second nomination on Monday. The Hollywood star scooped up a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her portrayal of Ramona in the drama Hustlers . Hours after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced the nominees for the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards, Jennifer took to social media to react to the news.  “Oh my god, it’s been 20 years since I was nominated for Selena !” she exclaimed in a video. The nominee went on to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the “incredible” honor. “I am humbled and so excited to be recognized for this role as Ramona in Hustlers . Thank you so much and I’ll see you at the Globes,” she squealed.  Alongside the post, Jennifer also noted that she “could not be prouder” ...

Jennifer Lopez has opened up about how her views on marriage and relationships have evolved over time, revealing that her daughter already has a mature outlook on love. Lopez has had to deal with the piercing gaze of the public eye throughout a career spanning almost three decades, with much attention placed on the goings on of her personal life. Now happily in love with former professional baseball player Alexander Rodriguez, the singer has candidly spoken about how she used to view romance through a traditional lens. “I grew up with the fairy tale, ‘A prince is going to save you’,” she tells Red magazine. “‘Wait for true love and that’s what makes you happy,’ ‘If you’re not married, you’re not happy’.” Lopez has been married three times, with her most recent marriage to singer Marc Anthony lasting a decade. The popstar has two children with Anthony, 10-year-old twins Maximilian David and Emme Maribel. Lopez expressed her pride in her daughter for learning h...

  ‘We have to be stronger and more conscious of not hurting fragile egos at times’ Stereotypical gender roles may present women as the more sensitive sex, but Jennifer Lopez thinks the opposite is true, telling Vanity Fair that men are “much more fragile”. Speaking about her new film A Second Act , in which she plays an assistant retail manager who tactfully navigates the delicate egos of the male characters around her, Lopez explained how she often finds herself doing this in real life. “I think as women, we have to do that all the time,” she told the magazine. “We’re said to be the more fragile, sensitive gender, but I think the truth is that men are much more fragile and sensitive. And we have to be stronger and more conscious of not hurting fragile egos at times.” The singer and actor went on to explain how she thinks this is something women should be cautious of, particularly those who are “strong” and “assertive”, which she says can be “off-putt...

If you missed Jennifer Lopez on the Oscars red carpet Sunday night — we feel you. But luckily, we still got a standout style moment from the megastar. Lopez — who earned a best supporting actress nod for Hustlers at the SAG Awards, Critics’ Choice Awards and Golden Globes but was snubbed by the Academy, much to the disappointment of fans and critics alike — still managed to make a fashion statement on Sunday night despite not walking the 2020 Oscars red carpet. One week after her ground-breaking Super Bowl performance, the 50-year-old singer and actress shared a mirror pic wearing a strappy sequin gown with a sexy cutout and a daring slit up the side. The glamorous v-neck style, which she teamed with peep-toe platform heels and diamond jewels, was a quintessential choice for Lopez. Lopez attended entertainment mogul Guy Oseary’s party, writing “Ready for an Oscars bash” on her Instagram Story.  The multi-hyphenate performer also posted a close-up photo on her ma...

If there was any doubt that Jennifer Lopez was in tip top shape, that doubt fell by the wayside when the pop star took to Instagram to share a photo of her majorly toned abs, while wearing a pink bikini. In the photo, JLo’s abs were front and center, letting fans know that she was in character for her new movie Hustlers . Decked out in an itsy-bitsy bikini, bling jewelry, oversized sunglasses and pink mating lipstick, the “Jenny From the Block” singer shared a sneak peek into her upcoming movie. “I’m a hustler baby… I just want you to know… #Ramona on fire 🔥 On set and in character for #hustlersmovie #stxentertainment ,” she wrote alongside the stunning photo. The new movie, Hustlers , due out in 2020, will have Jennifer playing a stripper along with Cardi B, Lili Reinhart, Keke Palmer and Julia Stiles. According to  The Hollywood Reporter , the movie premise is about former strip club employees who devised a scheme to steal te...

Jennifer Lopez is receiving a lot of praise for her work in the movie, Hustlers . Yet, the muse for the film was not impressed by her performance. During an interview with TMZ, Hustlers ' inspiration, Samantha Barbash, claimed that the movie studio stole her story. "They pretty much basically stole my story," Barbash said. "I wouldn't sign my rights away... I wasn't giving up my TV and film rights for peanuts. J. Lo doesn't work for free. Why would I? I'm a businesswoman." When speaking on the deal that director Lorene Scafaria offered her through her lawyer, Barbash claimed she has " Hermès bags" that were more valuable. Despite not giving up her rights to the story, Barbash still thought that Lopez should have reached out to her to study her mannerisms and likeness. "She didn't even reach out to the woman that she's portraying. I think that's like a little, kind of degrading as an actress," ...

Jennifer Lopez isn't bothered by her prudish critics. The 50-year-old entertainer is receiving some mild backlash over her Super Bowl halftime performance with Shakira. Though the show received an outpouring of praise, there was small—but very vocal—group of people who claimed the performance was too sexy. There was a debate across social media about whether the show was objectifying or empowering, as it featured everything from pole-dancing and revealing costumes to a multicultural children's choir and an homage to the performers' Latino heritage. "I think that’s honestly silliness," Lopez told Variety about the criticism. "Both of us are really respectful performers who are moms and have kids and are very conscious of what we do. We (put on) a show that I believe was a celebration of women and our Latino culture that I think was really well reserved." Shortly after the Super Bowl broadcast, Ohio minister Dave Daubenmire announced...

It's been a pretty big year for Jennifer Lopez. She turned 50, went on tour, earned rave reviews for her turn as a shrewd stripper in Hustlers , judged a new season of World of Dance  and got engaged to retired baseball star Alex Rodriguez. And on Sunday, she will take on the Super Bowl halftime show, one of the most-watched half-hours in American television, with Colombian singer Shakira. "It's a lot of energy, it's very entertaining -- there are heartfelt moments," Lopez told reporters on Thursday in Miami. "It's very Shakira and it's very Jennifer." Lopez literally does it all -- "Jenny from the Block" is an actress, singer, dancer, producer and businesswoman. And she says she is finally used to "being the boss". "Nobody in my family was really the boss of anything. We all had bosses," she told entertainment industry magazine Variety in an interview last year. "But I guess in the past few ye...

Jennifer Lopez wore low-slung white flares in the early 2000s, and she wore them well. Maybe that's why when we spotted her on the set of her new movie, Hustlers , we had instant flashbacks. While she likely wasn't meant to channel her pop-star persona from the early aughts, you could put her on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in '01, and we'd be fully prepared for a cut to Cris Judd in the audience. We actually love spotting Jennifer in this nostalgic combination right now, since it's having a resurgence in fashion. Dressing like J Lo, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera in slinky tops and throwback denim is what's on the memo. Add a metallic hobo bag like the one Jennifer's carrying, and you're golden. A spaghetti-strap newspaper tank is just the ticket you need to get started, so keep reading to refresh your memory on some of J Lo's finest moments mastering the style, then pick up the essentials.

Jennifer Lopez is never not busy. The actress is currently shooting her upcoming romantic comedy Marry Me , and was photographed at JFK airport in New York looking stunning in a tight sequined red dress. The film marks a return to romantic comedies for Lopez, who recently received critical acclaim for her role in her summer blockbuster Hustlers . 2019 has been a big year for Lopez, who also went on tour to celebrate her 50th birthday in addition to getting engaged to boyfriend Alex Rodriguez this spring. She’ll start 2020 off with a bang, too, with a headlining Super Bowl halftime show alongside Shakira. Rodriguez recently opened up about Lopez’s reaction to getting the Super Bowl offer, saying she was brought to tears. “She's been rehearsing for, like, six weeks,” he said during an appearance on the Today show. “When we got that call from [NFL commissioner] Roger Goodell and the league and Jay Z, we were thrilled and she was in tears.” Lopez released...

Not to be dramatic or anything, but Jennifer Lopez just shut the 2020 Golden Globes red carpet all the way down. Sure, that ball gown, complete with a massive golden bow, is nice and all, but it's her mile-high braided updo that's got everyone falling over themselves to capture the moment. Lopez couldn't trust just anyone to create such an important look, so it's no surprise that she leaned on the shoulder of her go-to hairstylist Chris Appleton to construct the style worthy of renaissance royalty. Thankfully, Appleton shared some of his styling process with Allure via a press release. And — no shocker here — this look is not suited for the faint of heart (or head). The base for Lopez's structural braids is a sleek ponytail; Appleton prepped her wet hair with Color Wow's Dream Coat serum and Cult Favorite hairspray before using a Dyson blow-dryer to smooth hair back and away from her face. Creating the braid itself seems rather simple: separat...

Lopez might not get to live out her fantasy on a daily basis but she definitely enjoys the finer things in life. Over the summer, Lopez and Rodriguez visited a multitude of different luxury locales all over the world, from Miami to Monaco. She also has a fondness for yachts and was spotted many times during her vacations chilling out on board a huge, comfortable luxury liner. When it comes to indulgences closer to home, Lopez also doesn’t skimp. She likes to decorate her home with Le Labo’s Santal 26 candle, which comes in at the hefty price tag of $75 per candle. Lopez reportedly loves them so much that she orders them in bulk, and purchases around 50 each month. While that might seem like a major indulgence for most people, Lopez knows what she likes and doesn’t hold back from buying designer goods. Perhaps it’s only a matter of time before she buys her own island in Italy after all. Source:  cheatsheet

As a movie icon, a global pop icon, and an internet-melting fashion icon, nobody owned 2019 quite like Jennifer Lopez. First of all, Jennifer Lopez's apartment looks exactly as you'd imagined, a penthouse in the sky replete with tasteful floral arrangements, flickering Le Labo candles, and sofas in shades of ecru, cream, and white that, while cozy, appear remarkably unsullied by the debris of human life. The most surprising thing about the place is the location: It's smack in the middle of a busy part of Manhattan, and yet, at the same time, it's very private. Looking out from her terrace, you can see thousands of people bustling about, but no one can see you. This was where Lopez was sitting on a recent Sunday. She had just finished working out, because of course she had, and was sipping a cappuccino in makeup-less splendor. That's when a late-season bee, perhaps mistaking her famous skin for actual honey, suddenly dive-bombed her face. I must have ma...

Six days out from her highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime show performance with Shakira on Sunday, the aging-backward superstar got a special visit from aesthetician to the stars and owner of Toska European Spa, Toska Husted. The facialist is based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and often travels to treat her A-list clients. Her regulars include Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian West, Kris Jenner, Billy Porter and Mandy Moore. Husted met Lopez, 50, in Miami during rehearsal week to give J.Lo her signature Toska Triple Lift Luxury Facial, which involves a cleansing and exfoliation, followed by manual lifting and application of customized serums and masks and finished off with using machines of galvanic current and microcurrent technology to lift, sculpt and tone the skin. The skincare expert exclusively spoke with ET about her first time working with Lopez. J.Lo's fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, 44, was of course by his lady's side and joined in on the luxurious pamper s...

Jennifer Lopez , who first stole our hearts when she starred as the late Tejano music star Selena Quintanilla-Perez in her breakout movie Selena , is making waves again. This time as Ramona Vega, a veteran stripper in the Lorene Scafaria-helmed crime drama which J. Lo also co-produced, Hustlers . Based on a 2015 New York magazine article, the Hustlers at Scores by Jessica Pressler, the movie follows a crew of club strippers as they plot to turn the tables on their rich clients. As part of her research, J. Lo went to strip clubs and talked to the dancers. “I learned a lot from the girls,” she said. “I love observing and I talked to a lot of the girls. So it was just good to observe the atmosphere of the club when I went there a few times. Some said they were proud of their body, others said they were single moms or were in college, while some said it was like an addiction or like going to a casino. Sometimes you make $40 a night, sometimes you go home with $5,000. S...

After incredible Super Bowl, we reveal what Jennifer Lopez does to her body and face to look so young. SWINGING around a pole in a sparkling catsuit for the half-time show at last Sunday’s Super Bowl, it’s hard to believe Jennifer Lopez is 50. In her racy outfit, the Jenny From The Block singer wowed fans with her energetic performance and could easily have been mistaken for a woman in her twenties. So how does the mum of two keep her figure and face looking so young? You guessed it – with a LOT of hard work, as we reveal. The BOD PLENTY of effort goes into keeping J-Lo’s body toned. She works out up to six days a week – and not just to keep her wobbly bits at bay, but to keep her mind healthy, too. She said: “I am 100 per cent convinced that working out is part of what makes me so happy.” To keep her workouts fresh, she vows never to do the same thing two days in a row – and it seems she has tried all types, from yoga to HIIT and boxing. She often works o...

JENNIFER Lopez has received another Oscars blow after failing to bag her first-ever nomination, as it's been revealed the superstar is not going to present any awards on the night either. Any hopes the Hustlers star would still be involved in the annual ceremony have been dashed now the 50-year-old has been snubbed from both the presenter's list and the nominations. Fans will know Jennifer has a regular attendant when it comes to the Academy Awards, having presented four times in the past decade. Last year saw Jen take to the stage to present for Best Production Design. While she presented Best Costume Design in 2015, Best Costume Design and Best Makeup in 2012 and Best Original Score in 2010. Before that, she also appeared as a presenter at the awards held in 2007, 2006, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999 and 1998. But the star didn't make the cut for this year's ceremony, which will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Sunday. The ...

Jennifer Lopez isn't just performing at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show, but she also starred in an ad. In a commercial promoting the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Miami, a masked man posing as a window cleaner is able to swipe Jennifer Lopez's blinged-out cup while she prepares her makeup. Lopez, 50, takes off running, chasing the thief through the resort's pool, where she calls on Pitbull for some assistance. Pitbull's pal chucks a pineapple at the runner, knocking him into the water. Lopez and the thief run through the hotel's spa, restaurant and casino. While running through the hotel's concert venue, Lopez asks Steven Van Zandt for help and he points her in the right direction. When Lopez finally catches the culprit, she pulls back their mask to reveal fiance Alex Rodriguez. "Alex?" she says in surprise. But when Lopez turns around, she sees Rodriguez again, this time walking toward her, saying, "Jen, you're...

 With Her Dreamy Powder Blue Gown I'm living for award show season because it means more Jennifer Lopez red carpet moments. The 50-year-old Hustlers star made an appearance at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards on Jan. 12 to accept the prize for best supporting actress, and her darling Elie Saab gown certainly made an impression. The plunging, belted, baby blue dress is practically the polar opposite of her Golden Globes gown, and yet, it demands the same amount of attention. Instead of large metallic bows and a voluminous skirt, the dress (from Saab's 2020 Spring/Summer collection) is understated and subtle-sexy. If anyone can pull off a fashion switch-up like this, it's J Lo. Her stylists, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, tied the dreamy look together with Le Vian jewelry and a Jimmy Choo clutch, and her beauty artists, Scott Barnes and Tom Bachik, gave her a deep-blue smoky eye and a princess-style updo to match the ensemble. Ahead, fi...

Stars dazzle on stage in silver and gold for ‘awesome’ performance     Jennifer Lopez and Shakira lit up the stage during last night’s Super Bowl halftime performance as they delivered renditions of some of their most popular songs. While their singing and dance routines were cause for celebration, Lopez and Shakira also raised the stakes when it came to their outfits, undergoing a series of eye-catching costume changes throughout the 14-minute performance. The show was opened by Shakira, who wore a red, embellished ensemble as she sang her 2009 song “She Wolf”, surrounded by a horde of scarlet-clad dancers. Meanwhile, Lopez commenced her portion of the show wearing a black, leather bodysuit and a billowing, pink skirt, standing on a pole in a nod to her opening scene in Lorene Scafaria’s Hustlers . To check out all the outfits worn by Lopez and Shakira for their highly-praised Super Bowl halftime performance, click through the gallery above...

Jennifer Lopez is being sued for copyright infringement for posting a photo of herself taken by paparazzi to her Instagram account. The federal lawsuit was filed by Splash News and Picture Agency for $150,000 over a picture of Lopez holding hands with Alex Rodriguez in New York City, which the singer shared to her Instagram account in 2017. According to court documents obtained by E! News , the picture agency claims that it is the owner and exclusive copyright holder of the photo - and that Lopez did not have permission to share the picture. “Plaintiff never licensed the photograph to the defendant,” the court documents read. “Nevertheless, Lopez used it without authorisation or permission from plaintiff to do so. “Specifically, Lopez or someone acting on her behalf copied the photograph and distributed it on Instagram, via the @jlo account, on a story posted 7 November 2017.”  The paparazzi agency also alleges that the 50-year-old was informed of her i...
