“This Is Me… Now.”But apparently, a better title for J.Lo’s first studio LP in 10 years — since 2014’s “A.K.A.” — might have been “This Is It.”“The truth is I don’t even know if I’ll ever make another album after this,” Lopez, 54, told “Entertainment Tonight” as she explained the different album covers that they did especially for the JLovers — as her faithful fans are known.“It’s such the kind of quintessential kind of Jennifer Lopez J.Lo project, and I really feel very fulfilled, so they really will be collector’s items at a certain point.”After hinting at her possible retirement from the recording studio, Lopez quipped, “Don’t tell Benny [Medina, her longtime manager] that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”Lopez’s ninth studio album, “This Is Me… Now,” is a sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” her third studio LP, which featured the hits “Jenny from the Block” and “All I Have.”Lopez’s now-husband, Ben Affleck, was infamously featured in the “Jenny from the Block” video, and the singer dedicated “Dear Ben” to him.Similarly, “This Is Me… Now,” led by the first single, “Can’t Get Enough,” will reflect their relationship today — two years after they finally got married after calling off their first engagement in 2004.“Our relationship crumbled under the weight of the pressure,” Lopez told Variety.“We lost a sense of ourselves, and we needed to separate because we didn’t know how to survive it.
I had to figure myself out, and he had to figure himself out,” she added.“This Is Me… Now” — which will be accompanied by the Prime Video short film “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” also out Friday — brings things full circle.“I feel like it’s the end of a kind of an era for me and the beginning of a new
.Lizzo is setting the record straight!
Lizzo was reportedly one of the 11 celebs who turned down Jennifer Lopez‘s offer to appear in her Prime Video musical movie This Is Me… Now.
“The Greatest Love Story Never Told” when the Bronx-born diva questions just how much the public might care about her — and her much-hyped comeback album “This Is Me… Now” — in today’s pop landscape.After all, it has been 10 years since Lopez’s last studio LP, 2014’s “A.K.A.” — and a whole 22 years since 2002’s “This Is Me… Then” gave her two of her biggest hits in “Jenny from the Block” and “All I Have.” “I didn’t even have to make the record,” says Lopez, 54, in the doc, which premiered on Prime Video Monday night.“It’s not like anybody was clamoring for the next J.Lo record, you know what I mean?”Well, damn, she was sure right about that.Despite a major promotional campaign — including a star-studded short film, “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” that accompanied the album release — Lopez’s ninth studio LP made an absolutely abysmal debut on the Billboard 200 at No. 38.Just to put that into perspective, seven of the singer’s previous studio albums debuted in the Top 10 — with 2001’s “J.Lo” opening all the way up at No.
Jennifer Lopez has released her new documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told on Prime Video and it gives fans an inside look at the making of her musical movie This Is Me… Now.
EXCLUSIVE: There is a hot bidding war heating up for Mattel’s animated take of Bob the Builder with heavy interest from Netflix, Amazon MGM Studios, and DreamWorks Animation and others. We hear that offers have been made, and that no one is merely circling for this animated feature which speaks greatly to the Latino and Hispanic community.
Y’all don’t care about Jennifer Lopez‘s new album. Ouch! This and much more on our latest show! CLICK HERE to listen to the newest episode of The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker in full at PerezPodcast.com
Todd Gilchrist editor With her ninth album “This Is Me…Now,” Jennifer Lopez promised to be more honest and vulnerable than ever before — a bookend to 2002’s “This Is Me…Then” in which she would “tell her side” of the romances that for decades have been one-dimensionally splashed across the pages of tabloids worldwide. Even as a lifelong fan, I was skeptical just how far back she’d draw the curtain given the meticulous control she’s exerted over her career.
Jennifer Lopez dropped jaws in 2000 when she attended the GRAMMYs in a green plunging Versace gown. The “Jenny from the Block” singer attended the awards show with her boyfriend at the time, Diddy, and it’s become an iconic fashion moment in pop culture.
Jennifer Lopez has said that her new album ‘This Is Me… Now’ is the result of a “20 year journey” that has encompassed her “entire music career”. The album was released yesterday (February 16), alongside its accompanying film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a fictionalised account of Lopez’ love life with Ben Affleck. In an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Lopez spoke about the two projects, saying that they are all about her “reconciling” the last two decades of “growth and all the falling down and getting up” that she has done.
Jane Fonda isn’t afraid to give Jennifer Lopez her very honest opinion about her marriage with Ben Affleck!
Todd Gilchrist editor Jennifer Lopez has spent the better part of her career navigating the two halves of her public persona: Bronx-born girl next door “Jenny from the block” and Hollywood power player “J.Lo.” Though much of the tension between the two has been amplified by media coverage that spans calculated marketing campaigns and inescapable paparazzi scrutiny, Lopez has frequently seemed to capitulate to whichever of the two serves her best at the time. “This is Me…Now: A Love Story” is, on its face, the visual component of her self-funded ninth studio album, and at a reported $20 million price tag it’s easy to see it first and foremost as an advertisement.
Ben Affleck and think it’s a good idea to start flirting with him, you might want to rethink it because Jennifer Lopez does not play. The singer, who is currently promoting her new album This is Me... Now, admitted that she still gets jealous when it comes to her husband.Lopez’s album is out tomorrow, February 16, and the Enough star stopped by the Today Show with Hoda and Jenna, where she played a hilarious game revealing if things resonate with who she was “then” vs “now.” Lopez released her album This Is Me.. Then in 2002, when she was dating Affleck for the first time.
You kinda have to love the Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck marriage and relationship. One is a pop superstar who craves the spotlight, and the other is an actor/director who had his fill of fame in the ’90s and seemingly craves his own privacy.
“This Is Me… Now” — the sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” which dropped on Friday — is her first LP as Mrs.
Jennifer Lopez’s much-anticipated new album “This Is Me… Now” — the sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” which drops on Friday — once again revolves around her Hollywood love affair with “Gigli” co-star Ben Affleck.But just like that much-maligned romantic comedy did in 2003, Lopez’s first studio album in 10 years — since 2014’s “A.K.A.” — proves yet again that sometimes art and amor just don’t mix.First off, like most sequels, it pales compared to the original.While it was hardly Janet Jackson’s “The Velvet Rope,” Rihanna’s “Anti” or Beyoncé’s anything, “This Is Me… Then” was probably J.Lo’s most “artistic” album.Yes, it had two hit hip-pop bops in “Jenny from the Block” — which infamously featured Affleck in its video — and the lip-licking LL Cool J collab “All I Have.” But Lopez’s third studio LP also found the singer-actress digging for more emotional depth than she had shown on either 1999’s “On the 6” or 2001’s “J.Lo.”But you know what? “On the 6” and “J.Lo” were ultimately better albums because Lopez played to her strengths with booty-shaking beats — the better to hoof it up in some killer couture — rather than heart-tugging feels.And “This Is Me… Now” leans even more into J.Lover rather than J.Lo.While the first single, “Can’t Get Enough” — another hip-pop bop that samples Alton Ellis’ ’60s reggae classic “I’m Still in Love with You” while nodding to Marcia Aitken’s 1977 version of the song— would’ve been a hit 20 years ago, the rest of Lopez’s ninth studio album finds the Bronx-born diva stuck in a romantic rut.
Jennifer Lopez just announced she’s heading out on her ‘This Is Me…Now: The Tour’ from June through August.Along the way, the New York City native will swing into Belmont Park, NY’s UBS Arena on Friday, Aug. 9, Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Saturday, Aug.
Thania Garcia Following the release of her new album, “This Is Me…Now,” and the premiere of its matching short film, Jennifer Lopez has announced she is heading out on tour. The Live Nation-produced trek marks the singer and actor’s first time on the road since 2019’s “It’s My Party” tour and sees her hitting arenas in over 30 cities across North America. Starting with Orlando’s Kia Center on June 26, Lopez will stop in cities including Miami, Los Angeles, Toronto and New York before wrapping up in Houston on Aug.
songs from her new album, also called “This Is Me… Now,” and somehow concern itself with the many highs and Los of her topsy-turvy romances.Well, now that it’s here in all its gaudy glory, I can reveal that the Amazon flick is a whole lot wilder than touching introspection set to music. This ain’t an acoustic Springsteen on a stool, or Miley in the backyard.J.Lo has delivered an over-the-top song-and-dance camptacular, both gravely serious and deliriously funny, providing one cuckoo moment after another.
Jenny From The Block may be one of Jennifer Lopez’s most defining songs — but its music video is far from what she wanted it to be!
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck bring major star power to any event they attend, but the most important ones are always when they are supporting each other.
