On Friday, February 5/10, there was a meeting of the divas in Miami, when Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez met for lunch with their friends at the Fontainebleau Hotel.

The two are currently in the sunny city for the Super Bowl weekend festivities. Rihanna performed the previous night for VH1’s Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam and is hosting a private party, also sponsored by Pepsi.

With her Starbucks, shades and sleeveless shoulder top, singer/actress Jennifer Lopez headed out to meet Rihanna for lunch at Miami’s Fontainebleau hotel. Rihanna got the party start before Lopez got to the spot, popping champagne poolside with her girls.

Jennifer has been regular visitor in Miami throughout the football season, supporting her husband Marc Anthony since he became a Miami Dolphins owner. Their team didn’t make it into the Super Bowl, but Jennifer is participating on Saturday, February 6/10 in the Celebrity Beach Bowl.

Jennifer Lopez: I deserved an Oscar nomination for my role in 'El Cantante'


In a recent interview with Latina magazine, she talked about her husband Marc Anthony, working with former flames and her Oscar potential.

Lopez revealed a moment of egoism, admitting that she felt her performance in the film "El Cantante," in which she starred with Anthony, should have earned her an Oscar.

"I feel like I had that [Oscar worthy role] in 'El Cantante,' but I don't think the academy members saw it," says Lopez. "It is a little bit frustrating. When the Oscars were on, I had just given birth on the 22nd, and the Oscars I think were a day or two later. I was sitting there with my twins — and I couldn't have been happier — but I was like 'How dope would it have been if I would've won the Oscar and been here in my hospital bed accepting the award?'"

Lopez says that "things will happen when they're supposed to happen" and that she has the "utmost faith and no doubt that it will one day."

She also explains why she doesn't flinch at seeing former flames in her past work.

"Every one of my albums is very spot-on with who I was at the time ... I can't regret the things I did in the past, like putting somebody in a video that I was with. Who cares?" Lopez tells the magazine. "I think people relate to me because they know that I'm not being phony."

That "somebody in a video" might be a reference to backup dancer Cris Judd, whom Lopez met on the set of her music video "Love Don't Cost a Thing" and later married, only to start dating actor Ben Affleck about a year later.

Yet Lopez's high-profile past relationships and previous failed marriages (her first marriage was to Ojani Noa in 1997) has taught her a lot about love, she says.

"You've got to grow with each other; you've gotta bend over backwards for each other," the singer/actress says.

That kind of flexibility and commitment is what makes her most recent marriage, to singer Marc Anthony, such a success.

"Everything is great about my marriage," Lopez says. "We love each other ... in a way that's very deep and meaningful ... We force each other to be better, and I think in a relationship, that's how it should be. You shouldn't be with somebody if he makes you feel less than who you are."

Lopez's next film, a romantic comedy called "The Back Up Plan," hits theaters on April 16.

Jennifer Lopez Jokes About Her Fall During AMA Performance


Jennifer Lopez’s had a fall at the 2009 American Music Awards. She's an expert when it comes to stage performances, so we're really at a loss why she landed on her bottom during her “Louboutins” performance. No one could miss the whole thing even though she bounced right back up and proceeded with the same energy in her performance... something that we admire her for.

However, in the video of the particular performance, J.Lo is clearly seen with a furious expression on her face.

The morning after the AMA, Jennifer appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. When the host asked her about her fall, she laughingly replied, “Fall? What fall?” She even joked that the fall was all part of the choreography.

Despite the fall, J.Lo said that she’s very happy to be back on stage and performing: “It was fun, it was really fun. It was nice to be back on stage and doing my thing.”

Did you like her AMA performance?

Jennifer Lopez Tries to Stop Ex's Biopic


Jennifer Lopez didn't want details of her marriage to Ojani Noa publicized in a book, and she doesn't want it out there in a movie either. They were married in February 1997 and it ended a year later.

Citing the injunction all parties agreed upon two years ago, lawyers for the singer-actress have sent a cease-and-desist letter to her first ex-husband, Ojani Noa, demanding that he stop trying to profit from his brief marriage to the twice-since remarried star.

According to the letter, Noa's been shopping a film project called "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story" and has advertised for players on an open-casting website.

"It would strain credulity to the breaking point for those involved in the writing, development and the pre-production of the Proposed Film to claim that they were not aware" of the injunction in place, Lopez attorney John Lavely wrote.

The injunction prevented Noa from publishing a supposed tell-all book a few years back that claimed Lopez, among other things, was hooking up with Marc Anthony while the singer was still married. He was also ordered to pay $545,000 in damages for breaking a confidentiality clause he signed in 2005.

But despite its straightforward title, the film's executive producer states that the film would start with Noa's arrival from Cuba on U.S. shores and take him through his courtship of and yearlong marriage to Lopez, and end with her ill-fated 2002 engagement to Ben Affleck. The film would detail Lopez's alleged infidelities while married to Noa. He also claims Lopez cheated on various boyfriends with him.

"It's a parody, so usually law doesn't apply to the story unless it's something serious," she said. "It's showing that he can get over it. It's comic. This is not about Jennifer Lopez's life, this is about Ojani's life."

Jennifer Lopez's Back-up Plan for the Twins


After taking a year off to care for Emme and Max, the 18-month-old twins that she had by her husband Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez is back at work recording an album and has a film called "The Back-Up Plan" already completed.

She says she hates being away from the children, but has found an interesting way of keeping in touch. "I call up on the web camera so I can see them while I'm away and just look at them," says the 40-year-old actress. "Then my daughter starts crying when she sees me on screen. She holds out her arms to me and gets very upset. It breaks my heart if I'm away from them even for a short time." She adds twins can be "hard work", but she has a nanny to help out.

Also on news about Jennifer...her husband Marc Anthony has become a partial owner of the Miami Dolphins, "I'm a huge sports fan," says Anthony, 40. "These opportunities don't come around too often. It's quite an honor and a privilege to be able to sit here today saying that I'm a part-owner of an NFL team." Anthony struck a deal with Stephen Ross, the New York-based real estate entrepreneur who bought a 95-percent stake in the Dolphins franchise in January. The singer did not disclose the financial terms. "It would have probably been cheaper just to buy season tickets," he said, joking.

Anthony says he and wife Jennifer Lopez are house hunting now. "Jennifer loves Miami," he says. "So she's really, really happy about this because we're going to be spending a lot of time down there."

Jennifer Lopez Turns 40 Today


Jennifer Lopez turns 40 years today and she kicked off the celebration last night.

The actress has been busy filming The Back-Up Plan in New York and took some time off to party with the crew and husband Marc Anthony. She had a huge chocolate cake to share with everyone. It featured a big photo of herself and the message: "Jennifer...thanks for being our Plan A! You're the best. And...happy birthday!" She also got kisses from her husband and toasted with champagne.

Despite turning the dreaded 40, a milestone that has most women pretending it doesn't exist, Jenny was very happy throughout the event. Do you miss her over-the-top J.Lo days or do you like the new softer, domesticated side of Jennifer? Either way, Happy Birthday!

Jennifer Lopez Wins Wins Cybersquatting Case


A Phoenix man can no longer use Web addresses with singer Jennifer Lopez name to make money, the World Intellectual Property Organization says.

An arbitrator with the U.N. organization rejected Phoenix resident Jeremiah Tieman's stance that his jenniferlopez.net and jenniferlopez.org Web sites offered information and updates about the "Jenny from the Block" star. In finding Tieman was using the Internet sites to make money off advertising, William R. Towns ordered March 24 that the domain names be turned over to the Jennifer Lopez Foundation. The charitable foundation promotes better access to healthcare for women and children.

Lopez had sued Tieman over the sites, alleging they violated U.S. copyright laws. She officially registered her name a trademark in the United States in May 1999. Towns ruled that Tieman's online domains were not actual fan Web sites of the celebrity, but linked to a Web site that was based on generating revenues through paid advertisements. She joins other celebrities in ousting cybersquatters through the dispute procedure, including Pierce Brosnan, Tom Cruise, Celine Dion, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman, Madonna and Julia Roberts.

Jennifer Lopez Stars in West Side Story


Rita Moreno plays the part in the movies. Chita Rivera's work in the original stage production is legendary. Recently, Karen Olivo played the role on Broadway. Now Jennifer Lopez rules the web as Anita, the fiesty Latina immigrant who sauces up West Side Story.

Lopez is the star of “West Side Story Revisited,” a glossy portfolio currently featured on Vanity Fair’s website. Shot by veteran VF photographer Mark Seliger, the pictorial recreates several scenes from the classic 1961 movie, which was adapted from 1957’s landmark Laurents-Bernstein-Sondheim musical, which itself was based loosely on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. All of the story’s iconic locales—the streets, the gym, the rooftop dance-off—are represented, and of course, a photo of J-Lo’s butt!

Lopez told Vanity Fair's Jim Windolf that she watched the West Side Story movie "37 times" as a kid, and was attracted to the part of Anita. "I never wanted to be that wimpy Maria, who sits around pining for her guy," she said. "I wanted to be Anita, who danced her way to the top."

American superstar band The Jonas Brothers have bought a new expensive family compound in Hollywood Hills which is right next door to Jennifer Lopez's estate, and includes the former home of movie Tarzan Johnny Weismuller, which has laid empty for over 20 years.

The three brothers-Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas-bought the estate just six months before Lopez put her estate on sale.

Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez Impress Inaugural Gala


Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony graced "la alfombra roja" — the red carpet — at Union Station to give a Hispanic flair to the inauguration pre-celebration on Sunday, January 18. They posed quickly for cameras with no visible signs of the marital distress that tabloids have been buzzing about recently. The two singers entertained the crowd at the end of the night.

Lopez introduced Anthony after making a pitch for the new president. "Yes we can," she said to the cheering crowd. "We all stood together and said 'Yes we will.'" Lopez, wearing an electric blue strapless gown, towered over her husband Anthony, who wore pinstripes. Her piled-high updo added a few more inches.

The couple said little from the carpet, but Anthony traded a hug with Miami-born Wilmer Valderrama, star of "That '70s Show," as he swiftly moved off the carpet.
Valderrama actively promoted registration and voting among young Latinos during the presidential election. "All of us performers, not until this election did we really understand what we could do," Valderrama said.

Though focus of the night was entertainment, the music quickly mixed with politics.
Tony Plana, who plays Betty's father in the television series "Ugly Betty," said he was ecstatic about President-elect Barack Obama's victory. He said an Obama administration could improve the lives of all minorities. But he also said Hispanics deserved a better spot on the inaugural festivities list. "It's a concern this event tonight is not an official event of the administration. It's a little sad for me Latinos had to organize their own event," Plana said. He said he hoped it did not mean Hispanics would be relegated to a back seat.

The event was organized by the National Council of La Raza and other Hispanic organizations. Members of Congress filtered in and mixed in the VIP room with some of the stars. Other entertainers at the event included Mexican singer Lila Downs, comedian George Lopez, actress Rosie Perez, telenovela actress Angelica Vale and others.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Still Together

Jennifer Lopez's Marriage is Not in Trouble


Jennifer Lopez is entering her first Christmas with twins Max and Emme. Despite rumors that her marriage with Marc Anthony is in trouble, her representative stated that the marriage is okay and everything is fine.

The rumors started recently because Marc Anthony was partying solo in Las Vegas, where he watched the Oscar De La Hoya boxing match with Eva Longoria Parker and Russell Crowe. The sight of Marc alone surprised most people, even at the time, because this is one married couple that does everything together. It also didn't help when Jennifer left her wedding ring at home when she attended the premiere of Brad Pitt's new movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

Seen here are photos of her shopping recently for Christmas gifts at "Barneys and Saks" in Los Angeles on December 18.

Jennifer Lopez Just as Qualified as Caroline Kennedy for Senate?


Jennifer Lopez's name has been mentioned in the debate about Caroline Kennedy's (JFK's daughter) ability to serve in the US Senate.

Queens Rep. Gary Ackerman said, "I don't know what Caroline Kennedy's qualifications are, except that she has name recognition, but so does J.Lo, I wouldn't make J.Lo the senator unless she proved she had great qualifications, but we haven't seen them yet." New York Gov. David Paterson has reportedly contacted Kennedy about taking over Hillary Clinton's Senate seat. Kennedy has been the director of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Commission on Presidential Debates, among other things.

While we like Jennifer Lopez as a person, we don't think she's qualified to be a senator. Of course what do we know, as we also felt that action movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't qualified to be California Governor (a position he holds until 2011) when he was first elected in 2003.

Ben Affleck Talks About Jennifer Lopez Break-up


Ben Affleck has finally talked about his high-profile engagement to Jennifer Lopez, saying the pair was "too accessible" to the media.

Affleck and Lopez - both now remarried with children - began dating in 2002 after meeting on set of their film "Gigli." The former couple broke-up shortly before they were supposed to marry in September 2004, marking the end of a media event that surrounded their relationship.

He says, "I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible. I don't think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own."

The actor is expecting his second child with actress Jennifer Garner -- whom he married in 2005 - later this year.

Jennifer Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in 2004 and gave birth to twins in February 2008.
