Movies

Jennifer Lopez has the number 1 movie in the world ... or at least the top flick on Amazon Prime -- the streaming home of "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story."

Check out Amazon Prime right now ... the visual accompaniment to J Lo's first album in nearly a decade is outperforming the new "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" series as well as several other popular shows on Amazon Prime.

And, the movie's not the only project blowing up either ... with her new album reaching the top spot on the iTunes charts.

Worth noting ... iTunes charts are based on people who actually purchase music which isn't as large a market as it used to be -- but, it's also one of the top 50 streaming albums on Apple Music. So we know people are listening.

A couple major accomplishments no doubt, though Lopez is used to reaching this kind of rarefied air. Back in 2001, Lopez's album "J.Lo" debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 ... and her rom-com "The Wedding Planner" topped the box office less than a week later.

So maybe J Lo's promotional tour for the project's got people listening ... as we previously reported, Lopez posed in front of billboards in Times Square to plug her new project. No shame in her face either -- she knows how to play the game!

Some people in L.A. probably did a double take Friday thinking they saw Michael Jackson walking around.

But it was actually the spitting image of the late "King of Pop" -- namely his nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who was on his way to shoot scenes for MJ's upcoming biopic, "Michael."

It's truly amazing how much Jaafar looks almost exactly like the world-famous singer, especially when he's in costume.

Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, which show Jaafar on the movie set, sporting MJ's famous red varsity jacket next to a Tower Records pop-up shop and a huge ad promoting the entertainer's 1979 album, "Off The Walls."

As we reported ... Jaafar -- the son of Jermaine Jackson -- was spotted Thursday shooting scenes for the flick in LA's Encino neighborhood.

Jaafar was in total MJ mode from his hair to his makeup and clothes.

Actress Nia Long, who is playing Michael's mom, Katherine Jackson, also appeared on set Thursday. Colman Domingo wasn't there, but he snagged the role of MJ's dad, Joe Jackson, and has been spotted with the cast.

Jennifer Lopez parecía una turista dando vueltas por Times Square mientras promocionaba su nuevo álbum, porque no hay mejor manera de decirle al mundo lo única que eres, ¡¡¡que posando contigo misma!!!

Eso es exactamente lo que hizo J Lo el viernes, con un fotógrafo siguiéndola por la famosa parada de Nueva York mientras ella posaba delante de un montón de anuncios publicitarios que estaban promoviendo su último proyecto. Esto, por no mencionar el tratamiento visual, la película y un documental con todos los detalles sobre su vida.

Como hemos dicho, Jen aparece como una "forastera", en el corazón de la Gran Manzana, mientras señala y hace poses delante de los anuncios gigantes.

Este es el tipo de cosas que una persona normal haría en Times Square y, sin embargo, aquí está un bona fide de la lista A haciendo lo mismo, sin vergüenza. Jenny tiene un álbum que promocionar, ¡maldita sea!

Por cierto, Jennifer no limitó sus poses autorreferenciales a los grandes anuncios publicitarios que colgaban de los rascacielos, sino que también llevó sus buenas vibraciones a la calle, apoyándose en una furgoneta en la que también aparecía su cara.

Allí, Jen sonrió de oreja a oreja, muy contenta de promocionar su imagen. ¡A primera vista, parece haber funcionado pues aquí estamos hablando de ello!

Vamos a decir esto, el nuevo album de Jen "This Is Me... Now", está recibiendo una tonelada de amor entre los fans, quienes dicen que es un regreso a la década de los 2000 y el R&B y uno de los mejores proyectos de J Lo hasta ahora.

Sharon Stone claims LAPD officers came to her home during the O.J. Simpson chase and whisked her away -- but cops who were on the force back then don't have any such memory.

David Gascon -- who was a commander at the LAPD's Media Relations department during the O.J. years -- tells TMZ ... he's never heard of cops showing up to Sharon's crib on June 17, 1994, when officers were in hot pursuit of Simpson during that infamous televised low-speed chase.

Not only is Gascon personally unaware of it happening ... he says he'd never heard a single report of Sharon's involvement, at least not until she talked about it this past week.

Ditto for Tom Lange ... the lead LAPD detective on the O.J. case tells us he hadn't heard a peep about Sharon's claim cops ushered her to a hotel for safety reasons. In fact, Lange asks the obvious question ... why would O.J. go after Sharon at the time?

Lange insists, if Sharon's Simpson saga happened, he would've heard of it. As for Sharon's M.O. in telling it ... he suspects it might have to do with the 30th anniversary coming up in June.

Last, but not least, we spoke to a retired former LAPD officer -- who worked in the South L.A. division back in 1994 -- and he also says any Sharon-O.J. connection is news to him!

This retired officer questions how or why O.J. would have any reason to go to Sharon's house at the time ... especially with 20 patrol cars chasing him down the freeway.

The way Sharon put it in her new interview, her "Basic Instinct" fame from '92 is what supposedly spurred a bunch of officers to show up to her house to hide her at a hotel. Although, as many here have noted, she had no apparent connection to O.J. in those days.

Sharon has previously talked about how crazy it was for her in the '90s after her then-viral movie skyrocketed her to A-list status ... not to mention making her a bona fide sex symbol.

Again, the fact these former officers are taking her story with a grain of salt does not mean what Sharon is saying didn't occur -- but as far as they're concerned, it was never on their radar.

Jennifer Lopez looked like a tourist in Times Square to plug her new album -- 'cause there's no better way to let folks know you're the one and only ... than by posing with yourself!!!

That's exactly what J Lo did Friday as she had a photog follow her around the famous NYC stop standing in front of a bunch of billboards that were promoting her latest project -- not to mention the visual treatment/movie ... plus, a doc coming out too that's all about her.

Like we said ... Jen very much so comes across like an out-of-towner here, standing in the heart of the Big Apple cheesin' as she points and goofs around in front of the giant ads.

This is the sort of thing a normie would do in Times Square -- and yet, here's a bona fide A-lister doing it ... with no shame to her game. Jenny's got an album to promote, dammit!

BTW, Jennifer didn't confine her self-referential poses to the big billboards hanging up against all the skyscrapers -- she brought her feel-good vibes down to the street level as well ... leaning up against a van at one point that also had her face plastered across the side.

There, too, Jen was smiling ear to ear ... happy to pimp her image for as much pub as possible. On its face, it seems to have worked ... 'cause here we are talking about it!

We'll say this ... Jen's new album, 'This Is Me... Now,' is actually getting a ton of love among fans -- who say it's a throwback to 2000s R&B ... and one of J Lo's best projects yet.

Jennifer López nos está dando algunos detalles muy íntimos sobre su matrimonio con Ben Affleck al cantar sobre su vida sexual juntos en una nueva canción y sí, es subida de tono.

Las cosas se ponen calientes y pesadas en la nueva canción "Greatest Love Story Never Told" de su nuevo álbum "This Is Me... Now". Escucha estas letras, por favor: "Echando de menos tu cuerpo, subiéndose encima de mí, deslizándose dentro de mí, la forma en que lo monto, cuerpos alineados, mira nuestra sincronización".

Está claro que no hay tal cosa como demasiada información cuando se trata de J Lo, al menos no por estos días.

Ahora, la canción no es del todo "porno". También canta cómo era su "destino" "encontrarse dos veces en una vida". Solo otro ejemplo de que ella y Ben están profundamente enamorados.

Los oyentes están encantados con la nueva canción. Algunos autoproclamados románticos empedernidos dijeron que se identificaban completamente con ella y que era su favorita del álbum, el primero en una década. Por eso ha sido tendencia en X gran parte del viernes.

Ben obviamente fue una inspiración importante para el nuevo álbum y también se involucró personalmente, prestando algunas voces de fondo para "Not Going Anywhere". Sí, está acreditado.

Después de que su famosa relación terminara a principios de la década de los 2000, J&B volvieron a estar juntos en 2021, con un montón de acogedores avistamientos entre ellos, incluyendo algunos nostálgicos viajes en yate, por supuesto. Afortunadamente, la cantante ha dejado claro que están mucho más seguros ahora de lo que estaban antes.

Tanto es así, que hizo un álbum en el que se aborda fuertemente su relación.

Una cosa es segura: está enamorada de su marido y, como hemos sabido, ¡él también!

J Lo está arrasando ahora mismo: su nuevo álbum no solo está siendo bien recibido por los fans, sino que su película también está siendo alabada. Pronto se estrenará otro documental "The Greatest Love Story Never Told", que llegará a Prime a su debido tiempo.

Zendaya y Tom Holland siguen siendo una pareja y lo demostraron esta semana cuando salieron de la mano del estreno de su película en Londres, aplastando todos los rumores de ruptura.

Tom estaba tomando firmemente la mano de Zendaya el jueves por la noche mientras salían del estreno de "Dune: Part Two" y dejaban atrás a los paparazzi y a los cazadores de autógrafos. Él tomó la iniciativa aquí, ayudándola a entrar en un carro que los estaba esperando y jugando sin duda un buen papel de novio.

Esta es la primera vez que Zendaya y Tom son vistos juntos en público desde que comenzaron los rumores de su ruptura incesante. Hasta ahora, habían estado un poco separados, incluso estando en la misma ciudad en el último tiempo.

Recuerden, los rumores comenzaron en diciembre cuando Z dejó de seguir a todo el mundo en IG, incluido Tom y sin ninguna explicación.

A principios de enero, Tom le dijo explícitamente a un fotógrafo que no habían terminado y hace un par de semanas redobló su defensa con algunos mensajes que alababan a Z en sus redes sociales. A pesar de eso, no los habíamos visto juntos en el mismo lugar hasta el gran momento de Zendaya en el estreno.

Ahora está más claro que el agua, la relación de Z y T va viento en popa y no hay problemas en el paraíso.

Históricamente, se han distinguido por ser bastante privados, así que este es un mensaje fuerte de su parte. Parece que Tom quería enviar un mensaje de una vez por todas.

Zendaya y Tom llevaban trajes negros a juego la noche del jueves y ella parecía mucho más cómoda de lo que estaba en el estreno.

Jennifer Lopez is letting us in on some very raunchy details about her marriage with Ben Affleck -- singing about their sex life in one of her new songs ... and yeah, it's raunchy.

Things get hot and heavy in the sultry new tune "Greatest Love Story Never Told" from her new album, "This Is Me… Now." Listen to these NSFW lyrics ... "Missing your body, Climbing on top of me, Slipping inside of me, Way that I ride it, Bodies aligning, Look at our timing."

Yeah, there's clearly no such thing as TMI when it comes to J Lo ... at least not these days.

The song isn't entirely X-rated though ... she also sings of how it was "destiny" they "found each other twice in one lifetime." Just another example that she and Ben are deeply in love.

Listeners were diggin' the emotionally charged tune ... some self-proclaimed hopeless romantics said they could totally relate to it, and that it was their favorite from her first album in a decade, which was trending heavily on X Friday.

While Ben obviously served as a major inspo on the new album, he also got involved personally -- lending some background vocals for "Not Going Anywhere." Yep, he's credited.

After their famous relationship ended in the early 2000s, J&B got back together in 2021, with plenty of cozy sightings, including some nostalgic yacht trips, of course -- and thankfully, the singer has made it clear they're much more secure now than they were previously.

So much so, in fact, that she made an album that heavily touches on their relationship.

One thing's for sure: she's into her hubby -- and, as we've learned, he's really into her too!

J Lo's killing it right now -- not only is her new album being well-received by fans, but this film of hers is being praised as well. There's a separate doc coming soon too ... "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," which is hitting Prime in due time.

Zendaya and Tom Holland are very much still a couple -- something they proved this week by holding hands after her big movie premiere in London ... squashing all the rumors.

Tom was firmly holding Zendaya's hand Thursday night as he led her away from the "Dune: Part Two" afterparty ... leaving paps and autograph hounds in the dust as he helped her into a waiting car. Indeed, he's taking the lead here ... and certainly playing the BF role.

This is the first time Zendaya and Tom have been spotted together in public since the incessant breakup rumors first started -- until now, they've kinda been apart ... even when they've been in the same city of late.

Remember, the rumblings began in December when Z unfollowed everyone on IG ... even purging Tom from her social media with no explanation.

Tom told a photog, explicitly, they were not dunzo earlier in January -- and a couple weeks ago, he doubled down with some social media posts doting on Z. But, we still hadn't seen them at the same place at the same time until Zendaya's big moment at the premiere.

Now it's clear as day, Z and TH are going strong ... and there's no trouble in paradise.

They're historically a pretty private couple too, so this is a strong message as far as these two are concerned. Seems like Tom wanted to send a message once and for all.

Zendaya and Tom were wearing matching black outfits Thursday night ... and Zendaya looked a helluva lot more comfortable than what she showed up to the premiere wearing.

Dakota Johnson's trying to avoid a sticky situation ... saying watching her movies could land her in an existential crisis -- which is why she says she hasn't seen her own new movie yet.

The actress made the stunning confession about "Madame Web" -- the superhero flick which she leads, and which is out in theaters now -- during an interview with Magic Radio ... admitting she's more likely to sneak out the back of the theater than stay for her own premiere, which she apparently did this week ahead of the official release of her flick.

It's a move she's clearly put to good use ... 'cause DJ says she still hasn't watched 'MW,' even now -- and it doesn't seem there are any plans to peep in the near future.

And, it's not just watching herself on the big screen that seems to be an issue for Johnson either ... 'cause she doesn't even seem interested in watching the flick at home -- adding she might watch the movie "someday" ... but sounding thoroughly disinterested.

Dakota says she's watched some of her movies, but admits she doesn't really like to view them -- saying she feels she could get hit with an existential crisis while watching one of her movies ... and comparing avoiding her films to "self-care."

It's not totally uncommon for stars not to watch their movies ... Constance Wu, Jesse Eisenberg, Helena Bonham Carter and Adam Driver are just a few of Hollywood's best and brightest who pass on watching their movies.

Gwyneth Paltrow's famous for giving interviews where she's basically admitted to having no idea what's happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ... despite appearing in seven Marvel films -- so it doesn't seem to be a requirement for giving great performances.

BTW ... it might be a good thing Johnson avoids watching her movies or googling herself -- 'cause 'Web' is getting absolutely blasted by both critics and audiences.

The movie -- following clairvoyant Cassandra Webb (Johnson) who tries to protect three women from a mysterious adversary -- has a 14% critics score and a 55% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes ... numbers well below the typical Marvel film.

Jennifer Lopez is baring her heart and soul in "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story," and it might just be enough to earn her a much-coveted Oscar ... at least according to one of her costars.

We caught up with Alix Angelis Wednesday in L.A. -- she plays "The Quiet One" in J Lo's musical film -- and while she's not sure the new project will qualify for an Academy Award, she's hoping it does for Jennifer's sake.

AA told us J Lo had to get very vulnerable for this role ... she explained how that vulnerability actually made her stronger in the role, and as a leader on set -- Jen co-wrote and executive produced it.

The film follows Jennifer's journey to finding true love, through her own eyes, and while she's described it as a culmination of her last 20 years -- Alix says she's confident this won't be the last such project for J Lo.

Of course, Ben Affleck also stars in the movie, which could've made for some uncomfortable moments -- there are plenty of scenes about past loves NOT named Ben -- but Alix says he was never upset and remained incredibly supportive of his wife throughout production.

As we reported, Jennifer says she and Ben are much more secure now than compared to their tumultuous relationship in the early 2000s -- so they're able to work through issues much more effectively.

Aquí está el sobrino de Michael Jackson -Jaafar Jackson- listo para retratar al Rey del Pop en el set de la próxima película biográfica de MJ y tenemos que decir que es la viva imagen de su difunto tío.

Jaafar estaba completamente peinado, maquillado y disfrazado el jueves en la zona de Encino de Los Ángeles, donde las cámaras estaban rodando "Michael" ... la primera película oficial que aborda la vida de MJ en la gran pantalla.

Jafaar es el hijo de Jermaine Jackson, y se parece inquietantemente a su famoso pariente aquí.

Lionsgate, el estudio detrás de la próxima película biográfica, dejó caer el primer vistazo de Jackson como MJ a principios de esta semana; una foto que reproduce el tour de "Dangerous" de 1992-1993. En esa foto promocional, se puede ver a Jaafar canalizando seriamente a MJ, pasando como un doble del artista.

Ahora, estamos recibiendo una visión ligeramente diferente de Jaafar como Michael, esta vez se ve un poco más formal con una camisa blanca de botones y una corbata y realmente llama la atención.

Nia Long se unió a Jaafar en el set jueves, recuerde que ella está interpretando a la madre de Michael, Katherine Jackson y también está totalmente transformada y bastante irreconocible.

Al igual que Jaafar, Nia también es una doble de su personaje, no muy diferente a lo que vimos la semana pasada, cuando Colman Domingo (interpretando a Joe Jackson) y otros actores estaban retratando a los Jackson 5 más jóvenes. Todos ellos estaban totalmente inmersos en sus papeles y se veían muy bien.

Por supuesto, Jaafar es la estrella, y por lo que parece se ha transformado en Michael Jackson.

La esperada película biográfica no llegará a los cines hasta abril de 2025 y todo lo que hemos visto hasta ahora parece estar dando en el blanco, al menos visualmente.

Here's Michael Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson all set to portray the King of Pop on the set of the upcoming MJ biopic -- and we gotta say, he's the spitting image of his late uncle.

Jaafar was in full hair, makeup and costume Thursday on location in the Encino area of Los Angeles, where cameras were rolling for "Michael" ... the first official film to tackle the MJ's life on the big screen.

JJ is Jermaine Jackson's son, BTW, and he looks eerily similar to his famous relative here.

Lionsgate, the studio behind the upcoming biopic, dropped the first look at Jackson as MJ earlier this week ... a photo replicating Michael's 1992-1993 Dangerous Tour. In that promo pic, too, Jaafar was seriously channeling MJ ... passing as a dead ringer for the entertainer.

Now, we're getting a slightly different view of Jaafar as Michael ... this time, he's a bit more formal with a white button-down shirt and a tie -- and we can really see how he looks.

Nia Long joined Jaafar on set here on Thursday ... remember, she's playing Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson. She's also fully transformed -- and pretty unrecognizable.

Like Jaafar, Nia's also a doppelganger for her character ... not very different than what we saw last week when she, Colman Domingo (playing Joe Jackson) and other actors portraying the younger Jackson 5. All of them were fully immersed in their roles, and looked great.

Jaafar, of course, is the star ... and from the looks of it, he has become Michael Jackson.

The highly-anticipated biopic won't hit theaters until April 2025 ... and everything we've seen so far seems to be hitting the mark, at least visually.

Zendaya left her mark at Wednesday's world premiere of "Dune: Part Two" in London ... stealing the show in a vintage robot suit.

The premiere snaps of the actress are pretty wild ... she's absolutely rockin' the metallic Thierry Mugler Fall '95 haute couture look, with exaggerated shoulders and sheer-illusion cut-outs on her chest, stomach, and bottom. Talk about a cutting-edge vibe, huh?!?

There was no one else who had quite the flair the Zendaya brought with her futuristic look ... even posing like a robot on the red carpet at one point. However, all her stiff-looking angles may have just boiled down to how restrictive her suit was ... could be one or the other.

Zendaya's entrusted stylist, Law Roach -- the mastermind behind the archival look -- who was also at the premiere. Needless to say, it was quite the style moment ... despite some fans likening her look to "Wizard Of Oz"'s Tin Man. Either way, she's got a lot of heart!

Truth be told, Zendaya may have hogged the spotlight a bit ... but if you were to look elsewhere, other stars of the movie also brought an endless cycle of fashion in front of cameras ... and looked just as good.

Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy opted for similar head-covering looks -- the Brit in a plunging black number and Anya in angelic white.

Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler, meanwhile, also made fashion statements on the red carpet ahead of their movie release on March 1 ... looking sharp and stud-ly.

Zendaya dejó su huella en el estreno mundial de "Dune: Part Two" este miércoles en Londres, robándose todas las miradas del show con un traje vintage de robot.

Las fotos de la actriz son bastante impresionantes. Ella está brillando absolutamente en este traje metálico de alta costura de Thierry Mugler, del otoño del 95, con unos hombros exagerados y una ilusión de cortes en el pecho, el estómago y la parte inferior.

Hablando de vanguardia, ¿eh?

No hubo nadie que tuviera tanto estilo como Zendaya con su look futurista, quien incluso posó como un robot en la alfombra roja en un momento dado. Aunque esto se puede haber debido a lo restrictivo que era su traje, podría haber sido una cosa o la otra.

El estilista de Zendaya, Law Roach -el cerebro detrás de este icónico look- también estuvo en el estreno. No hace falta decir que fue todo un momento de estilo, a pesar de que algunos fans compararon su look con el del Hombre de Hojalata de "El Mago de Oz". En cualquier caso, ¡tiene mucho corazón!

La verdad sea dicha, Zendaya puede haber acaparado el centro de atención, pero si miran hacia su alrededor encontrarán otras estrellas de la película, quienes también trajeron un derroche de estilo delante de las cámaras y se veían igual de bien.

Florence Pugh y Anya Taylor-Joy optaron por looks similares: la británica con un escotado vestido negro y Anya de blanco angelical.

Timothée Chalamet y Austin Butler, por su parte, también hicieron declaraciones de moda en la alfombra roja luciendo súper elegantes antes del estreno de su película el 1 de marzo.

Jennifer López dice que ella y Ben Affleck no terminaron el día que pospusieron su boda en 2003, sino que se separaron un tiempo después, como consescuencia de ello.

La cantante y compositora habló con Zane Lowe para una entrevista de Apple Music y reveló que la pareja podría haber optado por romper cuando decidieron cancelar su boda, pero se quedaron juntos un tiempo más para intentar seguir siendo una pareja.

JL dijo que el retraso de la boda provocó dudas en ella y Ben Affleck sobre su relación y hacia "dónde iba" y, a pesar de que sabía que quería estar con él para siempre, sintió que su matrimonio no iba a hacer que eso funcionara.

López explicó que no eran lo suficientemente "maduros" para que su relación tuviera éxito a pesar de sus repetidos intentos y agregó que tenían la impresión de que la gente se separaba cuando "las cosas se ponían difíciles", por lo que tomaron diferentes caminos.

Menos mal, porque Lopez dice que ambos necesitaban encontrar el amor y formar una familia con otras personas antes de que pudieran trabajar realmente en ser una pareja.

Recuerden, después de que "Bennifer" terminaran y antes de que se reconciliaran nuevamente, López se casó con el cantante Marc Anthony y tuvo dos hijos, y Affleck se enganchó con su coprotagonista de "Daredevil" Jennifer Garner y tuvieron 3 hijos.

López dijo que ella y Ben se sentían más seguros como personas cuando volvieron a estar juntos y esta vez la relación parece permanente, pues se casaron en 2022.
