La nueva película de Jennifer López "This Is Me ... Now" tiene a grandes estrellas entre sus invitados, pero podría haber sido totalmente distinto si otros peces gordos hubiesen aceptado.

La estrella contó varios detalles del casting en su nuevo documental de Prime Video, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told". Dice que ella y su equipo primero contactaron a grandes estrellas como Taylor Swift y Ariana Grande. Pero Tay estaba ocupada con su gira "Eras" y Ariana Grande estaba rodando "Wicked" en Londres.

Eso no fue todo, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Lizzo, Vanessa Hudgens e incluso Snoop Dogg pasaron porque no estaban disponibles.

Además, se suponía que Khloé Kardashian iba a hacer un cameo, pero se retiró a último momento, algo que J Lo atribuyó a su temor a mostrarse.

SZA, Bad Bunny y Anthony Ramos fueron otras estrellas de la lista A que decidieron pasar. ¡Imagina cómo habría sido si todos ellos hubiesen firmado!

Sin embargo, J Lo es muy realista y durante una sincera charla con su manager Benny Medina reconoció que nadie quería rechazarla, pero como alguien que ya lleva mucho tiempo en el negocio, sabe que la gente pasa de un proyecto si no cree que el guion está a la altura. Así es el juego y J Lo lo entiende.

Pero ella no dejó que esos rechazos la deprimieran. Se recuperó a lo grande y reunió a un equipo estelar que incluye a Sofia Vergara, Jane Fonda y Trevor Noah.

Jennifer Lopez's new flick "This Is Me ... Now" is buzzin' with some major guest stars ... but it could've been a whole different ball game -- that's if some other big shots hadn't passed on it.

The star spilled the tea on the casting journey in her newly dropped Prime Video doc, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told" ... where she and her crew first reached out to big shots like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. But, Tay was busy with her "Eras" tour, and AG was filming "Wicked" over in London. Bummer!

That wasn't all ... Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Lizzo, Vanessa Hudgens and even Snoop Dogg all passed 'cause they were unavailable.

And get this, Khloé Kardashian was supposed to pop in for a cameo, but she pulled out at the eleventh hour -- something J Lo chalked up to the reality star being scared to put herself out there.

SZA, Bad Bunny, and Anthony Ramos rounded out the list of A-listers who also passed. Imagine the star power if they'd all signed on!

But, J Lo's all about keeping it real ... and during a candid chat with her manager Benny Medina she acknowledged that no one wanted to turn her down ... but as someone who's been in the biz for a long time, she knows that people will pass on a project if they don't think the script is up to par. It's just how the game goes, and J Lo gets it.

But, J Lo didn't let those rejections get her down ... she bounced back big time by rounding up a stellar crew including Sofia Vergara, Jane Fonda and Trevor Noah.

Princess Love put the final nail in the coffin containing her marriage with Ray J by abruptly filing for divorce on Monday ... or did she?

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Princess out in Bev. Hills shortly after she publicly told the world she and Ray were splitting for the fourth time.

Princess tells us she's still on the up after the latest divorce filing but she wouldn't exactly spill on what prompted her to sign the paperwork.

Their "Love & Hip Hop" fanbase was extremely skeptical of the news and suspected foolishness afoot ... in the form of a classic PR stunt.

Princess had no comment for her critics ... which will likely fuel their suspicion even more, but of course, she has no control over that.

Sean Evans no tiene ninguna razón para ser tímido acerca de su virilidad, esto de acuerdo a su ex novia, que resulta, es la estrella porno; Melissa Stratton.

Melissa, que empezó a salir con el presentador de "Hot Ones" el otoño pasado antes de su rápida separación el Día de San Valentín, dio una visión sincera de su romance relámpago mientras aparecía en el pódcast "No Jumper" esta semana.

Melissa se mantuvo en silencio cuando le preguntaron acerca del "tamaño de Sean"... ella se aseguró de hacer hincapié en que había una buena razón por la que le gustaba pasar tiempo con él.

La estrella de cine para adultos llegó a dar crédito a sus signos del zodiaco -ella es Virgo y él es Tauro- según ella, esto significa que son el uno para el otro. Es por eso que su abrupto final fue un fastidio para ella, algo que nos enfatizó la semana pasada durante una entrevista.

Sobre la cuestión de cómo se conocieron... Melissa también se explaya. Nos dice que Sean le envió un mensaje en noviembre, el cual era una broma que resulto funcionar.

Pasaron a reunirse en persona a finales de 2023, pasando a llevar su romance a Los Ángeles y Chicago. El dúo hizo pública su relación en el Super Bowl de este año en Las Vegas, pero Sean terminó las cosas días más tarde.

Como hemos informado, Melissa dijo que sentía que su profesión como estrella porno fue la razón Sean terminó las cosas, a pesar de que insiste en que estaba bien con él desde el principio.

De todos modos, durante su reciente relación con Adán, Melissa compartió que Sean pidió que las cosas ean disretas, añadiendo que no han hablado desde entonces. En cuanto a Seaa, Melissa le aseguró a los fans que Sean es un buen tipo y no hay resentimientos.

Sean Evans has no reason to be shy about his manhood ... this according to his porn star ex, Melissa Stratton.

Melissa -- who started dating the 'Hot Ones' host last fall before their quick split on Valentine's Day -- gave some candid insight into their whirlwind romance while appearing on the "No Jumper" podcast this week.

Melissa stayed tight-lipped when asked about Sean's, erm, size ... but she did make sure to emphasize -- there was a reason why she liked spending time with him!

The adult film star went on to credit their star signs -- she's a Virgo and he's a Taurus -- for their connection ... calling the pairing a total match. That's why their abrupt ending was such a bummer for her ... something she emphasized to us last week during an interview.

On the issue of how they first met ... Melissa gets into that too. She says Sean slid into her DMs in November -- shooting his shot with a bald head joke.

They went on to meet in person at the end of 2023 ... going on to bring their romance to L.A. and Chicago. The duo went public with their relationship at this year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas ... but Sean ended things days later when the cat was outta the bag.

As we reported ... Melissa said she felt her profession as a porn star was the reason Sean ended things -- even though she insists he was cool with it from the get-go.

Anyway, during her recent sit-down with Adam -- Melissa shared Sean called it quits over a brief and final conv ... adding that they haven't spoken since. As for Sean's V-Day dumping, Melissa assured fans that Sean is, in fact, a good guy ... and there's no hard feelings.

Ray J and Princess Love are on the outs again -- and she's ready to throw in the towel in court ... filing to end their marriage, marking the 4th time they've been down this road.

The 'L&HH' star filed for divorce Monday in L.A. County -- and while the details of what she wants out of it are unclear at this point ... the fact she's calling it quits isn't. The only thing we know for certain is she notes there are minor children involved, and money's gotta be hashed out.

Worth noting ... she's the petitioner this time, and Ray's the respondent -- on their third divorce attempt, RJ was the one who filed ... and that was back in 2021. He also initiated their second divorce filing in late 2020 ... and she kicked it off initially in Spring '20.

So, they've kinda been going back and forth over who files ... this time, it's her doing it.

PL posted a lengthy statement on IG addressing the news, writing ... "It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce. After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways."

She goes on to say they're doing this with both of their well-being in mind, and that they're committed to being great co-parents to their two kids, a young daughter and son they share.

Princess Love asks for privacy over their divorce, finishing by saying ... "Though this chapter of our lives may be closing, we look forward to embracing the opportunities for growth, healing, and new beginnings that lie ahead. We are confident that with time, understanding, and the support of our loved ones, we will navigate this transition with grace and resilience."

Jessica Vestal y Johnny McIntyre de "Love Is Blind" se unieron en la vida real en el aeropuerto, lo que es muy curioso, ya que nunca se cruzaron en el programa.

Échale un vistazo a este video obtenido por TMZ que muestra a las dos estrellas de Netflix -que no interactúan en la serie de realidad- caminando a través de una terminal en LAX el domingo por la mañana, donde estaban hombro con hombro.

Esto ha hecho que muchos se pregunten qué es lo que se traen entre manos, ya que no hay evidencia directa de que sean pareja o algo parecido

La ausencia notable aquí es la prometida de Johnny, Amy Cortés, a quien seleccionó en el programa y que han pasado a ser una pareja muy popular.

Para aquellos que no han sintonizado todavía, Johnny se rodilló frente a Amy a pesar de nunca haberla visto en persona (lo cual es todo el concepto de la serie). De hecho, han surgido como la pareja más fuerte de la temporada, duchándose juntos y todo.

Su único contratiempo fue un desacuerdo sobre el control de la natalidad, ya que Johnny no está listo para ser padre.

Jessica, por otro lado, no tuvo tanta suerte como Johnny. Se sabe que abandonó el experimento después de que su pretendiente, Jimmy Presnell, decidiera seguir a Chelsea Blackwell (la chica de Megan Fox). Recordemos que él enloqueció después de enterarse de que Jessica era una madre soltera y que técnicamente fue expulsada de la serie después de eso.

Por supuesto, se han burlado de su regreso estos últimos episodios.

Lamentablemente, el  final de la temporada 6 de "Love Is Blind" no se estrenará hasta el 6 de marzo, por lo que tendremos que esperar y ver si Johnny y Amy llegan al altar. De hecho, una actualización de Jessica ni siquiera podría venir hasta la reunión, que no estará aquí hasta el 13 de marzo.

Jessica Vestal and Johnny McIntyre from 'Love Is Blind' linked up in real life at the airport ... which may prove to be a big twist, 'cause they never really crossed paths on the show.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, that shows the two Netflix stars -- who did not interact on the reality series from what we know, whether in the pods or outside of them -- walking through a terminal at LAX Sunday morning ... where they were shoulder to shoulder.

While them popping up at LAX together might raise eyebrows among some -- there's no direct evidence here that they're actually a couple or romantically involved ... aka, no PDA.

The noticeable absence here, of course, is Johnny's fiancée, Amy Cortés, whom he selected in the pods ... and who have gone on to be a fan-fave couple so far in the show.

For those who haven't tuned in yet ... Johnny got on bended knee for Amy, despite never seeing her in person ... which is the whole concept of the show. They've actually emerged as the season's strongest couple, routinely showering each other with love and PDA.

Their only hiccup ... a disagreement over birth control, since Johnny is not ready to be a dad.

Jessica, on the other hand, wasn't as lucky as Johnny in the pods. She famously exited the experiment after her would-be boo, Jimmy Presnell, decided to pursue Chelsea Blackwell instead (the Megan Fox girl). Remember, he notably freaked out after learning Jessica was a single mom ... and she was technically bounced off the show after that.

Of course, they've been teasing her return these past few episodes.

Sadly, the "Love Is Blind" season 6 finale doesn't drop until March 6 -- so we'll have to wait and see if Johnny and Amy actually make it to the wedding altar. In fact ... an update for Jessica might not even come until the reunion drops, which won't be here until March 13.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Travis Kelce podría haber estado sin Taylor Swift este fin de semana mientras celebraba con sus compañeros de equipo en Las Vegas (de nuevo), pero claramente la tenía en su mente...

Videos de la estrella de la NFL cantando "Love Story" en el XS Nightclub de Las Vegas están circulando por redes sociales, y teniendo en cuenta su entusiasmo por un clásico de Taylor, podemos afirmar que la echaban de menos.

Estos clips capturan solo un momento de la noche de Travis. Él no solo cantó canciones de Taylor, también gozó un montón de otras melodías de diversos estilos.

Ha habido algo de crítica swiftie, ya que Travis se rodeó de un montón de mujeres atractivas durante su noche en Las Vegas, pero Tay Tay parece ser la que ocupa su mente.

En cuanto al resto de la celebración, bueno, ya lo cubrimos bastante bien. Estuvo disfrutando junto a Patrick Mahomes y casi todos los demás jugadores de los Chiefs que ayudaron al equipo a ganar el Super Bowl hace unas semanas.

Travis estuvo en Sydney por un par de días con Taylor antes de volar de regreso a Las Vegas para la victoria con los chicos, y luego se fue de fiesta.

Taylor, mientras tanto, estaba ocupada terminando el resto de su estancia en Australia y pronto va a volar a Singapur para más espectáculos. No está claro si Travis está en los planes o no.

Travis Kelce might've been without Taylor Swift this weekend while raging with his teammates in Las Vegas (again) -- but he certainly had her on his mind ... take a look.

Videos of the NFL star belting out "Love Story" at XS Nightclub at the Wynn Las Vegas are circulating all over social media -- and considering his enthusiasm over a T-Swift classic, it's safe to say she was sorely missed for the good time he and the Chiefs were having here.

These clips capture just a snapshot of Travis' rager ... and he wasn't just singing Taylor tracks -- dude was out there screaming his lungs out to a ton of other tunes, celebratory and otherwise.

There's been a little criticism that TK surrounded himself with a bunch of hot women during his night out in Vegas with the boys -- but clearly ... Tay Tay is front and center in his heart.

As for the rest of the celebration ... well, we covered it pretty well already. He was enjoying himself next to Patrick Mahomes and just about every other Chiefs player who helped the team win the Super Bowl a few weeks ago ... with everyone coming back for round 2.

Travis was only in Sydney for a couple days with Taylor before he hightailed it out of there and flew back to Vegas for yet another victory lap with the guys ... and they partied hard.

Taylor, meanwhile, was busy finishing out the rest of her Australia stint -- and soon, she'll be flying off to Singapore for more shows. Unclear if Travis is tagging along for that or not.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a secret sauce that makes their relationship work in ways their prior relationships didn't, and that becomes evident in Monday night's FOX primetime special, "TMZ Investigates: Taylor and Travis, Ultimate Love Story."

Dr. Phil, Mark Cuban, Skip Bayless, Patti Stanger, Heather McDonald and others have a clear take on T&T ... the relationship works because they are successful in fields that are radically different.

Think about it ... Taylor's past relationships include Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Alwyn, Harry Styles and others. See any common threads? Yep, they're all in Taylor's lane -- entertainment. It's impossible to match Taylor's success, and that inevitably gives way to conflict, jealousy, competitiveness, and on and on.

Travis breaks the mold. He's not only in a different field ... he's top of the heap. He's not competing with Taylor or comparing her success with his. He's conquered his profession and is comfortable and, as Skip Bayless puts it ... they can relate to each other on a star level.

As Dr. Phil says ... not only are they NOT jealous of each other's success, each actually celebrates the success of the other. They are each other's cheerleader.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce tienen un secreto que hace que su relación funcione de manera que sus relaciones anteriores no lo hicieron, y de la que se va a profundizar la noche del lunes en el especial de FOX "TMZ Investiga: Taylor and Travis, Ultimate Love Story".

Dr. Phil, Mark Cuban, Skip Bayless, Patti Stanger, Heather McDonald y otros tienen una opinión clara sobre por qué T & T funciona tan bien, y es simplemente porque tienen éxito en campos que son radicalmente diferentes.

Piensalo bien... Las relaciones pasadas de Taylor incluyen a Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Alwyn, Harry Styles y otros. ¿Ves algo en común? Sí, todos están en el carril de Taylor: el entretenimiento. Es imposible igualar el éxito de Taylor, y eso inevitablemente da paso a conflictos, celos, competitividad, y un largo etcétera.

Travis rompe el molde. No solo está en un campo diferente... además está en lo más alto. No compite con Taylor ni compara su éxito con el suyo. Ha conquistado su profesión y se siente cómodo y, como dice Skip Bayless, pueden relacionarse entre sí en un nivel de estrella.

Como dice el Dr. Phil, no solo NO están celosos del éxito del otro, además se celebran sus logros.

Britney Spears is showing some love to the great Janet Jackson on Instagram ... while her feud with Justin Timberlake rages on.

The singer-songwriter wrote a loving tribute to JJ in a since deleted Instagram post, thanking Janet for breathing continued life into her dreams while saying she's always looked up to her.

She wrote the emotional message on a screengrab of Jackson' self-titled album, "Janet" released back in 1993.

While it might have just been an innocuous tribute post to another music legend, Britney's got some common ground with Janet ... in that Justin Timberlake won't apologize to either of them.

Remember ... during a show in New York City at the end of last month, Justin told the crowd he was going to apologize to "absolutely f***ing nobody" before singing "Cry Me A River" -- a clear dig at Brit, but Janet fans assumed that meant her as well.

Justin and Janet will be forever linked for their fateful 2004 Super Bowl Halftime show where Justin ripped Jackson's costume revealing one of her breasts to the crowd -- something he chalked up to an accident at the time.

However, he apologized to both Britney and Janet back in 2021 ... after the documentary "Framing Britney Spears" aired on Hulu, saying he had inadvertently benefited from misogynistic institutions and felt he needed to say sorry for that.

Of course, Britney and Justin have been on especially bad terms after the fake-out apology ... with Spears basically calling Timberlake a crybaby in a basketball-related post.

Maybe Britney's trying to collect allies in her war with JT ... or maybe she's just sending love to a fellow artist.

Either way, Britney's post certainly got fans' eyebrows raised.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the epitome of the ultimate modern-day fairytale ... but they aren't immune to challenges -- starting with insane schedules.

We're diving deep into a solid relationship that could hit speed bumps in "TMZ Investigates: Taylor & Travis: Ultimate Love Story," airing Monday on FOX at 9/8c on Fox.

Dr Phil kicks it off ... telling us the biggest threat to the pop idol and the NFL star is their jam-packed schedules ... not allowing them to spend enough quality time together.

'Millionaire Matchmaker' star Patti Stanger adds their long-distance romance is a challenge. She says the little things couples do together will be few and far between, with Taylor touring the world and Travis with his own peripatetic career.

There's also the obvious lack of privacy, which is often a major reason for Hollywood couples calling it quits. Taylor's been in the spotlight since forever, so she's kinda used to it. But Travis Kelce? He's already experienced the shocking lack of privacy since he began dating her.

"Shark Tank" star Mark Cuban raises the privacy point ... saying privacy for them is truly out the window.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce son la personificación del último cuento de hadas de por estos días, pero no son inmunes a los desafíos, partiendo por sus increíbles agendas.

En "TMZ Investigates: Taylor & Travis: Ultimate Love Story," que se estrena el lunes en FOX a las 9/8c en Fox, nos sumergimos profundamente en esta sólida relación que podría enfrentar algunos baches en el camino.

El Dr. Phil comienza diciendo que la mayor amenaza para el ídolo del pop y la estrella de la NFL es su apretada agenda, que no les permite pasar suficiente tiempo de calidad juntos.

La estrella de "Millionaire Matchmaker" Patti Stanger añade que su romance a distancia es un reto. Dice que las pequeñas cosas que harán juntos serán pocas y distantes entre sí, con Taylor de gira por el mundo y Travis con su propia carrera.

También está la evidente falta de privacidad, que suele ser una de las principales razones por la que las parejas de Hollywood terminan. Taylor ha estado en el punto de mira desde siempre, así que está un poco acostumbrada. ¿Pero Travis Kelce? Él ya ha experimentado la escandalosa falta de privacidad desde que empezó a salir con ella.

La estrella de "Shark Tank" Mark Cuban apela al punto de la privacidad y dice que la privacidad para ellos realmente ha desaparecido.
