UNSTOPPABLE Premieres at TIFF!

Jennifer Lopez attended the premiere of her new movie, Unstoppable, at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday. Unstoppable is the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion.

The movie and cast are getting strong reviews so far! Here’s a sample:

Judy, played by Lopez in what may be the fullest screen performance she has ever given. […] Lopez makes Judy a mother who loves her aspiring athlete-star son but is cornered, plowed under by life. Lopez makes you feel the wrung-out despair, as well as the will she summons, as an act of love, to overcome it. – Variety

Lopez is the other standout, not often given the credit she deserves and here giving her all right from the wry opening scenes,, where we see the love and pride this mother has for her son. She’s terrific. – Deadline

Lopez sinks into the character here with a layered performance as Judy, full of pain, pride, bitter disappointment in herself and then unexpected resilience and resourcefulness […] Lopez gives a tender and entirely convincing performance as a mother whose unshakeable belief in her son is a crucial part of his foundations. – The Hollywood Reporter

The film will be released in select US & UK theaters in December and on Prime Video at a later date.

JLo Covers Variety

Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of the latest issue of Variety! The issue features a brand new photos shoot as well as an in-depth conversation with Jennifer about ‘This Is Me…Now’ and ‘This Is Me…Now: A Love Story’.

Lopez called her longtime producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, in the middle of the night, telling her that she was kicking in $20 million of her own money to the project. (After it was completed, Amazon bought it for an undisclosed amount.) A potential partner had pulled out, she’d said, because they didn’t understand the thing.

“I’m in New York,” Goldsmith-Thomas tells me, “and she’s saying, ‘I think I’m going to finance this myself.’ I was like, ‘Wait, what?’ I don’t even know what it is. What are you doing?’ I was worried. ‘Why are you sharing your story? It’s too personal. Stop it.’ It made me uncomfortable for her.”

JLo Announces ‘This Is Me…Now’

 

Huge news! Jennifer Lopez has announced the release date of her long anticipated ‘musical experience’, This Is Me… Now! The album and an accompanying film, This Is Me… Now: The Film, will be released February 16, 2024!

The album, written and executive produced by Jennifer and Rogét Chayed, along with Angel Lopez, Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman, HitBoy, Tay Keith and INK among others, effortlessly blends R&B, contemporary pop sounds and hip-hop beats. It will be Jennifer’s most honest and personal album to date.

This Is Me… Now: The Film, is a narrative-driven intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly entertaining musical and visual reimagining of Lopez’s publicly scrutinized love life. It was directed by Dave Meyers, who also directed a number of Jennifer’s music videos. The pair created a “an extravagant visual and sonic feast with impressive choreography, star studded cameos, costumes, sets and blockbuster-worthy visuals. A heartfelt ode to Lopez’s journey of self-healing and her everlasting belief in fairytale endings, the film promises to captivate audiences and leave them feeling hopeful.”

Amazon MGM Studios has acquired and will release Nuyorican Productions’ This Is Me…Now: The Film on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Nuyorican/BMG will distribute the highly anticipated This Is Me…Now: The Album. ‘Can’t Get Enough’, the first single from This Is Me…Now: The Album, will be released on January 10, 2024 via Nuyorican/BMG.

Jennifer Lopez Announces Delola Spritzes & Cocktails

Jennifer Lopez has announced the creation of THE HOUSE OF DELOLA LLC, a company she founded to launch unique, mixology-level ready-to-enjoy cocktails designed for elegant, effortless entertaining as part of a thoughtful lifestyle. For Jennifer, when it’s time to unwind with her friends, it’s time for Lola, a longtime nickname that reflects her more playful, carefree side. One of her favorite places to unwind is the Italian coast, where she discovered spritzes and was inspired to develop her own refreshing and flavorful spritzes without all the sugars traditional spritzes can contain. Delola is something she can enjoy when unwinding and entertaining friends while still being true to her thoughtful lifestyle. Jennifer had this to say in a press release:

“I love entertaining and to relax and unwind with friends, but never found a drink that was right for me. I was in search of something that I could enjoy that fit the thoughtful way that I live my life. When I didn’t find it, I decided to create Delola. My goals were better ingredients, better taste, fewer calories than traditional cocktails, and one simple pour. Something easy, fun, fresh and delicious. I knew that if I was looking, others were too. Delola gives people the freedom to enjoy – free from the cutting, squeezing, and mixing, free from the stress of entertaining, free to make ordinary moments extraordinary. Each one is bottled up in a beautiful glass bottle and ready to serve. Just pour over ice and enjoy. I started this journey two years ago and I’m so excited to finally share Delola with the world.”

“DELOLA SPRITZ” is available in three original cocktails:

BELLA BERRY SPRITZ made with berry, hibiscus and premium vodka; a full-bodied cocktail with notes of red berries, hibiscus and citrus.
PALOMA ROSA SPRITZ made with grapefruit, elderflower and premium tequila; an elevated Paloma with notes of ripe, luscious grapefruit, rich elderflower and a dash of salt.
L’ORANGE SPRITZ made with orange, passionfruit and premium amaro; an ode to the Italian spritzes with notes of bright, delicious fruit perfectly balanced with the bitterness of amaro.

Delola will be available in 750ml ($22.99) and 375ml ($11.99) premium embossed glass bottles and will be sold in fine grocery and spirits establishments, restaurants, and bars beginning in April with a continued roll out throughout spring. The company will launch in the United States and expand globally in the years to come.

Jennifer began developing Delola in 2020 in collaboration with drinks industry veterans, Ken Austin and Jenna Fagnan and her manager and business partner Benny Medina. Jennifer brought in globally renowned mixologist Lynnette Marrero to collaborate on these unique cocktails. Jennifer and the Delola team are also working to develop a scholarship program that will contribute money towards higher education for women who might not otherwise be able to receive that education.
