HRC to Honor Jennifer with Ally for Equality Award

Jennifer will receive the 2013 Ally for Equality Award at HRC’s sold-out National Dinner on Saturday, October 5 in Washington, DC.

“Jennifer Lopez embodies the spirit of an ally to the LGBT community and we are thrilled to present her the Ally for Equality at our National Dinner in October,” said HRC president Chad Griffin. “We recognize Jennifer for her talent, style, compassion, philanthropy and generosity, but foremost for her public commitment to LGBT equality.”

The Ally for Equality Award recognizes the outstanding efforts of those who dedicate time, energy, spirit and whole-hearted commitment to better the lives of LGBT people. This award is given to allies outside the LGBT community who stand up on behalf of equality for all Americans.

Jennifer’s latest LGBT related project is ABC Family’s TV series ‘The Fosters’ where she serves as an executive producer. The show is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. ABC picked it up for a second season.

Music Update

Right before his performance at the iHeartRadio Festival, Chris Brown gave a little interview. The interviewer asked him about hitting the studio with Jennifer. Chris revealed that he wrote two songs for JLo’s upcoming album called ‘Same Girl’ and ‘Emotions’. You can watch the interview below:

A few days ago producer Steve Mostyn tweeted the following:

We can’t wait to hear all the new music Jenn has been prepping in the studio for us the last few months, which seems to be turning out amazing!

Jennifer backs out of ‘The 33’ movie

Jennifer has just dropped out of ‘The 33’ movie. The reason is reported to be a scheduling problem that occured when she decided to join American Idol again.
The movie is about the survival struggle of 33 miners trapped far below the earth after a cave-in in Copiapo, Chile in 2010. Antonio Banderas and Martin Sheen will star in the movie.

Lopez is still set to star in Jason Blum’s thriller ‘The Boy Next Door’, directed by Rob Cohen. The movie is due to shoot this fall.
