ABC Family Orders ‘The Fosters’, Exec-Produced By Jen

ABC Family has ordered a new show executive-produced by Jennifer Lopez to series!

The show, called The Fosters, is a one-hour drama revolving around a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms Stef (played by Teri Polo) and Lena (played by Sherri Saum).  Stef and Lena Foster are a mixed-race lesbian couple who are parents to a biological son as well as several adopted children. When Lena decides to take in Callie, a troubled teen with an abusive past, the girl’s disruptive ways threaten to turn the Fosters’ lives upside down.

The show will begin filming this Spring and is set to air this Summer.

Maybe Jennifer will guest star? That would be fun to see!

JLo Performs in Japan!

Jennifer Lopez made her way to Osaka, Japan on Saturday for a special performance of the Dance Again World Tour. The tour did not stop in Japan, so I’m sure it was a treat for the 30,000+ people in the audience! This was a special show for Amway distributors.

You can check out videos and a few photos Jennifer and Beau tweeted after the jump!

JLo Dancer Gilbert Saldivar in Miami

BBer JenniferLopez04 aka Yoan Mena had the opportunity to attend a class by one of Jennifer’s dancers, and captain of the Dance Again World Tour JLo Dancers,  Gilbert Saldivar in Miami recently! While there, he recorded the video above. Here’s his recap of the experience:

Meeting up with with Gilbert was a really cool experience. When I first walked into the studio, I was a little nervous and felt kinda out of place because everyone around me was a professional dancer and I am not, but I felt like I needed to be there no matter what. Anyway, right when he was about to start class I introduced myself and he thought I was one of Jose Omar’s (another JLO dancer) best friends but then I told him that we first met in Puerto Rico. He remembered that I was a JLo fan and we did a book for Jenn with a JLo Dancers section in it. He was really nice and so cool with all the others. He explained a short routine to the other dancers using Pitbull’s “Dont Stop the Party”. The class was about 2-3 hours long with four 30 second breaks. The Focal Point staff were really generous letting me enjoy the class for free and to take video footage. He will be back in Miami this month and I hope to see him again.
