Even at the big age of 54-years-old, Jennifer Lopez still gives many of these young women a run for their money when it comes to physical fitness. And recently the Bronx natove demonstrated how she does it.

On Sunday, March 24, the “Waiting For Tonight” singer took to Instagram to show her followers the workout regiment she uses to keep herself in amazing shape. It seems simple enough even for beginners to follow. Utilizing some light dumbbells in her routine, J.Lo shows us how she uses lunges, shoulder presses and squats to keep herself in tip-top shape while in the comfort of her own backyard.

She must be getting ready to promote her next film, ATLAS. In the trailer you can see her flaunting her toned physique, too. While the workout video was cool, we need to know what her diet consists of, too. We doubt she’s keeping herself in that kind of shape while still munching on the OG Puerto Rican diet of arroz con pollo on the regular. Just sayin’.
Regardless though, y’all know Ben Affleck must be a happy man.
What do y’all think of J.Lo’s workout? Would y’all go harder or is this just right? Let us know in the comments section below.

It feels like it’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen Hollywood superstar Jennifer Lopez star in a feature film. But it seems like the Puerto Rican legend is ready to remind everyone she’s still that chick in Netflix’s latest sci-fi adventure.

On Wednesday (March 13), Netflix released their first teaser trailer to the Bred Peyton-directed ATLAS, which stars Jennifer Lopez as Atlas Shepherd, who finds herself in the middle of a war between humanity and AI powered machines. While one would think this is basically another installment of Terminator, ATLAS centers around Shepherd’s relationship with a rogue robot who are tasked with saving earth from the takeover of the machines.
Wait, this isn’t Terminator?!

Also featuring the likes of Sterling K. Brown and Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), the trailer finds Lopez barely escaping death while in her robotic machine as the war wages on in the skies as she struggles to stick the landing.
We lowkey hope Ben Affleck pops out with a DunKing tracksuit at some point. Just sayin’.
Check out the trailer for ATLAS below, and let us know if you’ll be checking for it when it premiers on Netflix this Memorial Day.

It is clear Jennifer Lopez is still tapped into the streets. She had Redman join her during her Saturday Night Live set.

As spotted on GQ Magazine Newark and the South Bronx have come together for a memorable moment on one of the world’s most iconic stages. On Saturday, Feb 3 the “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” singer debuted the remix to her single “Can’t Get Enough” which reprises Redman’s 1998 hit “Da Goodness”. Wearing a suit, an untucked button-up shirt and a fedora to match the black and white theme, Reggie Noble flawlessly rapped his verse while interacting with the Grammy Award nominated singer with his own set of dance moves. Additionally, the bars were gritty but still made aligned with the track’s mainstream feel. “Take ’em to the limit / shut the place down in a New York minute / Look around the room, J.LO they all mad / Season veterans – check the dog tags”.

This is not the first time Funk Doctor Spock has lent his talents to a pop song. Back in 2003 Christina Aguilera redid his song “Dirty” which he featured on. The track was the lead single to her multi-platinum album Stripped. The duo performed the song at 2002 MTV Music Awards. You can see Jennifer Lopez rock with both Latto and Redman on Saturday Night Live below.

Ayo Edebiri will be hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time, and superstar Jennifer Lopez will be the episode’s musical guest.
The impressive run for comedian and actress Ayo Edebiri is continuing, as it was announced that she will be hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time. Edebiri will host the long-running NBC show on Feb. 3, and Jennifer Lopez will join in as the musical guest for that episode. This weekend’s episode will feature actress Dakota Johnson as the host, with pop star Justin Timberlake serving as the musical guest.

The news comes as Edebiri is fresh off of winning the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Comedy Actress for her role as Sydney Adamu in FX’s The Bear. She also won the Critics Choice Award and a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series. Edebiri also starred in Theatre Camp and Bottoms last year. As a writer, she’s worked on Apple TV+’s Dickinson and Netflix’s Big Mouth as well as The Rundown with Robin Thede.
Edebiri was also a part of the writer’s room for another hit FX show, What We Do In The Shadows, which garnered her a Writers Guild Awards nomination. The Boston, Massachusetts, native’s SNL appearance won’t be without a lack of ties to the show – she’s hosted a comedy show with Ben Marshall, who heads up the show’s “Please Don’t Destroy” segment.
For Jennifer Lopez, the visit will be her fourth time appearing on Saturday Night Live. Her first time was as a musical guest in 2000. She doubled as a host and musical performer in 2001 and 2010. Lopez last appeared on the show alongside DaBaby in 2019. This latest appearance comes as Lopez is about to release This Is Me…Now, her first album in 10 years with a narrative film to be released through Amazon Prime Video Feb. 16.

The “Waiting for Tonight” singer shared a carousel of photos of her wearing a silky, fuchsia set consisting of a bra, underwear and a short satin robe. In the first of the shots, Lopez poses in a wicker chair; in the other snaps, she smiles for the camera while lounging in bed.

“JLOxINTIMISSIMI is almost here,” the singer captioned the post. “I can’t wait for you to see what I have in store with @intimissimiofficial. #linkinbio to preview the collection. #GlobalAmbassador #THISISMENOW.”

Fans looking to get Lopez’s set are in luck: The link in the 53-year-old’s bio leads to several pieces from Intimissi’s line that are “picked by Jennifer Lopez,” including the fuschia set she donned in the Instagram photos. The bra retails for $69, while the matching panty runs for $15 and the silk robe $159. The pieces Lopez wears also come in black, turquoise and bright orange. Silk pajamas are also included in the collection of pieces handpicked by the pop star.

As far as what Lopez is cooking up in the lingerie department, fans will have to wait until the full collaboration arrives. In the meantime, check out the photos from J.Lo and Intimissi’s forthcoming partnership below.

It’s been 20 years since Jennifer Lopez unveiled her third studio album, 2002’s This Is Me… Then, much of which was inspired by her then-relationship with Ben Affleck. Now, the singer is reflecting on the album and her rekindled romance with her now-husband.

“It is a little bit like the Twilight Zone. It doesn’t happen,” Lopez told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe this week. “That album, This Is Me… Then really captured a moment in time where I fell in love with the love of my life. It’s all right there on the record. I didn’t even realize what was happening and what I was doing. It was just every day going from the set to the recording studio, doing the thing, being in love, him coming into the studio, writing ‘I’m Glad,’ […] Me tweaking the lyrics with him. Every single song that we wrote there, me writing ‘Dear Ben’, it was such a special moment in time to have captured.”

As expected, the Good Will Hunting actor “loves” the album. “He knows all of the words. It’s crazy. He also was with me while I was creating it,” she shared. “You’re listening to the demos in the car. You’re listening to the mixes. ‘I wrote this today. What do you think of this?’ It was that over and over again for two years while we were together. He knows it so well and he loves it so much. He’s my biggest fan, which is awesome, and supporter. When he came back into my life again, the same thing happened where I felt so inspired and so overtaken with emotion that it was just pouring out of me.”

Lopez also shared that her 2004 breakup with Affleck was the “biggest heartbreak of my life.” “I honestly felt like I was going to die,” she said, noting that she couldn’t perform songs from This Is Me… Then because it was too painful. “It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending. It has the most would-never-happen-in-Hollywood ending.”

Now, the multihyphenate is gearing up to release her new album This Is Me… Now, which was inspired by her marriage and how much she has grown over the years. “I think what the message of the album is very much if you were wondering if you have, like me at times, lost hope, almost given up, don’t. Because true love does exist and some things do last forever and that’s real,” she said.

Watch the full interview below.

It’s been 20 years since Jennifer Lopez dropped This Is Me … Then, and in honor of the set’s anniversary, the star has announced a follow-up to that album titled This Is Me … Now, set to drop next year.

Calling it a “musical experience,” the project will chronicle the “emotional, spiritual and psychological journey” that Lopez has taken over the past two decades, according to a press release. In a teaser in which she announces This Is Me … Now, J.Lo says: “We captured me at this moment in time. If you have, like me at times, lost hope, almost given up, don’t. And that’s real. And I want to put that message out to the world.”

Lopez talked about this new album in her recent Vogue cover story describing it as a “culmination of who I am as a person and an artist.” She added: “People think they know things about what happened to me along the way, the men I was with — but they really have no idea, and a lot of times they get it so wrong. There’s a part of me that was hiding a side of myself from everyone. And I feel like I’m at a place in my life, finally, where I have something to say about it.”

This Is Me … Then — which featured tracks such as “The One” and “All I Have,” featuring LL Cool J — peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Dec. 14, 2002). After releasing a handful of singles and the soundtrack for her film Marry Me over the past near-decade, This Is Me … Now will mark J.Lo’s first album in eight years, following A.K.A. in 2014. The tracks on the 2023 album, whose exact release date has not yet been revealed, are described as “plaintive, confessional songs, reflections on the trials of her past, upbeat jams celebrating love and sex.”
