As Tj and Jesse Mizell stroll through the Amsterdam Houses — the community of brick buildings for low-income households on Manhattan’s Upper West Side where they grew up — residents play basketball and stand around chatting. It’s an unusually sunny March day, and it feels good to be outside. One friendly older woman waves at the Mizells. “It’s been so long,” she shouts. “How are you? How is your mother?” The men, who moved from here to Los Angeles in 2018, wave back, grinning. All is well, they reassure her.

A day after performing in front of a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden as part of her Pink Friday 2 world tour, Nicki Minaj returned to the indoor arena on Sunday to witness the New York Knicks take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Just in time for Easter, the Starships hitmaker turned the basketball game into a family affair by sitting courtside with her husband, Kenneth Petty, and their son, nicknamed Papa Bear.
Though other celebrities were also watching the game, like Julia Fox, Fat Joe, Bad Bunny, and Ben Stiller, with whom Minaj snapped a photo, Nicki Minaj’s Barbie pink outfit instantly captured my attention.

Jennifer Lopez has been busy. In case you missed it, the Puerto Rican singer, dancer, and actor released not one but three complementary projects to kick off the year. There's her "This Is Me . . . Now" album; a video companion/musical to said album, "This Is Me . . . Now: A Love Story"; and a documentary that dives into said love story, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told." It was an ambitious undertaking, no doubt. And one that has her being dragged across TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
Part of the controversy lies in how Lopez represents herself and her native borough of the Bronx. In one scene from the documentary, Lopez tussles her curly hair while looking in the mirror and says, "It reminds me, like, when I was 16 in the Bronx, running up and down the block. Crazy little girl who used to fucking be wild and no limits,...

President Joe Biden’s administration held the first in a series of events centered on marijuana reform: a roundtable discussion with Vice President Kamala Harris, rapper Fat Joe, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, and others.
Hosted by Harris in the West Wing on Friday, the event is the administration’s first action since Biden’s announced earlier this month that his cabinet will “review the federal classification of marijuana.” Additionally, Biden is looking at “expunging thousands of convictions” for possession, and joining the roundtable discussion will be a number of individuals who received pardons for prior cannabis convictions.
“Friday’s engagement will build on the Vice President’s efforts to uplift the historic actions the Biden-Harris Administration has taken to ensure everyone has access to opportunity, including by making the criminal justice system more just,” a White House official said, according to NBC News. “This will continue in the weeks and months to come.

Michael Strahan was noticeably absent from his fourth-straight episode of Good Morning America, which may have some viewers concerned.
He appeared in a wild GMA segment with Robin Roberts earlier this week but has not been in the studio since last week.
Rebecca Jarvis replaced Strahan during his absences this week. Jarvis appeared at the desk with regular GMA anchors Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.
Prior to his GMA absences, Strahan attended a college basketball game with his twin daughters this weekend.
That gave him some quality time with his recovering daughter, Isabella, and her sister Sophia.
In addition, the Pro Football Hall of Famer recently revealed a new partnership that may have him occupied.

Fans do not seem to be getting enough of Dunkin’ Donuts and the company does not seem to be getting enough of ‘The DunKings’ Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, dressed in outrageously colored tracksuits decked in illustrations of donuts and crowns. Frankly speaking, no one is, considering how dope they look in those suits.
DunKin’s commercial for the 2024 Super Bowl features the Bostonian best friends and Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, alongside NFL quarterback Tom Brady, with all of them dressed in similar tracksuits. If it is any consolation, Dunkin’ also dropped a drink name after the band ‘The DunKings’ comprising the three Bostonian legends.

There’s a moment in Jennifer Lopez’s latest documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, directed by Jason Bergh, where she gets to the heart of why she’s pursuing a multi-format rollout of her ninth album This Is Me … Now. “It’s not like anybody was clamoring for the next JLo record,” she says with a self-aware laugh in an interview scene. “There’s some people around me who are like, ‘This is stupid. She doesn’t need to do this. Why is she doing this?’ And they’re right.

If you had a hard time understanding Jennifer Lopez's recent music video project "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story," her documentary "The Greatest Love Story Never Told" might answer some of your questions. In the doc, Lopez shares that the inspiration behind both "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story" and her ninth studio album, "This Is Me... Now" (both of which released on Feb. 16), was to finally set the record straight about her love life.
"I've been married four times now. I'm sure people watching from the outside were like, 'What is this girl's fucking problem?' You saw kind of a compulsive behavior," Lopez says in the documentary's introduction. "What I portrayed to the world was, 'Oh this didn't work out and it's fine and I'm good and they're good.' And all of that was kind of bullshit."

With lawmakers, government officials, and their dedicated staff in attendance, Foo Fighters will join the drive to raise awareness about the inequality and uncertainty created for millions of patients when hospitals and insurers hide actual upfront prices.

When Jennifer Lopez started working on This Is Me… Now, she knew a lot of people wouldn’t get the full concept at first. Yes, she was planning an album that would be a direct sequel to her 2002 LP This Is Me… Then, an album she wrote when she was first falling in love with Ben Affleck, who she reconnected with and married almost exactly 20 years later. But she also wanted to pair the music with an out-of-the-box film that would capture the romantic journey she’d been on over the last two decades.

If there’s a takeaway from the trailer for Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming documentary film The Greatest Love Story Never Told, it’s that, like many celebrities who venture into producing a doc on their own life, the legendary entertainer wants to set the record straight and tell her own truth.
“It takes courage to share your truth and I know it could end disastrously,” Lopez opines in the trailer. “Nobody figures out anything when everything’s all hunky dory and rosy. You figure shit out when shit is hard.

In the summer of 2022, Netflix released “Halftime,” a glossy, shiny, and intermittently revelatory documentary focused on global icon Jennifer Lopez. That offering found unexpected (if highly unrelatable) pathos in the star’s distress over not being nominated for an Oscar for her (quite good) turn in “Hustlers.” Just twenty months later, and yet another streamer is now releasing its own glossy, shiny, and intermittently revelatory film project focused on global icon Jennifer Lopez. The pathos, though? That’s mostly missing, but certainly not for lack of trying.
The project comes from the mind of Lopez herself, who also co-financed the effort. It’s clunkily titled (and punctuated) as “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” linking it inextricably with Lopez’s latest studio album, which just so happens to be dropping the same day as its “cinematic” component. Synergy!

On her 2002 album This is Me…Then, Jennifer Lopez included a song addressing Ben Affleck. “Dear Ben” is a confession and a love letter to Affleck, whom the singer met and started dating during the shooting of the film Gigli. The album was released two weeks after the pair’s engagement. The song ends with a now melancholic coda: “There’s no way I’d leave you / It’s just not a reality / Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a fantasy.” A year later, after Lopez and Affleck postponed their wedding, the pair broke up.
More than 20 years later, Lopez’s life looks different. She’s even more established in her career, she’s a mother of two teenagers and she remarried the love of her life. Three years ago, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their relationship, becoming proof of the adage “right person, wrong time.” To commemorate this...

The excitement among Jennifer Lopez’s fans on the release of This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, which showcases the meaning of love and self-love from the diva’s perspective, is quite high. Adding her touch of elegance, the actress has an interesting take on how this film was made. She created an album by the same name but did not want to take the conventional route for the album launch. Taking help from her dear friend, Dave Meyer (director), she visualised her perception and idea of love and started writing a script, which then resulted in – This is Me…Now: A Love Story premiering on February 16 on Prime Video.
Speaking about what ignited the idea of This is Me…Now: A Love Story, Lopez said, “There wasn’t a time where I was like, “Oh, I’m going to do this at some point in my life.” This...

An extended cut of Ben Affleck’s Super Bowl commercial has dropped. The spot for Dunkin’ features the star’s full journey to pop stardom, assembling the boy band The DunKings.
In the spot, Affleck enlists fellow Bostonian Matt Damon and former New England Patriots star Tom Brady to form a boy band.
The extended cut begins with Affleck watching the news, where they call him “The Boredest Man In The World,” poking fun at his facial expressions when he’s out at events with his wife, J.Lo.
Affleck, with donuts in hand, gets inspired to drop some beats and viewers see the whole process the actor took to come up with The DunKings concept.

Jennifer Lopez took on an enormous challenge with This is Me … Now: A Love Story, the “narrative driven, cinematic original” film that hits Prime Video this week. It wasn’t the singing, acting or intricate choreography featured in the 65-minute musical, as the multihyphenate can do all of that in her sleep. The real hurdle arose when the money disappeared and Lopez opted to open her wallet to pay for the whole thing.
“Everybody thought I was crazy when I said I would do it. We did have financing, and then that fell out. They pulled out at the last minute, and then it was that moment where you go, ‘Ok, do we just make a video or do we go ahead and do this thing?'” explained the 54-year-old entertainer during an interview at the Four Seasons Los Angeles in Beverly Hills while sitting alongside her Nuyorican Prods. producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.

Super Bowl Lviii is in the books, and with the big game comes the big game TV spots for upcoming anticipated films. Viewers were able to get a peek at trailers for Kung Fu Panda 4, Deadpool & Wolverine, Wicked, If, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Twisters and more. In addition to movie ads, Super Bowl commercials would feature traditional cameos from various notable names. In a T-Mobile ad, the cast of Suits would reunite along with several other appearances by Academy Award hopeful Bradley Cooper, Common, Donald Faison and Zach Braff. State Farm pulled out a big gun with Arnold Schwarzenegger starring in a fictional action movie and playing on his accent in a joke that resembled a classic Simpsons gag.

Dunkin Donuts aired a star-studded commercial during the Super Bowl on Sunday, which obviously means Ben Affleck graced our television screens.
In the ad, Jennifer Lopez is recording in the studio with her bedazzled, reusable Dunkin Donuts. In the opening scene, Affleck is sitting in a car with Jack Harlow and tells him his plan to show up to his wife’s recording session. “She came to my work, now I have to show her what I can do,” he says to Harlow, who looks skeptical at best.

Advertisers who normally use the Super Bowl to create commercials that make your jaw drop instead were content if they could get just a little smile.
For the second consecutive year, Madison Avenue relied on a massive parade of celebrities to capture consumer attention, foregoing in many cases the social messages and dynamic creative concepts that have generated chatter in the past. Where the Super Bowl was once the setting for Apple’s still-talked-about “1984” commercial or Procter & Gamble’s clever insertion of Tide into a bevy of ads, it’s now become a place for formulaic cameos of famous faces.
“It’s like a celebrity arms race,” says Simon Bruyn, executive creative director at Mother, an independent agency. “It’s like one celebrity isn’t enough.”

Ben Affleck is starring in another Super Bowl commercial this year, and he brought some famous friends: his wife Jennifer Lopez, his Bff Matt Damon, Tom Brady, Fat Joe and Jack Harlow in an ad for Dunkin’.
During the spot, Affleck tries to start a music career with some help from Harlow and Damon — Brady acts as his DJ. His wife Lopez and Fat Joe watch his first performance as one of the “The DunKings” in horror.
The coffee company, which employs Affleck as an official brand ambassador, teased the ad earlier in the week in a shorter spot online, titled “Voice of Reason.”
This marks the second year in a row that Affleck and Dunkin’ have partnered for a Super Bowl commercial. Last year, the company put the actor behind the drive-thru window to surprise unsuspecting customers when they pulled up to the window to retrieve their orders. Lopez...

Ben Affleck attempts a career pivot in his latest ad campaign for Dunkin’. The star-studded Super Bowl spot, which aired Sunday during the game, features Affleck alongside his wife, Jennifer Lopez, and friends Matt Damon, Tom Brady, Jack Harlow and Fat Joe.
In the commercial, Affleck, Damon and Brady all don tracksuits — available for sale from Dunkin’ on Monday — as part of their transformation to become “The DunKings” pop stars, while Lopez, Harlow and Fat Joe offer skepticism.
“What up Bronx,” Affleck says as he enters what appears to be the set of a music video. “For your consideration, here comes the Boston massacre, The DunKings!”
He then introduces Brady (playing the keyboard) and Damon, who stands to the side and tells Affleck, “Sometimes it’s really hard to be your friend.”

Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and Valerie June combined forces to call for a more transparent and equitable healthcare system in a new PSA set to air this Sunday during Super Bowl Lviii.
Organized by the nonprofit group Power to the Patients, the spot specifically highlights the way hospitals and insurance companies are able to get away with not clearly stating how much certain services and procedures cost and then billing patients afterward. This has contributed to astronomical levels of medical debt around the United States.

Musicians Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and Valerie June are heading to the Super Bowl — in a new ad for the nonprofit organization Power to the Patients.
The performers appear in a new spot that raises awareness about the health care crisis in America and pushes for officials to be more transparent about the cost of health care. In the commercial, the singers criticize hospitals and insurance companies for robbing patients, many of whom have dealt with medical debt.
“Hospitals and insurance companies all around the United States are stealing our future by looting every patient, worker, employer and family across the country,” Jelly Roll, known for hits like “Need a Favor” and “Save Me,” said in a statement.
Wilson, who won her first Grammy last week, added: “American citizens in need of care are afraid to enter a hospital.”

Comedian Trevor Noah has revealed that he received a call from singer-actress Jennifer Lopez to appear in her upcoming streaming musical film ‘This Is Me…Now: A Love Story’. However, upon learning about the opportunity, he couldn’t believe it was real, reports People magazine.
“That was a random call where your phone rings, and it’s Jennifer Lopez, and you’re like, ‘This must be a prank,'” Noah, 39, told ‘People’. “And she wants you to come and do a cameo in her visual experience, and you’re like, ‘Whoa. I mean, I don’t know what I’m doing, but Ok, I’ll join in’.”

The two-minute trailer for This Is Me…Now describes the sci-fi autobiographical musical one-hour film as from the heart, soul, and dreams of Jennifer Lopez. The trailer runs through J-Lo’s various romances and marriages, and finds her friends hosting an intervention to discuss her sex addiction.
“I learned the hard way not all love stories have a happy ending,” says Lopez. “Whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, the answer was always in love.”
Grammy-winner Dave Meyers (“No Tears Left to Cry” by Ariana Grande) directs from a screenplay by Jennifer Lopez and Matt Walton. Lopez’s hubby, Ben Affleck, is featured in the film alongside Fat Joe, Trevor Noah, Kim Petras, Post Malone, Keke Palmer, Sofia Vergara, Jenifer Lewis, and Jay Shetty.
The cast also includes Neil deGrasse Tyson, Sadhguru, Tony Bellissimo, Derek Hough, Trevor Jackson, Paul Raci, Bella Gagliano, Brandon Delsid,...
