Jennifer Lopez is known for her four marriages in the past, with her most recent marriage to Ben Affleck ending after two years. Lopez tied the knot with her first husband, Ojani Noa, in 1997. Unfortunately, they called it quits after 11 months. Recently, Noa came forward and stated that Sean “Diddy” Combs was partially responsible for the collapse of his marriage to Lopez. Here’s what he said about her “deception” and lying with Combs.

Jennifer Lopez’s first husband, Ojani Noa, says Diddy is to blame for their divorce.
Yes, long before her marriages to Chris Judd, Mark Anthony, and Ben Affleck, J-Lo. was married to Ojani, an up-and-coming chef and restaurateur.
Jen’s first husband has seldom spoken of their split, but he decided to open up in the wake of Diddy’s recent legal troubles.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Diddy is in jail awaiting trial on sex assault, trafficking, and racketeering charges.
Given the tidal wave of allegations against him, it seems likely that the hip hop mogul will remain behind bars for the rest of his life.

Jennifer Lopez seems to have gotten more confident in her older years. So much so that, in hindsight, she realized she lacked that same kind of confidence when she was younger.

Lopez confided that she couldn’t have been in a more different place mentally than she was in her twenties. Perhaps professionally as well, as Lopez was just starting to come into her own as a star back then.
In her mid-to-late 20s, Lopez starred in many blockbuster features and classics, such as Money Train, Selena, and Anaconda. However, approaching A-list status also attracted a lot of attention from the media and tabloids, which Lopez used to worry about a great deal.

Ben Affleck was never encouraged to become a full-time actor despite deeply admiring the world of arts and theater. The actor’s mother wanted him to become a teacher. Either way, she allowed Ben and his brother Casey to explore the entertainment field.
But when Affleck developed a bond with Matt Damon, things began taking a serious turn. Between the ages of 8-15, Affleck starred in children’s shows produced by PBS and ABC, casting him to play roles in Wanted: A Perfect Man and Hands of a Stranger.

The 55-year-old has had her fair share of high-profile relationships over the years. However, none of them proved to be the right fit for the mom of 2. In fact, that seems to be the same problem she faced with her now husband, Ben Affleck. Although the couple had been together earlier from 2002 to 2004, their rekindled love story ended up falling apart just 2 years after they got hitched in 2022.

Jenny from the Block made her way to the Six for the premiere of “Unstoppable,” a heartfelt sports drama that debuted on Friday at the Toronto Film Festival.
Jennifer Lopez, who stars as a fiercely supportive mother of five, worked on the film with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, whose production company Artists Equity served as producers. Affleck was absent from the festival (he and Lopez filed for divorce in August after less than two years of marriage), but his company co-founder and friend Matt Damon attended the premiere and walked the red carpet.
Despite the gloomy weather, swarms of fans gathered by the red carpet for a glimpse — and maybe even photo — of Lopez and her co-stars Jharrel Jerome, Don Cheadle and Bobby Cannavale.

The multi-talented, multi-award-winning Jennifer Lopez has been busy crafting a career path in the entertainment industry since the 1990s. The singer has been as prominent a voice in the early 2000s as her moves have been on the dance floor. But most of all, she was one half of the Bennifer saga that captured the world’s attention and went on to repeat itself 20 years later, only to meet a fated, tragic end.

In 2003, Salma Hayek received an Oscar nomination for her role in Frida, a part that had initially belonged to Jennifer Lopez. Lopez had been excited about the role, but she reportedly turned it down for the prospect of a bigger payday in another film. Hayek may not have made as much money, but her part received far more acclaim. This came just a few years after Lopez rolled her eyes at Hayek’s talent as an actor.
Jennifer Lopez originally had Salma Hayek’s part in ‘Frida’
In 2001, Lopez excitedly discussed her upcoming role as Frida Kahlo. She was ready for the challenge the part posed.
“That role will be the most challenging thing I’m sure I’ll ever do,” she told Rolling Stone in 2001. “Frida was truly a tortured artist — she endured physical pain, and her husband, Diego Rivera, was a dog. He was a cheater, he slept with her sister.

Jennifer Lopez recorded her second studio album, J.Lo, in roughly a quarter of the time that it took her to record her debut, On the 6. While Lopez is confident in her abilities, she grappled with uncertainty as she recorded her debut album. According to one of her producers, Lopez frequently needed reassurance while recording On the 6.
Jennifer Lopez had concerns about 1 of her albums
After establishing herself as an actor, Lopez began to focus on building a music career. She got her start in Hollywood as a dancer and said she missed that type of performance. At this point, Lopez had gained a significant level of popularity through her starring role in Selena. Still, she wasn’t sure she was making the right move with her music career.
“She changed drastically, in a good way, from the last record,” co-executive producer Cory Rooney told Rolling Stone of the process of recording J.

Early in Jennifer Lopez’s career, she worked to adjust to her newfound fame. She said she found it uncomfortable to see people discussing her personal life, and she particularly disliked seeing people critique her work. She said she paid close attention to journalists who wrote negative reviews about her.
Jennifer Lopez said there were some journalists she despised
When Lopez became a bigger celebrity, she grew accustomed to seeing her name in the press. Just because she was used to it didn’t mean it was easy on her, though. She said she kept track of journalists who wrote negatively about her.
“There are certain people that are marked for death already,” she told Movieline in 1998. “I have my little list of journalists that have treated me unfairly.”

She said she even confronted the colleague of one critic who didn’t like her performance in Selena.

After months of speculation, Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from her husband, actor Ben Affleck. The two have had a long romantic history; they first dated more than 20 years ago before getting engaged in 2002, but they called off their wedding in 2003 and split for good in 2004.
Ben and Jen reconnected in 2021, and fans were excited about the potential for a romance. In 2022, they had tied the knot in a romantic Georgia wedding, but it seems the flames didn’t last long. Two years after their pricey, elegant wedding ceremony, Lopez has officially filed for divorced. Each half of this ultra-famous duo has racked up plenty of cash through the years, and they reportedly don’t have a prenup — but who has the higher net worth in 2024?

Jennifer Lopez was used to facing a lot of criticism for her work. But she felt a lot of the negative feedback she faced might’ve come from an unfair place.
Jennifer Lopez’s critics affected her success Jennifer Lopez | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Even when Lopez was experiencing a career high, she was bothered by her detractors’ opinions. Back in her younger years, Lopez’s successful debut feature Selena coincided with her debut hit record On the 6. The movie didn’t do too well at the box office, but garnered massive critical praise from critics, with some highlighting Lopez’s performance. Likewise, On the 6 was a commercial success, going gold the first week of its release back in 1999.
But she had enough skeptics at the time to make Lopez doubt herself and her skills as an artist.

While the theatrical experience may be struggling in many regards, the city of Norwalk, California has reason to rejoice as a brand new movie-house is set to open on August 2. Milagro Cinemas features 4K Laser projection, Dolby Atmos Sound, luxury recliner seats, and even motion seats for those “Twisters” fans out there. Moreover, the theater will be focused on centering first-run movies, indie films, and other content from Latino filmmakers.
Entertainment executive, community activist, and producer behind films like “Selena,” Moctesuma Esparza knows a thing or two about the importance of the cinema. Translated from Spanish to English, “Milagro” means miracle and that’s exactly what Esparza intends to deliver to the Latino community of Norwalk and beyond through this theater.

Jennifer Lopez’s career is floundering amid marriage trouble. Could country music be the answer to her problems?
Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Marriage Issues
Jennifer Lopez had a successful acting career before she became famous for her music. She starred in the 1997 hit movie Selena, playing the title role of the iconic Tejano singer who was murdered in 1995 by an obsessed fan.
Lopez also starred in Anaconda and Out Of Sight before her debut album was released in 1999 and kick started her music career.
She’s almost as famous for her romantic entanglements as her entertainment career. She dated Sean “Diddy” Combs back when he was called “Puff Daddy.” Jennifer Lopez was married to singer Marc Anthony for ten years and shares two kids with him.
She famously got engaged to former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez but they called off the wedding in 2021. She then rekindled her romance with actor Ben Affleck,...

Adrian Arredondo & Myrna Perez Prepping Doc ‘Take It Away’ On Tejano Singer & TV Host Johnny Canales
Exclusive: Johnny Canales, the famed Tejano singer and Mexican American TV host who passed away on June 13, is the subject of Take It Away, a new feature doc from Adrian Arredondo and Myrna Perez that has entered production.
In a moment when Latino music and artists like Peso Pluma, Grupo Frontera, and Bad Bunny are dominating the charts, the film explores the origins of Latin music’s rise through The Johnny Canales Show — a space where, beginning in the 1980s, every Latino in America felt seen, free to be unapologetically themselves, and part of a larger movement.
Ushering in the golden age of Tejano music and the “Decade of the Hispanic,” Canales and his TV show became a microcosm of the Latino experience in America.
The film will be exec produced by Texas Monthly and Trojan Horse Media, as well as Arredondo and Perez. CAA Media Finance reps worldwide distribution rights.

Jennifer Lopez’s recent films in her career have failed to impress fans, with many complaining about the mediocrity of the films she is participating in. Although her performances in her recent films Shotgun Wedding, and The Mother were praised, the films were considered cliche and derivative. Her latest film Atlas may be the weakest film in recent years.

Fifty-three years ago today, the world was blessed with the birth of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, who became an eternal icon in Latin pop culture and music. Selena blazed a trail for the música Mexicana explosion that we're seeing today and the Latina pop stars who have followed in her footsteps. Her impact is often minimized in comparison to the circumstances of her tragic death. However, her music - and how she bridged the gap between her Mexican and American identities - continue to resonate with new generations of Latine fans.
Selena Quintanilla was born on April 16, 1971, and grew up in Corpus Christi, TX. She was an Aries, a sign often described as "passionate, brave, and headstrong." Indeed of conforming with the música Mexicana artists of the time, she paved the way for herself by proudly embracing her Chicana identity. With influences like Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Jody Watley, and Gloria Estefan,...

Apple Original Films announced today that it had landed the global rights to the new feature documentary Bread & Roses, the acclaimed Cannes Film Festival selection and Cannes Golden Eye nominee, revealing the powerful resistance of Afghan women against the Taliban.
The film is produced by Excellent Cadaver’s (Causeway) Jennifer Lawrence and Justine Ciarrocchi, alongside Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights advocate and executive producer Malala Yousafzai’s (Joyland) Extracurricular and renowned director Sahra Mani (A Thousand Girls Like Me).
Following its celebrated debut at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Bread & Roses is set to premiere globally on Apple TV+ on June 21.
“Closing girls’ schools in Afghanistan is not just a matter of feminist concern; rather, it is a matter of international security. The Taliban recognizes that the children of educated mothers are difficult to indoctrinate and are less susceptible to becoming their future soldiers,” said director and producer Sahra Mani.

After the March 28 friends, family, and industry screening for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” at Universal’s CityWalk AMC in IMAX, reactions were wild. Some said it was his most ambitious film since “Apocalypse Now;” another described it to Puck as “batshit crazy.” Made for $120 million and bankrolled entirely by Coppola through the sale of one of his vineyards, it incorporates new VFX techniques — ones, the filmmakers hope, will be seen on the biggest screens possible.
For that to happen, it will need a major theatrical deal and the filmmakers are now in talks with distributors and major studios. However, those entities have been particularly risk averse these days — and while Coppola is a legend, he hasn’t made a commercial success in three decades.
The film’s stars include Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, and Giancarlo Esposito; maybe, say, Paramount or Universal want to be back in the Coppola business.
