Not many would consider it hard labor to stand in the shadow of Jennifer Lopez. Few, perhaps, could stand as still and as long as documentary filmmaker Jason Bergh.
For nearly a decade, Bergh has recorded the multi-hyphenate star behind the scenes as she has charted new paths as a content producer and beauty mogul, and danced her way onto America’s biggest stage — the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Last month, Bergh took his loftiest seat at J. Lo, Inc. by serving as director for “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” a much-discussed documentary about the making of Lopez’s 2024 visual album “This Is Me … Now.”
Imposingly tall and excessively kind, Bergh has been a gentle giant in the unscripted space for years. He’s directed episodic and short content on notable music figures like Alicia Keys and athletes Stephen Curry and Clay Matthews. After the dust settled on “Greatest Love Story,...

Rapper Sean Diddy Combs has made headlines this week when his homes were raided by federal agents. Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles were reportedly raided, with the Department of Homeland Security claiming it to be a part of their ongoing investigations, though they reportedly did not confirm if the investigation was related to the rapper himself (via BBC News).
Unfortunately, this was not the first time that the Bad Boys For Life rapper has gotten himself on the wrong side of the law. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was reportedly arrested in a late-night club along with his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez years earlier in 1999. The detention resulted in a humiliating incident with Lopez, who was reportedly handcuffed to a pole at the precinct.

“I’ve been married four times now,” Jennifer Lopez says to the camera during the opening minutes of “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” “and I’m sure people watching from the outside are like ‘What is this girl’s fucking problem?’”
If nothing else, this semi-candid Epk of a film — which chronicles the making of “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” the self-financed musical fairy tale that Lopez released on Prime video earlier this month in support of her new album of the same name — identifies the multi-talented music icon’s “fucking problem” more nakedly than anything else she’s ever made: She’s desperate to be understood, but petrified of putting herself out there.
It’s a dilemma inherent to celebrity in the digital age, and one that might be relatable to anyone who’s tried to be vulnerable in a world that can destroy you for exposing your heart.

Los Angeles, Feb 17 (Ians) Filmmaker Ridley Scott is in talks to direct a film on the music group Bee Gees.
The Bee Gees were a band formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. Barry Gibb, the last surviving brother, will executive produce. Siblings Maurice and Robin died in 2003 and 2012, respectively.
Scott will produce the currently-untitled film alongside Graham King for Gk Films, Stacey Snider, and Michael Pruss for Scott Free. John Logan, who wrote Scott’s 2000 epic ‘Gladiator’, will pen the script.
It’s been a long road to tell the Bee Gees’ story on the big screen – Kenneth Branagh was previously tapped to direct a biopic film for Paramount in 2021. John Carney stepped in as director in March 2022, but departed due to scheduling conflicts, reports variety.com.

Star’s self-funded big swing is a mix of over-produced music videos and self-help advice but showcases her undeniable screen magnetism
It might not have scored her the Oscar nomination she deserved (and hungered for) but Jennifer Lopez’s canny, all-guns-blazing performance in Hustlers was still a validating win for an actor, and a fanbase, who sorely needed one. Lopez had been the best thing in a cascade of increasingly middling movies, her career defined by the inability to take a risk, to be unlikable or messy or inelegant, and so the star’s rougher, more interesting edges had been sanded down to nothing.
Her latest project is, in a way, all risk, something that’s become front and centre of her recent press tour, when Lopez revealed that her $20m big bet – a hokey, hard-to-define cinematic accompaniment to her new album – is self-funded. While it might not feel like...

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!

The Hollywood Reporter was exclusively on set of Cardi’s “Duck Plump” commercial, which features brightly colored dancing ducks alongside the hip-hop star at center stage of an ad that leads to mass confusion among men who misunderstand where the product is supposed to go.
Cardi told THR that she loved that the idea behind the commercial poked fun at men.
Although Cardi admits she’s not a huge football fan herself, she says she’ll definitely be watching the game this year because her 2-year-old son, Wave, loves the sport. Cardi, who shares Wave and daughter Kulture,...

Jennifer Lopez is known for her versatility in Hollywood.
She truly does it all, from acting in blockbusters to topping the charts with her music. Right now the focus is on the latter as she takes over Saturday Night Live as the musical guest on February 3.
However, Jennifer is equally used to flexing her acting chops, and she particularly excels in comedies. She’s played everything from an assassin in The Mother to a stripper in her critically acclaimed Hustlers.
That’s a true testament to her creative range, but we have to admit that her rom-coms always hold a special place in our heart. Jennifer shared the screen with Matthew McConaughey (a legend in the genre by his own rights) in her first – The Wedding Planner.
Since then, she’s taken the lead in eight other laugh-out-loud films and played an essential role in another. Her most recent rom-com...

“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 Emmy winning actress Keke Palmer is joining Aziz Ansari’s feature directorial debut, ‘Good Fortune’, which also stars the ‘Parks & Recreation’ and ‘Master of None’ alum, Keanu Reeves and Seth Rogen. Palmer was originally set to star in Ansari’s previous directorial debut at Searchlight, ‘Being Mortal’, before that movie was shut down by the studio over alleged inappropriate conduct by star Bill Murray, reports Deadline.
Palmer, in the wake of that experience, had nothing but praise for Ansari when Deadline spoke to her at the Nope premiere in summer 2022. Rogen also was set to star in ‘Being Mortal’.
“I had a wonderful time filming,” Palmer told Deadline at the ‘Nope’ premiere. “Aziz Ansari is one of the coolest people that I ever met. That was the coolest experience, but I don’t know anything more than that”.

Keke Palmer has joined the cast of “Good Fortune,” a comedy from Aziz Ansari.
She’ll star alongside Ansari, who wrote and directed the film in his debut feature, as well as Seth Rogen and Keanu Reeves.
Palmer’s role, as well as the entire plot of the movie, is being kept under wraps. Lionsgate is backing “Good Fortune,” which is currently in production in Los Angeles.

Any topic that can seize the attention of the audience is rare these days. We used to make aspirational stories where there were clearly defined roles for the hero and the villain. Then came the relatable phase of storytelling, where mundane stories were being told with such care that the audience could see their daily struggles in them. The new miniseries Hustlers wants to combine the two approaches to storytelling. It’s a story about an ordinary boy who hustles his way to the top, hence the name. It’s an aspirational story, as everyone connects to a ‘hero’ figure who fights his way through and succeeds in whatever endeavor he aspires to. But keeping in with the trends, Hustlers tries to keep it relatable, giving us characters that are so well known to the Indian middle class.

Amazon MiniTV had left the topic of entrepreneurship uncovered up until this point, but now they too have a show to cater to those bright-eyed youngsters who want to enter the field. Hustlers is a 5-episode miniseries that tells the story of Sanjay Sharma, a middle-class young lad who faces constant rejection but ultimately takes the decision to put his startup idea to the test, risking immense ridicule from his father. The series has its ups and downs, but it is clear that it doesn’t have anything new to say. The idea of hustling your way to the top has been explored before, but in a much more authentic way. The series does try to add its own flavor to the same idea, but the trouble is that in doing so, it crushes any novelty that could have emerged, at least in the performances. Everything is too on the nose,...

In 2020 – for the first time in seven years – the Best Supporting Actress Oscar category saw a lone nomination, meaning that a film was recognized there and nowhere else. This achievement is attributed to Kathy Bates (“Richard Jewell”), who competed for no major precursors except the Golden Globe but still managed to bump Critics Choice, SAG, and Globe nominee Jennifer Lopez (“Hustlers”). Perhaps unsurprisingly given the length of the streak she broke, there has yet to be a lone contender in any of her category’s subsequent lineups.
Since the introduction of the two gendered supporting Oscars in 1937, there have been 57 female lone nominees and 54 male ones, with over half of the entrants on the former roster having been added before 1977. The one who directly preceded Bates was Helen Hunt, whose inclusion in her lineup was much more heavily predicted. Coincidentally, both women had the perceived advantage of being former Best Actress champions,...

Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake is exiting the studio. He’ll hand the reins to Adam Fogelson, who formerly lead both Universal Pictures and STX Motion Picture Group; Fogelson joined Lionsgate’s film group in 2022 as vice chair. This is now the third studio Fogelson will lead dating back to 2009.
Drake returned to Lionsgate in 2017 after starting Good Universe Pictures, which Lionsgate acquired from Drake. He most recently oversaw Lionsgate’s first $1 billion year at the global box office since 2019, thanks in large part to new “John Wick,” “Hunger Games,” and “Saw” films. Drake also oversaw the successes of “Knives Out,” “Jesus Revolution,” “Shotgun Wedding,” and more.
Fogelson and Drake will continue to work together over the next couple of months.

Lionsgate has tapped Adam Fogelson to succeed Joe Drake as chair of its movie division.
It’s understood Drake initiated the transition as he works with Fogelson — currently vice chair of the Motion Picture Group and overseeing the worldwide marketing and theatrical distribution — over the coming months to ensure a smooth succession.
Former STX Film chief Fogelson joined Lionsgate in September 2022 and reported to Drake, chair of the studio’s Motion Picture Group. His move to Lionsgate followed the Hollywood studio exploring a possible takeover of STX, a deal that didn’t come to pass.
Drake rejoined Lionsgate in 2017 after running Good Universe Pictures, the second company acquired by Lionsgate from Drake. He reentered a studio different from the one he left in 2012, as Lionsgate had moved beyond its hit Hunger Games and Twilight franchises to leverage a diversified portfolio of film and TV properties across multiple platforms, especially after acquiring Starz.

While many folks were busy being starstruck by Brie Larson at the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday, the actress was fangirling over Jennifer Lopez.
As she was being interviewed on the red carpet, the Lessons in Chemistry star got emotional when she spotted the Hustlers actress — which is very relatable. “Oh my God, I’m gonna cry. I can’t deal with J.Lo. I can’t, no, I can’t. I’m gonna cry. I’m gonna cry,” she said as Lopez approached her.
When the singer-actress-dancer went to embrace Larson, telling her she’s also “such a huge fan,” The Marvels star expressed why Lopez is such an inspiration to her.
“I saw Selena and it made me want to be an actor,” Larson said. “You’ve always meant so much to me. … It’s been a dream of mine [to meet you] so thank you so much! Your work ethic is so important,...

When “Monica” premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2022, the response was immediate: The movie received a standing ovation that clocked in at 11-and-a-half minutes. Andrea Pallaoro’s powerful tale of a woman returning home to care for her ailing mother who hasn’t seen her since before her gender transition had already made history by being the first film to feature a trans lead to play the fest. Praise was heaped on star Trace Lysette in the title role and Patricia Clarkson, who portrays her mother, Eugenia.
Still, it wasn’t until November when IFC Films, whose parent company is AMC Networks, picked up North American distribution rights. “‘Monica’ is a terrifically textured film anchored by multiple riveting performances,” says Scott Shooman, head of AMC Networks Film Group. “We really responded to Andrea’s vision and felt that it is the type of boundary-pushing, auteur filmmaking we always seek to be associated with.

Will Ferrell called for women to take over the world as he opened The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment gala, presented by Lifetime, on Thursday at The Beverly Hills Hotel.
“This is such a wonderful event where we honor and support and continue to fight for women in all facets of the entertainment world,” said Ferrell before adding, “Forget about the entertainment world, isn’t it just time? Isn’t it just time for women to run the planet?” he asked to resounding applause. “I’m not just trying to placate you, I swear, but I don’t know what else to do because we — men — we’ve been running the show since, what, 10,000 B.C., and we’re not doing so good.
