Bellamy Posted February 10, 2005 at 06:24 PM Posted February 10, 2005 at 06:24 PM Jennifer Lopez Show Biggest New York Fashion Buzz She's already a pop diva, a major movie star and gossip column favorite -- now Jennifer Lopez (news) is set to make her debut as a fashion designer, in the most sought after show at New York's fashion week. Lopez unveils a collection of clothes on Friday evening in a show that's been the hardest invitation to nab and is sure to draw the largest crowd of celebrities, paparazzi and press. And while her credentials may fall short of Oscar de la Renta or Ralph Lauren, experts say don't rule her out. "We as consumers tip our hats to celebrities and say, 'You live the life we aspire to, so tell us how to dress,"' said Wendy Liebmann, head of WSL Strategic Retail consultants. While stars have long put their names behind consumer products -- Frank Sinatra had a line of neckties -- the trend took off with Martha Stewart (news - web sites) who built an empire from her domestic talents and P. Diddy who moved from his hip hop roots to build his popular "Sean John" clothing brand. "A big huge celebrity has got enormous equity value," said Robert Thompson, a Syracuse University pop culture professor. No one should be surprised a celebrity would hold a runway show at fashion week, a venue typically reserved for top designers, said Simon Doonan, creative director at top New York fashion retailer Barney's. BRAIN SURGERY? "We've only ourselves to blame because we've given celebrities these deranged feelings of omnipotence," he said. "She'll be doing brain surgery next." And it's one more nail in the coffin of what Fashion Week in New York once was, he added. "Every fashion show is like some gigantic mind-blowing movie premiere. The original sense that it's a trade show has evaporated completely," Doonan said. Lopez' entree into fashion seems jarring, said Paco Underhill, author of "Why We Buy." "I would correlate J Lo's move to the runway with Sharon Stone's move to Davos," he said, referring to the actress' appearance at the World Economic Forum (news - web sites). "What in God's name are Sharon Stone's credentials to go talk at an economic forum?" At least Lopez is a trendsetter, said Thompson. "As big a star as Tom Hanks (news) is, I'm not sure that I would buy an after-shave called Tom," he said. Lopez told Women's Wear Daily that her show will feature a more upscale look with higher prices and more limited distribution than her existing JLo line, which sells inexpensive, casual daywear and lingerie. Her designer collection features velvet jackets, cashmere sweaters and fox furs, the trade daily reported. Lopez told WWD that while she's not a designer, "I do have a certain style and a certain image that people respond to." The show will be split into three parts to represent stages of Lopez's life -- one to mark her beginnings in the Bronx, one to reflect her musical career and then a glamorous finale. "I don't care about critics," she said. "Consumers will decide if they like it and if they want to buy it or not." If she follows "Sean John," showing flashy clothes but selling streetwear, she's likely to make it, said Doonan. "He'll do a very fancy fashion show with fur coats and all this dandified Cotton Club look, but the reality is he's making all his money on sweatshirts," Doonan said of Diddy, one of the few other celebrities to stage a major New York fashion show. Fashion analyst Irma Zandl said Lopez may be in better touch with customers than many haute couture designers. "By focusing ... so exclusively on small sizes and super trendy styles, the fashion industry is ever so close to becoming at best, a spectator sport, at worst, totally irrelevant," she said.http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...life_fashion_dc http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/nm/20050210/mdf855686.jpg Quote Please support the forum by ordering everything through our special Amazon.com link Click here.

Lymon Posted October 9, 2009 at 12:54 AM Posted October 9, 2009 at 12:54 AM Jennifer is releasing a CD next January, it will be called Love? and the first single, Fresh Out the Oven, is out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teHUqBNZi-Q For the first single, she has a little persona called "Lola". I love the song, it's funky and fresh. Two other songs that will be on the album are One Love and What is Love. One Love is OK but I love What is Love. What is Love: One Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9YXdqQ_07k Quote http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf4r5f.png
VintageCeline Posted October 13, 2009 at 02:52 AM Posted October 13, 2009 at 02:52 AM I LOVE Jennifer Lopez! I'm glad she is coming back! Quote http://24.media.tumblr.com/94198518f8a09aef1d336d6fde8fc8b3/tumblr_mkdcezs36X1r7lwiso1_400.jpg
Lymon Posted October 14, 2009 at 12:09 AM Posted October 14, 2009 at 12:09 AM This song leaked in February, but it hasn't been posted yet, so i'm posting it now. It's called Hooked on You. The Fresh Out the Oven video is said to have a "Eyes Wide Shut" theme, according to Pitbull (the featured artist on FOTO). But the song will not be featured on her album Love?, which comes out in January. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20310928,00.html A note of explanation: Lopez's new song will not appear on her upcoming album – and a Web site established to promote it, featuring a dancing female figure named Lola, has spawned rumors that Lopez has adopted a new persona. Not so. "Lola is just for this song, it's not her ongoing persona," says a source close to the singer. "It's something fun. She hasn't become Sasha Fierce [beyoncé's artistic alter ego]. There won't be anything to do with Lola on her Love? album." "This is a hot club record that the label loved and Jennifer thought was fun," Amanda Ghost, president of Epic Records tells PEOPLE. "Jennifer and Pitbull got together and the record leaked. Lola is a fun Quote http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf4r5f.png
Lymon Posted November 20, 2009 at 11:15 AM Posted November 20, 2009 at 11:15 AM Fresh Out the Oven might be added as a bonus track later, according to an interview Jennifer did recently. The official first single, Louboutins, produced by Tricky and The-Dream, has leaked! It's a really hot song. Jennifer will be performing it this Sunday at the AMAs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G_HQv3bV8Q...player_embedded Quote http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf4r5f.png
SuperLove4Celine Posted November 21, 2009 at 07:50 PM Posted November 21, 2009 at 07:50 PM So, I guess the rumors of the "Greatest Hits" album were just that...rumors? Oh well...maybe the album after this one... Quote
Lymon Posted November 21, 2009 at 08:39 PM Posted November 21, 2009 at 08:39 PM So, I guess the rumors of the "Greatest Hits" album were just that...rumors? Oh well...maybe the album after this one... No, there was going to be one. But then Jennifer decided to do a full album after recording a few songs. Plus, I don't think she really needs a GH yet. Maybe in (at least) two more albums, but for now I don't think so. I'm not very interested in GH's unless they're very well done and not cheap like certain ones (ML: EL, Celebration, etc).

Lymon Posted December 23, 2009 at 06:22 PM Posted December 23, 2009 at 06:22 PM Some news (some not very "new", but new to this thread): 1. Official single cover for Louboutins: http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/674/640/20091124/dyn007_original_320_320_xpng_2674640_5b87cbaa1a41bc2cce9d7d60f6d62032.png 2. Louboutins was released to iTunes this Monday. It's currently #36 on the iTunes Pop 100 Chart, and #89 on the overall iTunes Songs Chart. 3. The album will now be released in April 2010. 4. Jennifer's new movie, The Back-Up Plan, will be released in April 2010 as well. It's a romantic comedy co-starring Alex O'Loughlin. The trailer can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAyzwSZ2o48 5. Here's a recent interview with Access Hollywood, where in it there is a VERY short snippet of a new song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHgnaQZ8lzE...player_embedded 5. Rap-Up got an exclusive preview of Love? a few days ago. They posted their review on their site: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Jennifer Lopez sticks to her hitmaking formula on her seventh studio album Love? While it’s not due until April, Rap-Up.com was one of the first media outlets to hear nine tracks from the superstar’s dance floor-ready project, four months prior to its release. J.Lo’s first album since becoming a mother features contributions from heavy hitters including Danja, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, The Neptunes (“Fresh Out the Oven”), Stargate (“Story of My Life”), Tricky Stewart and The-Dream (“Louboutins”), and Wynter Gordon. The follow-up to 2007’s Brave is scheduled for release around the same time as Lopez’s romantic comedy The Back-Up Plan, in theaters April 16. As the title implies, the album is a love roller coaster, taking you through the ups and downs of a relationship. Some of the tracks we previewed were not final mixes and may change between now and release, and more songs will be added. Check out our exclusive track-by-track breakdown. 1. “Everybody’s Girl”Produced by Mike Caren, Written by Wynter Gordon It’s hard having a private life when you’re one of the most famous entertainers in the world. J.Lo questions whether her man is capable of loving her under the intense glare of the spotlight. “Can you love somebody when their everybody’s girl?” she asks over the slick uptempo production, while the hook repeats: “Can you love, can you love, can you love a girl?” One of the standout tracks, this could easily be a single. 2. “What Is Love”Produced by D’Mile, Written by Wynter Gordon A version of this song leaked online earlier this year. The latest version has been mixed and hits harder with added drums. There is a “What Is Love (Part 2)” produced by Jean Baptiste that may or may not make the album. 3. “Starting Over”Produced by Danja, Written by Wynter Gordon Jenny from the Block describes the hardships of getting back in the game after a breakup. “I’m afraid of starting over,” she sings over Danja’s fast-paced, galloping beat, while admitting she’s “still in love” with the man she left. “It’s like my whole existence he holds in his hands.” 4. “This Cannot Be Love”Produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins The beginning sounds like the chords from another Darkchild joint, Brandy and Monica’s duet “The Boy Is Mine.” It quickly picks up the pace with an electro-pop beat and speedy hook (“This cannot be love, this can’t be love, this can’t be love,” she repeats). J.Lo wonders whether true love exists. “How could something that felt so right turn so wrong? … I need to know right now,” she demands. The production gets more aggressive towards the end. 5. “One Love”Produced by D’Mile, Written by A-Plus “Took a shot with a bad boy from the block,” she croons on the leaked track. It won’t take long for listeners to make the connection to Sean “Diddy” Combs. “Mr. Wrong, he plays his part,” she says of her former music mogul boyfriend. But J.Lo is on to the next one, in search for that one true love of a lifetime. She counts her famous lovers by the numbers, #3 being Ben Affleck (“Came and swept me off my feet/ Went nowhere, but kept the ring/ Once again I’m lonely”) and her current husband Marc Anthony (“#4, you sang to me, but I’m not sure … Made me want to try once more and I couldn’t say no.”) 6. “Keeper”Produced by Danja, Written by Britney Bereal and Luke Boyd After much searching, J.Lo finally finds Mr. Right. The beat is somewhat reminiscent of T.I.’s “Hell of a Life,” which Danja also produced. “You give me so much love, you keep it locked down,” she sings on the bouncy hook. “It doesn’t matter what they tell me … That boy’s a keeper.” One of our favorites. Danja contributed another track called “Love and War” that was not played. 7. “Beautiful”Produced by Mike Caren, Written by Chris Sernel A guitar-driven ballad that sounds like it was made for a movie. In fact, it may be used during the end credits for The Back-Up Plan. “Some days I feel beautiful, just not today,” she sings on the Ryan Tedder-esque production. “Louboutins,” the first single helmed by Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, as well as the Pitbull-assisted, Neptunes-produced buzz record “Fresh Out the Oven” will also be on the album. http://www.rap-up.com/2009/12/21/album-pre...fer-lopez-love/ Quote http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf4r5f.png
zuv Posted January 3, 2010 at 04:05 AM Posted January 3, 2010 at 04:05 AM 2. Louboutins was released to iTunes this Monday. It's currently #36 on the iTunes Pop 100 Chart, and #89 on the overall iTunes Songs Chart. I can't find it on Itunes Canada. Did she only release it in the US? If yeah, thats BS, i've been waiting since her 1st performance (when she fell) to buy it... im just gonna go download it somewhere now... Why perform songs your only going to release in 6 mos ??? WTF? Quote
Lymon Posted January 27, 2010 at 10:40 PM Posted January 27, 2010 at 10:40 PM (edited) Everybody's Girl, the next international single, has leaked! Listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm6IR5dNr60 I love it, it's really hot and has a great beat! Also, for fans of How I Met Your Mother, Jennifer will be guest starring as Anita Appleby, a no-nonsense self help book author!

Lymon Posted February 23, 2010 at 09:39 PM Posted February 23, 2010 at 09:39 PM She hasn't been dropped. She fulfilled her contract and decided not to renew, so they went their separate ways. Love? won't be released, but she's rumored to be signing with Island Def Jam (Mariah and Rihanna's label). Quote http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf4r5f.png
Davey84 Posted February 23, 2010 at 10:08 PM Posted February 23, 2010 at 10:08 PM Some insiders say Lopez’s contract was up and since she fulfilled her obligation with her last two singles, it wasn’t renewed. A mutual decision was made not to go ahead with an album. Others claim Lopez was dropped by Sony due of low record sales. The Bronx-born singer/actress Lopez’s manager, Benny Medina, confirmed the split in the following statement:“Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction her career as an actress and recording artist.” Jennifer’s upcoming seventh studio album, LOVE, which had been scheduled to be released in April, is currently on the shelf. A greatest hits compilation is planned to be released by Sony this fall. Jennifer had been with Sony since the release of her Grammy-nominated debut album, On The 6, in 1999. She has sold over 48 million albums worldwide. I guess it's somewhere inbetween...

Lymon Posted February 24, 2010 at 11:49 PM Posted February 24, 2010 at 11:49 PM Love? will still be getting a release! “I am making this statement to put an end to any confusion in regards to my next album, titled ‘Love.’ I have belonged to the Sony family since the beginning of my career as a singer and together we’ve had great success. I have fulfilled my contractual responsibilities with Sony/Epic up to this point, and we have both reached friendly terms about my departure from the label. I’m also happy to say that we’ve found a new home for my album, ‘Love,’ and that it is slated for release in the summer of 2010.” Quote http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf4r5f.png
