These thirst tweets have Jennifer Lopez’s jaw on the floor!!

Art imitating life! Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to the rom-com, but her latest film, Marry Me, is a lot more personal than much of her previous work.

"I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him," says Lopez, sounding not unlike a starry-eyed teenager. Marry Me, which is released today, sees her playing a singing superstar who is jilted at the altar, prompting her character to wed a random fan: a maths teacher played by Midnight In Paris star Owen Wilson. Happily inching toward tying the knot with Affleck in the real world, she looks back on her own broken romantic dreams and sees much of herself in her character isolated by fame and struggling to find true love.

Thirst tweets can get intense.

Double threats! Musicians can top the charts and dominate their industry, but their artistry is taken to another level when they break into acting.

Lynda Lopez resigns from WCBS 880 “to pursue ‘a once in your lifetime’ opportunity outside of the media and news field,” according to news director Tim Scheld. Jennifer Lopez’s news broadcaster sister, known for anchoring the midday news, might be changing career paths. Although her plans are unknown, people think there are possibilities of becoming a singer or actress.

Jennifer Lopez knows a thing or three about media harassment and being in the public eye 24/7, but that only makes the far-fetched romantic comedy Marry Me seem even less tolerable or redeemable than it might have looked on paper. In its opening minutes, this slickly made, music-drenched concoction serves up a premise so massively implausible — that one of the hottest female singers on the planet would replace her cheating macho fiancé in front of a live TV audience with an ineffectual single dad math teacher in his 50s — that it can never recover. It is, in two words, perfectly preposterous.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticThe romantic comedy as we know it has been through four phases. It was born with “It Happened One Night” (1934), and the glory of the classic romantic-comedy period (Hepburn and Tracy and so on) was the ’30s and ’40s, though it extended into the ’50s with a movie like “Pillow Talk.” The form enjoyed a cultural resurgence starting in 1989 and ’90, with the release of “When Harry Met Sally” and “Pretty Woman.” You could call that the Age of Nora Ephron, since she kind of ruled over it; the fact that that era spawned the term “rom-com” says a lot about how love comedies, in their born-again popularity, were becoming a kind of consumer product.
