Diva Jennifer Lopez will be making a return to the music scene much earlier than anticipated. Following her departure from long-time label Epic, which was followed by her swift signing to Island Def Jam, a “late 2010” release window had been announced as the frame in which to expect new Lopez material.
However, it has been revealed today that the 40 year old mother of two is set to feature in Taio Cruz‘s video for new single ‘Dynamite’, which has been remixed to include vocals from her too.
More after the jump…
As per All Headline News…
It all started when Taio Cruz tweeted and then subsequently removed, “Would you guys prefer a ‘Dynamite’ video featuring just me or a version with a massive female star duetting?”
If the answer is Jennifer Lopez, then yes. Lopez, who recently killed performances at the World Music Awards and the MTV Movie Awards, became the female star in question, after dancers let slip that they were cast in a music video for Cruz and his new Island/Def Jam labelmate Lopez.
Choreographers and frequent Lopez collaborators Napoleon and Tabitha, or Nappytabs, also revealed that they’re set to work on Lopez’s new video.
The track is Cruz’s single “Dynamite,” which is already #3 on iTunes behind Eminem and Katy Perry’s latest. Cruz will release a Part 2 of the already chart-busting single featuring Lopez.
This is no doubt brilliant strategy on the part of Island Def Jam. It went without saying that any team handling the former chart-topper would have an uphill struggle trying to re-establish her relevancy in the contemporary music scape. After all, folk just weren’t gravitating to her as they once did (see: ‘Louboutins’, ‘Fresh Out The Oven’, and her other blink-or-you-miss-it releases of late). Hence, tacking her on to a song which is already a hit, not only guarantees her airplay, it also ensures her heightened relevancy. It’s also a particularly good look for Taio – whose long-term chart prospects would benefit greatly from a collaboration of such maginitude.
Now, all Ms. Jenny From The Block needs to do is serve up is a killer dance break in the video and I’m won LOL.
MMMMMMMMMMM JLO U KILLIN DEM IN THAT DRESS MAMA!!!!!!!!!
===========================================================
CIARA- BASIC INSTINCTS IN STORES AUGUST 17TH!!!!!!!!!
ALL THAT ASS! DAMN! But J.LO needs to stay away from that Dynamite song, I really like it and I would prefer if she kept her vocals off it

===============================================================
CIARA- BASIC INSTINCTS IN STORES AUGUST 17TH!!!!!!!!!
FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE GONNA GET DROPPED AGAIN. LA REID IS A MORON.
It’s not the best look for Taio…
Ppl are going to start to think is he going to be able to hold a hit (longevity wise) that’s not a remixed song with a established feature artist.
Especially if they release “Dirty Picture” (which I thought was the 2nd US single) as the 3rd official US single! [wit Ke$ha]
Anywho, go Jenny-LO!

Her career was over years ago, she’s still got her stripper ass so she can make some cash in a few strip joints I suppose.
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
LOL, look whos trying to stay Relevant. Give it up mah.
I watched that behind the Music mess, & that man had the nerve to call J H** the “BEST Fully rounded Entertainer”~ Yeah Right. That would be Beyonce. Jlo is a great dancer (In her Prime atleast) but thats all she has on Bey if that. She can act but not all that much better than Bey & Bey can actually sing & has raw talent Plus she has a stronger Film Resume & has played in more fulfilling roles & been in way better critically acclaimed films & has had a more fulfilling career. The truth is Beyonce is The BEST Fully rounded Entertainer of our time. Can actually Dance, Act & Sing puts out way better music, is more successful & all of that.
JLO’s Career is done, Presto. I hope she enjoyed Selena & Enough while it lasted.
Jlo been in the game since what 1990 & is still not an Icon, shes some what of a legend though, somewhat but No. Shes just not hot anymore. Shes been faded away years ago. Give it up mah.
@ BEYDABESS
Just Ignore them, that Bey Pic is FLAWLESS.
i think this is the time of JENNIFER LOPEZ because she is the real diva and the best of them all.go my j lo.
Got to remember that music was only ever a second career for JLo, but even so it was a pretty successful second career – 16 Top 20 hits in the UK (12 in the Top 5) and even recently she’s had a string of #1s on the US Dance / Club chart. OK her voice isn’t that strong and I don’t think she write’s her own songs, but I’ve enjoyed her music over the years, especially her earlier stuff. Guess Def Jam must have signed her for a reason – so I’m hoping for some good new material.
this is the of jennifer lopez she is the real diva and the best of them all .go go my sweet jlo.
^^ I actually used to be a JLO Fan like back in 03/04 when I was 14 & looking back Im Like… Im Wondering why I ever liked her, her movies or her music. listening to even snippets of her old stuff is worse & lamer than listening to old DC3 Songs. IDK why I was ever a fan, her music is bubblegum trash to me now. She just doesnt have it anymore, cant sing or dance at all these days & her music as of late is not very good. shes trying but I dont see a comeback in her future. she hasnt been hot since 05.
@S***
Yeah of course as you grow you get into other stuff as your music sense matures, but I’ve still got an affection for the people I used to be really big fans of. Remember buying ‘If You Had My Love’ as a CD single when I was like 12, then trying to do all the dance moves off the video.
J.LO IS BACKKKKKKKKKKKKK ! I MISS HER . CAN’T WAIT. GREAT IDEA OF DEF JAM !
Let’s see what she does hoping for a real strong dance break she gotta go above and beyond !!!! Let’s go Jen u still got love ova here in the bk this rican loves u till the end
@S*** BEYONCE THE BEST ALL ROUND ENTERTAINER one word LMFAO beyonce cant f****** dance or act and her clothing line is tacky as f*** And what kind of air head asks to be a Icon? Beyonce is a f****** wannabe she is so over- rated people are getting bored of beyfakes fake padded a***!!! and weave
Jennifer is a f****** Living walking Icon so she aint had a Hit in the US for a few years Her spanish album was a Smash and broke records,Made History again! Brave flopped but so what??
Jennifer has Made History by been the only artist to have a Number 1 album/movie same week NO other artist has achived this…. Were does this leave your faves? Aka beyonce -_-… people still try to achive this and Fail LOL
Jennifer is the Most Influentual Latina In the US and the most success female Latina In hollywood She is a Made Icon And looked up by many
Even her perfume line has made over 1 billion
She always has people wanting she is a record breaking Icon and I cant wait for her comeback
The all round entertainer the true tripple threat is coming after your faves!!!
Whaaaaaaaat!?! This song is great as a solo song. It will help sell albums, unlike collaborations, which sell singles. Taio does not need J.Lo. But she needs him.
Urgggh, big mistake!
Did u all c VH1 BEHIND THE MUSIC. The one thing she is not irrelevant. Of Corse she is not as popular as she was, but she had a great career in music and can still sell to somebody. Not to mention she makes some pretty good movies. Now beyonce rihanna usher monica and some others are my peeps but will not be on top forever. No one is. Will that mean tier accomplishments should be dismissed?
@ I OWN U
great points. it amazes me how people throw around the word flop. they really have no idea what that means.
@ I Own You
1(ONE) Word: DE-LUS-IONAL
LMFAO @ Bey is over-rated, Just where the F*** is she rated anyway?? if anything shes UNDER-RATED. SHES FAR SUPERIOR TO J-H** EVEN IN HER PRIME. Like I said BEY CAN SING & I MEAN REALLY SING!!, CAN DANCE (DANCING IS DANCING H** & SHES DAME GOOD AT IT) & CAN ACT,sure she not the best at it but hell JLO is no Elite Actor either, Bey is just as good, Bey can Act. PERFORMER OF OUR GENERATION. JLO is IRRELEVANT, Shes old news, shes disposable & forgetable & has down nothing ground breaking (except Selena). Bey is better & WAY MORE SUCCESSFUL than JLO in EVERY way. Bey was nominated for 2 golden globes, won 16 grammys, & grossed more than 400 Million in the Box Office Now what has MS. Jennifer done?? LMAO, I needed that.
BEYONCE IS A GROWING ICON. JLO NEVER was & will NEVER be one.
JLO is a Tired & irrelevant FLOP, a complete JOKE. (Did you hear that recent clip of her trying to sing without studio aid?? She cant even see Britney Spears, A MESS LMAO.)
looking totally forward to hear Jennifer’s version. I think the video will be amazing. She always look hot as hell. It is a great idea to make Taio famous. Right now he is a one hit wonder but with Jen on his side he will be getting more famous and relevant. Hopefully the new Lopez mix of the song will leak this week!!!!!!!!
@S***
Why does it have to be so polarized? – Either an Icon or a Joke / Flop? Of course B is better (well in your and my opinion for sure), but that doesn’t mean lesser artists are jokes or flops.
Just f*** off haters .. this jenny from the block she is relevant she is a triple thread don try to compare it to f***** Beyonce or anyone esle coz she is unique in everything she made history …Good collabo !!!!!!!!!! go DEF JAM
LMAO@ LOL HOW DUMB ARE U SAMA
TRENTIA F**** ANIMALS YUP
@S***
Sorry, not trying to have a go as you often seem to think along the same lines as me, but why do things have to be so polarised – like why is it ICON or FLOP? I agree with you that Beyonce is a bigger star than JLo was even in her day and that she has a better voice etc, but JLo did have a number of hits and did sell millions of records and millions more people enjoyed her on MTV and radio. I’m not saying you’re doing it more than anyone else, but it just seems lots of people just say this person I like is great and this person I don’t like is a total loser. Surely in reality its like a spectrum – you’ve got a small group of people right at the top, then right at the bottom you’ve got the true no-hopers who can’t sing, can’t dance, have no personality and never get a contract – now on that kind of scale I’d put JLo well past the 80% towards the top mark. Sorry for the rant, just seems sometimes I’m the only person who actually likes quite a lot of the artists on the scene – can’t really think of anyone who I don’t at least like one track from.
@ s*** a typical f****** deluded beyfat fanatic
Your comments was f****** weak and you really aint got a clue about anything… Jennifers Films have grossed in exess of 1 billion, she also has a golden globe nom. she aint won a grammy but she has 4 noms to her name!
Like I said she is the Only female to hold the number 1 spot on both the Music and Movies charts the same week… So many has tried so many has failed and Come the f*** of it beyonce’s film has earned 400 million thats because Dreamgirls and Austin powers and Pink panther was f****** huge studio movies with Top actors that draw people to the cinema, Sorry to burst your bubble but beyonce does and can not carry a film
Obsessed
fighting temps
CR
All had beyonce’s name carrying the film all f****** flops
Beyonce has had more music success then Jennifer thats all
JLo has achived….
The Only Artist to have a number 1 movie and album top the charts together
The first remix album to top the US charts (3rd all time biggest selling remix album)
The Highest first week sales for spanish debut
One of 7 spanish artist to debut in the top 10 on the Billboard charts with a spanish album
one of a few performers to have there first 6 album debut in the top 10 on the Billboard charts
The highest paid latin actress in History
and the richest hispanic enterainer in the US
Her Perfume glow made history by becoming the number 1 perfume in more then 9 countries on its release her perfume line has gone onto make in excess of $1 billion
She has appeared on the 10 top actors salarys 4 times!
She was the first Latina to recive a $1 million dollar pay check
She changed the way women are looked upon in hollywood
4 US number 1 Singles
3 US number 1 Albums
14 US top 20 hits
24 Number 1 singles in total on the entire billboard charts – (Pop,latin,dance charts etc)
16 top 10 hits in the UK
6 Worldchart number 1 singles
2 worldchart number 1 albums
5 US number movies
3 number 1 singles on the Eurocharts
aint it funny spending 12 straight weeks on top of the Eurocharts in 2001
So you see Jennifer Made History sealed and stamped she is the triple threat she the one that started all the empire stuff with the music and movies and perfumes and clothing line and Now every one copies
even beyonce wears b*** pads she ripped of jennifers persona and style shame beyfate just needs to step away from the movie set and she cant dance for s***
Jennifer will always be the Bigger and better artist No matter how Much and Beyfat fans say so Beyonce is a f****** t***** all she got is dancing and acting like a w****
JLO = MEGASUPERSTAR WITH STYLE AND CLASS
OH AND DID I MENTION JENNIFER IS THE ONLY FEMALE TO BE VOTED THE WORLDS SEXIEST WOMEN BACK 2 BACK
AND HER LEAD SPANISH SINGLE WAS THE ONLY SPANISH SONG TO GET TO NUMBER 1 ON TRL
WHEN ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE WORLD GONNA ACTUALLY LOOK AT BEYONCE AS THIS S** SYMBOL? LMAO NEVER…
Beyonce music is f****** s*** and dead @ s*** pre-t*** music like single ladies and videophone
beyonce needs to stop sucking her camel faced honeys d***! And we all know Beyonce uses Payolar she flops in the UK with some horrible songs yet they are hits in the US lmao
I rember A dj playing Ring the Alarm and he stopped the track half way through and said I cant stand beyonce and this song is f****** s*** LMAO in a club 2 Ouch!!!
As far as performing goes J-Lo & Screechyonce are on the same level they can both dance there fat asses off, even though they both swaggajack Janets moves.
On the singing front obviously Screechyonce wins.
Acting wise J-Lo is definently more natural infront of the camera.
so…….. make of that what you will.
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
Sorry but anyone at this point in time saying JLO is bigger than B is just a fool.
There’s a reason RS and Billboard called B the female artist of the decadem (and called her the Queen B – because, remember, we stans/fans weren’t the first to name her that) but I won’t go into it, because I still have so much love for JLO. Just know that B has broken a lot of records too – and she has more awards and commendations.
Anyway, I can’t wait for this. And I cannot wait for the performances, cause JLO SLAYS live.
😀

If B actually said that I wonder why she said it???
‘Dynamite’, ?????????
A DECADE OF HITS———–???
I had to look up that quote from Latina mag as I wasn’t sure if it was true or not, but it seems it is – she said “I’m just jealous that I wasn’t born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful.” Now not being American I’m not sure about this, but isn’t Latina more a cultural tag than a racial one? – like can you be Latina and black if you were born Spanish speaking?
hey guys On the radio ft david guetta is on its first week peaked #5 on the radio charts here in lebanon 🙂 Go JLO don ever compare Bee and Kaka those porno star to the queen JLO
I don’t understand why Beyonce’s name keeps popping up!!I thought this was a Jennifer Lopez -Taio Cruz blog!! Anyway I’d like to see her again.Not the best voice but definitely an original. Remember she’s the one doing the high heels and mimi skirts first (If you had my love)!!!
People i have just saw the VH1 behind the music episode of jenny in the first part of it u saw jennifer in the studio recording a song called DYNAMITE i saw the word on the paper this is totally true OMG …
TAIO CRUZ & JENNIFER LOPEZ ON DYNAMITE!!!!!!! SET TO PREMIERE ON JULY 17!
ahhhhhhhhh cant wait…!
TAIO CRUZ & JENNIFER LOPEZ ON DYNAMITE!!!!!!! SET TO PREMIERE ON JULY 17!
ahhhhhhhhh cant wait…!
really omg i cant wait for new song and video
lol @ some copyonce fans oh sorry i mean beyonce fans trying hard to deny true facts, U mad ? lol !!!!!!
Beyoncé is not better than Jennifer, the only reason why she was so relevant in her days because she was Jay'”z wife to be who wastes money for bying her some oscars and grammys and the whole success (( what a shame lol )) no one can accept to do the same thing honestly, even her father said he knows enough people who can help her daughter to shine and she was stealing stuff from other singers but when gaga comes, no more beyonce.
Beyonce used to dream of having a career like J-Lo but at least Jennifer is original and a true triple threat, ya she doesn’t have the strongest voice but she can sing, and many people love her adorable voice, beyonce can sing too but screams a lot and many people hate her voice, it seems like some funny jerks wanna say that she’s Celion Dion herself, lol .
well ! everyone thinks her idol is better no doubt and there’s something important to say, we freaky know that awards or sellings don’t cost an artist. There are so many successful artists don’t have the same awards and highest selling as others who have nothing on music or movies. In brief, Jennifer is original, both are famous in music and have great peaks and pits but trust me most of people still don’t know thaat Beyoncé is an actress like Jennifer and of course they know Beyoncé is not a dancer or a great performance like Jennifer.
these are all clear facts, that everybody knows about and lol at some stupid jerks who use different names hahahaha … big deal !! btw what are you doing here Bee’s fans, if you didn’t know that Jennifer is dangerous, you wouldn’t come, you have an obsession lol !! we don’t care about your unoriginal s***. lol !!!!
oh !! if you were not mad, you would not post some stupid remarks lol !!!!!!
Beyonce stans are just crazy trashing every other female artists out there. Karma for her that her recent singles are flops and her album sales are on a downward trend over the years. Trashonce is nothing but an overrated piece of s***
