Jennifer Lopez is flexing her acting muscles more than ever.
The multi-dimensional diva recently hit a home-run with ‘Shades Of Blue’ and is heading to HBO for her darkest role yet.
Full story below…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, J.Lo will executive produce and star as lead in an as yet untitled movie about drug lord Griselda Blanco.
The film focuses on the rise and fall of the figure who was widely known as “The Cocaine Godmother.” She revolutionized the US drug trade during the 1970s and 80s and became the most powerful female cartel member of all-time.
Speaking on the project, 47-year-old Lopez said in a statement:
“I’ve been fascinated by the life of this corrupt and complicated woman for many years,” The idea of teaming with HBO felt like the perfect fit for finally bringing Griselda’s story to life.”

Good on Lopez for always approaching her hustle with hunger. The role sounds intriguing too.

Lost interest in jh03 after her and her team put out “alllivesmatter” no thanks.
I lost interest in J.lo after she tried for peace and unity amongst all races with “alllivesmatter”. No thanks!
She hasn’t said s*t about race/police brutality when she tweeted “alllivesmatter” it was in regards to the orlando shooting. Don’t come into my reply section with foolishness now.
Slay a little J
Interesting. J.Lo is a decent actress so I’m sure she’ll be good in this.
Side note: congratulations to Kanye for making the top 10 men in music, that have the most top 40 hits. He just passed MJ on the list.

Kanye West has overtaken Michael Jackson in chart history after scoring his fortieth top 40 hit on the Billboard chart.
The 39-year-old rapper features on ScHoolboy Q’s new single The Part, which has climbed to number 40 on the Billboard 100.
He had previously tied with both the late Thriller hitmaker and Big Girls Don’t Cry singer Frankie Valli on 39 hits, but the latest track pushes him into the top 10 of most top 40 hits by a male artist of all time.

Please. Not here for feature artists. MJ’s record still stands.
I’m not happy about it either. Especially since a lot of collaborations in MJ’s time did not count towards these list.
Still billboard counts it now so it is what it is.
JLo is a triple threat. She was a trendsetter back in the late 90s and early 2000s. That’s why she’s Beyonce’s idol.
Tina Turner & Michael Jackson are Beyonce’s idol. According to Rihanna “Beyonce is my greatest idol” via YouTube. #Staymad
hmmmm…
Blanco was a VERY unattractive woman, so I’m excited to see her make her Charlize Theron “Monster” look debut. I see Jennifer’s serious about that Emmy nomination, so you can’t blame her for working hard and chasing her dreams.
Does this sound like a s*** at Queen of the south?
I like that show. Jlo a hustler boy i tell you her and Beyonce (Queen)
That’s the name of that show. I kept trying to think of the show with Selma Hyack where she plays a female drug lord. J.lo show will get more hype and publicity not to mention a bigger budget being that it’s on HBO.
I’ll leave this right here, because makeup does wonders

She’s never seen without a weave too. Her natural hair is extremely thin, fragile, and brittle. Check out the “Booty” video if you wanna see her real strands.
JLo is all a facade.
Yikes
Nice
Miss Jenny Been Around The Block knows all about being corrupt dahhlings!
This article made me think of Queen of the South which is my favorite summer television show right now. If you haven’t seen the show, check it out- It’s really good!
