Jennifer Lopez: What Makes America ‘Truly Great’

Emma JonesJennifer Lopez – lovingly nicknamed “J.Lo” by fans and music lovers around the world – is reflecting on one of the most significant moments in her music career: the Super Bowl.
The beloved superstar co-headlined the halftime show with another superstar, Shakira. And Lopez’s daughter, Emme Maribel Muñiz, also stole the show along with the hearts of music lovers worldwide with her brilliant rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s song “Born in USA.”
Muñiz performance was so breathtaking that TV reality-show superstar Kim Kardashian tweeted “Can we talk about how amazing @JLo’s daughter Emme sang on such a huge stage like the Super Bowl?”
J.Lo Shares a Behind-the-Scenes Video on Instagram
Lopez shared a video for the viewing pleasure of her more than 113.3 million followers on Instagram from a few moments before she walked out on stage to perform.
In the caption of the video, she said what she wants is “the little girls on stage with me and all over the world to know how to use their voices and be proud of everything they are.”
She added, “We are proud to recognize that all of us together is what makes this beautiful country truly great.”
She then added several tags which include #PepsiHalftime, #BorninTheUSA, #LetsGetLoud, and #SuperBowlLIV.
Before this caption, there was an earlier one which had a reference to “other people” who “try to build walls, keep us out or put us in cages.” However, this aspect of Lopez’s caption was later edited out.
Cultural and political themes ran through the veins of the Super Bowl halftime show last Sunday in a significantly unmissable way, i.e. a must-see.
Children Perform to Portray Border Crisis
The children that Lopez referenced were seen with her on stage and in structures that looked similar to cages last Sunday. Viewers came to understand that the cage-like structures were a statement that referred to the on-going border crisis.
Jennifer Lopez’s daughter, 11-year-old Emme Maribel Muñiz, also joined her lovely mother on stage, singing a solo side by side with a children’s choir, to the delight of her father and Lopez’s ex-husband, Marc Anthony, and the entire music universe.
The Grammy Award-winning artist also tweeted his undiluted support for his remarkable daughter following her performance at the Super Bowl.
J.Lo Creatively Sends a Message of Unity to the World
At one point during the show, Lopez – who is currently engaged to Alex Rodriguez – wore a feather coat which featured the American flag on one side and the Puerto Rican flag on the other.
This was a profound message of unity that the “Jenny from the Block” artist was trying to pass across to viewers all over the world.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the Super Bowl halftime show was viewed by nothing less than 103 million individuals or sports lovers via Fox, the network that aired the game.
This number accurately represents a 4 percent growth over last year’s halftime show which was headlined – at the time – by Maroon 5.
Emma Jones is known worldwide for her awesome poetry. She was birthed in Sydney and went on to school in Sydney before heading to the University of Cambridge. In the year, 2014, she was ranked as one of the Poetry Book Society's Next Generation Poets. The Weekend Australian termed her as 'one of the most exciting new voices in poetry.' She hasn't disappointed those words ever since. She has gone on tour in multiple countries, and have amassed readers far and wide.

New Adam McKay Movie Gets Star-Studded Cast
Published
2 years agoon
March 27, 2023By
Mary SmithAdam McKay is a brilliant director with his own sense of humor and intensity. The filmmaker has previously made films like Don’t Look Up, Vice, The Other Guys, and the Anchorman series. Now, the director has come up with a brand new project and a brilliant cast of great actors. The film has been rumored and talked about for months before finally being revealed. It will star the likes of Rober Downey Jr., Danielle Deadwyler, Robert Pattinson, and many other A-listers from Hollywood. What is the film all about? It’s likely going to be another one of McKay’s topical comedies. Here’s more.
Average Height, Average Build
The film is titled Average Height, Average Build. It is meant to be a total rollercoaster ride that sees the world of a serial killer. It will be a part serial killer thriller as well as a part comedy, as is McKay’s usual style. It will see the killer use the powers of political lobbyists to bring a big change in the way laws to work. Why? All so he can kill people more easily and get about his serial killer ways.
McKay has recently made films that handle and talk about many sorts of crises. Satirical comedy is his best suit and was best reflected in his last few films, including Don’t Look Up, which talked about the current climate crisis, and The Big Short, which handled the housing crisis in America. Average Height, Average Build, handles the corruption and crime crisis that has become an everyday occurrence in America.
McKay has been working on this script for quite a while. He had previously mentioned how he wanted to write a script that talked about the “big, dirty money” that the world, and especially America, is so obsessed with. He has written the script now, which he then described as a comedy film.
There are no studios attached to the film as of yet. There will probably be multiple negotiations and offers for the film as the months go on. However, actors such as Pattinson, Amy Adams, Forest Whitaker, Danielle Deadwyler, and Robert Downey Jr. are already attached to the film.
A dark political thriller is an interesting idea, but studios see it as somewhat of a risky investment with the way politics is affecting the industry right now. While Don’t Look Up was just as star-studded, it was not received very well by critics. McKay has a great sense of humor and directs these satires, but studios are cautiously approaching this topic.
For this reason, reportedly, multiple studios have already passed on the film while some others are working out whether or not they want to be attached. If the film ends up finding no studios, McKay will have no choice but to go to a streamer which means paying his actors up front.
This has been the reason a lot of previously approached actors refused to be a part of the film right off the bat. However, plenty has stayed on board, exponentially increasing the project’s potential. McKay is planning to start the filming of the movie in Boston in late summer. He has hired cinematographer Todd Banhazl. The two have previously worked together on McKay’s HBO series Winning Time.
Even though Don’t Look Up was criticized, it still picked up two nominations. One for Best Picture and one for Original Screenplay. It’s interesting to note that an ensemble this powerful and a director this renowned facing trouble to get a project going is new. Hollywood has been in a sensitive place since COVID, and that has clearly changed a lot of things.

Courteney Cox Goes Monica Mode Cleaning Hollywood Stars on Walk of Fame
Published
2 years agoon
March 23, 2023Courteney Cox is very well known by many as the iconic star of the popular 90s sitcom FRIENDS. The actress played Monica Geller, a character who was obsessed with order and cleanliness and was as competitive as it could get. Cox was recently given her own star on the Hollywood walk of fame and was joined by her friends as well as family members. It also included Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, two of her castmates from the show. She visited the walk of fame this Wednesday to clean the stars that had her and her friends’ names on them.
Courteney Was Always Monica
Cox has starred in films and shows after FRIENDS. However, it looks like her character never truly left her. Cox was recently awarded stars on the walk of fame, and now, Cox made a funny video cleaning the stars.
“Someone’s gotta do it,” she captioned the video of herself shining up her star as Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 played in the background. Was this a clever promotional job? The video featured Cox using her line of home cleaning products, Homecourt. She claims that her products are like “beauty products for the home,” well, that sounds like something only Monica could say.
Cox was often found going through people’s drawers and organizing and cleaning them on the set of FRIENDS. Now, she was seen cleaning the stars of her friends too. She would clean one and move on to another. She cleaned Reese Witherspoon’s star, who appeared in the show as Rachel’s sister before making her career in movies to come.
“Literally right on the star. You can go around!” she told pedestrians, trying to relive her time as Monica Geller on the set of FRIENDS, which aired its final and heartbreaking episode in 2004. The show had a brilliant run of ten years and made all the actors and actresses household names for everyone.
“Thanks for keeping us clean, Court!!,” said Reese Witherspoon, with Kudrow saying: “Only the best thing ever,” it’s interesting to note that Lisa Kudrow is the only leading cast member from FRIENDS not to have a Hollywood star on the walk of fame. She did, however, attend Cox’s ceremony and said kind words about her as her friend received her star. She talked about how Cox, Aniston, and she have been sisters to each other ever since they bumped into one another on the set of FRIENDS.
The cast of the show has rarely come together all at once. Last, they were seen together on Friends: The Reunion, a documentary that was an hour and a half long, where cast and crew members came together to reminisce their days of working on the show. Since then, there hasn’t been a single time when the whole cast was together.
Interestingly, the male members of the cast were also absent from Cox’s star reception ceremony. David Schwimmer has previously noted how the entire cast of FRIENDS has only been altogether only twice after the show ended back in 2004.
Regardless, it seems like Cox has kept the heart and soul of her character alive. She was the first woman to say the word ‘period’ on TV and perhaps one of the first few to normalize things like OCD and being a neat freak. Today, Cox lives on, and the memory of everyone’s favorite, Monica Geller, still keeps going.
FRIENDS, in fact, was and still is so popular that it is still making the stars millions in residuals and also making Warner Bros a lot of money.
