Jennifer Lopez: ‘We’re realizing our power’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jennifer Lopez says Latinos in the United States are starting to realize their power in politics and media, making the timing good for her latest undertaking: lobbying for greater diversity in TV programming.
The entertainer spoke Wednesday at the Cable Show, a communications convention, ahead of new programming set to launch July 18 on the NUVOtv network. Lopez serves as chief creative officer of the English-language Latino channel.
“It’s an extension of who I am as an artist,” she said about her new role in an interview with The Associated Press. “As I grow in this business – I’ve been in the business close to 20 years now – that creative spark that you have doesn’t go away. It keeps growing almost.”
Lopez said that working behind the scenes is just as rewarding as performing, if not more.

New Girl Recap: Holiday Dump Fantasy

New Girl sailed into its holiday break with an episode full of drama. Plots were advanced, couples broke up and reunited, characters learned things about themselves, Winston got a cranberry stuck in his ear — heck, there was even a musical number.
It’s like the show was determined to sear itself into our memory so that we don’t all forget about it between now and the second week of January, when it returns. It mostly achieved that goal with passionate speeches and heart-to-heat chats. New Girl’s never shied away from emotion, but last night may have been the most emo episode yet. Every few minutes, one character looked deep into the eyes of another and, trembling, confessed something from deep within his or her soul.

Hollywood studios pump big money into big movies hoping for even bigger rewards, but if you redistributed the $250 million budget of The Lone Ranger, one of this season’s most notorious underperformers, you could finance every single one of this summer’s studio comedies, all but one of which were profitable. They may not sell a lot of toys (though we’d totally buy a This Is the End devil doll, complete with swinging dick), but comedies are good for a studio’s bottom line, and this summer, the freshest formulas paid the most dividends. After yesterday’s analysis of the past season in action blockbusters, here’s a closer look at the six big studio comedies that came out this summer and what their healthy box-office haul might mean for summers to come.
