Jennifer Lopez Says Her New Film Has No Message
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Romance, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases, Scripts
Here’s some shocking news: Jennifer Lopez‘s new film does not have a profound message.
The 40-year-old singer and actress admits The Back-Up Plan - which tells the tale of a single woman who becomes artificially inseminated the same day she finds the love of her life - says the movie is a romantic comedy many will be able to associate with:
“It’s not a message movie. It’s a romantic comedy. It definitely deals with modern issues, which I love. When I read it, that’s one of the things I really liked about it, it had a very modern voice. It seemed very up to date. I think that’s very important for romantic comedies - that they do deal with issues. It doesn’t feel like it’s a story from 20 years ago, which some romantic comedies can be like. So, that was one of the things that really attracted me to it.”
The mother-of-two also admits the movie imitated her own life because of her pregnancy with twins Max and Emme, two. “So many things in this movie were art imitating life for me because I had just gone through the pregnancy. It was just fresh in my mind. When Kate Angelo wrote the script, she had just gone through a pregnancy as well. She came up to me and I had just signed on to the movie. I was really excited about it.”
The Back-Up Plan comes out tomorrow, April 23.

Jason Bateman Says Juno Not to Blame for Teen Pregnancies
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Fox Searchlight, Drama, Comedy
It was inevitable. Once word got out about the 17 pregnant teens at Gloucester High School, we knew the blame would start flying. We also knew the entertainment industry would eventually be named one of the responsible parties.
Somewhere out there, there are people who seriously believe that Jamie Lynn Spears has glamorized teenage pregnancies. These same people are probably not taking these two very important factors into consideration:
- I’m sure Jamie-Lynn didn’t want to be a 17-year-old mother.
- The Zoey 101 star can probably afford to raise a child, unlike a lot of teenage mothers out there. Therefore, giving her baby up for adoption might not have been a necessary option.

Toni Collette is Pregnant
Posted by Shannon Bennett Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
Excuse me? How did we miss this? Since when is a celebrity able to announce her own pregnancy?
We’re not saying this is a bad thing, and I’m sure Toni Collette is grateful not to have been photographed from three dozen angles with newspaper headlines speculating “Son or Sandwich?” But still, where was Toni’s bump watch? The incredibly talented star of films like Little Miss Sunshine and In Her Shoes may be unconventional, but surely a few magazines in this pregnancy-crazed post 9/11 universe should’ve been all over that story.
In any sense, on September 7th Toni announced at a performance of her band, Toni Colette and the Finish, that she was expecting. Congratulations to Toni on what shall surely be a very talented child.
