Lopez to Put Music Career on Hold
Posted by
Jennifer Lopez is putting her music on the back burner in a bid to launch a new career as a TV and film producer.
The Jenny From The Block hitmaker – who’s on the cusp of hitting the 10-year anniversary of her recording career – is said to be keen to get some “professional distance” from her Latin singer husband Marc Anthony.
“Jennifer hasn’t been able to be considered a real recording success since she’s been with Marc,” a source tells MSNBC. “No matter how hard she tries, she can’t go back and be Jenny From the Block. Those days have passed, and it’s not what Jen or Marc want.
“Having another film success or being behind a really great show will be better for both their careers.
Lopez, 39, has signed on to produce the Fox television series Rebel, a remake of an Argentine teen telenovela about “a pop band made up of teens who go to an elite private high school.”
Jennifer is also set to be a producer on new film Plan B, which will be directed by Alan Poul. It will begin shooting in May and is due for release in January next year.
