She loves to straddle the fence between music and movies, and Jennifer Lopez will once again appear on the silver screen in the forthcoming “The 33.”

Based on the true story of the 33 Chilean miners who spent 69 days trapped in a collapsed shaft, the movie will also star Antonio Banderas, Martin Sheen, and Rodrigo Santoro.

On the production end of things, Mikko Alanne and Jose Rivera will handle the writing duties, and Patricia Riggen has signed on to direct.

“The 33” will be the first big screen project for J. Lo since she starred alongside Jason Statham in “Parker” back in January.

She’s no stranger to daring wardrobe choices, but Jennifer Lopez may have gone too far with her skimpy attire and sexy dance movies during her performance on “Britain’s Got Talent” last night (May 28).

The “Waiting For Tonight” songstress took the stage and sang her new single “Live It Up,” however after the dust settled, network execs were busy fielding complaints.

One viewer tweeted, “#BGT does #jenniferlopez realize it’s a family show – only thing missing was the pole – cover up your cheeks please!” while another wrote, “Watching Jennifer Lopez was almost porn.”

A rep from television regulation company Ofcom told press, “Ofcom can confirm that it has received complaints about the Britain’s Got Talent broadcast last night, which we are assessing but not currently investigating.”

Jennifer Lopez is expanding her business empire and as always is making sure she looks amazing doing it.
The singer shone in an all white look in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Wednesday as she launched her new venture – a mobile phone retailer.
JLo announced that in addition to her busy singing career she is now also the face of Viva Movil, a mobile retailer targeting Latino customers.
Joining forces with Verizon, the co-founder and creative director of the company launched the new retailer’s website on Wednesday at the Venetian Casino and announced stores will soon roll out across the country.
The stores will be staffed with bilingual employees, but the phones and plans sold by Viva Movil are the same as Verizon’s.
Despite already having a lot of balls in the air – JLo has her singing and acting career as well as clothing and fragrance lines – the mother-of-two did not look at all tired as she confidently strode onto the stage to announce the new retailer.

Jennifer Lopez is getting into the mobile business.

The star is the chief creative officer and majority owner in Viva Movil, a mobile retailer working with Verizon Wireless to target Latino customers.
Viva Movil will have its own stores, complete with bilingual staff, hands-on time with devices and dedicated play areas for kids. The first store will open in June at “a busy intersection” in New York with at least 15 planned this year in cities including Los Angeles and Miami.
Lopez said the U.S. Latino market represents $1.2 trillion in purchasing power and, on its own, would be equal to the world’s 14th largest country.
“We do things differently, including how we shop for wireless devices,” Lopez said at a press conference with Verizon at the CTIA trade show in Las Vegas. “We will provide a new customer experience.”
In addition to the forthcoming stores, Viva Movil is also selling online, at a website that went live on Wednesday. The site lists a range of devices including top Verizon phones such as the iPhone 5, Galaxy S III and Droid Razr Maxx. The plans are typical Verizon ones, including shared data plans and both contract and no-contract plans.
Lopez also promised a social shopping experience, including integration with Facebook.
And, of course, there will be some JLo-crafted accessories. Down the road, Viva Movil may do custom devices but for now it will use those already carried by Verizon.
In addition to Lopez, Viva Movil is a partnership with wireless company Brightstar and Moorhead Communications — the largest of Verizon’s premium retailers with 850 stores. Verizon is the exclusive wireless provider but doesn’t own a stake in Viva Movil.
Lopez was joined onstage by Verizon COO Marni Walden.
“We hope to be the most exciting thing that comes out of CTIA,” Walden said.
