NEED TO KNOW
Jennifer Lopez is getting in touch with her naughty side — on screen, that is.
During an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Wednesday, Oct. 15, the Kiss of the Spider Woman star, 55, teased an upcoming movie after host Andy Cohen declared, “I love a JLo rom-com.”
“I have one coming for you,” replied Lopez. “We have [a] good one coming up.”
“It’s not the typical JLo rom-com that you are used to, like the sweet wholesomeness. It’s a little raunchy. It’s like the jokes are little — think more like Knocked Up. You know what I mean? [There’s] Something About Mary,” she said, referencing the hit R-rated comedies.

The actress-singer filmed the rom-com Office Romance earlier this year, which Netflix describes as “definitely not safe for work.”
Lopez’s onscreen love interest is played by Ted Lasso Emmy winner Brett Goldstein, who co-wrote the movie with Joe Kelly.
“Every day I come to work to do a rom-com with Jennifer Lopez and this incredible cast, and I expect people to jump out and tell me I’m being pranked,” Goldstein told Netflix earlier this year. “Hasn’t happened yet, so maybe this is real?”
The film also stars Betty Gilpin, Tony Hale, Amy Sedaris and Edward James Olmos.
During the course of her career, Lopez has made several romantic comedies, including The Wedding Planner with Matthew McConaughey (2001), Maid in Manhattan with Ralph Fiennes (2003), Monster in Law with Michael Vartan (2005) and Second Act with Milo Ventimiglia (2018).

But on Watch What Happens Live, she named Goldstein as the “best kisser” after Cohen asked her about her favorite movie lip-lock.
“I’m gonna say my favorite … I just did a movie with Brett Goldstein, and I’d say he was the best kisser,” she said.
Goldstein, for his part, has praised Lopez too. “She’s brilliant,” he said during an appearance on the Today show in September.
“Me and Joe Kelly wrote [Office Romance] for her because we wanted to make an old school rom-com,” he continued. “We chose her because she’s the best one. She’s the best rom-com actor. And you work with her and you’re like, day one, you’re watching her do it and you’re like, ‘God, you’re so good at this.’ ”
Lopez is now starring in Kiss of the Spider Woman, an adaptation of the Broadway musical, in theaters now.
