Lopez continues on a hot streak, earning a second Golden Globe nomination for “Hustlers” (she was up in 1998 for her breakout in the “Selena” biopic) and headlining Super Bowl LV halftime with Shakira, which drew some 103 million viewers. Lopez is always driving the entertainment zeitgeist, whether hitting the runway in forward fashion— perhaps re-wearing her iconic Versace dress from the 2000 Grammys— or bidding to buy the Mets with her beau, baseball icon Alex Rodriguez. Lopez somehow found time to debut a Coach campaign in 2020 while juggling her roles as executive producer and judge on NBC’s “World of Dance” season 4. The show is produced by her Nuyorican Productions, also behind her 2021 big-screen return, “Marry Me,” in which Lopez stars opposite Owen Wilson and contributes original music, as well as crime-thriller feature “The Cipher” for Netflix, in which she will play an FBI agent hunting a serial killer.
