Have you seen Jennifer Lopez’s new music video for “Papi”? It’s actually kind of cute. It reminds me a lot of that totally awesome Sandra Bullock movie, Love Potion No. 9. God, I LOVE that movie. Remember when it used to come on TV, like, every day? Anyway, Jennifer Lopez takes a bite of a magic cookie because she’s told that a small bite will bring back her “Papi”. Jennifer accidentally takes a large bite, and because of that, every single dude she comes across gets caught up in the J. Lo Tractor-Beam of Lust. Except… it’s not really lust. Because most of the guys seem like Jennifer’s gay back-up dancers.
It’s cute, right? I’m not hallucinating, right? It’s one of Jennifer’s most enjoyable videos in a while. Most of J.Lo’s recent videos have been all about luxury and excess, this one is just about Jennifer thinking she’s the hottest thing ever. Like, of course every dude out there is trying to chase her down. OF COURSE. Also, you may notice the very obvious product placement for Crown Royal, Blackberry and Fiat – that’s on purpose. J.Lo got PAID.
Below are some new photos of Jennifer on the set of her new movie, Parker. Yes, that’s Jason Statham. I don’t even know whose idea it was to put Jennifer with Jason Statham, or who thought it would be funny to put Jason in a cowboy hat. According to Coming Soon, “The movie is based on the book series by Donald Westlake which revolves around a thief who, though at times is forced to be a killer, still lives by a code of honor that includes never stealing money from people who need it. His word is his bond, and if he is crossed he will strike back relentlessly.” Sure. Jason and his gigantic cowboy hat will strike back.

I didn’t watch the whole video, but the half of it that I did watch does indeed seem to be more fun and light than her other recent videos. I absolutely hate this trend of trying to sell me things in music videos and on TV shows. The movies were always kind of a given, but they have gotten more heavy-handed with it as well. But I do love my crown and ginger:)
Right. The song is truly, undeniably bad.
The first part is hysterically like a zombie flick. I was disappointed when there was dancing instead of braaaaaiiiinnnzzz eating though 😀
In her latest videos it’s all about product placement! And I don’t know what’s worst – her singing or her acting.
Jason Statham and her in a movie is soooo wrong, Yikes!
I really like it, it’s nice to watch a video that has a funny story, really good timing, beautiful choreography, and it’s simple,with no drugs (except the cookie) or sex or blood involved, plus, product placement has always existed, it’s just a marketing technique. at least you can see it now, instead of the subliminal messages in the movies (remember cocacola?) that are forbiden now…
It was soo cute. Really fun. Like a rom-com music video. Adorable. Speaking of rom-coms glad Jen isn’t making one. Love that she is in something serious and with Jason Statham. Awesome.
Can’t stand the song, so couldn’t actually sit and watch the video.
I despise overt product placement in music videos. It becomes less about the song and more about whats being advertised.
Her agent is a wunderkind. How this untalented woman is still relevant post-2004 I will never know.
(And this song of hers is so horrible it makes me stabby.)
pheromones anyone….LOL
I can see teens watching and saying, “Hey look! The old lady judge from ‘Idol’ pretended to sing and dance in a video. Mad props for trying!”
I agree with earlier comment…it was so violent and like a zombie movie. Hated it!!! And her outfit! So bad….
holy smokes, great reference to Love Potion No. 9.
I thought I was the only one who liked that movie.
I saw the Fiat (and we all know what F.I.A.T. stands for) commercial and thought, “yeah, because EVERY man wants J.Lo.”
this vid seems like it’s an ego boost for her post-split. “see how hot I am, ex-Papi?! all the men want me!”
The video is cute, but her outfit is so horribly unflattering that I found it really distracting!
I agree very cute, funny and spot on with the “Love Potion No. 9” reference.
Ugh, during Football Sunday last week, that ridiculous and poorly acted Fiat commercial with this woman in it came on EVERY 10minutes! It was absolutely ridiculous. Much like this music video. (they were both filmed with the same footage) I’ve had enough of her
J.Lo needs to go away. She was overrated in 2003 and she is overrated now. Horrible actress, singer and famewhore.
I cannot believe that Statham is in a film with J.Lo. Ugh!
Jason Statham. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is all.
Only watched the first half. Thought it was ridiculous. The song was bad too.
All I can say is that Benny Medina is the most amazing manager to get this trick back up anywhere but its so obviously all about making as much money as possible…
I was thinking that the new Fiat was really cool until she ruined it for me…
Cute compared to her other stuff. Terrible outfit. If she was only supposed to take a tiny bite why give her a cookie the size of Texas?
Absolutely ridiculous. The clothes, the dancing, the song — Just terrible! This woman has a kick ass agent because she has ZERO talent.
Ridiculous. Staging this level of adoration for yourself in a video calls for a visit to a shrink.
It makes that Jenny From the Block video seem tasteful and restrained by comparison.
That is so funny! I said to my husband (during Monday night Football too) it reminded me of a zombie movie too. LOL. He looked at me like I had seen too many zombie movies….
I love the first photo! 🙂 That’s how I picture her – screaming and yelling her head off at someone for not doing something “right.” Such a Diva!
And I just saw them run part of the “video” on TV as a Fiat commercial.
Did Marc spend all her money on platinum coffins for his dungeon or something? Why is she suddenly in such desperately tacky search of money?
no i dont know what fiat means sowwy!
Decent video, but another awful song. Her “serious dancer” face makes me laugh every time.
Ridiculous! Gawd awful outfit too. Waaay overboard on the product placement. Cheap.
I think the video is cute and funny! Just a fun video and Jennifer looked lovely as usual.
Silliest thing I have seen in a long long time. If it hadn’t been for the hot dude at the end this would have been an awful waste of 5 mins of my life.
