I love it when Jennifer performs with the guys. Now that we know all three are returning for Season 15, hopefully they will continue the tradition next year!

Back It Up on iTunes Now!

Lots of musical collaborations are coming to fruition! Jennifer Lopez is featured on the Spanish version of Prince Royce’s “Back It Up”, and it was just released on iTunes! Listen and download it on iTunes now! The track also features one of Jennifer’s favorite musical collaborators, Pitbull! Prince Royce is performing on the American Idol finale, so maybe Jennifer will join him on stage?

Jennifer also has a track on Finding Neverland: The Album, an album featuring reworked songs from the current Broadway musical, Finding Neverland. Jennifer sings “What You Mean To Me” with Trey Songz. You can listen to a preview on FindingNeverlandTheMusical.com. It sounds so beautiful! The album will be released on June 9.

Shades of Blue / American Idol News

NBC has announced that Jennifer’s new show, Shades of Blue, will premiere mid-season (so, probably early next year). Shades of Blue is a provocative new drama, starring Jennifer as a sexy New York detective (and single mother) named Harlee Santos. Harlee fell in with a tight-knit group of dirty cops, taking bribes and protection money that she used to provide the best life for her honest and talented daughter. When she’s trapped by the FBI, however, and forced to inform on her own “brothers,” she’ll have to walk the fine line between love, loyalty, honor and betrayal, and try to keep it together for her daughter’s future. The cast also includes Ray Liotta, Warren Kole, Dayo Okeniyi, Drea De Matteo, Hampton Fluker, Vincent Laresca and Sarah Jeffery.

In other TV news, FOX has announced that American Idol will end next season, after 15 seasons. Jennifer, Harry Connick Jr, and Keith Urban will continue with the show next season, for what is being described as a “season-long celebratory event.”  It will certainly be the end of an era, but we have tons of other JLo-related things to look forward to in the next year!
