J.Lo puts music on back burner

By Courtney Hazlett The Scoop msnbc.com updated 9:08 p.m. CT, Sun., Feb. 8, 2009

Jennifer Lopez is on the cusp of hitting the 10-year anniversary of her recording career, but any celebrating likely has more to do with her film and television projects. Lopez has signed on to produce the Fox television series "Rebel" ,a remake of an Argentine teen telenovela. The Hollywood Reporter describes it as being about "a pop band made up of teens who go to an elite private high school."
The singer also has a film project, "Plan B" which is moving forward now that Alan Poul has signed on to direct. "Plan B" will begin shooting in May and is slated for a January 2010 release.

What does this mean for Lopez, who has sold more than 48 million albums worldwide?
For starters it's looking like her music career is on the back burner. This is a win-win for two reasons: Both "Rebel" and "Plan B" are being produced, at least in part, by Nuyorican Productions, which she co-founded with Benny Medina, the manager with whom she recently reunited. Medina and Lopez were spotted together in Washington D.C. during the inauguration.
"As long as Benny isn't cut out of her projects, he's happy. They both benefit now. The way they see it, Jennifer doesn't have to be involved in musical projects in order for her to be successful," says a longtime business associate of Lopez's.
Also, these projects allow her to have some professional distance from husband Marc Anthony.

"Jennifer hasn't been able to be considered a real recording success since she's been with Marc," says the source. "No matter how hard she tries, she can't go back and be Jenny From the Block. Those days have passed, and it's not what Jen or Marc want. Having another film success or being behind a really great show will be better for both their careers."

This will just give her more time to get fitted for Marchesa gowns, skin chinchillas and operate her diamond mine. I'm all for the musical break!

J-Lo 'abandoning' recording career

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly decided to abandon her music career.

The 'I'm Real' singer has opted to focus on acting and producing rather than working on a new studio album, according to MSNBC.

"Jennifer hasn't been able to be considered a real recording success since she's been with Marc [Anthony, husband]. No matter how hard she tries, she can't go back and be Jenny from the Block," a souce said.

"Those days have passed, and it's not what Jennifer or Marc want. Having another film success or being behind a really great show will be better for both their careers."
The 39-year-old has signed up to produce a series called Rebel for Fox TV and star in new movie Plan B.

Lopez's fifth English-language album Brave reached number 24 in October 2007. She is expected to release a Greatest Hits collection later this year.

LMFAO. Are you still mad about what Jen does wit her money? Get over it

Anyways, something about the article seems fake.
Jennifer has always talked about how music & acting are her great passions and how she loves both equally so I really don't see her abandoning one for the other.

I hope we get an official statement or something soon ...

Chill out son. I'm not mad. I actually love and admire how Jen spends her money. I'm all about her opulent lifestyle, and to be completely honest I'd rather see her strutting around with diamonds shooting out of her ass instead of recording music or doing any acting/producing work. Being extravagant is by far her biggest talent and I admire her for it.
