So based on what Cyndi Lauper tweeted, I definitely think there's a "Girls" video coming. Not really sure how I feel about it as a single though.

What songs do you guys think will make the album? She's been throwing around a lot of song titles. These are the ones I know of:
I Luh Ya Papi
Same Girl
Girls
I Wanna Love feat Maxwell
Love Line feat Robin Thicke & Wiz Khalifa
Emotions
First Love
Worry
Never Satisfied
Let It Be Me
Did I miss any?

I think someone posted all titles in album's thread. But for sure you missed Trouble ft Big Sean, quite long ago she mentioned also No More Games For Love, I think.
Interview from her Dubai Concert at the Horse World Cup
This goes with this:
ennifer Lopez is a woman who doesn’t do anything by halves. Whereas some people are singers, J-Lo is an award-winning, chart-topping superstar who enjoys success in two languages. She doesn’t just act; in Selena she was the first Latina actress to earn more than $1 million dollars for a film, has been in more than 25 movies and is executive producer on new hit show The Fosters. She doesn’t just launch an eponymous perfume, she launches 20. And when she gets pregnant, she has twins. There’s no doubting that this glamorous 44-year-old single mother is an overachiever at every level. The question is, how on earth does she fit it all in?
Aquarius magazine's exclusive interview with Jennifer Lopez
With the American Idol star heading back to Dubai to enthral the Dubai World Cup race-goers with a concert, we managed to steal a few minutes of her time to ask her how she juggles a career and motherhood. Rather aptly, while talking to Aquarius, the star’s six-year-old twins, Emme and Max, are in the background, calling for their mother to come and read them their new storybooks. As she deftly switches between the interview and her children, she explains, “For their birthday they got the 5-Minute Stories by Disney. She got the 5-Minute Princess Stories and he got the 5-Minute Stories for Boys... so they are into that right now. They love those books. They just got them yesterday.”
It’s a wonder Lopez finds time to read to her kids between all of her work commitments. With a new season of American Idol under way, two movies scheduled to be released over the next 12 months (an animated film about aliens called Home hitting screens this year, and a feature film called Lila & Eve next year) plus a new album on the horizon, her fragrances, TV shows and everything else that comes under the Lopez brand, she must have to be very conscientious about making time for her kids.
She says, “I just do what every mum does... You give them a bath, you spend time with them, you read to them, you watch movies with them. You take them to the park and play dates. It’s just all the regular things mums do.”
It’s frankly remarkable. As supporters of all mothers, we recognise the stresses and strains of raising kids and admire the willpower of any woman who chooses to pursue a career alongside motherhood. But Lopez takes the working mother thing to a whole new level.
According to Lopez’s manager, Benny Medina, it comes down to a strong work ethic. “She got very used to just scooping those kids up and going, whether it was European fashion shows, music video sets, film locations, American Idol judging...” he says. “She likes to work. The Jennifer DNA is based on work.”
And while for some women motherhood knocks career ambition off the priority list, for Lopez, becoming a mother and realising that she was a role model for her own children made her all the more determined.
She says, “I think a lot about teaching my kids to work hard. I’ve learned something about kids – they don’t do what you say, they do what you do.” In another interview she said, “It’s this weird thing that happens where you are striving to be as good as you can be so that they turn out well. And that requires that you be a really great, evolved, aware person. Which is pretty awesome. But it’s also putting tremendous pressure on yourself – which is why women feel so guilty!”
Career woman
Guilt, or no guilt, Lopez has more career ambition in her little finger than many of us have in our entire bodies. Not only is she in the middle of another season of American Idol, where she gets to put her 15 years’ experience in the music industry to good use mentoring young aspiring artists, but her 10th studio album is to be released in the US on June 17.
Additionally, the Dance Again singer has been causing a stir online with the release of two new music videos. Same Girl was shot in the Bronx with strong references to her Jenny from the Block days, while I Luh Ya Papi sees the star shifting up the stereotypical music video scenario where women are objectified by doing the same to men. Think male models dancing on a yacht in super-small trunks, washing cars, pouring water over themselves and pretending to enjoy it... you get the idea.
If these videos are anything to go by, her upcoming album will see Lopez owning her power and not being shy about it. But according to the singer, being confident about her voice is a recent development. She says, “The biggest insecurity I had was my singing. Even though I had sold 70 million records, there was this feeling like, I’m not good at this.” She references ex-husband Marc Anthony as being a key factor in the shift. She says, “He kept telling me, ‘You’re the only one holding yourself back from reaching your full potential as a singer. You have to let go’… I was always so insecure and just kind of going along. Then I grew, little by little, and realised, wait a minute, this is not a fluke. I’m not a mistake... I know what I’m doing.”
Lessons learned
It’s this raw, open side of Lopez that makes her such an inspiration. She’s out there raising her children, loving and hurting her way through relationships – all in the public eye – while she constantly strives to push herself and her career to new levels of success, seemingly without fear. How can one person be so driven? She says it’s down to having balance in her life. “I think about all these amazing moments on stage and movie sets. Still nothing matches the joy I get when coming off stage and having my kids waiting there in the wings... That’s when my two worlds collide and I feel whole.”
As our interview comes to a close and Lopez excuses herself to return to her children’s story time, it feels like we are privy to seeing those two worlds overlapping. Gliding seamlessly from the stage to the school run, from an interview to her kids’ bedtime rituals, she’s a great example of an ambitious working mother – one who shows us it is possible to have it all, if you want it all enough.

Jennifer Lopez will be honored with the Vanguard Award at the GLAAD Media Awards
Jennifer Lopez will be honored with the Vanguard Award at the GLAAD Media Awards next month! The Vanguard Award is presented to artists and media professionals who, through their work, have increased the visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Jennifer is, as we know, one of the Executive Producers of ABC Family’s The Fosters, which is a GLAAD Media Award-nominated drama series about a lesbian couple raising a family of biological, adopted, and foster children. Jennifer has been a strong advocate of LGBT visibility in entertainment media, as well as a strong supporter of marriage equality, saying “when it comes to gay marriage, I just believe in love. I believe that when two people find each other and love each other, they should be able to spend their lives together with all the same benefits and privileges as everyone.”
“Through her work to bring The Fosters to life and by consistently speaking out as a powerful ally, Jennifer Lopez has not only sent a message of acceptance to LGBT adults and young people, but inspired new support for our community among her many fans around the globe,” said GLAAD CEO & President Sarah Kate Ellis. “Family is about love, and that’s a message Jennifer has shared with millions through her groundbreaking work on The Fosters.”
Jennifer Lopez has bested her ex-boyfriend Sean “Puffy” Combs in the contest to acquire cable music channel Fuse TV, say sources familiar with the situation.
NuvoTV, the English-language cable channel where Lopez is a minority owner and serves as the network’s chief creative offer, has reached an agreement with Fuse owner, the Madison Square Garden Company. “Things are in that 99.9 percentile,” says a source familiar with the negotiations, which began when NuvoTV reportedly offered cash and equity valued at more than $200 million.

Jennifer Lopez Appointed Chief Creative Officer of NUVOtv
Sean 'Diddy' Combs Betting Big on Revolt TV“It’s getting done,” says another source familiar with the situation.
The first source declined to discuss where NuvoTV and Lopez are getting their financing, or whether they sweetened their deal since Combs, backed by billionaire supermarket magnate Ron Burkle, had reportedly made a similar $200 million offer.
A spokeswoman for Combs referred Billboard to Madison Square Garden Company spokeswoman Kimberly Kerns, who responds: “As we have stated, we are exploring strategic alternatives for Fuse and will have no further comment.”
The assumption in the industry that Lopez and Combs, who owns the fledgling Revolt TV cable channel in partnership with Comcast, were interested in acquiring Fuse to convert the struggling network to their respective programming formats and gain access to Fuse’s 74 million cable households. (NuvoTV and Revolt reportedly reach in the neighborhood of 34 million households.)
But in an interview that took place on earlier this week, before the deal was reached, Lopez’s manager Benny Medina, in a conversation about JLo’s entrepreneurial branding strategy, said that if NuvoTV emerged the victor, there were no immediate plans to change Fuse’s format. “We do look at these channels as two different companies with two different identities, audiences and goals,” Medina said. “And these shall remain intact.”
The plan to maintain Fuse’s format for the time being may have to do with something called a “definition of service” clause that cable operators can include in their contracts with the services they carry.
According to one cable television-industry source, the clause enables operators to drop a network or decrease the fees paid for carriage if the network’s ownership or programming format changes. This could prove to be a synergistic stumbling block given that Fuse’s music-video heavy programming does not bear much resemblance to NuvoTV’s largely non-musical slate of programs, which include reruns of “Dexter” and the new boxing reality show “Knockout.”
Asked if Lopez and Combs’ competing bids for Fuse was a coincidence or a residual effect of their two-year affair that began in 1999– Combs once likened his tumultuous relationship with Lopez to Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner’s romance – Medina replied, “I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” but added that it had nothing to do with their past history.
“In many ways, Jennifer and Sean are cut from the same cloth,” Medina said. They’re both passionate artists of the same generation who think on a grand and global scale. They were two superstars seeking to build their brand, who happened to be Jennifer and Puffy.” (They're also both 44 years old.)
He says that Lopez’s transition from the recording studio to the boardroom of NuvoTV “is a conscious move” and part of a larger strategy to build businesses around her that can sustain a lot of what she does as an entertainer and actor.” In addition to her music and acting career, Lopez sells her Jennifer Lopez fashion line through the Kohl’s department store chain and collaborates with Coty on a number of fragrances.
“We’re in an age and time now where artists have to be a lot more involved, invested and creative in marketing and promoting themselves, whether its fashion brands and fragrances that speak to who they are --or a cable TV network. It’s about building a business around the art.”
Despite Lopez's evolution as an entrepreneur, Medina says her recording career has not taken a backseat. "She is working on her 10th album," he says. "Her first love is music."
