Jennifer Lopez had to calm her unruly 4-year-old twins, Max and Emme, backstage before her Friday night concert in Los Angeles, and did so without saying a word. A witness at the Staples Center event told us the kids were playing around on scooters backstage and were “speeding around the green room area and causing a ruckus, almost running over people and running into things.” Staffers were scurrying around trying to catch the twins and get them to chill out. While J.Lo is usually left alone right before she goes onstage, we’re told she was forced to come out of her dressing room and “gave Max and Emme that ‘mom’ look to reprimand them.” Our source added, “She got her kids off the scooters and back into their room.” A rep for Lopez told us: “Jennifer’s family has a private and secure area backstage at each show. Jennifer is a loving and responsible mom, she would never put her children or others in a dangerous situation.”
Here's another random Indian interview that says she will work with Pitbull again...
Quote:
“I am looking forward to working with Pitbull again, soon”
by Anita Iyer (August 22, 2012)
The 43 year old Latino singing sensation has been on a roll. In the news for a new compilation, for distancing herself from American Idol and now touring with Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez manages her multi faceted personality as only she can. In an interaction with Sound Box, she talks about what she’s lined up for the months ahead
What’s the lineup after the tour with Enrique? Would singing take a backstage for a while as you quit American Idol to go back to acting?
I think performing with the music sensation Enrique Iglesias has already made me reach one milestone of success in my life. I am thinking that maybe it’s time for me to go and do other things that I really love to do, like music and films. Yes, it would be heart-breaking but now I want to focus on the things that I love (singing and acting) which I have put on hold.
Considering you have Flo Rida on Goin’ In and Pitbull for the earlier, how do you shortlist artists to work with?
It’s definitely a pleasure to work with all of them and there is no “shortlisting process” as such. But yes, these are the people whose work I have always admired and we clicked instantly. We’ve had a lot of fun working together and that’s what counts for me.
You released a compilation of your works recently. How were the songs chosen? Wasn’t it a tedious process to fit just a few in the disc given that you have countless hits?
Definitely, it was a task choosing the songs and all of them being my personal favourites; it took our team a little while to compile the most favourite ones.
What are the best memories from American Idol as you were part of the series till you quit recently?
Well, I certainly have countless memories from American Idol. In no matter of time, we all had bonded like a family and every second that I lived there was beautiful! Each and every one of them were sweethearts and it’s very rare that you get to meet such wonderful people in your life! And honestly, I was stumped watching the performers up there on stage. Everyone out there is a rockstar! I definitely miss being back there.
Being mentor of American Idol, what is the one piece of advice you think the contestants should always follow?
Self-belief, self-motivation, focus and of course, a lot of hard work… That’s what it takes to reach up there and that’s what will help you stay up there.
Your collaboration with Pitbull – On the Floor is as infectious as it was a year back. Any plans to work together soon?
Yes, I am definitely looking forward to working with him soon. Though we have still not finalised the details yet, we are in talks and it’s definitely on the cards…
But sometimes I'll have a hit, but I'd keep them for two years, until it was the right situation and I can give it to an artist and it becomes the biggest number one in the world. "On The Floor" by J. Lo (which peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100), I had that for two years on my computer before it came out. Everybody said to me "this is going to be the biggest number one." I just felt the world was shaking. And I was waiting for the right moment, and then boom, Jennifer Lopez wanted to work with me, and I was like 'oh my god, that's the song.'
Bob Hoskins to retire following Parkinson's diagnosis
Star of Pennies from Heaven and The Long Good Friday, aged 69, thanks colleagues and fans and asks for privacy
Catherine Shoard
The Guardian, Thursday 9 August 2012
Bob Hoskins is to retire from acting following a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease last autumn, it was announced on Wednesday.
A statement issued on his behalf said: "He wishes to thank all the great and brilliant people he has worked with over the years, and all of his fans who have supported him during a wonderful career. Bob is now looking forward to his retirement with his family, and would greatly appreciate that his privacy be respected at this time."
Hoskins, one of Britain's best-loved actors, known for his gruff bonhomie, has been working for more than 30 years. He first found fame on the small screen in Dennis Potter's Pennies from Heaven, and then in cinemas as a London gangster-turned-businessman in The Long Good Friday (1980).
Hoskins had leading roles in Brazil (1985), Mona Lisa (1986), Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) and Mermaids (1990) and Super Mario Bros (1993) – which he described in a recent Guardian interview as "the worst thing I ever did".
Many will know him best for a series of adverts shot in the late 80s and early 90s for BT with his catchphrase, "It's good to talk". He teamed up with Shane Meadows for Twenty Four Seven (1997) and A Room for Romeo Brass (2000), and winning much acclaim for his role in Atom Egoyan's Felicia's Journey (1999).
Most recently, Hoskins was seen in Made in Dagenham, Snow White and the Huntsman and Outside Bet. On the set of that film, about the Wapping newspaper dispute in the mid-80s, Hoskins told the Guardian why he kept on working: "There's always someone who rings up and says: 'Now Bob, before you go, there's a cracking little swansong for you'."
But sometimes I'll have a hit, but I'd keep them for two years, until it was the right situation and I can give it to an artist and it becomes the biggest number one in the world. "On The Floor" by J. Lo (which peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100), I had that for two years on my computer before it came out. Everybody said to me "this is going to be the biggest number one."

Connor Cruise Slow-Dances the Night Away With Mystery Brunette
08/22/2012 at 12:05 PM EDT
Hanging out with new pal Joe Jonas might have given Connor Cruise some useful tips, as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's son is starting to prove he's quite the ladies man.
After taking an unidentified brunette on a bowling date earlier in the week, Cruise, 17, a budding deejay, headed to Hyde Lounge at the Staples Center last week to catch the Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez show.
Cruise tried to remain incognito, sporting black pants, boots, a Louis Vuitton belt and red hoodie sweatshirt – with the hood pulled over his head much of the time. It didn't take long for him to cozy up to yet another brunette.
Watching Lopez perform, Cruise stood behind his lady friend, his arms around her waist as she danced to the music. Cruise was all smiles and seemed to be very much enjoying her company as the two flirted and spent the rest of the show cuddling, dancing and getting close.
After the performance, Cruise and a buddy met the same girl in the hallway with her friends while he got his motorcycle helmet out and prepared to leave.
This week, Cruise is headed out of the country. "I leave for Europe tomorrow. DJ'ing in London, Zurich, and Dusseldorf! #blessed," he wrote Sunday on Twitter.

On his computer for 2 years? Figures why he's a copy/paste artist.
And he also used the same production for Kelly Rowland's "Down For Whatever", "Nayer's "Suavemente", Taio Cruz's "There She Goes", Paulina Rubios "Heat Of The Night", etx.
