Jennifer Lopez is reportedly planning to give fans around the world a taste of her live performances with husband Marc Anthony -- by going on tour with the salsa singer.
Lopez and Anthony, who exchanged nuptials last June, performed together for the first time on Sunday, when they sang a Spanish-language duet at the Grammys, and now sources say they plan to hit the road together.
Curvaceous beauty Lopez is already set to accompany her husband on a brief tour of Spain at the end of the month, if she is feeling better, and now Anthony is reportedly trying to persuade her to join him on a more extensive tour later in the year.
A source tells magazine Us Weekly, "He wants to do it, but she has been trying to see if it is the right thing. Jen's people have advised her not to because it's bad for her career. She's too mainstream to tour with him. He needs her, but she doesn't need him."
From all reports though, the reception to their Grammy perfomance was luke-warm. I don't think a tour would work, their music styles are pretty far apart, J-Lo has all the dancing and rappers and stuff in her music, Marc is more ballads and whatever. It might be a bit wierd.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to Co-star in EL CANTANTE
The couple will team up for a movie based on the Latin singer Hector Lavoe’s life
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will be soon husband and wife on the big screen as well. The two singers are teaming up for the indie biopic "El Cantante", directed by Leon Icasho ("Pinero").
The movie tells the story of one of the biggest Spanish-language singers of the 1970's, Hector Lavoe, who was harmed by personal tragedy and heroin addiction and died penniless from AIDS-related complications.
According to Production Weekly, Lopez will play Puchi, the wife of Hector Lavoe, portrayed by Anthony.
Shooting is set to begin next month in New York City and Puerto Rico.
Jennifer Lopez, who is currently shooting the film "Bordertown" with Antonio Banderas, also works on Tick Tock and WWII musical - based drama American Darlings, with Nicole Kidman already swimming down the pike.
J-Lo has last appeared in the drama "An Unfinished Life" with Robert Redford.
Marc Anthony's acting credits include the film "Man on Fire" and a cameo in the drama "Carlito's Way."
They are quite sickening together at the moment, doing heaps of promo together and looking very loved-up. It's cute, but they have married for a while now, surely J-Lo is bored already and time to move on?
