It’s hard to believe that just a few years ago, Jennifer Lopez was literally one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. She seemed well on her way to becoming the new Julia Roberts… and then she dated Ben Affleck.

Affleck has recovered from their relationship by marrying someone better and getting his face out of our faces by stepping behind the camera to become a surprisingly promising director. Lopez on the other hand, simply dropped out of sight. She hasn’t worked since El Cantante in 2006, a terrible film which, lucky for her, nobody saw. You’d have to go back to 2005 to find her in anything audiences noticed.

Well I hope you’ve enjoyed your Jennifer Lopez free life, because the party’s over. She was supposed to be in a movie called The Governess for Yari, but with the Yari Film Group declaring bankruptcy who knows when or if that’ll actually happen. Variety says however, that she’s certain to rear her rear in a new movie called Plan B, shooting this coming spring for CBS Films. I wonder if the name is a metaphor for her career? Oh the irony.

Plan B will star Lopez as a single woman whose ticking biological clock pushes her into resorting to artificial insemination. On the day she finds out she is at last pregnant, she also meets the man of her dreams. I liked this premise better when it was a comedy and it starred Tina Fey. Does Jennifer need a baby mama? Amy Poehler just left SNL, she may be available.
