Jennifer Lopez is West Side Story’s Anita

Jennifer Lopez portrays defiant Latina immigrant Anita and helps re-create scenes from the beloved 1961 film version of West Side Story.

The 39-year-old singer/actress watched the film “37 times” as a kid growing up in the Bronx. Says Lopez, “I never wanted to be that wimpy Maria, who sits around pining for her guy. I wanted to be Anita, who danced her way to the top.”

West Side Story is currently playing on Broadway. Tickets available now!

In semi-related news, Jennifer was/is rumored to be involved in the big screen adaptation of the Broadway hit In The Heights.

Puerto Ricans arent immigrants. get your facts right

Why does she always hide her twins away? She never stays home with them it seems. Why have babies if you don’t want to take care of them.

Her face is flat like my Shi-Tzi puppy. That makes her a dog right?

She’s trying to revive her dead career, hoping they will remake this movie because it is the only film Hollywood would dare offer her. It is so over for this woman, unfortunately, she is too dumb to realize it. Nothing sadder than a has-been trying to stay relevant.

Fat & Ugly. Next…

Too bad it’s not true, but she would make an awesome Anita. She has that fiery hotness about her. Jlo come back, I want to see you in a real good movie.

Cottage cheese in a tight dress is not a good look, sorry.

She looks very beautiful

She needs to stay out of the limelight now that she is no longer an A-Lister, and take care of her children.

She is an A-lister whether you like it or not.

Wow, she really does a great job at being Anita. Just wondering theough, is JLO actually playing her in the current Broadway show?

Okay no… now I realise she is not after seeing Camilla Belle’s photoshoot. Its purely a photoshoot.

robet pattinson and chris evans are also in this shoot but jared hasnt put up the rest of the pics.
