Yeah, me too. Except my arms wouldn't be crossed, I would be unable to voice words that have any sort of meaning. my whole body would be uncontrollably shaking and I would be horizontally cheering (grace will understand)

There's been lots of speculation about the reasons for the ever-changing release date, with one of the factors being the release of J Lo's new album, well now there's a new complication in the mix. The article is from DHD:
Jennifer Lopez and Sony Music Split (click on link for full aricle - here are a few pertinent pieces)

Jennifer Lopez has spent most of her singing career at Sony Music Epic Records. The bland version of what happened, I’m told, is that the contract period had ended and that Lopez had fulfilled it with her last two singles, and that Lopez and Stringer decided together not to move forward with an album. Others insist the Sony label dropped her. There also is disagreement on how finished her upcoming album was before it was canceled. Internet reports say her 7th studio album, titled "Love?", was supposed to come out in April...

...

Lopez insiders claim to me the album was "by no means done" and everyone was "only a few songs into it" and "unlike movie dates, street dates rarely hold in the music biz". But that album was real enough to delay the release of her upcoming CBS Film, The Back-Up Plan (see below)...

...

But CBS Films recently announced it's postponing the release of that romantic comedy to April 23rd, same weekend as Wall Street 2 and MacGruber. It had been scheduled for April 16th which then got too crowded. And before that January 22nd when it was to be the first CBS Film. Complicating The Back-Up Plan's release as well was that J-Lo/Sony album and exactly when she'd be available to do publicity for the film. Well, no one has to worry about that now.

Meanwhile, JLo is scheduled as both the musical guest and the host of Saturday Night Live next
weekend. But now she has no record and no movie to promote. Hmm.

But we do have confirmation that one of J Lo's tracks will be on the movie soundtrack.

Here's her tweet:
@JLo Sang What Is Love at San Remo! New song from my new movie The Back-up Plan. Saw it last week during a press junket. Ugh, junkets are tough!
(This is a verified Twitter account so it's definitely legitimate.)

Hmmmm... well hoping her music drama does not postpone the movie AGAIN... but gotta say, that Laboutin song... not so good. :no:

I think I must be slipping... 'cause I kinda like the Louboutins song. Something about the repeated line in the chorus, with the minimalist chord changes, appeals to me. Not that it's great art or anything, mind you...nor does it have anything to do with TBUP, except that it's from the same (canceled) album as "What Is Love"... oh, and of course, she wears those gorgeous Louboutin boots in the flick...

I watched her performance in Sanremo on TV and the song was indeed announced as part of her new movie's soundtrack. Unfortunately, in her inteview she wasn't asked and she didn't mention TBUP.

Well... it looks like the BUP red carpet premiere has been bumped back one day, from April 20th to April 21st. Still at Graumann's Chinese. Thanks to DEb (Purpldy) for the info.

Is this normal to change the premiere dates, the release dates, and all that stuff? :gasp:

I don't think it's normal to move the release date so much, but as for moving the red carpet premiere one day, I have no idea... :shrug:
