Jennifer López won’t only be celebrating Valentine’s Day with her fiancé Alex Rodríguez, but also with the release of her new romantic comedy, Marry Me.
The multihyphenate tweeted the “Save the Date” on Monday (Sept. 14), along with a 15-second clip of López alongside co-stars Owen Wilson and Maluma. A teaser of an upcoming song from the film is also heard in the background.
“It’s about a pop star who winds up marrying a random fan from the audience,” López shared earlier this year on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “She marries a math teacher in the audience. The math teacher is played by Owen Wilson.” Fallon, meanwhile, will make a cameo as himself, and Maluma will play López’s love interest-pre Wilson.
“I did an album with this movie, so there are all new songs, new music with it, so it’s exciting,” she added. “I have six to eight songs, and Maluma does two or three.”
Catch Marry Me in theaters on Valentine’s Day, 2021.
Chilean Raul Zurita wins the Ibero-American Poetry Prize
Madrid, Sep 8
Chilean Raul Zurita won on Tuesday the 29th Reina Sofia Prize for Ibero-American Poetry, one of the most important and prestigious of this genre awarded by Spain’s National Heritage and the University of Salamanca.
Zurita, author of works such as ‘Canto a su amor desaparecido’ (Song of his Missing Love), ‘Purgatorio’ (Purgatory), ‘La Nueva Vida’ (The New Life), ‘El paraiso esta vacio’ (Paradise is empty) or ‘Canto de los rios que se aman’ (Song of the loving rivers), was born in Santiago de Chile in 1950. He is deemed as one of the most outstanding Chilean poets of the 20th century along with Pablo Neruda and Vicente Huidobro.
‘The award recognizes his work, his poetic example of overcoming pain, with verses, with words committed to life, freedom and nature,’ stressed the president of National Heritage, Llanos Castellanos, announcing the ruling of the jury.
The Reina Sofia Prize joins the numerous awards received by Zurita, such as the Pablo Neruda Prize (1988), the National Prize for Literature (2000), both from Chile, the Casa de las Americas Prize for Poetry Jose Lezama Lima (Cuba, 2006) or the Ibero-American Poetry Pablo Neruda (Chile, 2016).
