What Does J.Lo Actually Want?


Listen Later

J.Lo is, as we say in the Culture Study universe, a rich text. There is so much history, so many layers of accumulated meaning, so many relationships, and so little in terms of actual revelations. She gives so much and yet offers so little! Chelsea Devantez is a celebrity memoir aficionado, a humor writer, and a newly-minted J.Lo scholar — and the absolute perfect co-host to unpack all of your J.Lo questions, like why does Mariah hate her, why can’t she and Ben be happy, what the hell is going on with the new movie, and what does she actually want?

Show Notes:
  • Follow Chelsea Devantez on Instagram, listen to her celebrity memoir podcast Glamorous Trash, and buy her new memoir, I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This

  • Gloria Swanson’s memoir, Swanson on Swanson

  • J.Lo on In Living Color:

  • J.Lo in Selena:

  • J.Lo and Ja Rule, “I’m Real”:

  • J.Lo’s “TELL ALL” memoir

  • Chelsea’s TikTok about the Bennifer wedding cups

  • J.Lo’s 73 Questions:

We’re currently looking for your questions for future episodes about:
  • The upcoming “season” of Bama Rush

  • Sydney Sweeney (and Gen-Z Stardom)

  • Learning to craft / make things / hobby-around-the-house

  • Trad wives, featuring a co-host who used to be one

  • For our continuing series on romance novels: QUEER ROMANCE

  • Artificial Intelligence (we’re gonna see if we can figure out an actually interesting theme here, so send us your weirdest or most mind-boggling questions)

  • The economy, a.k.a. why is everything so damn expensive right now (my dream here is like an Odd Lots guest who doesn’t have private equity brain, please let us know if you have suggestions!)

  • Contemporary ideas of self-care

  • Buy Nothing groups and/or the current state of the secondhand market

  • Anything you need advice or want musings on for the AAA segment

  • You can submit them (and ideas for future eps) here (this is the subscriber-only form!)

For today’s discussion: How has your opinion of J.Lo changed with time? What was your first memory of her? ARE HER AND BEN ACTUALLY OVER????
