Does anyone else think that maybe, just maybe Jennifer Lopez is taking her role as Puchi as more important than the role of Hector Lavoe and in the process trying to one up hubby Marc Anthony? The co-star of el Cantante is featured on the cover of Fashion Rocks magazine, a supplement to Conde Nast publications available to subscribers only. Inside the magazine is an extensive profile of Jenny from the Block, painting her as the disciplined backbone to Marc Anthony’s artsiness. So is she pulling a Puchi?

If watching Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez in el Cantante, which opened yesterday, left you wanting more salsa and if you’re in NYC then you’re in luck. Today at Central Park’s SummerStage, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra will be headlining bringing their classic salsa sound downtown from el Barrio at a FREE concert. Opening for the SHO are my friends (no seriously) are Tato Torres and Yerbabuena bringing jibara music to la gente. So grab a blanket and something cool to drin porque hoy the only thing hotter than the sun is gonna be la musica!.

Jennifer Lopez‘s first Spanish language album, Como Ama Una Mujer, was promoted vigorously in both Spanish and English language media, but apparently that wasn’t enough and the lackluster response to the album is causing some to question the future of Jenny from the block’s overall career.
This week, Lopez’s first Spanish album, “Como Ama Una Mujer,” sold a very measly 49,452 copies, according to hitsdailydouble.com. The album finished at No. 10 for the week, behind a repackaging of Elton John’s greatest hits.
The comparison to Elton John is probably a little unfair given the length of his career and his broad appeal. The article goes on to look at Jennifer’s film career which debuted with critical acclaim when she appeared in Selena as Selena.

Well, I certainly hope not. We have enough JLo as it is. But Paty seems a bit picada with the comparisons being made between the two as a result of each woman’s latest respective film roles. You see they are both in new films about musician Hector Lavoe; and like good females rivales in real life, JLo plays Hector’s second wife and Paty his first.
“We’re not playing the same part. She (JLo) is playing his ‘Puchi’, Lavoe’s second wife, so these comparisons are pointless,” she said
Pointless, sure — but fun!

Jennifer Lopez was seen dressed in white in the Iglesia de San Francisco de AsÃs in Old San Juan yesterday afternoon with her husband singer Marc Anthony. They were getting married again but not for real. They were filming a scene for the movie “El Cantante” about the late great sonero, Hector Lavoe. Marc Anthony plays the troubled singer and Jenny from the block plays his partner Nilda “Puchi” Román. “El Cantante” is one of two movies being made about Lavoe. The family of Lavoe is not supporting the Marc Anthony and J. Lo. version. The family instead is throwing their support behind a version starring Raúl Carbonell who also played Lavoe in a theatrical production in NYC.
