Though J.Lo’s musical film is packed with starry moments, there’s an equally long list of those who were in consideration.

The list of names considered for Jennifer Lopez’s star-studded Zodiac Council in This Is Me…Now is more impressive than any music festival lineup.

“The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” a behind-the-scenes documentary available on Amazon Prime Video, offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Jennifer Lopez’s creative process while making “This Is Me… Now.” The documentary reveals that Lopez considered including even more star-studded cameos in the feature film. Despite already boasting appearances from celebrities like Jane Fonda, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Post Malone, Kim Petras, Keke Palmer, Jenifer Lewis, and others, Lopez contemplated adding additional high-profile names to her musical project.

The doc reveals that those who were asked and declined or were unavailable include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Lizzo, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, and Snoop Dogg. Additionally, Vanessa Hudgens was pitched to play one of the friends to Lopez’s dramatized protagonist but ultimately was not cast, and Khloe Kardashian was also supposed to cameo.

But Lopez tells EW that there are no “stars who got away,” and that she’s thrilled with the final result. “They were giving me a list of all these amazing people, and I was like, ‘Yes, I like all of those people, but that’s not what I want,'” she says. “My first people were Jenifer Lewis and Jane Fonda, and they were like, ‘Wait, we don’t get it. This is like music. This is young.'” And I was like, ‘No. This is a council of people who I want to be very diverse. I want all different kinds of people.”

“These are people with all different personality traits from all different walks of life,” Lopez continues. “But they all have something that affected me in some way — their philosophy on life, on love, on the universe, on music. That was the list that I made.”

In the documentary, Lopez emphasizes the importance of casting individuals who truly understand the essence of her project. She encourages viewers to pay attention to her reaction when she’s informed that certain celebrities aren’t available for cameo appearances. Rather than expressing disappointment, Lopez explains that she seeks individuals who can authentically represent the vision she has for her project. She highlights the necessity for trust between herself and the casting team, acknowledging that it required a significant leap of faith for some individuals to participate in her endeavor.

The tour marks the latest milestone in Lopez’s This Is Me… Now era, which comprises the album, film, and concert series billed as a sequel to her 2002 album This Is Me… Then — all of which chronicle her love life, particularly her relationship with actor Ben Affleck, both in its original form and its rekindled status in recent years.

It seems like the tension between Ayo Edebiri and Jennifer Lopez might have added an extra layer of anticipation to their appearance on Saturday Night Live. Edebiri’s past comments criticizing Lopez’s career as a “long scam” resurfaced before the broadcast, creating buzz around their interaction on the show. Despite any potential awkwardness, both performers likely approached the situation professionally, focusing on delivering their respective performances to the best of their abilities.

It’s heartwarming to hear that Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey were able to reconcile before the show. Lopez shared with EW that Carey visited her dressing room and apologized, expressing regret for past remarks. Carey’s gesture of kindness and acknowledgment of Lopez’s talent and performance demonstrates a sincere effort to mend their relationship. It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of forgiveness and understanding in the entertainment industry.
