Update-Is Jennifer Lopez dating Bradley Cooper and moving on from Marc Anthony? Depending on who you ask you may hear yes or no. The newly singly but technically married actress/singer was spotted on a date out to dinner with Hangover star Bradley Cooper. JLo and Marc announced their divorce just under two months ago on July 15th. Marc has since stated that the marriage was over for some time – so much for a reconciliation. Certainly rumors of Marc getting too close with HawthoRNe co-star Jada Pinkett didn’t help things much.
Bradley on the other hand split from actress Renee Zellweger in March of this year after the pair dated for a couple years.
So what’s the deal? According to TMZ, Jen and Bradley had a “romantic” dinner at Per Se restaurant at Columbus Circle in New York City. The city and location may be correct but People counters quoting a source that the two met to work on a project. Isn’t that how Scarlett’s fling with Sean Penn began? Hmm…either way, we’re just hoping Jennifer Lopez isn’t attempting to reclaim her Bennifer days.
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
