Not the 33 Woman, After All...But an Animated One

Jennifer Lopez will not be heading into a mine – or anywhere near one – for her next big-screen project.

That’s right, J. Lo has dropped out of the based-on-the-true-story-film-about-the-33-Chilean-miners-who-were-trapped-in-a-mine-for-69-days-back-in-2010 The 33.

I’m guessing her return to TV’s American Idol has something to do with this. Can you say scheduling conflicts?

Alas, don’t feel bad for La Lopez: She does have a movie project coming up.

The actress is set to lend her voice to the DreamWorks Animation alien-invasion offering Home, which is based on the children’s book The True Meaning of Smekday. She will voice-play the taken-by-aliens mother of Rihanna’s character.
