| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Meet Your New Sue Ellen. Possibly. If She Takes It. (As If She Wouldn't.) |
| Wednesday, March 15, 2006 |
And, of course, you'll barely notice the very Latina JLo playing someone named Sue Ellen, will you? What if she played someone named Becky? Amber? Keisha? Aquanette? What about Shaquanna Jackson? Would that catch your attention? Would it feel kind of glaring? Probably not, huh? No? Ya think?
Per the article in E! Online News: J.Lo, who previously worked with Luketic on Monster-in-Law, would play Sue Ellen Ewing, the alcoholic and adulterous wife of J.R. Ewing, who was originally played by Linda Gray in the primetime soap, which aired from 1978-91. If Lopez accepts the role, it work mark a return to studio fare after shooting a pair of back-to-back independent films. Lovely. And all you die-hard Dallas fans out there, you won't notice a thing either, will you? Because JLo's a SUPERB actress. She hasn't said 'yes' yet---she's been offered the role...odds are she'll take it---and when she does, she'll make us totally forget that Sue Ellen Ewing...
...is a (drunk, reinvented) highbrow, whitebread southern diva, because that's the kind of give-it-her-all thespian Mrs. Anthony La Lopez is.
Wonder if she'll have a southern twang.
(On the real, it certainly would be interesting to see her play Shaquanna Jackson. All she'd need is a smokier tint to her skin and a bit of a kink to her hair. She's already got the big ghetto ass.)

here we go again....
i guess the "reason" for j-lo being asked to be in the mix with this new "dallas" production is because of the influx of hispanic/latinos in the US as well as in texas. it wouldn't be a "real suprise" to find a many mixed marriages and money down there in texus! also eva longeria of "desperate housewife" fame kinda open that door for her. think about it.
and besides, if you were to put a white woman to play "sue-ellen" who will really want to watch the new "dallas" anyway. but with j-lo, she's brings weight and a shitload of hisp/latinos to the t.v. set. advertisers will have a field day!
