It’s a happy birthday to Jennifer Lopez, who turns 38 today, and no doubt celebrates (at least partially) by letting her husband Marc Anthony bounce quarters off her still-firm ass. I’ve assayed Lopez’s career arc previously, and can confirm that the forthcoming El Cantante isn’t going to suddenly re-adjust her trajectory in upward fashion. But in the interest of playing nice, I will make my birthday gift to Lopez silence today on matters of career resuscitation… except to say that if Bordertown indeed retains its August 31 release date, it will be a bummer month in the Lopez-Anthony household.

UPDATE 7/24, 7:13 a.m.: I just got an email, actually, that Lopez and Anthony will co-headline their first tour together this fall — also the former’s first concert slate ever. The multi-city tour of the United States,
Canada
and Puerto Rico kicks off
September 29 in Atlantic City,
and is produced by Live Nation and sponsored by ING,
a global financial services company. Firm dates will be announced next week, and tickets go on sale beginning August
10. For more information, visit Live Nation’s eponymous web site by clicking here.
