...perhaps appropriate that the Latin female singer who is best positioned to grab hold of a Selena-proportioned success is the woman who portrayed her on film. Gregory Nava, director of the 1997 biopic Selena, cast Jennifer Lopez in the lead.

"I did a demo in Spanish after Selena and submitted it to the Work label," says Lopez. "They said, 'We like it, but we want...

They almost make you forget Cher's totally out-of-it work as a disapproved-of American and carry the film to its destiny, which is one of inoffensive inconsequence, prettily staged...
...probably seen shows like Fox's "COPS" -- you know, a bunch of burly law-enforcement types burst in a house in some low-rent neighborhood followed by a film crew.
