In the music video for her piano-driven interlude "Bambi," Bodine poses in the middle of a dense forest, artistically garbed in assorted animal bones as she croons over the black and white footage with an ear-catching voice that straddles mezzo and alto ranges. The visual doubled as an announcement video for her sophomore EP, "Quemo Lento," which dropped last month. Still, if anyone got the impression the project would hinge on somber instrumentals, her other tracks quickly proved them wrong. The follow-up singles "No Me Quiere Más Na'" and "Nalgaje" present a saucier and more liberated version of Bodine. But who is the real Bodine?

The answer is unsurprising to those who know her - she's both.

Affleck and Matt Damon’s recently-founded film production company, Artists Equity, is currently in the process of adapting former Arizona State wrestler Anthony Robles’ inspiring story into a movie.
Teasing their forthcoming title, Unstoppable, Affleck and Damon told CBS Sunday Morning’s Tracy Smith: “We’re just getting rolling on working again with Amazon.”
Smith coyly asked: “Who’s starring in that movie?”
“I know where you’re going with this. But I’m gonna tell you who the lead actor is,” Affleck responded. “We always hire the very best performers. And in this case, I can say every single person that’s been cast so far I think is the very absolute best choice.”
“You’re dancing around that Jennifer Lopez is also in this movie?” Smith suggested.
