Jennifer Lopez has not given up on her lifelong dream to win an Oscar – and sources say she’s hitting up Brad Pitt and other A-list producers in a crass and desperate attempt to rebuild her image and get in good with the top movers and shakers, can reveal.
“It’s crucial to have the right material to get into the race with an award-worthy script, and let’s face it Brad and his company have a great track record, so he’s at the top of her schmooze list,” a source said.
After the dejected diva’s humiliating split from her fourth husband, Ben Affleck, 52, the sad songbird is desperate to spit–polish her image, explained a source.
“She’s looking for A-list acceptance,” added an insider. “She’s always felt a little like an outsider and is convinced that an Oscar would prove she’s got everyone’s respect.”
Although J.Lo, 55, has never worked with Pitt, the source revealed that she got to know the 61-year-old Fight Club hunk during her two-year marriage with Affleck.
“Brad and Ben are friends, so Jen has spent a little time with him enough to feel comfortable reaching out and asking if he has any material she can star in,” the source said. “She’s willing to put up a lot of money for the right project and she knows that will help.”
