The brakes have been hit on pricey negotiations for a Jennifer Lopez residency on the Las Vegas Strip early next year, according to a report in the New York Post.<\/em> At issue are sagging sales for her new album and upcoming summer tour.<\/p>\n

Lopez had been in talks, with MGM Resorts and Live Nation Entertainment, to perform 90 dates for $90 million at the the 5,200-seat Park Theater at the MGM Grand, according to The Post.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is Her \u2026 Now<\/h2>\n

That was before \u201cThis is Me \u2026 Now\u201d became, at least so far, the worst-selling of Lopez\u2019s career. It was also before, according to Variety,<\/em> seven shows on her concert tour \u2014 in Cleveland, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans, and Houston \u2014 had to be quietly scrapped due to \u201cweak ticket sales.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Ticketmaster,<\/em> a third of the 19,500 seats for Lopez\u2019s Las Vegas\u2019 T-Mobile Arena concert on July 20 are still unsold.<\/p>\n

An unnamed source told The Post<\/em> that MGM execs are watching Lopez \u201cnot doing well on the road\u201d and are \u201cvery nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty rare you have a poor tour and then go to Vegas,\u201d the source is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

The $1 million-per-show figure was based on J. Lo\u2019s highly successful, 130-date residency at Planet Hollywood\u2019s Zappos Theater. Its final show in 2018 set a box office record<\/a> for the venue of $1.17 million and made J. Lo the fastest performer on the Strip to sell $100 million worth of tickets.<\/p>\n

Lopez received about $500 million per show for that two-year residency, according to The Post. <\/em>That\u2019s the same amount that MGM is currently paying Mariah Carey, and that Caesars Entertainment paid Celine Dion for her two residencies at Caesars Palace. It\u2019s also about half as much as MGM is currently forking over to Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga.<\/p>\n

The record to break remains Adele\u2019s $2 million-per-show at Caesars Palace, for a residency scheduled to conclude on June 15.<\/p>\n

Feelin\u2019 So Bad<\/h2>\n

Originally, according to an unconfirmed report in February by Britain\u2019s The Mirror, <\/em>the offer to J. Lo was $800,000 per residency show. That was until Resorts World chimed in with $875,000 per show \u2014 in partnership with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) \u2014 forcing MGM to top it to stay in the running.<\/p>\n

But, according to The Post<\/em>\u2019s source, a Lopez residency is now only worth $600K-$650K for far fewer than 90 shows.<\/p>\n

Reps for Lopez and MGM would not entertain requests to comment.<\/p>\n

The news comes at a distressing time in the actress\/singer\u2019s personal life, as her highly publicized marriage to Ben Affleck is also reportedly crumbling. The on-again\/off-again couple got hitched at the Little White Chapel in Vegas less than two years ago, after having been broken up since 2004.<\/p>\n
