Jennifer Lopez was left stunned by “Office Romance” co-star Brett Goldstein’s nearly perfect knowledge of her movie career in an interview clip shared by Netflix Saturday — despite the fact that Goldstein warned her he would “f–king smash” the challenge.
Goldstein more than proved he meant what he said, and Lopez was left agape as he correctly answered nearly every question she posed about “Maid in Manhattan,” “Selena” and “Hustlers.”
Lopez began by asking Goldstein how she met her love interest, Steve, in the 2001 comedy “The Wedding Planner.”
He answered correctly: “The heel of your shoe gets stuck in the grill in the street as a garbage truck is coming towards you.”
Goldstein was then asked what the occupation of Lopez’s “Maid in Manhattan” love interest was (New York congressional senator), who plays her father in two different films (Edward James Almas in “Selena” and “Office Romance”) and who Lopez was meant to marry in “Marry Me.”
“You’re supposed to marry an evil pop star,” he answered, “and then you marry Owen Wilson.”
At one point Lopez asked how Goldstein knew so much about her work and he answered, “Did you think I made it up, that I was a fan?” She admitted, “No, yeah, kind of. Yes.”
At one point Goldstein seemed embarrassed after being asked to describe the coat Lopez’s character Ramona wears in “Hustlers.”
It turns out that Goldstein’s reaction may have been because of an easter egg back to his own podcast, “Films to Be Buried With,” in which he waxed poetic on Lopez’s “Hustlers” performance, the film’s sexiness and specifically the fur coat.
“Now in fact, one of the questions on here is best cuddle, and one of my answers for best cuddle is ‘Hustlers,” he said in the resurfaced clip. “There’s a scene on the roof, she’s sat in her big fur coat and the new girl comes up and she’s shy. And Jennifer Lopez gives her a cuddle in a big fur coat that puts between her legs like cuddles her. And I thought I’d never want it to be cuddled more. Like that is one of the best cuddles.”
Listen to that clip — and watch the Netflix interview with the “Office Romance” co-stars — below.

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.
The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.

Clooney opted for a pair of medium-wash jeans with subtle fading (another Y2K reference, IMO). Her blues had an ultra-high waist—so high, in fact, that they appeared to hit at the ribcage. It’s the complete opposite of the controversial low-rise denim, so it’s a possible sign that the high-high waist is coming back, too. Not to mention, Clooney’s jeans had a slightly oversized fit from the thighs to the ankles, but it’s that flared hem that has all my attention; it’s taking me back to my middle school days when I’d wear my True Religion flares every single day. (No joke.)
Gap High-Rise ‘70s Flare Jeans

It’s undeniable that Clooney’s jeans have that nostalgic flair (ahem, flare, wink, wink), but it’s also undeniable that celebs are clamoring to the style because it’s incredibly flattering. The blues basically act like an optical illusion, making legs look super long, especially when paired with a style that has an extra-long hemline and sky-high platforms á la Lopez; the singer is 5-feet-5-inches, but don’t you agree with me that she looks way taller in these jeans? Yeah, that’s thanks to the flares. The flare hem and longer inseams help create the look of legs for days, but add in a high-waisted cut, platform heels, and a crop top, and you’ll fool people into thinking you’re inches taller.
Leg-elongating factor aside, there’s no denying that flares are fun and nostalgia-inducing—and that’s exactly what I need right now. So, shop some more fun, funky flares from Frame, NYDJ, and Mavi below.
