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, RadarOnline.com 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.
J.Lo's dream of winning an Oscar is said to have her eyeing Pitt and top A-listers for the perfect project.
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."
After years of pop stardom, Lopez is seeking Hollywood's approval with a desperate Oscar-worthy pursuit.
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."
J.Lo's rekindled connections with Clooney and Pitt spark fresh hopes for an elusive Oscar win.
Another big name on J.Lo's hit list is George Clooney, said the insider. They go back to 1998 when they starred in the action comedy film Out of Sight together.
"Jennifer's relationship with George is complicated, primarily because they both blew up so huge after their one onscreen collaboration 26 years ago, which is still considered a classic by their fans," the insider said. "But the momentum from that project pushed both of them in different directions.
From rom-com queen to Oscar hopeful, J.Lo is chasing Hollywood's elite for her next big break.
