Jennifer Lopez has partnered with Walden Media to make a live-action film based on Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, the computer game used as a teaching tool in more than half of U.S. elementary schools. 

Carmen Sandiego is also a popular animated series. Though there has been some speculation that Lopez would play the title character in the film version, the singer and American Idol judge is officially attached as the project's co-producer with Nuyorican Productions, her development team. This is not the first time Carmen Sandiego has been considered as a feature film – Disney optioned the property more than 10 years ago, but the project lapsed.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
