"Anaconda" star Jennifer Lopez is all set to steam up things in her upcoming next. The singer-turned-actress will apparently play a cougar in her next movie - "The Boy Next Door"

Lopez will star as a newly-single mother, involved in a steamy affair with her teenage neighbor who befriends her son.

Quite interestingly, Lopez is dating a much-younger boyfriend Casper Smart in real life, post split with husband Marc Anthony.

Produced by Jason Blum and to be directed by Rob Cohen, the movie has been scripted by Barbara Curry, the screenwriter for the widely acclaimed film “Talk of the Town.”

Besides this, the 44-year-old will return to the small screen as the judge of the reality show "American Idol.”
