J-Lo pulls out

Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Uruguay’s

Luis Suarez are both hopeful they’ll be able to perform in the World Cup, but Jennifer Lopez was officially scratched from Thursday’s opening ceremony, FIFA announced Sunday.

World soccer’s governing body and the singer were vague on why Lopez was scratched. FIFA cited unspecified “production issues,” while Lopez’s representatives sent out an email in which they said, “regretfully Jennifer Lopez will not be attending this year’s World Cup opening ceremonies.”

That leaves Cuban American rapper Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte to perform a duet of the official tournament tune “We Are One.”
