There’s a brand new TikTok queen on the town. Jennifer Coolidge lastly joined the app on Jan. 19, and her first submit was a cinematic masterpiece, clearly. In the selfie-style video, the actor stands in entrance of a inexperienced display and tells viewers, “Hi, that is my first TikTok, and I used to be making an attempt to think about one thing cool to do, and I feel I’m simply gonna do a poem that I like.” She proceeds to dramatically recite not Emily Dickinson, not William Shakespeare, however the refrain of Jennifer Lopez’s 2002 hit “Jenny From the Block,” inexplicably including just a few further “Jennys” to the lyrics for good measure.
Coolidge then pans the digital camera over to none aside from J Lo herself, who, perched in a chair close by, says, “I like that. I actually, actually like that.” The clip concludes by slicing Coolidge off as she wordlessly reacts to Lopez’s reward. She merely captioned the video, “Trying out TikTok!” with the kiss mark and eyes emoji.
For those that do not lurk Coolidge’s IMDb on the common, she’s set to painting Lopez’s mother-in-law in “Shotgun Wedding,” which explains their newfound friendship. Based on the outfit Lopez is carrying, the TikTok was recorded final week throughout a joint press day, which means it is simply been chilling in J Cool’s drafts all this time. Her “White Lotus” costars have been significantly vocal within the feedback on Instagram, with Haley Lu Richardson writing, “oh my precise god,” and Meghann Fahy chiming in, “I simply appreciated this twice.”

Lopez later shared one other video that includes Coolidge on Jan. 26 on her Instagram, and it seems to be from the identical press day. In it, Coolidge is proven hilariously rummaging by means of Lopez’s dressing room as she seems to be for the singer’s pretend lashes. “You know, that is so bizarre, this is not my lodge room,” Coolidge says within the clip. “This is J Lo’s lodge room. Oh my God, I’m in your cellphone.”
She continues: “I wanna discover her lashes. She has lashes which can be, like, two inches lengthy, however you may’t fairly inform that they are pretend. I wanna discover them.”
Lopez captioned the video, “Found this in my cellphone… 😂 @ShotgunWeddingFilm premieres TONIGHT on @PrimeVideo!!!! But solely If you’re feeling like laughing… JLo & JCo.”
We genuinely hope TikTok is not a one-and-done enterprise for Coolidge. Just think about the kind of wonderful content material she might churn out down the road . . . maybe a duet with Ariana Grande? A collab with the various individuals who impersonate her distinctive voice? A re-creation of her saying, “Please, these gays, they’re making an attempt to homicide me!”? OK, OK, we’re getting forward of ourselves right here.
Coolidge’s TikTok debut comes within the midst of a jam-packed award season. So far, she’s scooped up wins on the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, prompting concurrently hilarious and touching acceptance speeches at each ceremonies, and she or he’s up for an additional trophy on the SAG Awards subsequent month. If there have been an award for finest new TikTok star of 2023, she’d win it palms down.
