Lopez will star in A Recipe for Seduction, a 15-minute "Lifetime Original Mini-Movie Presented by Kentucky Fried Chicken" that is scheduled to debut at noon next Sunday. “Some folks take their secrets to the grave, but Colonel Sanders takes his to the deep fryer," the KFC Twitter account tweeted, accompanied by a poster of Lopez and co-star Justene Alpert with the tagline: "We All Have Our Secrets, His Just Happens to Be… A Recipe for Seduction.” It's unclear how to categorize this movie, but it has the internet mesmerized. Here's Lifetime's synopsis for the mini-movie: “As the holidays draw near, a young heiress (Alpert) contends with the affections of a suitor handpicked by her mother. When the handsome chef, Harland Sanders, arrives with his secret fried chicken recipe and a dream, he sets in motion a series of events that unravels the mother’s devious plans. Will our plucky heiress escape to her wintry happily ever after with Harland at her side, or will she cave to the demands of family and duty?.” Watch the trailer.
