MUSIC

Jennifer Lopez

What do you get the 50-year-old who has everything? Nothing. And J. Lo knows it. So, as the singer and actress celebrates five decades of awesomeness, she’s throwing her own party — that way she doesn’t have to worry about you totally letting her down. All you have to do is show up when she hits town, with “World of Dance” guest stars The Lab, Swing Latino and Briar Nolet, at 8 p.m. Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. Tickets are $49.95 to $499.95; call 888-929-7849.

MOVIES

‘Field of Dreams’

No better time than Father’s Day to have a catch with Dad. Or at least to get shushed by him as he watches Kevin Costner’s Ray Kinsella toss the ball to his old man. For baseball-loving fathers, dad-loving baseball fans, and James Earl Jones soliloquy enthusiasts, “Field of Dreams” returns to theaters Sunday, with additional screenings scheduled for Tuesday. People will most definitely come to Colonnade, Orleans, Red Rock, Sam’s Town, Santa Fe, South Point and Village Square.
