'Name on top of the cake, it's my birthday/I'ma make this famous ass shake, it's my birthday,' she sings on the Rob Bisel-produced track's chorus. 'Throwin' all this money in they face, it's my birthday/Everyday is my birthday, bitch!'

Lopez has been performing 'Birthday' on her Up All Night tour across Europe, which is scheduled to continue through mid-August. She celebrated the big day with a birthday party in Turkey, where she recreated the cake line from the song in real life.
'What a gift you all are!' she wrote on Instagram, sharing a mirror selfie and a carousel of her birthday celebrations. 'Thank you so much for all your beautiful birthday wishes.'
During her show in Antalya, Turkey, her best friend Stevie Mackey led the sold-out crowd (and her band) in a sing-along to 'Happy Birthday' after the clock struck midnight.
The pop star is set to continue her run of shows on Friday with a performance in Warsaw, before heading to Bucharest, Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstan, Istanbul, and Sardinia.
The run of shows overseas precedes her 'Up All Night' residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which is scheduled to kick off on New Year's Eve. She'll play a trio of shows there this winter, before returning for eight more nights in March 2026.
While 'Birthday' is her first solo track of the year, Joel Corry reimagined her track 'Get Right' for the dancefloor. Last year, Lopez celebrated seminal album On the 6th's 25th anniversary, and released her album and feature film, This Is Me… Now.

Meghan Markle's 'Special' 44th Birthday Marked By 'Standout Dining Experience' And A-Lists Snub
Meghan Markle's 44th birthday paled in comparison to the love she once received from the Royal Family and her celebrity pals. The Duchess of Sussex marked her big day with a low-key celebration surrounded by her family and friends. Although she credited her husband, Prince Harry, for making the event "special," it must have stung not to receive any recognition from her famous pals. Meghan Markle's birthdays previously received love from her in-laws, Prince William and Kate Middleton, even after stepping down from her role as a senior working royal. However, her relationship with the royals has since turned bitter, and the same appears to be happening to her celebrity acquaintances. Meghan Markle Enjoys Low-Key Celebration With Friends & Family Meghan turned 44 on August 4 but recently revealed how she celebrated the event with her loved ones. She dropped a picture from her birthday dinner on Instagram, capturing her blowing candles on a beautiful cake decorated with yellow flowers. "Blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours, and thanking my husband, friends, and family for making it so special. To those of you I don't know, but who send love every day, thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it," Meghan gushed in the post's captioned. She revealed her birthday dinner took place at the popular Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, crediting the establishment's chef and team for blessing her with one of the top five meals of her life. "Extraordinary. Thank you for a standout dining experience," Meghan concluded her post. The Former Actress Was Reportedly Snubbed By Her A-list Friends Although Meghan enjoyed a private dinner with her husband and loved ones, it appears that only those in her innermost circle cared to mark her big day. RadarOnline shared that her once-close celebrity pals like Beyoncé and Tyler Perry failed to acknowledge the Duchess of Sussex's birthday. Besides getting snubbed by her A-list pals, Meghan also received zero congratulations from the Royal Family. Prince William and Kate used to mark her birthday even after Meghan and Harry stepped down from their roles in 2020. The outlet noted King Charles and Queen Camilla also celebrated Meghan's birthdays. However, the congratulations stopped coming after Harry and Meghan dropped scathing allegations against the Royal Family in the tell-all Netflix docuseries in 2022. Additionally, the Duke of Sussex's bombshell memoir "Spare" further escalated the rift between them. Critics Bash The Duchess Of Sussex For Getting Snubbed The lack of recognition on Meghan's birthday sparked a wave of criticism as many believed celebrities rightfully snubbed her. "Ha! Hollywood A-Listers could NOT Care Less about Meghan Markle's Birthday--NOT a Single A-Lister contacted her," someone wrote on X. Another echoed similar sentiments, claiming: "C-cksucker Megan was never friends w/them to begin with, they knew Megan is using them and btw she is 48 yrs old." A third agreed that Meghan never cut it with the A-list crowd, noting: "She was never anything special, people are starting to see it now. She's getting the bad karma that she put out there." The criticism continued with an X user theorizing that everyone wanted nothing to do with the former actress. "Those 'supporters' of years past have probably realised what many people knew all along, Meggy's a mess, she's an ongoing mess, she likes to make a mess," the individual declared. Prince Harry & His Wife Face Backlash For Not Supporting Tyler Perry Meghan's birthday snub comes weeks after she and Harry faced backlash for staying silent amid Perry's sexual assault lawsuit. The Blast covered the story, reporting the famous couple was trashed by fans and royal commentators, including Hilary Fordwich. Fordwich slammed Harry and Meghan's silence as "a clear demonstration of a total lack of moral courage," with sources echoing similar sentiments about their lack of support. An insider explained the couple was keeping quiet to avoid getting dragged into the lawsuit, adding: "But many think it's hypocritical, since Tyler Perry has stuck up for them so many times, and it's bad that the Sussexes don't say anything to support him now." Meghan Markle Labeled' Duchess Difficult' For Allegedly Mistreating Staff The Blast recently reported that Meghan's past bullying allegations had resurfaced over her attitude towards staff. Royal reporter Valentine Low first dropped the scathing claims in 2021, alleging: "There had been one or two stories which suggested there were difficult relations between Meghan and her staff. We'd seen them, and the phrase 'Duchess Difficult' had been used." Low claimed he knew Meghan was "angry" about the bullying allegations; however, there appeared to be some truth behind these claims. He shared that those who suffered under Meghan's employment were emotionally distressed till date because they feared her "infinite" capacity for revenge. Will Meghan Markle continue to get snubbed by her celebrity pals?

Kelly Clarkson Can't ‘Risk Damaging' Vocal Cords Amid Canceled Shows as She Fights ‘Hidden Battles'
Less than two hours before she was set to hit the stage on July 4, Kelly Clarkson canceled the opening night of her highly anticipated Studio Sessions residency at Caesars Palace to avoid potential injury to her voice. 'She belts out every single note,' a Las Vegas insider spilled to Page Six on the reasons behind the sudden change of plans. 'She's an incredibly powerful singer, but it takes its toll on her vocal cords and she's come incredibly close to needing surgery before.' 'She cannot risk damaging her cords further,' explained the insider. 'She's on thin ice.' A second source revealed that Clarkson, 43, is struggling with 'serious hidden battles' that 'very few people are privy to.' 'Kelly's personal life is so insanely complicated,' the source shares. 'It's a source of emotional, and therefore, physical distress for her.' The 'Because of You' singer's 18-show residency at the Colosseum was announced in February, causing many fans to rush to buy tickets. However, they were left disappointed when Clarkson was forced to cancel her first and second shows on such short notice – especially seeing as some fans from out of state had booked pricey travel and hotels so that they could attend. Shortly after her decision to postpone the concert, a 'devastated' Clarkson took to Instagram on July 4, to explain the upsetting situation to her followers. 'We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans'' she said at the time. 'The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice.' 'I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve,' she continued. 'The show is truly incredible. The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong. I can't wait to be back next weekend and show y'all what we've been working on.' While some fans in the comments section offered her words of love and support, others were left frustrated and suggested her decision was 'disrespectful' to attendees. One person wrote, 'I'm literally here in a homemade Kelly Clarkson T-shirt. I spent $700 on flights and $1000 on [the] hotel. Canceling one hour before the show is INSANE.' A second person pointed out, 'The crazy part is there isn't even an apology in this post.' 'I wish you would've done this sooner than 15 mins before doors opening,' a third fan chimed in, before adding, 'I hope you feel better.'
