Jennifer Lopez denied entry to Chanel store
The Jenny from the Block hitmaker was in Turkey this week for a performance at Yenikapi Festival Park during the Istanbul Festival and on Monday (04.08.25), she went on a shopping trip in the city, only to be told she couldn't enter the French fashion boutique.
According to Turkiye Today, a security guard prevented Jennifer from entering the shore because it was at full capacity, but she took the news in her stride.
Before walking away, she replied: "Okay, no problem."
Although the 56-year-old star was invited back by the staff at the Chanel store, she visited other high-end retailers instead, heading into both Celine and Beymen.
She is said to have spent around three hours at the store, spending tens of thousands of dollars.
Last month, Jennifer suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on stage when her skirt fell off.
The Hustlers star had taken her Up All Night: Live tour to the PGE Narodowy stadium in Warsaw, Poland on 25 July and had stepped out wearing a gold bikini top and matching skirt.
But as her crew sang Happy Birthday to her in honour of her turning 56 the day before, she was left red-faced when the garment pinged off as she walked across the stage.
After the skirt fell to the floor, Jennifer did a twirl to show off her gold underpants before saying: "I'm out here in my underwear ... That's gonna be everywhere."
One of her backing dancers tried to help reattach the skirt as Happy Birthday continued but the star just laughed and then threw the garment out into the audience, saying: "I'm glad that they reinforced that costume. And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear ...
"Guys I gotta tell you ... Yes you can keep it (the skirt) I don't want it back. I don't want it back you can have it forever and ever."
Jennifer then added: "I am so thankful to be here in beautiful Warsaw on my birthday.
"I gotta tell you, surrounded by my incredible dancers, my band, my crew, everybody - I am so blessed.
"I don't usually give any advice to anybody because I feel like we're all on our own specific journey … If I had one little piece of advice for you, it would be to do what you love, find what you love, do it, and do it with people that you love, and then you will have the most amazing life. I can say that firsthand.
"I also want to say that I believe that the amount of happiness that you have in your heart is, is tied directly to how free you feel, and I wish you guys all the same happiness and freedom and the way you made me feel tonight …
"I want you to be feel free to love, free to be who you are, free to just follow your dreams and do all the things that you want to do. I just want you to feel free."

Selena Gomez helps Jennifer Aniston ‘lean into social media'
Jennifer Aniston has revealed Selena Gomez has helped her to 'lean into social media'. The 56-year-old actress joined Instagram in late 2019 to launch her hair conditioner LolaVie Glossing Detangler, and Jennifer has shared that the Only Murders in the Building star, 33, has been an 'angel' when it comes to teaching her about her online presence. Speaking with People magazine, the former Friends star said: 'Selena helps me lean into social media. She's so effortless when it comes to that. 'And she's just an angel who I love spending time with.' Jennifer added her Friends co-star Courteney Cox - who also has her own body and home range called Homecourt - had given her a helping hand when it comes to product design. She continued: 'What haven't I learned from Courteney? 'We usually talk interviews or design. It kind of bores people to tears when we get into a room together. But it's what we love. It's our love language.' Although she uses social media to promote her beauty range, The Morning Show actress is determined not to fall into the trap of 'doomscrolling'. She explained: 'I've been trying not to doomscroll. I try to stay away from the noise as much as possible. 'Thankfully, my algorithm is animals, architecture, hair and spiritual affirmations. So it's not that doomy.' Away from work, Jennifer revealed the routine she has to unwind when she gets home. She shared: 'I come home, I'm with my dogs. I'll put on music. I'll talk to some friends on the phone, like people used to do. 'I like to just zone out to a great documentary, find something that's going to be light on my heart and make me laugh. Maybe have friends over for dinner.' Jennifer added she wants to 'focus on the beautiful things' in life and where she can make a difference. She said: 'I try to focus on the beautiful things that are happening in life and where I can contribute. 'There are certain things that are out of our control and out of our power, which is quite frustrating. So, try not to dwell where you are handcuffed and can't do anything. 'I love my work, I love my dogs, I love my friends and I'm excited about creating new things.'

Verdict on hotel at the centre of Queensland's most contentious site
When we arrive, natural light pours through a 21-metre glass oculus in the centre of the complex; the foyer has a palette of muted golds, bronzes and metallic colours, offset by a line of subtropical green, carefully selected larger artworks and smaller sculptural pieces. It's surprisingly tasteful: what could appear gaudy instead offers quiet elegance. When I check in, I ask the concierge what they think is the best thing about the hotel. 'The floor-to-ceiling windows,' he says, not hesitating. And he's not wrong. My River King room is on the 16th floor and when I enter, the drapery theatrically opens, revealing a spectacular view over the river to the sun setting behind Mount Coot-tha. Below, two ferries cross the river, and the city lights begin to put on a show. The room is oversized with high ceilings, adding to the drama. From the fixtures to the amenities and oversized white bathroom, no expense has been spared: there's a king bed, Nespresso machine, 55-inch QLED flat screen television, complimentary mini-bar and Calacatta Viola marble benchtops. In the bathroom, Karl Lagerfeld bathroom products, a Vidal Sassoon hair dryer, and crucially, an ample provision of hooks. There's not much I can fault in the room: it is elegant, comfortable, and spacious. Over 50 new dining and beverage venues are planned for the Queens Wharf precinct; around a dozen are open, including Japanese fine dining restaurant Sokyo and much-loved Brisbane institution Fat Noodle. My small party started with cocktails at Pompette: a French brasserie-inspired restaurant on the fourth floor, before dinner at Dark Shepherd. Afterwards, I headed up to the Sky Deck. Open to the public, it's meant to be one of the hero features of the hotel. Facing the river, it includes a novelty glass-bottom section suspended over the motorway below. I'm not bothered by the height, but I am slightly put off by the mottled cobwebs hanging underneath. The Sky Deck faces the river, but internally also looks down on the 7th-floor leisure deck, a huge space occupied by Isoletto Pool Club, pools, steam room, sauna and gym– but I can't access the floor to check it out. While I bear this cross quite well, others in my party bemoan not having access to a gym. As it turns out, the pool area doesn't open until weeks after my stay– seven months after the hotel debuted. It was one of the many small tells that all was not well with the hotel. The other was during breakfast. A guilty pleasure of hotel stays for me is the buffet breakfast, but The Star Grand doesn't have one. I'm handed a menu instead, and while my eggs benny is perfectly respectable, and my almond latte passes the Sydney coffee-snob test, it's just not what I anticipated for a 340-room hotel with a capacity for over 700 overnight guests. Was there ever a buffet? I ask my server. 'I think so,' they reply, clearing my plate. 'Maybe when it opened?' Outside, the city is battening down the hatches. My planned trip to Brisbane's outer islands is abandoned, and while my flights home are being rebooked, I explore the city. Driving around, Brisbane's rapid expansion is impossible to miss: the city is set to host the Olympics in 2032, and population growth is accelerating. An evening visit to the revitalised Howard Smith Wharves district shows just how good the city can be when a new development gets it right. However, the shambolic state of the domestic airport (currently under renovation), the sheer volume of hole-in-the-ground construction sites and horrible traffic are a tell-tale sign of Brisbane's growing pains as it struggles to shape-shift into something more than a second-tier city. Those who live here, though, argue that there are advantages to the city not being set in its ways. 'Brisbane doesn't come with the cultural baggage of Sydney or Melbourne,' says art curator Reuben Keehan, as we walk through GOMA 's flagship exhibition, the 11th Triennial of Asia Pacific Contemporary Art. Loading He believes Brisbane's contemporary artists have space to do something new. And The Star Grand did show up to the party with the chequebook out, commissioning dozens of works from local artists. Renowned Brisbane artist Lindy Lee AO's ethereal Being Swallowed by the Milky Way sits in the George Street entrance; in the foyer, the blue hues in artist Felecia Aroney's enormous canvas balance the heavy gold palette. Both are beautiful and part of an art trail in the Queen's Wharf precinct. But let's face it: the casino is the breadwinner of The Star Brisbane operation. For me, a quick lap around the level-five gaming floor was enough. The harsh lighting stung my eyes as I passed trilling slot machines and a mostly empty sports bar. The more lively tables attracted a small crowd; off to one side, an open doorway led to a poker room filled with two tables of stern-faced men who didn't seem to be having much fun. I lose my bearings, and get lost trying to find the exit. I check out of the hotel early on Wednesday, before the storm hits. In the weeks after my stay, it seemed a Hail Mary had come through for The Star Entertainment Group, in the form of a new corporate deal. Trading resumed on the ASX, and it appeared over 9000 jobs would be saved. But in the past few days, reports have circulated that the deal The Star Group was brokering is off the table. Loading It is a shame, because overall, my stay at The Star Grand, while odd, was enjoyable. The service was as it should be for a hotel of this calibre: genuine, personalised and personable. The room was exceptional: not just well-designed, but thoughtful in its execution. The Star Grand Brisbane has the potential to be a great hotel if they ever get around to finishing it. Likewise, Brisbane has the potential to be a great city – if they ever finish transforming it. For now, visitors heading north will have to wait and see – both for the city, and its most contentious new landmark.
