J-Lo expertly handles unwanted visitor that crawls up her neck mid-concert
Last month the singer, 56, kicked off her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour, her first in six years.
After starting in Spain, she will play 21 shows across Europe.
However, during her concert in Almaty, Kazakhstan on Sunday night, she faced an unwanted fan getting a little too close for comfort.
As J-Lo stood in front of a microphone, a cricket was filmed making its way up her chest before getting to her neck.
Without missing a beat, she remained calm and continued singing, grabbing the insect at the same time and throwing it to the side of the stage.
Addressing the crowd while smiling, she said that 'it was tickling me' before continuing the show.
Many were impressed by her poise, with fans commenting on her approach to dealing with the situation.
'I aspire to handle problems as calm and elegant as J Lo flicking a cricket off her mid-concert,' Nova commented on X.
'J Lo the goat for how she handled that cricket cuz babyyyyy I would've been rolling all over that stage,' Naj declared.
'I aspire to handle problems as calm as J Lo flicking a cricket off her neck mid concert,' Ecca added.
Video of the incident, posted by a fan account also pointed out and joked: 'Plot twist: @JLo just started rehearsals for Kiss of the Cricket Woman… on stage… in real time.
The light-hearted comment referenced her upcoming film project, Kiss of the Spider Woman, an adaptation of the 1993 Broadway musical of the same name, which is due to be released in the coming months.
This however wasn't J Lo's only mishap on stage in recent months. Just a few weeks ago she suffered a wardrobe malfunction in the middle of a show.
While performing in Warsaw, Poland on July 25, a glittery skirt the singer was wearing snapped off her waist and fell to the floor. More Trending
Despite this she also didn't freak out, instead smiling and strutting around the stage.
'I'm out here in my underwear. That's gonna be everywhere,' she joked as a dancer approached her with the skirt and tried to help put it back on.
She later said: 'I'm glad that they reinforced that costume. And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear.'

English singer cancels concert after 'falling ill' just hours before show
An English singer has been forced to pull the plug on a gig after 'falling ill' just hours before he was due on stage. Rag'n'Bone Man – real name Rory Charles Graham – first rose to fame in 2016 with his single Human, with the album of the same name then becoming the fastest selling debut album by a male in the UK for the decade. Soon after the 40-year-old from Eastbourne was named the British breakthrough act at the Brit Awards and won another Brit for the best British single for his break-out track. He's since released two more albums and while the singer has been performing across Europe over the summer, he's had to cancel his latest show – which had been scheduled tonight in Lithuania. A statement posted on his Instagram today explained: 'Show cancellation today. We're deeply sorry to let you know that today's concert in Kaunas has been cancelled as Rag'n'Bone Man has unfortunately fallen ill. He is currently seeking medical care and we wish him a speedy recovery. 'We know many of you were looking forward to the show and may have travelled or made special plans, we truly appreciate your understanding at this time. 'Rory will be so upset to have to cancel this show and will be working hard to schedule a show in Lithuania soon.' The post was also captioned: 'Today's concert in Kaunas has been cancelled due to Rag'n'Bone Man unfortunately falling ill. For ticket refunds, please contact your ticket distributor/the point of ticket sale from which you purchased.' The musician is next set to perform in Poland at the Bittersweet Festival in Poznań later this week. He was quickly met with messages of support from fans, who wished him a speedy recovery. 'We were about to leave home and drive to Kaunas when I got the email, very sad news but Rory's health is more important. Get better,' Sandra wrote. 'Take care and we're waiting for you,' Zax shared. 'Wishing u a speedy recovery man,' Helena added. In an interview with Clash last year, he spoke about his love of touring. More Trending 'I think I just enjoy doing loads! I take on as much as possible to make this work,' he said. 'It is exhausting… but I love playing live. So, if you have to get up early, do the gruelling parts, then that's just the way it has to be, I guess. 'I've always loved it, and I still love it now – I don't feel any different than I did 10 years ago, to be honest.' Got a story?

Martin Scorsese ‘threatened to get gun' after request to cut iconic film
Director Martin Scorsese said he was 'threatening' to get a gun and during the making of his 1976 hit Taxi Driver after being asked to cut violence from the film. In the first look at Apple TV+'s upcoming documentary series about the director, titled Mr Scorsese, fellow filmmaker Steven Spielberg said Scorsese called him at his office while he was 'very upset' after being asked to reduce violence in a scene from the psychological thriller. Spielberg recalled their conversation, remembering Scorsese said on the phone: ''Steve, Steve, it's Marty, Steve. Can you come over to the house? ''They want me to cut all the blood spurting, they want me to cut all the blood spurting, they want me to cut the guy who loses his hand.'' In the teaser, Scorsese is asked whether he had a gun at this time, which he denied, but admitted he was threatening to get one. 'I was going to get one,' Scorsese said. 'But I wasn't going to get it, really?' The Oscar winner added: 'I was angry and said I'm going to threaten them or maybe just shoot or something, I had no idea, I mean I was threatening. 'What I wanted to do, and not with a gun, I would go in, find out where the rough cut is and break the windows and take it away. 'They're going to destroy the film anyway, you know, so let me destroy it. 'I'll destroy it, but before destroying it, I'm going to steal it. 'Spielberg and a number of others said, 'Marty, stop that, Marty, you can't do that.'' Scorsese said of the sequence in question that he 'toned the colour down' and made the film grainy, which Spielberg said meant none of the violence had to be cut from the film and 'saved the movie'. Taxi Driver features Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle, a former US Marine who becomes a taxi driver, which earned him his first Oscar nomination and saw co-star Jodie Foster nominated in the best supporting actress category. More Trending The five-part documentary series, directed by award-winning filmmaker Rebecca Miller, features Scorsese's personal archive and interviews with collaborators including actors De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio. It follows the director from his time as a New York University student to the present day, exploring the themes that have influenced his work. The series will be released on the streaming platform on October 17. Got a story?

Games Inbox: Does it matter that physical video games are dying?
The Tuesday letters page asks how quickly Call Of Duty can change, as one reader asks for help speccing out his custom gaming PC. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Old argument Reading about the super rare Xbox game going for £1,000 the only thing I can think of is… it's not even a very good game. I doubt anyone that's thinking of paying that much for it is doing it because they love the game but just because they enjoy collecting rare things. Which is fine, it's not hurting anyone, but I don't think that's a very normal motivation for most people. I get that people don't want physical copies to go away, and everyone likes collecting something, but the relevance of physical copies went away the second that patches came to consoles. So… somewhere around 2000? After that, what's on the disc became irrelevant, because it's never the final game. In some cases there never is a final game. So really all you're collecting is a keepsake. Personally, I'd just collect posters or action figures or something of the games, at least they're more fun to have in your room. But all this complaining about Switch Game-Key Cards… the argument was lost two decades ago, for better or worse. Cranston Time delay As much as I'd like to see Call Of Duty get some serious competition, I really can't see Battlefield 6 outselling Black Ops 7 straight off the bat. We'll see I guess, but I think the problem is that by the time Activision get round to acknowledging the coemption, which will probably take a while because they're so comfortable, how quickly can changes be made? Call Of Duty games used to take three years to make but I don't think there is any set limit now and that's why everything's got out of order – it's just a rush to get whatever they can out of the door. That's the sort of attitude that Battlefield 6's success might help to prevent but that still means we're talking 2028 at the most before there's any shift in attitude. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Will there ever be a year where there isn't a new Call Of Duty, because Activision thought it needed more time in the oven? I doubt it, they'll just puff up some DLC instead, like they did with Modern Warfare 3. Focus The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long RE: Big Boy Bent. I didn't realise the Dreamcast had such a short lifespan either. I remember selling my console to a friend, then a fortnight later he said to me that Sega had stopped making games for it, which I was genuinely unaware of but at least I'd only charged him £50 for it. It's a shame, as it was a great console with some terrific games. I remember being blown away by the fabulous graphics of the arcade port of the boat racing game Hydro Thunder, but if I had one niggle with the Dreamcast it was the control pads, they were especially poor for beat 'em-ups. Adams6Legend Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Accurately named Will you get the chance to review Earthion? It looks amazing, Ancient made some of the best Mega Drive games and this looks like it's following that tradition. Considering how much you liked Gradius Origins I hope this is right up your street. Thanks again for everything, you're always a great read. Beastiebat (PSN ID) Currently playing: Nothing, haven't really got the time, just working through Parks and Rec for the first time with the 20 minutes I can find at the very end if the day… bloomin' school holidays. Tell a lie, I played Game Boy Tetris on my Switch for eight minutes yesterday. GC: Good heavens, how have Ancient been going so long? We may have missed our chance with this but at the very least we'll include it in our end of year catch-up. La Leyenda de Zelda Speaking from the gorgeous island of Tenerife. It's been a few days of sunshine, water park mayhem, and unfortunate sunburn. But when in Spain the sun always shines. Speaking of shining, I mentioned beforehand I'd be buying Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom for Switch 2, as soon as I could. GAME just so happened to spawn at the nearest shopping mall. It's truly unique to have brought a Spanish copy of the game that will actually work in the UK, due to Nintendo being region free. £60 for the title, but you get what you pay for. The privilege of paying top dollar to Nintendo. But at the end of the day, how many consumers can say they own a Spanish region copy, especially in the UK? That's something quite rare actually. Shahzaib Sadiq GC: We hope you don't already own the Switch 1 version, because the Switch 2 upgrade is only £7.99. Simple desires I'm going to be so upset when EA finally shut down BioWare. Let's face it, we all know it's coming and I'm amazed they've lasted this long to be honest. For EA they've been very patient with them and I'm already surprised they didn't get shut down after Anthem. Maybe EA felt guilty for pushing them into making a live service game. What I'm hoping is that Mass Effect is easier to make into game that non-fans will make, since the originals were pretty good third person shooters, amongst other things. I'm still not really clear why Dragon Age: The Veilguard was such a flop. The trailers were bad but I can't imagine they were the only reason people stayed away, because the combat was the best thing about the game. Which I guess undermines my point about Mass Effect. Maybe people are just getting tired of action role-players that aren't Soulslikes. I don't really understand that either, as you'd think people would appreciate the alternative an a game that wasn't ultra hard, but here we are. I wouldn't mind if Mass Effect had a bit of a Soulslike about it, but I don't think anyone has really made that concept work with a sci-fi game based on ranged combat before. Perhaps this could be the first but for me, personally I just want it to be like the old Mass Effects but with better graphics. Does that make me shallow? Gifford Semi-portable Regarding the Nintendo Switch 2. Despite being a long on the making, Nintendo did not even consider at all the ergonomics of the device. This is baffling. It is so uncomfortable to hold. I would have preferred a much smaller handheld to be fair, as well. Sheel Don't ask us I am planning to get a custom gaming PC from PC Specialist and I was wondering if other GameCentral readers could advise me on what parts to buy? As this is a lot of info to take in and I need advice for someone new (me) to buying my custom build. I would like a PC tower with 2TB SSD hard drive (a fast one, within my price range), at least 32GB RAM (fast as I can afford), i7 CPU, graphics card obviously. My budget is £2,000. I will pay for the delivery and warranty separately to that. I have a £15 off voucher from Edge magazine for PC Specialist. I want to target 1080p at 60fps, as that is what Simundo in the Inbox said he would do with his gaming PC when he buys it. I have a 1080p Phillips PC monitor and a 4K LG 60 inch TV. I will run the computer on one screen at a time. My friend is going to put my mechanical 8TB hard drive bought in July 2023 in the new PC and the Blu-ray writer both from my old PC. I don't want a fancy case, just one that does the job and does not fall apart, like the one I bought in 2004 from a different PC vendor. Do I need to buy bays for the 8TB hard drive and Blu-ray writer when I buy a tower from PC Specialist? I have to get a new PC by October 2025, as my current PC will not upgrade to Windows 11. I do use the PC for gaming but I also use it for using office programs, printing, email, web surfing, any other task I need it for. Could a GameCentral reader or unboxer advise me please? Thank you in advance. Andrew J. Inbox also-ransI fully endorse the idea of a Lego Batman v Superman, they'll have great fun mocking how terrible it is, I think.
