Love might not cost a thing but performing sure does. Jennifer Lopez hurt herself during rehearsals for the American Music Awards she's hosting later this month and took to social media to show off her injuries, which required stitches.
The Love Don't Cost A Thing singer, 55, shared multiple pictures of the aftermath on her Instagram stories late Tuesday.
'So this happened…' the Bronx-born star captioned a selfie in which she presses an ice pack against her right eye.
'(During @amas rehearsals),' Lopez captioned a subsequent selfie, highlighting a cut on her nose and her bruised eyes.
In a third photo, Lopez, looking dolled up, posed beside facial plastic surgeon Dr Jason B. Diamond, who she thanked for 'stitching me up.'
She added: 'A week later and a whole lotta ice, I'm good as new.'

Not Bulgari: Meet the indie designer behind Zendaya's dazzling engagement ring
When Zendaya took to the Golden Globes carpet this year with a very large and very sparkly engagement ring, the internet was soon abuzz with questions over who had designed it. It wasn't Bulgari, the Italian jewellery house for whom Zendaya is a brand ambassador. Nor was it a big name brand owned by a luxury conglomerate. Instead, the ring, a 5.02-carat diamond in a slightly quirky Georgian-style setting, was the work of Jessica McCormack, a New Zealand-born designer who has become a go-to for cool 'day diamonds' by the likes of Dakota Johnson and Dua Lipa – and a growing fan base of wealthy women who don't believe their sparkles should languish in the safe. 'What's the point in that?' McCormack said last week from an armchair in her first store in the US, which opened recently on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. 'There's no joy if you can't see them and others can't enjoy them on you.' McCormack, who speaks with a friendly Kiwi twang, wore a fuzzy grey cardigan, old deck shoes, white socks with red hearts and diamonds. Lots of them, in fact, shimmering on her ears, neck and wrists as workers put the finishing touches on the wood-paneled beaux-arts town house designed by restoration architectural firm Johnston Cave Associates. Jessica McCormack had no formal design training prior to starting her brand. Photo: Instagram/Jessica McCormack 'My whole idea is of relaxed ease and fitting into your daily life,' she said. 'It's about functionality and fantasy, making jewels that are fun and cool but wearable and that just make you incredibly happy every time you look in the mirror.' Read more: Jewellery of English aristocracy and Hollywood royalty set for London exhibition McCormack had no formal design training. But her father, an art and antiques dealer, helped hone a magpie's eye for vintage treasures and craftsmanship. There followed a stint in Sotheby's fine jewellery department in London, where her appreciation for vintage pieces grew as she handled Russian crown jewels alongside Cartier and Lalique pieces from the 1920s. After some experimentation designing pieces in an antique-meets-modern aesthetic, she started her namesake brand in 2008, with debut pieces like her Wings of Desire earrings, a sweep of graduated diamonds that climb up the ear and caught the eye of Rihanna, who became one of her first customers. Other cult pieces, spotted on Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Adele, Meghan Markle, Victoria Beckham and Margot Robbie, include her Gypset earrings, little hoops with suspended Georgian-style button-back diamonds, sapphires, emeralds or rubies that are highly covetable (and widely imitated). Her Ball N Chain necklace can be layered with assorted diamond pendants in an array of cuts and prices. Some could come from McCormack's latest Fruit Salad collection – that is, peaches, pears, apples, cherries and lemons made out of intricately set pave gemstones and 18-karat gold. The pieces strike a balance between looking at home on the red carpet and being trendy, easy-breezy accessories to wear for drinks or on the school run (albeit for the rarefied few who wouldn't think twice about wearing a seven-carat rock with a T-shirt and jeans). 'The appeal of Jessica McCormack's pieces is their distinct unfussiness coupled with plenty of charm and fun,' said Daisy Shaw-Ellis, US Vogue 's jewellery director. 'She has modernised antique and vintage designs and pushed the boundaries with expected materials without losing their integrity.' A major weapon in McCormack's arsenal are her investors. Rachel Slack is of the Oppenheimer dynasty, and Michael Rosenfeld is a third-generation diamantaire. At the time when the ring made an appearance on Zendaya's finger, everyone was questioning who designed it. Photo: AFP Last year, Lingotto, an investment firm owned by the Agnelli family's holding company, Exor, also took a stake. They all hail from family businesses that understand the eccentricities and complexities of the long game in luxury jewellery, unlike many venture capitalists who often invest in brands to make a quick profit, only to be left sorely disappointed. Their steady backing has allowed McCormack to take some big risks. A five-story Mayfair town house opened in 2013 opposite the Connaught hotel on Carlos Place in London (and a new neighbor in Phoebe Philo is rumoured to be opening a flagship next door). Part retail store, part basement workshop where clients can watch craftspeople at work, the space features an ever-evolving rotation of books, art, furniture and curiosities that both shape and reflect McCormack's taste. It is a formula she looked to replicate when opening her New York store. Or, in her words, 'a homely place full of interesting bits and bobs and genres and styles that really make you think and drive home the personality of our brand'. Think multicoloured drink trays by Matilda Goad, Nina Campbell glassware, antique 19th-century Maori portraits, Christopher Moore wallpapers, Jilly Cooper novels, family photos, upholstered sofas by Robert Kime and artwork, including a giant Valerie Belin photograph that came from her own kitchen in London. Upstairs are vintage wooden boxes that McCormack likes to transform into jewellery cases, with secret embroidered compartments and personalised messages inside. Read more: Make the right choice – the right jewellery can elevate your entire look 'The vast majority of our sales are done in person,' said Leonie Brantberg, the company's CEO. 'As we establish ourselves in a new market, we feel it's critical to have our own spaces where we can express this DNA and build direct relationships with our clients.' The brand has quadrupled in size over the last four years, Brantberg said, with sales of US$50mil (approximately RM212mil) last year. Half of the clients are women buying for themselves. Given McCormack's extensive Hollywood clientele, she is now looking west and may open a store in Los Angeles next year. US customers, she said, tend to buy more and buy faster and now make up more than a third of sales. She wants to meet them where they are. 'Not going the wholesale route was a slower path, but it means I really understand who I am selling to,' McCormack said. 'And while we love our male customers, my business is incredibly female-driven, and I absolutely love that. It's not about your husband buying it for you.' – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

Sarah Silverman reveals grandfather may have killed her infant brother
Sarah Silverman has opened up on a dark family secret. Photo: TNS Sarah Silverman has opened up on a dark family secret, revealing for the first time what her father told her about the death of her brother when he was three months old. In a new interview for Rolling Stone , the 54-year-old comedian said that for years she and her sisters thought baby Jeffrey died as the result of a crib accident. But in 2022, her father finally told her that he believed his own dad killed him after shaking him in a violent rage. The tragic incident occurred before she was born, when Jeffrey was being babysat while Silverman's parents were on vacation. 'The story was that something happened with the crib, and Jeffrey's little body slid and he got suffocated. But if you look back, there was never a lawsuit with the crib company or anything,' she told Rolling Stone. Silverman said her father delivered the shocking revelation after watching her perform in the off-Broadway musical adaptation of her memoir, The Bedwetter , which included a joke about the infant's death. 'My dad says, 'I always felt that he was crying or something, and my dad shook him,'' she recalled. ''He shook him in a rage and killed him.'' 'As soon as he said it, it was like, 'Of course, that's what happened,'' she continued. 'His mother always stood by her husband. She watched him beat the s— out of her son. I couldn't ask my mum, because she was dead.' Silverman's mother, Beth, died in 2015, while her father – who she called her 'best pal' – died in 2023. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
