Jennifer Lopez needed facial stitches due to AMAs rehearsal injuries
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.'
It's unclear what part of the show Lopez was rehearsing when she injured herself and what particular injuries she sustained.
The multi-hyphenate will host and perform during the AMAs in Las Vegas on Memorial Day on May 26, airing on CBS and Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET.
Recent days have also brought new developments in the Lopez-Ben Affleck divorce saga.
The exes, who have spent the better part of a year trying to sell their Beverly Hills marital mansion, last week slashed the price from $68 million to just under $60 million, reportedly at Affleck's urging.

Michelle Obama releasing style book after looks 'constantly dissected' in White House
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a book looking back at her favorite fashion and style moments over the years. Obama said she wanted to write the beauty book, titled "The Look," to "reclaim" her story after her looks were scrutinized during her time in the White House. "During our family's time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled," she wrote in an Instagram announcement. "For a while now, I've been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way. I'm thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I'm excited to share some of what I've learned along the way," she added. The $50 book, to be released on November 4, features more than 200 photographs of the former first lady, including never-before-published images, according to publisher Crown Publishing Group. Obama said the book will give readers a behind-the-scenes look at her most memorable looks and the meaningful moments that accompanied them. It will also introduce readers to her style team from over the years. "The Look is about more than fashion. It's about confidence. It's about identity. It's about the power of authenticity," Obama said in her social media announcement. "My hope is that this book sparks conversation and reflection about the ways we see ourselves — and the way our society defines beauty." Obama has spoken out before about her style being scrutinized during her time in the White House. During the book tour for her 2022 book, "The Light We Carry," Obama revealed that she straightened her hair while her husband Barack Obama was in office because she didn't feel Americans were ready to accept her natural hair. The American people were "just getting adjusted" to having a Black president and weren't "ready" to see the first lady's hair in braids, she believed, according to a report in The Washington Post. "Let me keep my hair straight," Obama said of her thoughts at the time. "Let's get healthcare passed." In April, Obama revealed that fashion was one reason she skipped President Donald Trump's second inauguration. "It started with not having anything to wear," Obama said on her podcast, "IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson." "I mean, I had affirmatively, cause I'm always prepared for any funeral, anything," Obama added. "I walk around with the right dress, I travel with clothes just in case something pops off. So I was like, if I'm not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team, I don't even want to have a dress ready, right? Because it's so easy to just say, let me do the right thing."

Donald Trump's Pardon For NBA YoungBoy Could Be In Jeopardy
Hip-Hop fans were elated when Donald Trump chose to pardon YoungBoy Never Broke Again's probation sentence for gun charges. However, Utah lawmakers didn't share that excitement and may look to fight against the decision. 'We are extremely proud of the work our investigator and prosecutors did on this case, as well as grateful for all the help we received from other local and federal agencies,' Cache County attorney Taylor Sorensen and Sheriff D. Chad Jensen wrote in a joint statement to KUTV. 'Mr. Gaulden [YB] pled guilty to the charges in this investigation, and we feel strongly the Justice System in Cache County is far from a 'weaponized system of justice.' We have highly trained, honest, experienced and professional sheriff's investigators and county prosecutors, along with respected District Court Judges and Defense Attorneys.' Trevor Lee, a member of the Utah House District 16, supported his perspective on X. 'As a state we should still go after him,' he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. It is unclear whether Utah lawmakers will be successful, but it is clear where they stand on YoungBoy Never Broke Again. The Baton Rouge, La. rapper had been living in the state for a few years now while serving his house arrest sentence. Last year, he pleaded guilty to felonious gun possession charges and was sentenced to 23 months in prison, five years of probation, and had to pay $200,000 for a separate gun charge. This past March, he was released from prison and credited for time served, allowing him to return to home confinement, which he completed in April. Donald Trump's pardon eliminated his probation sentence and he expressed his gratitude via social media. 'I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist,' he wrote on Instagram.
