Jennifer Lopez Helps Out Hairdresser After Devastating Jeep Fire
Read the full story on Backfire News
A hairdresser who's worked with Jennifer Lopez has publicly thanked her for helping out after his Jeep Wrangler burned to a crisp on a Texas highway. The man, Barry Lee Moe, is an award-winning stylist who has worked on multiple TV and movie sets throughout this career.He said he was working on location for three months and decided to drive back in his Jeep, taking the famous Route 66 home to Los Angeles. While traveling near Amarillo, Texas the Wrangler started to smoke, then caught fire and quickly burned.
Not only did Moe lose his ride, he says numerous 'treasured personal belongings' as well as much of his tools of trade were consumed by the flames. Looking at the pictures, the guy is lucky he didn't lose his life, too.
If you've ever been traveling cross country when something devastating has happened to your car, you know how this feels. It's bad enough when you just have to pay out for an expensive repair. Losing your vehicle and a lot of your personal items, including tools of your trade, in one fell swoop is just gut wrenching.
On top of that, Moe says he's been struggling mental health-wise lately, so having a big setback like this in life was just that much harder. Thankfully, Jennifer Lopez and her team stepped up, helping the man get back to Los Angeles 'without question.'
It's good to have friends who will step in and help out when you face tragedies like this. We have no idea what caused the fire, like a loose fuel line fitting, power steering leak, or an electrical short. But it's great the guy had Jennfier Lopez to fall back on so he could still make it back home.

Powerball draw 1517: Lucky Aussie wins ENTIRE $100 million jackpot
One lucky Aussie's life has just changed forever after taking out Powerball's incredible $100 million jackpot. Australia's newest multi-millionaire was the only winner in tonight's draw, which was Powerball's biggest jackpot of the year. The jackpot doubled after last week's $50m draw failed to be won. While not many details are known about the winner yet, they now officially share the title of Australia's third-highest lottery winner. What is known is that the ticket was purchased in either NSW or the ACT. With this week's massive offering, officials from The Lott anticipated up to half of all adults in the country would be purchasing a ticket. Tonight's winning numbers are: 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21, with the all-important Powerball number 6. The last big win was back in early May, when a man from Cessnock in NSW became an instant multi-millionaire with an incredible $30m win. He burst into uncontrollable laughter when he heard the good news, and said he saw the win as a sign of good things to come after having a "rough trot" lately. 'I just had this ticket on the fridge. I was looking at it this afternoon and thought, 'wouldn't it be lovely to win'," he told The Lott. 'The ticket was there with all the bills. There will be no more worrying about bills now. I don't care if I get a bill now!" Only six Aussies know what it's like to win $100m. One of those lucky winners was a Queensland woman who took home half of the record-breaking $200m Powerball jackpot last February. Reflecting on her win more than a year on, the new millionaire revealed she's since embraced a sea change, relocating from the suburb of Hawthorne in Brisbane to a serene coastal home. "I often speak with my partner about the version of us from last year to now, and if only we knew what was to come," she said. "On a day-to-day basis, not a huge amount has changed. I still get up for the 6am gym session, and the dog still needs to be walked and fed. The longer-term vision we have for our life is slowly coming together." Do you have a story tip?

Singaporean jailed six months in Taiwan for stalking Golden Melody Award winner Olivia Tsao Ya-wen
TAIPEI, June 12 — A Singaporean woman has been sentenced to six months in jail in Taiwan for stalking and harassing Golden Melody Award-winning singer Olivia Tsao Ya-wen, after her obsession with the star escalated into threats and public confrontation. According to The Straits Times, Cassandra Low, a woman in her 30s, was found guilty by the New Taipei District Court of endangering the personal safety of Tsao, and of offences including stalking, harassment and public insult. The court's verdict, published on June 5, followed months of troubling behaviour that forced the singer and her agent to leave their homes. Low, described in court documents as a long-time fan of Tsao, began contacting the singer via personal emails and messages on Facebook and Instagram from November 2023. However, her behaviour took a dark turn after she was blocked on social media by Tsao. According to the judgment, Low reacted by posting threats and abuse directed at the singer, her family, and her agent. In one Facebook post, she wrote: 'I can be very aggressive. The more stubborn she is... don't blame me for whatever I do to her parents.' In another, she said: 'Blocking me, see how I slowly let her agent die.' The online threats eventually drove both Tsao and her agent to leave their residences in New Taipei City out of fear for their safety. The situation intensified in February when Low followed Tsao to Banqiao high-speed rail station after learning the singer was travelling. She grabbed Tsao's luggage and phone in an attempt to pressure her into restoring contact. In a video recorded by Tsao, Low is seen physically blocking her and demanding a reconciliation until police intervened. The court sentenced Low to six months in prison. She may choose to pay a commuted fine of NT$1,000 (S$43) per day of her sentence, but the court noted that her high salary as a Singaporean — reportedly more than twice that of a typical Taiwanese worker — meant a financial penalty alone would not reflect the severity of her actions. Low will be deported once she serves her sentence or pays the full fine. Tsao, 38, responded to the verdict in a June 11 post on social media, saying: 'This is the most comforting piece of news I have received recently,' and thanked her supporters and legal team for their help. Better known by her Chinese name Tsao Ya-wen, the singer performs primarily in Taiwanese Hokkien and won the Best Female Taiwanese Singer award at the Golden Melody Awards in 2021. She has previously spoken about feeling 'helpless and uncomfortable' when fans crossed personal boundaries, though she did not identify individuals at the time.
