Jennifer Lopez opening the American Music Awards felt like a preview of her forthcoming Las Vegas residency
Jennifer Lopez is officially Jenny heading to a different block.
The superstar singer and actress has announced she will be doing a brief Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, December 30 to January 3 and March 6 to 28.
'SURPRISE JLOVERS! We're back! I'm doing a residency in Las Vegas!,' a post on her Instagram handle reads.
Lopez also shared a video in front of Caesars Palace with the caption, 'Up All Night on The Strip!' as she and famed vocal coach and singer Stevie Mackey jammed with a crowd to her single, 'On The Floor.'
The announcement came after Lopez opened Monday night's American Music Awards with an energetic medley of more than two dozen hits by Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny and more. The performance was a reminder that she got started in the business as a dancer as Lopez, who also hosted the show, showed off her impressive moves.
Lopez last year canceled a planned summer tour. The news came in May 2024, amid reports Lopez and her then husband Ben Affleck had been living apart.
Lopez offered a personal statement to her fans at the time.
'I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary,' Lopez wrote. 'I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again.'
Tickets for her upcoming Vegas shows go on sale on Friday, June 6.

Pope Leo XIV joins Chicago's Icon Hall of Fame
CHICAGO — Chicago's history is filled with larger-than-life personalities, but no Chicagoan has achieved quite the mix of fame and faith that Pope Leo has. From the Red Line to the skyline, and from comedians to coaches, Chicago is a city of icons. The Windy Cindy is the long-term home of the world's best basketball player, Michael Jordan, and the nation's biggest TV star, Oprah. It's the birthplace of Disney and deep dish, and the home of the first Black president and now the first American pope. 'I never knew until recently that the pope has never been from the U.S., let alone Chicago. I think it's cool, really cool,' Andrew Billups said. Pope Leo XIV was on the front of nearly every newspaper worldwide. His face is already one of the most recognizable in the world. Chicago is also taking center stage on late night TV. 'Regardless of your beliefs, I think it's pretty cool that Chicago's getting represented on a global scale,' Molly Meinhart said. In front of another Chicago icon — the Wrigley Field Marquee — Meinhart says the pope will take his place in a long line of Chicago icons. 'It's pretty cool piecing together all of the things that have always been famous and now new famous things. I can say I lived in Chicago when we got the pope,' Meinhart said. One of Chicago's signature hot dog stands, the Weiner's Circle, paid tribute to the pope. 'I think it's incredible. I hope he'll be an excellent representative of the city and the needs of Americans and Catholics worldwide,' Matt Ott said. Chicago embraced the pope in t-shirts, social media memes and sandwiches. Sports fans have attended Bears games dressed as Mike Ditka. Now, baseball fans are coming to Sox games as the pope. 'I saw a meme about the Bean being placed in the Vatican, I thought it was a funny thing. It's important that it's a new place for America in the world,' Liya Johny said. In Dolton, William Nowling lives next to the pope's childhood home. He knows his block is a landmark because it once sheltered Chicago's newest icon. 'I hope he at least visits the block again,' he said. 'I hope the pope moves back here. That'd be too much of a stretch, but I hope they leave it as a landmark.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Only on News 19: Turning pain into purpose one veteran at a time
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — One letter forever changed Justin Carter and his family's lives. Carter, a 22-year Army veteran, lost his brother-in-law, John Cloyd, to suicide after Cloyd's service in the Marines. Pathway of Madison Co. still fighting for its business license after public hearing 'With John having to travel so much, he spent an unholy amount of time in his vehicle,' Carter said. 'So, I went through it, and it was a scene that you could imagine from that kind of situation. Glass was everywhere. There was bodily fluids and blood everywhere. There was a letter from him, to him from the Veterans Affairs, with his appeal denial.' Cloyd was seeking service-connected VA benefits for depression following his service. His initial VA claim was denied, so he appealed. That appeal was also denied. Cloyd took his life shortly after receiving the letter stating his second denial, leaving his wife and two kids behind on Christmas. That was the letter Carter found covered in blood in Cloyd's car. How is our driving? City of Athens seeking input for new transportation safety plan 'It was hard to take because it's somebody who was screaming for help, and that help wasn't given,' Carter said. 'We've been around suicides before, and I've never had one hit so close to home.' After seeing the people he loves shatter after Cloyd's death, Carter felt called to create change in life after service and do what he could to ensure no other veteran feels the way Cloyd did. Carter then created a new non-profit: Rally Point at the Summit. The name has roots in military practices. 'Rally point is a military term for a place we all meet up,' Carter said. 'We regroup, assess our injuries, and come up with a plan to move forward. The summit is the top. A lot of people are extremely good, especially military folks, at hiding what they're feeling. You're not doing this alone. We're going to be there with you, and we're going to help you as much as we can.' The new non-profit aims to help veterans in a variety of ways, from free assistance with VA benefits applications to eventually being able to provide some financial support for vets who need it. What sets the organization apart is its focus on conquering outdoor challenges and forming camaraderie and companionship while they do it. 'To get the guys out there and take them to places that are challenging,' Carter said. 'You're in our hands. We've got you. And to feel that connection, you know, and to say you're not alone, no matter how challenging it is.' Carter is doing all of this in the name of Cloyd, saying he will play his part in making sure no one feels alone and paralyzed by circumstance. Carter is awaiting the 501c3 official approval, but is accepting donations to build up his organization through GoFundMe. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
