Kevin Smith's prayers are answered with new ‘Dogma' release, this time with less death threats!

For more than a quarter century, director Kevin Smith has tried to resurrect 'Dogma,' his devoutly religious comedy about two fallen angels looking to get back into heaven. Recently his prayers for the 1999 film were finally answered. On Friday, the movie will be blessed with a theatrical re-release across 1,500 AMC Theater screens in honor of the film's 25th anniversary.
Technically, the milestone was last year. But when it comes to the second coming of a movie that brought us one of the on-screen pairings of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and an A-list comedic ensemble—including George Carlin, Chris Rock, Janeane Garofalo and Alan Rickman—and the ever-meme-able winking 'Buddy Christ'…it still warrants a latent hallelujah.

Sources revealed that Affleck feels conflicted but prefers keeping things in perspective. Ben Affleck is not okay with Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas dating, says insider Ana de Armas is famously dating Tom Cruise, and her ex-boyfriend, Ben Affleck, may not be too happy with that. Affleck was reportedly focusing on his family during an outing right when headlines broke about Cruise and de Armas' relationship. A source speaking to the Daily Mail described Affleck's feelings. They shared, 'Ben is kind of [a] jealous [type], yup. He really liked Ana a lot and then she walked away and left him sad.' The source added, 'So to see her happy with his friend is kind of weird for him.' Moreover, there's an added layer to Affleck's feelings since he and Cruise have shared the Hollywood spotlight for decades. 'I think every working actor in Hollywood is jealous of Tom's success and Ben is not any different,' the source claimed. But jealousy doesn't eclipse respect.

Jennifer Lopez turned away at Chanel store in Istanbul

Jennifer Lopez was reportedly turned away from shopping at Chanel in Istanbul earlier this week, a day before rocking the Turkish capital as part of her summer tour. The 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' singer, 56, was shopping at high-end mall Istinye Park on Monday when a guard at Chanel told her the store was at full capacity, according to Turkiye Today. 'OK, no problem,' the Bronx-born A-lister answered, cool as a very wealthy, very famous cucumber. Employees later invited her to shop at Chanel, but Lopez declined, per local business outlet Patronlar Dünyasi. She reportedly went on to spend tens of thousands of dollars at other designer stores like Celine. A representative for Lopez did not respond to the Daily News' request for comment. A day after the reported incident, Lopez performed at the Istanbul Festival at Yenikapi Festival Park as part of her Up All Night Tour. She also played the Turkish city of Antalya late last month. The current tour comes a year after Lopez's infamously canceled This Is Me… Live Tour to promote her 'This Is Me… Now' album, largely centered on her reconciliation with Ben Affleck. Colloquially known as Bennifer, the couple was engaged in the early aughts and got back together in spring 2021. They tied the knot in two ceremonies in summer 2022, with Lopez filing for divorce on the second anniversary of the latter wedding. The split was legally finalized earlier this year. Lopez joked at her Bilbao, Spain, show in mid-July that she's 'done' with marriage following four divorces — from Affleck, Marc Anthony, Cris Judd and Ojani Noa — and additional engagements.
