Ben Affleck Doesn't Want To React to Jennifer Lopez's New Songs, Says ‘Source'
Many fans have been speculating that 's new songs, 'Up All Night' and 'Wreckage Of You', talk about her breakup with now ex-husband, Ben Affleck. However, the 'Pearl Harbor' actor will reportedly not let the tracks affect him and make him feel 'hurt.' Per the Daily Mail, Affleck also does not wish to give any reaction to the songs. Ben Affleck is keeping quiet about Jennifer Lopez's new song, says 'source' Jennifer Lopez has debuted two new songs, including 'Wreckage Of You' and 'Up All Night', and many fans speculate that the lyrics are about her split from ex-husband, Ben Affleck. The song, 'Wreckage Of You', has lyrics like 'Thank you for the scars you left on my heart / For showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark.' It also includes lyrics such as 'Because of you, I am stronger, wiser / Better than I've ever been.' In the meantime, the track 'Up All Night' has lyrics such as 'I'm up all night, dancing on somebody, living my best life / I bet you wish that you were by my side.' It also includes lines like 'I got tired of you breaking me down / Look at me now.' As reported by the Daily Mail, a 'source' told them that Ben Affleck does not want to 'entertain' these songs. The person questioned, 'If this song or any others bash him, what can he do?' They continued, 'It's childish and not something he wants to entertain.' The 'insider' further said to the news outlet that Ben Affleck won't be 'hurt' by the songs. The person claimed, 'It is something he can't control, so he isn't going to let it hurt him.' 'He's definitely not going to give it life by reacting,' the 'source' added. The filing for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce took place in August 2024. It was reportedly finalized in 2025.

'Ultimate,' 'A Little Bit Alexis' and 13 Other Fake Songs We Still Can't Get Out of Our Heads
These tunes have surpassed only existing within the worlds of their shows and movies and gone on to become cultural phenomenons all on their own No matter how many years pass, these songs have made their mark on our collective consciousness, seemingly for good. And no, it doesn't matter that they are not "real" songs and only existed within the confines of their respective television show or movie. In fact, that only adds to the magic. From Annie Murphy's showstopping performance of "A Little Bit Alexis" on Schitt's Creek to Lindsay Lohan rocking out to "Ultimate" in Freaky Friday, read on to see our top 15 favorite "fake" songs that we can't stop singing to this day. "Ultimate" - Freaky Friday No one was cooler than Lindsay Lohan in 2003 and performing "Ultimate" at the end of Freaky Friday with her her fictional band Pink Slip only helped solidify her status as queen of the early-aughts. While we're not sure what's on their set list these days, Pink Slip's return in the upcoming Freakier Friday movie is sure to provide at least one more anthem. "A Little Bit Alexis" - Schitt's Creek Throughout its six season run, Schitt's Creek provided countless laughs as audiences watched the outrageously hilarious family dynamics play out between David, Alexis, Moira and Johnny Rose. One of the most memorable moments, though, came during season 5 when Alexis, played by Annie Murphy, auditioned for the town's production of Cabaret with a live rendition of "A Little Bit Alexis," which was "the title track off of my critically reviewed, limited reality series." What followed is an incredible 30 seconds replete with choreography we've all tried to replicate. Though the show has been off the air for more than five years, this song will surely live on for decades to come. (And don't worry — there's a full 3:26 version of the song, written by Murphy herself, if you need a longer dance break.) "Smelly Cat" — Friends Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe Buffay belted out several perfectly quirky tunes throughout Friends' 10 seasons. Whether it was inside cozy Central Perk or outside on the streets of New York City, Phoebe had a song for everything. While many were eternally catchy, none have stood the test of time quite like "Smelly Cat." "The Bone Dance" - Hannah Montana How many of us used Miley Stewart's "The Bone Dance" ourselves when trying to remember the names of all the bones? "When I milk the cow, on Uncle Earl's farm, I use the Ulna bone, that is in my arm." With lyrics like that, along with her matching choreography, it was an instant classic and very useful! "Let's Go to the Mall" - How I Met Your Mother When we meet Robin on How I Met Your Mother, it's been years since her career as Canadian pop star Robin Sparkles. But it was only a matter of time before her friends found out her dark secret and introduced us to the instant classic "Let's Go to the Mall." Go ahead and rock your body 'til Canada Day. "On a Roll" - Black Mirror Miley Cyrus was back belting out made-for-TV earworm when she played Ashley O on Black Mirror with the song "On a Roll." Rocking a purple bob wig, the accompanying music video is instantly iconic "Boyz 'N Motion" - That's So Raven This song from the fictional band of the same name made me so very sad that they only existed within the realm of the That's So Raven universe. It's been 20 years since the season 3 episode premiered and I can still see those three boys dancing together to the catchy tune like it aired yesterday. "Feeling the Love" - That's So Raven (Again!) Another That's So Raven hit came from Raven's little brother and his band (which featured David Henrie before he broke out on Wizards of Waverly Place). The song might have been short but its impact is two decades strong. "Crazy, Funky, Junky Hat" - Wizards of Waverly Place As best friends do, Alex and Harper on Wizards of Waverly Place had their fair share of inside jokes and silly moments, one of which is the famous "Crazy, Funky, Junky Hat" song — shout out Keira Knightly! Years later Selena Gomez and Jennifer Stone took a trip back in time and revisited the song in a TikTok video where the two did their old choreography, though this time, with a drink in hand. "In the Moonlight (Do Me)' - Modern Family Though Haley might have been moved by her boyfriend Dylan's love song and its accompanying video, her family had a bit of a different reaction — perhaps it was due to his lyrics "I just want to do you/ Do you want to do me/ Underneath the moonlight?" The song might have gotten Haley grounded but Dylan and his eyeliner have been stuck in our heads ever since. "The Legend of the Rent" - School of Rock One of Jack Black's best roles came more than 20 years ago in 2003's School of Rock, in which the comedian plays a guitarist who pretends to be a substitute teacher for reasons. Rather than teach math or english, Dewey Finn opts to teach his students music and crucial life lessons, and during one of his lessons performs an impromptu performance of "Legend of the Rent." inspired by his recent eviction from his apartment and band. "Supernova Girl" - Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century The year is 1999 and Raven-Symoné and Kirsten Storms are bopping along as they're serenaded by Proto Zoa singing "Supernova Girl." There's spiky bleach blonde hair, a silver leather jacket and they're all in outer space. It's a pretty unforgettable moment in Disney Channel Original Movie history. "Squirrels in My Pants" - 'Phineas and Ferb' "There's 104 days of summer vacation and school comes along just to end it....," you know the rest. In addition to animated series' theme song, Phineas and Ferb was the source of many fun tunes. They include "S.I.M.P. Squirrels in my Pants" about, you guessed it, the experience of having squirrels crawling around your pants. "Pop Goes My Heart" - Music and Lyrics Movie openings don't get much better than 2007's Music and Lyrics which sees Hugh Grant decked out in full '80s glory singing the song "Pop Goes My Heart." There's long hair, dark shades and killer dance moves. "Shiny Teeth" - Fairly Odd Parents With his pearly whites secured back in his mouth, Chip Skylark is ready to film a music video for the aptly titled "Shiny Teeth" about his teeth that "twinkle just like the stars in the space." It would be hard to talk about Fairly Odd Parents and not also talk about another iconic Chip Skylark song from the series "Icky Vicky" about Timmy's babysitter, which gets an honorable mention on this list.

Travis Kelce Shares the 'Hardest Part' of Hosting SNL
Travis Kelce Shares the 'Hardest Part' of Hosting SNL originally appeared on Men's Fitness. Travis Kelce hosted Saturday Night Live in 2023, and in a recent interview on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, he revealed the hardest part that came with the high honors of hosting: reading. "The writers' rooms were fun because you're just getting pitched ideas. The table reading, for a guy that can't really read that well, it was kind of a f----- situation," Kelce said. "The table reading was the hardest f------ part." Kelce hosted the 14th episode of SNL's 48th season back in March 2023 with country singer Kelsea Ballerini joining as the musical guest. "I felt like I was just trying to get through the reading instead of actually acting it out and giving it a voice and giving it a character and things like that. I was just focused on, 'Don't f------ skip this line,'" he he got past the table reading, he had a good time and felt "so much more comfortable." "There was still a sense of like, 'I need to be a professional here,'" Kelce said. "I want to take advantage of this, but I want to have fun doing it, but I don't want to look like a loser doing this. I want to make them respect my approach and how I'm like taking it serious. But it was just a fun roller coaster, man." Some of Kelce's sketches included "American Girl Café," where Kelce joked with dolls, and "Garrett from Hinge," a funny dating bit with Bowen Yang. He also starred in the "Self-Defense" sketch, showing off his comedic skills alongside the "Please Don't Destroy" Kelce Shares the 'Hardest Part' of Hosting SNL first appeared on Men's Fitness on Jul 2, 2025 This story was originally reported by Men's Fitness on Jul 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
