JLo's AMAs Performance a PR Move Post Ben Affleck Divorce, ‘Source' Claims
Jennifer Lopez had the internet talking after her intoxicating performance at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs). The singer and songwriter, who also hosted this year's ceremony, made jaws drop when she locked lips with both male and female dancers during her epic opening number. While Lopez's on-stage act garnered mixed reactions, a report has now claimed that her performance at the AMAs was a PR move following her divorce from Ben Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez's much-talked-about performance at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) may have been a strategic move, a new report has suggested. The Daily Mail exclusively learned from a source that the 55-year-old singer-actor 'followed the direction of her PR.' They claimed that Lopez 'did exactly what she was told to do for her post-Ben [Affleck] comeback.' The actor parted ways with her ex-husband last year when she filed for divorce in August.
The former spouses' divorce was finalized in January this year. Since then, Jennifer Lopez has remained occupied with her back-to-back gigs, including the AMAs. The Daily Mail source continued to share that the singer 'is living her best life and has zero f—s to give right now.' The insider noted that she stayed 'brave' despite having 'dealt with so much uncertainty.' They even added that Lopez 'did not allow the negative commentary to bring her down.' Instead, she 'kept going and living her life.'
Besides her alleged PR move at the AMAs, Jennifer Lopez has recently been candid about her outlook on life. It's clear she is focusing on her career and having a good time. Lopez told PEOPLE during a recent interview that 'it seems like a perfect summer to celebrate being free and being happy.' The musician added, 'Just everything in my life right now just feels really healthy and good.' Lopez also expressed her excitement for her upcoming WorldPride gig and the 'Up All Night: Live in 2025' tour.

Source: Katy Perry's Album Reception Has Caused "Tension" and "Stress" in Orlando Bloom Relationship
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly been going through a rough patch in their relationship. A source tells People that the couple experienced some tension due to Katy's stress over the reception of her new album, 143. "Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album," the insider explained. "It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension." Another source added that "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship." Neither source noted what's happening in their relationship at the moment, or if things have improved. But these two have been together forever—and gotten through rough patches before! In fact, they briefly broke up in 2017 (per their reps, they were "taking respectful loving space"), a split that Katy opened up about last year. "I mean, he was in a way, because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions," she said. "I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was just like, 'I can't do this anymore. I need to go swim in a different pond,' but I had yet to do a lot of real work." Ultimately, Katy and Orly both worked on themselves and got back together thanks to the singer initiating a reunion. "We all have our strengths and then our opportunities for growth," she said. "But one of his strengths [is] when I crumble, he can step in and be that anchor. That's amazing, because I'm usually just alpha, alpha, you know? I'm like testosterone, testosterone. 'I got this. I don't need any help,' but actually I do need help. I do need a partner."

UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway sanction 2 far-right Israeli Cabinet ministers
JERUSALEM -- Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway said Tuesday they have imposed sanctions on two far-right Israeli government ministers for allegedly 'inciting extremist violence' against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich face asset freezes and travel bans from the five countries. The ministers are champions of expanding Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The decision by Western governments friendly to Israel was a sharp rebuke of Israel's settlement policies in the West Bank and of settler violence, which has spiked since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack ignited the war in the Gaza Strip. The five countries' foreign ministers said in a joint statement that Ben-Gvir and Smotrich 'have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. Extremist rhetoric advocating the forced displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements is appalling and dangerous.' Israel's Foreign Ministry said earlier it had been informed of the sanctions. Smotrich, the country's finance minister, wrote on social media that he found out that Britain had decided to sanction him for obstructing the viability of a Palestinian state. 'We are determined to continue building,' he said. 'We overcame Pharoah, we'll overcome Starmer's Wall.' Ben-Gvir, the national security minister, wrote on social media. Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called the move 'outrageous.' He said he had discussed it with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and they would meet next week to discuss Israel's response. The Biden administration took the rare step of sanctioning radical Israeli settlers implicated in violence in the occupied West Bank — sanctions that were then lifted by President Donald Trump. Eitay Mack, an Israeli human rights lawyer who spent years campaigning for the sanctions on Smotrich and Ben-Gvir — along with violent West Bank settlers — described the move as 'historic.' 'It means the wall of immunity that Israeli politicians had has been broken," he said. 'It's unbelievable that it took so long for Western governments to sanction Israeli politicians, and the fact that it's being done while Trump is president is quite amazing,' said Mack. "It is a message to Netanyahu himself that he could be next." Israel captured the West Bank along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians want those territories for their hoped-for future state. Settlement growth and construction have been promoted by successive Israeli governments stretching back decades, but it has exploded under Netanyahu's far-right coalition, which has settlers in key Cabinet posts. There are now well over 100 settlements and 500,000 Israeli settlers sprawling across the territory from north to south — a reality, rights groups say, dimming any hopes for an eventual two-state solution.

It doesn't mean you're a bad parent,' she told PEOPLE in April 2019. 'We all are constantly struggling daily, but that's also the beautiful side of parenthood.' The mom of three isn't fully ready for her kids to become teenagers. During a Friday, Feb. 14 interview with Entertainment Tonight alongside her husband, she was asked how she's feeling about her oldest son becoming a teenager this year.

'It's actually really… it's such a beautiful question because I love — I know you do too — we love our children and we love watching them grow," Vanessa explained. "But maybe it's because NCIS:Hawai'i was cancelled and I was so sad. We were so sad we left Hawaii. That was our dream. And the silver lining to that is it's been able to give us so much time with our kids.' Although she noted that her older son still acts like a kid for now, Vanessa added there's so much she's excited to experience with her kids once they get a little older. 'Camden is just…he's 12 but he's still like a 12-year-old boy. He watches Bluey with his brother and sister and they're just still kids," the star said. "And I'm like really holding onto it because at some point it does change ... but I'm excited about girlfriends and boyfriends and driving and whatever.' Read the original article on People
