Jennifer Lopez makes major career announcement... after kissing a woman on stage at AMAs
After hosting the American Music Awards on Monday, Jennifer Lopez announced her new 12-date Up All Night Live in Las Vegas residency to be staged at Caesars Palace's The Colosseum.
'Surprise JLovers!' the 55-year-old pop diva — who boasts 386.4M social media followers — wrote on Instagram. 'We're back!'
Jennifer doesn't kick off the series of Nevada concerts until December 30, but presale tickets begin as early as June 2 while general tickets go on sale June 6.
Lopez's prior Las Vegas residency - All I Have at Planet Hollywood's Zappos Theater - reportedly grossed $101.9M and ran for 121 shows spanning 2016 to 2018.
The two-time Grammy nominee's announcement came nearly one year after she was 'completely heartsick and devastated' to cancel her 30-date This is Me... Live: The Greatest Hits tour.

Jennifer explained via her On the Jlo newsletter that she was 'taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends.'
At the time, Lopez was facing backlash stemming from burnout over her self-funded, This Is Me... Now vanity projects including an album, movie, and documentary.
Lopez - who gets 30.4M monthly listeners on Spotify - will kick off her 18-date Up All Night: Live in 2025 Tour on July 4 at Rixos Radamis in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
'I like being close to home. It's convenient for me in that way instead of touring the whole world,' the Emmy-nominated producer told Variety of her new Vegas residency.
'I canceled my tour last year, so I've been thinking a lot about performing and how I wanted to get back out there.
'I'm doing a small tour in the summer because I haven't gone international and then it was like, "Do you want to go on tour or do you want to do a residency?"
'And I was like, "You know what? I think I'll just do a residency."'
Jennifer wants to ' stay close' to her 17-year-old fraternal twins - Maximilian Muñiz and Emme Muñiz - from her seven-year marriage to ex-husband number three Marc Anthony, which ended in 2011.
'Even when I go [on tour] this summer, they're going to be away from me and you know, I like being home,' Lopez explained.
Lopez's announcement came nearly one year after she was 'completely heartsick and devastated' to cancel her 30-date This is Me... Live: The Greatest Hits tour amid low ticket sales
The Atlas producer-star - who's played a bride in nine films - recently produced and starred in Ol Parker's rom-com Office Romance for Netflix opposite Ted Lasso alum Brett Goldstein.
Last month, Deadline reported that Jennifer signed on to play a con artist who targets a wealthy couple in Robert Zemeckis' big-screen adaptation of Liv Constantine's 2018 novel The Last Mrs. Parrish, which will also stream on Netflix.
Lopez took on three different characters - Leni Lamaison, Marta, and Spider Woman - in Bill Condon's $30M-budget musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, which hits US theaters October 10.
The Kamala Harris campaigner's fourth ex-husband Ben Affleck produced the big-screen version of the 1992 West End musical co-starring Tonatiuh and Diego Luna.
Jennifer and the 52-year-old Oscar winner's divorce was officially finalized on February 20.
The couple formerly known as 'Bennifer' still need to sell their $68M 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom megamansion in Beverly Hills aka Crestview Manor, which they originally paid $60.85M for in May 2023.

Scottie Scheffler emulates Tiger Woods with latest dominant win
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler emulated Tiger Woods by successfully defending the Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village. Only five-time winner Woods had previously retained the crown between 1999 and 2001, but Scheffler claimed a second consecutive success with a four-stroke victory over Ben Griffin. "Well, you did it again," tournament host Jack Nicklaus told him walking off the green. Scheffler has now won three times in four starts after wins at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and PGA Championship. "It's pretty cool," Scheffler told CBS Sports after his 16th PGA Tour victory. "It's always a hard week as it's so challenging to play this tournament. "I battled really hard over the weekend and Ben made things interesting down the stretch, but overall it was a great week." Scheffler took a one-shot lead into Sunday and the chasing pack failed to put him under any concerted pressure. Birdies at the seventh, 11th and 15th gave Scheffler breathing space in a final round two-under par 70, with a solitary dropped shot coming at the 10th – his first bogey in 32 holes. Griffin closed with a 73 to finish one ahead of Austria's Sepp Straka, with Nick Taylor a shot back in fourth. "You know Scottie's probably going to play a good round of golf. The guy's relentless,' said Straka after the round. 'He loves competition, and he doesn't like giving up shots. But it's one of those courses where it can always happen, so you got to be prepared for it. I felt like I gave myself a lot of chances to kind of make a push." England's Tommy Fleetwood was tied 16th, Scotland's Robert MacIntyre tied 20th but Shane Lowry, of Ireland, dropped down the leaderboard for a share of 23rd place with a disappointing 77. Meanwhile, Rickie Fowler had his first top 10 of the year at just the right time. He made par on the 18th to tie for seventh, earning him the lone available qualification spot for The Open at Royal Portrush in July. Fowler tied with Brandt Snedeker at one-under but gets the one Open exemption available based on a higher world ranking – Fowler at No 124 and Snedeker at No 430. "That's one I've wanted on the schedule," said Fowler, who faces a 36-hole qualifier for the US Open on Monday.

Robert Irwin reveals what he REALLY thinks of Prince William after working together
Robert Irwin has revealed what Prince William is really like after the pair teamed up for a major environmental initiative last year. The 21-year-old conservationist was named a Global Ambassador for the Prince of Wales' prestigious Earthshot Prize, which is awarded annually to five people in recognition of their services to environmentalism. In an interview with Us Weekl y, the reality TV star said he was thrilled at the chance to work alongside royalty to promote the planet. 'I think Prince William has been such an amazing person to work with. There is such an incredible synergy between what he does, who he is and who we are,' he said. 'It's all about conservation. It's wonderful that someone is so influential - that has such a fantastic platform - is using that to really better our environment. He is a true environmental hero, working with him has been a great privilege.'

Get Me Out Of Here! co-host praised the royal's down-to-earth personality and said the pair have been sharing ideas and insights on how to protect nature on a global scale. 'We've definitely compared a lot of notes in the conservation space,' Robert said. 'It doesn't matter where you're from - whether internationally, in Australia, here in America, wherever you are - we need to prioritise taking care of our natural world. And he's really at the forefront of that. 'Plus, he's just a great guy. When you have a conversation with him, he's the most lovely, intelligent person to talk to and is just so easy-going, so much fun. I love working with him. A really good guy.' The wildlife advocate took part in The Earthshot Prize ceremony in South Africa last year and spoke passionately at the time about the initiative's power to inspire global action. 'The Earthshot Prize is a beacon of hope for all of us who care about the environment and about our ability to ensure a liveable future for ourselves and future generations,' he said. 'Healthy oceans, ecosystems, and species equal a healthy planet, and The Earthshot Prize recognises the importance of investing in and helping grow solutions that protect these critical resources.' Launched by Prince William in 2020, The Earthshot Prize aims to spotlight and support innovative solutions tackling the world's most pressing environmental challenges. The I'm A Celebrity...

William traversed a rocky climb as he walked up Signal Hill and quipped as he spied the waiting media: 'I'll try not to wipe myself out in front of everybody.' Robert later tweeted a video of him with William, in which he asked the prince what his 'favourite African animal' was. William replied: 'It's a tough question. I think I'm going to have to say the cheetah. Fantastic animal,' and Robert replied his favourite was the chameleon. The prince also spoke with park rangers, firefighters, mountain rescue volunteers, biodiversity experts and youth volunteers in front of the scenic backdrop. They told him about the diversity of fauna and flora and the work they do to protect the environment while ensuring residents and tourists are able to enjoy the area.
