Jennifer Lopez kisses multiple dancers at music award show after divorce
Jennifer Lopez made out with multiple backup dancers Monday (May 26) when she opened the American Music Awards with a dance set to a medley of nominated songs.
The public displays of affection came on the heels of finalising her divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this year.
A male dancer smooched the newly single Bronx-born pop star, 55, who then kissed a female dancer during the transition from Benson Boone's Beautiful Things to Teddy Swims' Lose Control .
The seven-minute, often steamy performance opened the Memorial Day awards show, which Lopez also hosted.
Earlier this month, Lopez posted selfies of her bruised eyes and a cut on her nose she'd suffered '(during @amas rehearsals),' for which she ultimately needed stitches.
Also Monday, Lopez revealed she's doing a residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from Dec 30 to Jan 3 and for much of next March.
This time a year ago, headlines were rife with speculation that she and 52-year-old Affleck were headed for divorce, during which Lopez canceled her tour.
Though Lopez and the Oscar winner were engaged in the early aughts – and ultimately married and had kids with Marc Anthony and Jennifer Garner, respectively – it wasn't until summer 2022 that the stars wed, once in July and again in August.
The Love Don't Cost A Thing singer filed for divorce in August 2024, on their second wedding anniversary. The divorce was finalised in January.
Lopez recently told Spanish newspaper El País that she's in 'the best' period of her life. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

'Ketamine Queen' dealer to plead guilty over Matthew Perry death
Jasveen Sangha will admit several charges, including one of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury in relation to the late star. 19 Aug 2025 08:45am Flowers and a note are placed at the memorial as fans pay tribute to the late actor Matthew Perry outside "Friends" building on October 30, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by John Lamparski / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP) LOS ANGELES - A dealer dubbed the "Ketamine Queen" has agreed to plead guilty to supplying the drugs that killed "Friends" actor Matthew Perry, the US Department of Justice said Monday. Jasveen Sangha, 42, will admit several charges, including one of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury in relation to the late star. A dual citizen of the United States and Britain, she is expected to formally enter her pleas in the coming weeks. She has been in federal custody since August 2024. Sangha will become the fifth person to admit playing a part in the death of the beloved actor, who had openly struggled for decades with substance addiction. Perry, 54, was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home in October 2023. A criminal investigation was launched soon after an autopsy discovered he had high levels of ketamine -- an anesthetic -- in his system. Last month, Dr Salvador Plasencia pleaded guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine in the weeks before Perry's death. Another doctor, Mark Chavez, admitted last year to conspiring to distribute ketamine to Perry. Plasencia allegedly bought ketamine off Chavez and sold it to the American-Canadian actor at hugely inflated prices. "I wonder how much this moron will pay," Plasencia wrote in one text message. According to her plea agreement, Sangha worked with a middleman, Erik Fleming, to sell 51 vials of ketamine to Perry's live-in personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. Iwamasa repeatedly injected Perry with the ketamine that Sangha supplied, including on October 28, 2023, when he administered at least three shots of Sangha's ketamine, which killed the actor. The Justice Department said when Sangha heard news reports about Perry's sudden death, she tried to cover her tracks. "Delete all our messages," she instructed Fleming. When investigators raided Sangha's home they found methamphetamine, ketamine, ecstasy, cocaine, and counterfeit Xanax pills, as well as a money counting machine, a scale, and devices to detect wireless signals and hidden cameras, according to the Justice Department. 'Mostly sober' Sangha is expected to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. "She's taking responsibility for her actions," her lawyer Mark Geragos told AFP. Sangha could face decades in prison when sentenced. The other people involved in the supply of drugs to Perry are expected to appear in court over the coming months to learn their fates. Perry had been taking ketamine as part of supervised therapy for depression. But prosecutors say that before his death he became addicted to the substance, which also has psychedelic properties and is a popular party drug. "Friends," which followed the lives of six New Yorkers navigating adulthood, dating and careers, drew a massive following and made megastars of previously unknown actors. Perry's role as the sarcastic man-child Chandler brought him fabulous wealth, but hid a dark struggle with addiction to painkillers and alcohol. In 2018, he suffered a drug-related burst colon and underwent multiple surgeries. In his 2022 memoir "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing," Perry described going through detox dozens of times. "I have mostly been sober since 2001," he wrote, "save for about sixty or seventy little mishaps." - AFP More Like This

Jet Li sparks health concerns after sharing video from hospital bed
Jet Li sparked concern on Aug 17 after sharing a video of himself in a hospital bed. Photos: Jet Li/Weibo, Jet Li/Douyin China-born action superstar Jet Li raised health concerns after posting a video of himself in a hospital bed on Sunday (Aug 17). In the clip shared on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, the 62-year-old was seen resting with IV drips attached. The actor didn't disclose the reason for his hospitalisation, simply captioning the post: 'I've recently faced another unexpected challenge.' Li, who now holds Singaporean citizenship, also shared on Weibo a photo taken in a corridor outside what appeared to be an operating room. "There's a problem with my hardware, so I sent it back to the factory for repair... Don't worry too much about me," he wrote. The photos quickly went viral on social media, drawing an outpouring of well wishes and prayers for his recovery. Industry sources later reassured fans that Li's condition isn't serious and that he's only undergoing short-term treatment. 'It's just a small benign tumour, once removed there's nothing to worry about,' a source close to the actor told Chinese media. In a Weibo update on Monday (Aug 18), Li shared a photo of himself enjoying some noodles, revealing that he has already been discharged. "Thank you again for your thoughts and blessings. I'm sorry for worrying everyone. I've left the factory and am eating something delicious," he wrote in the captions. Li was first diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2010. While the condition initially left him looking frail, the Romeo Must Die (2000) star later reassured fans that his illness was manageable with medication. Over the years, Li's changing appearance led to constant speculations about his health – including multiple death hoaxes. During his first public appearance in years in November 2023, Li said he was surprised so many people believed those rumours.
