Jennifer Lopez Pours Her Heart Into New Song After Ben Affleck Divorce
Jennifer Lopez has transformed personal pain into powerful music with her latest single, Wreckage of You, following her divorce from longtime partner Ben Affleck. On July 8, she debuted the emotionally charged track during the opening night of her highly anticipated Up All Night tour at Parque Tafisa Stadium in Spain.
Standing before a sea of fans, Lopez opened up about the inspiration behind the song. According to E! Online, she shared that Wreckage of You was born during a sleepless night, capturing her feelings of loss, transformation, and resilience. The lyrics offer a raw glimpse into her emotional journey post-divorce, with poignant lines like 'Thank you for the scars you left on my heart" and 'Now watch me climb out of the wreckage of you."
Deeply personal and filled with vulnerability, the track has struck a chord with fans, serving as both a cathartic release for Lopez and a relatable anthem for those navigating heartbreak.
Additionally, Lopez was also seen expressing gratitude for the love and support she has been receiving from her fans. Thanking them, she added a line in the chorus that said, 'Because of you, I am stronger, wiser, and better than I have ever been."
A report by PEOPLE stated that before officially debuting Wreckage of You, Lopez performed it live for 30 lucky fans in a private concert in Los Angeles on July 2, alongside five other unreleased tracks. One of the attendees named Edgardo Luis Rivera, revealed to the outlet that Lopez described Wreckage of You as a testament to her resilience, and she could resonate with the word 'wreck' as it meant destruction, but she was not destroyed.
Wreckage of You premiered after Lopez told El Paris that she had reassured her twins, Max and Emme, following the divorce from Ben Affleck, whom she was married to for 2 years. She further added that her children feel her strength and peace, and that she was proud of herself for being able to help them navigate through tough times.
JLO's Up All Night tour kicked off with the Spain leg and will continue through Italy, Turkey, Poland, Egypt and Kazakhstan. She is also set to return to Las Vegas with a residency titled Up All Night Live at The Colosseum, which will be held at Caesars Palace. The show will run from December 30, 2025, to January 3, 2026, with additional performances in March 2026.

Pamela Anderson Talks About Playing Femme Fatale In The Naked Gun: 'I Work A Lot On…'
Last Updated: The Naked Gun reboot, starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, hits Indian theatres on August 1, 2025. Anderson reflected on how she prepped for her part. The iconic spoof-comedy The Naked Gun is making a comeback with a fresh reboot, and this time, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are taking the lead. Hitting Indian theatres on August 1, 2025, the film blends modern humour with nostalgic callbacks to the beloved original. Anderson spoke about how she prepped for her character. Liam Neeson stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the well-meaning but clumsy son of the original detective, while Pamela Anderson steps into the role of Beth Davenport, a femme fatale with wit and edge — drawing inspiration from Priscilla Presley's iconic character. Anderson revealed that she approached Beth with care and nuance. 'I work a lot on the character before I even get to set. I bring a lot with me and then stay flexible to collaborate with the director," she said, adding that her preparation remains the same whether it's a dramatic film or a high-energy comedy. Her collaboration with director Akiva Schaffer helped shape the character's emotional core. 'Akiva is very scientific with the jokes, but I really wanted to bring honesty, authenticity, and even some vulnerability to the role," she explained. 'It was a true collaboration, and I think there are some very sincere and tender moments you wouldn't typically expect in a film like this." Her co-star Liam Neeson also spoke about their collaboration. He told Gulf News, 'I love the fact that I didn't know Pamela's history. I was aware of Baywatch many years ago. I didn't avidly watch it, but I knew of its popularity. Pamela has a terrific sense of humour. There were no airs and graces, none of that nonsense. She was there to act and to work. She was very available, and I really enjoyed her company. We had a few giggles between takes." Watch the trailer of The Naked Gun here: As the franchise returns to the big screen with a new cast and tone, Pamela Anderson's grounded take on her character might just add a surprising emotional depth to all the laughs. The Naked Gun is directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and from producer Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy). Joining the cast are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, with Danny Huston.

Last week, producer Boney Kapoor hit the headlines after his pictures went viral. He left everyone stunned with his drastic physical transformation, having shed 26 kg. He has now shared a set of pictures on social media, opening up about his fitness and weight loss journey. The 69-year-old producer revealed that he can now fit into some of his old clothes- something he couldn't do before- and said it feels great. Boney Kapoor then encouraged people to take the first step towards better health, saying that it's worth it. His daughter Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor were also impressed with his transformation, and they dropped encouraging comments on his post. On Monday, Boney Kapoor took to his Instagram to share a series of photos flaunting his transformation. His weight loss is quite evident in the photos. In his caption, he wrote, 'Feels great to get into some old clothes. lost 26kgs , just a few more to go. Sharing this for those who need motivation. Do it. It's worth it! If l can, anybody can!"

Orry wrote, 'Legend," while Arjun Kapoor 'liked' the post. Many fans praised his fitness journey, and while one netizen commented, 'Looking handsome young dude," another one wrote, 'Such a great inspiration … well done for such a big accomplishment." Last year, the producer opened up about his transformation journey. He said, 'My wife Sri used to tell me, 'Boney, first lose weight then you can fix your hair.'" However, some people advised him otherwise. 'They told me bald people are lucky, like Yash Chopra, so I stayed bald for a while," he added. Eventually, he opted for a hair transplant. 'Finally, one day, I was convinced to get a hair transplant. In three days, they planted almost 6,000 hair," he shared. Reflecting on what motivated his lifestyle shift, Boney credited his late wife's words. 'I remembered my wife's advice who wanted me to lose weight before the hair transplant, so I went on a diet and lost about 14 kgs. It's hard for me to exercise, but I still managed to shed weight," he revealed. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Shame On Those Who Trigger': Ashwin Reacts To Fake Quote On India-Pakistan Match
Ravichandran Ashwin addresses fake quote controversy about India-Pakistan matches, urging fans to verify information and avoid spreading misinformation. Veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has hit out at a fake social media post attributing a controversial quote to him about India-Pakistan matches. The 38-year-old, who is known for his candid cricketing views through his YouTube channel and show Ash Ki Baat, was falsely linked to comments regarding two high-profile fixtures between the arch-rivals. The viral post claimed Ashwin criticised the recently cancelled India vs Pakistan match in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) while alleging that the upcoming Asia Cup game was allowed due to financial motives. The quote falsely attributed to Ashwin read, 'The amount of money decided the level of patriotism." Ashwin wasted no time in issuing a strong rebuttal. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, 'Don't associate me with this fake news. Shame on those who trigger all this." The India vs Pakistan fixture in the WCL, which was scheduled for July 20, was cancelled after drawing criticism and disappointment from fans. The organisers later issued a public apology, acknowledging the hurt caused by the match. Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan had decided to withdraw from the game after the criticism picked up steam, with Suresh Raina also publicly expressing his views on the matter. Despite the WCL controversy, the Asia Cup remains unaffected, with India and Pakistan drawn in the same group for the tournament, which will be held in the UAE from September 9 to 28. The marquee clash has generated huge anticipation but also equal criticism of people calling out the 'hypocrisy' of players and administrators who had called for cutting all cricketing relations with Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack. Ashwin's quick response highlights the growing challenge of misinformation in sports, especially involving high-profile athletes and politically sensitive fixtures like India vs Pakistan. With millions of fans closely following these contests, fake quotes often spread rapidly, leading to unnecessary controversies. The veteran spinner, who has represented India in 98 Tests and 116 ODIs, emphasised that he had made no comments about the fixtures and urged fans to verify information before believing or sharing such posts. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
