Oops! Jennifer Lopez faces outfit mishap mid-performance: ‘Glad I had underwear on'; netizens ask 'Is that on purpose'
The pop star let out a surprised gasp as she tried to catch her skirt before it fell to the floor. She quickly regained her composure, confidently continuing her performance in just green high-waisted briefs, a sparkling green bra, long matching gloves, and sheer tights.
She quipped to the audience, stating, 'I'm here in my underwear".
As the band began singing 'Happy Birthday' to celebrate Jennifer Lopez turning 56 on Thursday, one of her backup dancers stepped in to help reattach her skirt.
When the skirt refused to stay on, Lopez decided to take it off completely and playfully tossed it into the crowd. Laughing about the moment, she told the audience, "I'm glad that they reinforced that costume. And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear.'
One of the users said, 'I used to like her so much 25 years ago.' Another remarked, 'Seems like it was on purpose'. 'Even after a successful career in entertainment, she craves attention so badly that she is empty inside when she doesn't have it', 'She is better looking than Madonna but still it's getting creepy', 'Is that on purpose' were some other comments made.
Others reacted saying, 'Damn she presents much younger and firmer than 56", "I don't like her politics. But she looks GOOD', 'Looks rehearsed and intentional', 'That was all planned. Please', 'Not a malfunction. Seriously cringe, though'.
Jennifer Lopez, often referred to as J.Lo, is a multi-talented American singer, actress, dancer, and businesswoman.

American Eagle's ‘good jeans' ads with Sydney Sweeney spark a debate on race and beauty standards
Titled 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' the campaign sparked a debate about race, Western beauty standards, and the backlash to 'woke' American politics and culture read more U.S. fashion retailer American Eagle Outfitters wanted to make a splash with its new advertising campaign starring 27-year-old actor Sydney Sweeney. The ad blitz included 'clever, even provocative language' and was 'definitely going to push buttons,' the company's chief marketing officer told trade media outlets. It has. The question now is whether some of the public reaction the fall denim campaign produced is what American Eagle intended. Titled 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' the campaign sparked a debate about race, Western beauty standards, and the backlash to 'woke' American politics and culture. Most of the negative reception focused on videos that used the word 'genes' instead of 'jeans' when discussing the blonde-haired, blue-eyed actor known for the HBO series 'Euphoria' and 'White Lotus.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some critics saw the wordplay as a nod, either unintentional or deliberate, to eugenics, a discredited theory that held humanity could be improved through selective breeding for certain traits. Marcus Collins, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, said the criticism for the American Eagle ad could have been avoided if the ads showed models of various races making the 'genes' pun. 'You can either say this was ignorance, or this was laziness, or say that this is intentional,' Collins said. 'Either one of the three aren't good.' Other commenters accused detractors of reading too much into the campaign's message. 'I love how the leftist meltdown over the Sydney Sweeney ad has only resulted in a beautiful white blonde girl with blue eyes getting 1000x the exposure for her 'good genes,'' former Fox News host Megyn Kelly wrote Tuesday on X. American Eagle didn't respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. The discussion continued after eagle-eyed social media users noticed that Dunkin's promotion for its new summer drink features 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' co-star Gavin Casalengo attributing his suntan to genetics. A snapshot of American Eagle The ad blitz comes as the teen retailer, like many merchants, wrestles with sluggish consumer spending and higher costs from tariffs. American Eagle reported that total sales were down 5% for its February-April quarter compared to a year earlier. A day after Sweeney was announced as the company's latest celebrity collaborator, American Eagle's stock closed more than 4% up. Shares were volatile this week and trading nearly 2% down Wednesday. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Like many trendy clothing brands, American Eagle has to differentiate itself from other mid-priced chains with a famous face or by saying something edgy, according to Alan Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce. Adamson said the Sweeney campaign shares a lineage with Calvin Klein jeans ads from 1980 that featured a 15-year-old Brooke Shields saying, 'You want to know what comes in between me and my Calvins? Nothing.' Some TV networks declined to air the spots because of its suggestive double entendre and Shields' age. 'It's the same playbook: a very hot model saying provocative things shot in an interesting way,' Adamson said. Billboards, Instagram and Snapchat Chief Marketing Officer Craig Brommers told industry news website Retail Brew last week that 'Sydney is the biggest get in the history of American Eagle,' and the company would promote the partnership in a way that matched. The campaign features videos of Sweeney wearing slouchy jeans in various settings. She will appear on 3-D billboards in Times Square and elsewhere, speaking to users on Snapchat and Instagram, and in an AI-enabled try-on feature. American Eagle also plans to launch a limited edition Sydney jean to raise awareness of domestic violence, with sales proceeds going to a nonprofit crisis counseling service. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In a news release, the company noted 'Sweeney's girl next door charm and main character energy – paired with her ability to not take herself too seriously – is the hallmark of this bold, playful campaign.' Jeans, genes and their many meanings In one video, Sweeney walks toward an American Eagle billboard of her and the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes.' She crosses out 'genes' and replaces it with 'jeans.' But what critics found the most troubling was a teaser video in which Sweeney says, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' The video appeared on American Eagle's Facebook page and other social media channels but is not part of the ad campaign. While remarking that someone has good genes is sometimes used as a compliment, the phrase also has sinister connotations. Eugenics gained popularity in early 20th century America, and Nazi Germany embraced it to carry out Adolf Hitler's plan for an Aryan master race. Civil rights activists have noted signs of eugenics regaining a foothold through the far right's promotion of the 'great replacement theory,' a racist ideology that alleges a conspiracy to diminish the influence of white people. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Shalini Shankar, a cultural and linguistic anthropologist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, said she had problems with American Eagle's 'genes' versus 'jeans' because it exacerbates a limited concept of beauty. 'American Eagle, I guess, wants to rebrand itself for a particular kind of white privileged American,' Shankar said. As for Dunkin's social media video, Casalengo's burnished skin comes up in the context of the doughnut chain's Golden Hour Refresher drink. 'This tan? Genetics. I just got my color analysis back and guess what? Golden summer,' the actor says, referring to the revived trend of wearing clothing that align with one's natural coloring. A Dunkin' spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment. A cultural shift in advertising Many critics compared the American Eagle ad to a misstep by Pepsi in 2017, when it released a TV ad that showed model Kendall Jenner offer a can of soda to a police officer while ostensibly stepping away from a photo shoot to join a crowd of protesters. Viewers mocked the spot for appearing to trivialize protests of police killings of Black people. Pepsi apologized and pulled the ad. The demonstrations that followed the 2020 killing of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis pushed many U.S. companies to make their advertising better reflect consumers of all races. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some marketers say they've observed another shift since President Donald Trump returned to office and moved to abolish all federal DEI programs and policies. Jazmin Burrell, founder of brand consulting agency Lizzie Della Creative Strategies, said she's noticed while shopping with her cousin more ads and signs that prominently feature white models. 'I can see us going back to a world where diversity is not really the standard expectation in advertising,' Burrell said. American Eagle's past and future American Eagle has been praised for diverse marketing in the past, including creating a denim hijab in 2017 and offering its Aerie lingerie brand in a wide range of sizes. A year ago, the company released a limited edition denim collection with tennis star Coco Gauff. Marketing experts offer mixed opinions on whether the attention surrounding 'good jeans' will be good for business. 'They were probably thinking that this is going to be their moment,' Myles Worthington, the founder and CEO of marketing and creative agency WORTHI. 'But this is doing the opposite and deeply distorting their brand.' Other experts say the buzz is good even if it's not uniformly positive. 'If you try to follow all the rules, you'll make lots of people happy, but you'll fail,' Adamson said. 'The rocket won't take off. ' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Viral: Pope Leo's wholesome reaction on receiving Chicago Pizza melts the internet
Image credits: X It seems you can get the man out of Chicago, but not Chicago out of the man. Pope Leo XIV, who was elected to the papacy on May 8, 2025, is the first American Pope in history. Born in Chicago in 1955 to parents of French, Italian and Spanish descent, Pope Leo's father was a school principal, and his mother had degrees in library science and education. It seems some parts of his life before the Papacy still stay dear to him, such as the pizza from Chicago. On July 30, while on his way to St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City, the Pope received a special delivery that definitely made his day. Videos viral on the internet show a member of the crowd giving the pontiff, 69, a box from Aurelio's Pizza in Chicago's southern suburbs as he arrived in his open-air popemobile for his weekly audience. The person could be seen holding a banner that read "We have Aurelio's Pizza", and when the Pope saw the box, he appeared to be delighted and even gave a thumbs up to the person. According to 6 ABC, Pope Leo was known to frequent the original Homewood location of the restaurant when he was just Father Bob. In an ode to the Pope, Joe Aurelio, the owner of the place, even announced the "Poperoni Pizza" in early July, which is a traditional pepperoni pizza with a layer of cup and crisp pepperoni. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Full mouth dental implants for the elderly in Malaysia - see prices in 2025 Dental Implants | Search Ads Search Now Undo Located in Illinois, Aurelio's Pizza quickly took credit and posted on Facebook that it was "another blessing to have Pope Leo acknowledge our pizza at St. Peter's Square." Netizens react to Pope Leo's reaction to the Chicago Pizza ' Image credits: X Since it was the Pope who pointed towards the person with the banner and the pizza, and his guard got it for him, many agree that he loves the pizza from the brand.

"Find someone who looks at you the way Pope Leo XIV looks at deep dish pizza", commented one sharing a photo of the Pope looking at the pizza box. "That was a very nice thing for that individual to do 🙂 Deep Dish Pizza is a Chicago tradition 🙂" added one, appreciating the person who got the pizza from Chicago to the Vatican City. "That's very thoughtful. As a Chicago boy himself, His Holiness must have really appreciated it," commended another.
