Jennifer Lopez Had a World-Class Reaction to Being Turned Away at a Chanel Store in Istanbul
However, as reported in Patronlar Dünyasi, when Lopez attempted to enter the store, a security guard who seemingly didn't recognize the singer-actress told her that she couldn't enter because the store was at capacity, which Billboard can confirm. The report, which appeared to have photos of the incident described, said that Lopez appeared unbothered and said, 'OK, no problem.'

The store security reportedly approached Lopez later during her shopping trip and welcomed her to visit the Chanel location, though the publication said she declined the invite.
This isn't the first time this summer the superstar has had a classy response when things didn't go quite as planned. When she experienced a wardrobe malfunction during her July 25 show, she tossed her skirt — which had fallen to the floor and couldn't be re-attached — into the crowd and laughed off the snafu. 'I'm glad I had underwear on,' she joked. 'I don't usually wear underwear.'
Lopez is in the midst of her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour, which kicked off on July 8 in Pontevedra, Spain, and has so far taken her to Hungary, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Romania, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Kazakstan and Armenia, with two remaining dates in Almaty, Kazakstan, on Aug. 10, and Sardinia, Italy, on Aug. 12.
Next up for the multi-hyphenate is the anticipated film adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman, the Bill Condon written and directed musical also featuring Diego Luna and Tonatiuh Elizarraraz due out in theaters on Oct. 10.

I was totally ready to loathe Jennifer Lopez's new to Netflix rom-com movie, but it warmed my cynical heart
It's fair to say I typically like pretty dark movies. My current top 10 movies of 2025 ranking includes five horror movies, and 'Alien' is my favorite movie ever. I also adore thriller flicks. While I have a soft spot for indie coming-of-age comedies, I'm not typically one for romantic comedies. So back in 2022, when 'Marry Me,' a bubbly rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson, arrived in theaters (and day-and-date on Peacock), based on the vibes the trailer gave me, I was pretty confident I was going to not just mildly dislike it, but outright loathe it. As the old saying goes, 'never judge a book by its cover,' or a rom-com by its glossy marketing materials, because while 'Marry Me' is certainly not a trailblazer for the genre, it's an effective crowd-pleaser and managed to mine a lot of charm from its leads' chemistry. If this movie passed you by at release, it's just arrived on Netflix this weekend, and even if you're a cynic like me, you might be pleasantly surprised at this rom-com's heartfelt nature. Pop megastar Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez) is set to marry her musical collaborator Bastian (Maluma) on stage at a concert event streamed to millions around the globe. However, moments before saying 'I do' in front of a sold-out crowd, she discovers her fiancé has been having an affair with her assistant. Humiliated, and in a moment of complete madness, she decides to pluck a stranger from the crowd, a single dad named Charlie (Owen Wilson) at the concert with his young daughter, and marries him instead. With the media speculating that she only pulled the stunt out of desperation, she decides to stay married to Charlie for just a few months to save face. However, as Kat and Charlie pretend to be a loved-up couple in front of the cameras, they start to discover some common ground, and real sparks fly. But they come from completely different worlds, and their blossoming relationship is threatened by intense public interest. There really is nothing new about 'Marry Me.' Its central hook of two people pretending to be in a relationship only to slowly fall in love for real has been seen in everything from 'The Proposal' to 'What Happens in Vegas.' Even the wrinkle of a 'normal' person dating a popstar doesn't feel unique following 2023's 'The Idea of You,' though in fairness, 'Marry Me' did get there first, but I'd wager more people have seen the Anne Hathaway Prime Video original movie than have watched "Marry Me." So don't come to 'Marry Me' for bold new ideas, but what you will find is plenty of charm and delightful chemistry between its leads. Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson bounce off each other wonderfully. Naturally, Lopez is extremely well suited to playing a global popstar (little acting required), and Owen has been playing an affable everyman for decades. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Even when it follows a well-worn rom-com pathway, it keeps you invested because its two leads are so likable, and you'll find yourself rooting for their relationship to work out in the end. The supporting cast also includes 'Game of Thrones' alumnus John Bradley and former SNL cast member Sarah Silverman, the latter adding comedy chops to the mix. 'Marry Me's' ultimate message about embracing life and saying yes to the unexpected is, again, nothing original for the genre, but it's a well-meaning one, and just because something is a bit cliche doesn't mean it can't still resonate. And that's sort of 'Marry Me' in a nutshell, lacking fresh ideas, but packaged up in such pretty wrapping you don't mind. Critics often slaughter rom-coms, but 'Marry Me' enjoyed a respectable reception, scoring 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is enough for a fresh rating. Meanwhile, viewers loved this one, awarding it a 92% score on the review aggregate site. See what I mean about it being a crowd-pleaser? 'Marry Me' isn't going to challenge you, and it's certainly not going to be the most memorable movie you watch this month, but it has an easy-going attitude, a few chuckle-worthy moments and characters you will care about. When it comes to rom-coms, that's enough in my book, so apologies to 'Marry Me' for writing you off before watching. Looking for something else to watch on Netflix this week? Here's a guide to everything new added to the streaming service this month, which includes more movies and TV shows. Watch "Marry Me" on Netflix now

Watch Gracie Abrams Sing ‘Dancing on My Own' With Robyn & Thousands of Fans at Lollapalooza
Gracie Abrams definitely wasn't singing and dancing on her own at Lollapalooza, where she was joined not only by thousands of fans in the crowd, but also by pop pioneer Robyn for a surprise performance of 'Dancing on My Own.' As captured in clips from the singer-songwriter's T-Mobile Stage set on Thursday (July 31), Abrams looked starstruck as Robyn joined her on stage midway through the performance. Belting out the lyrics to the Swedish star's signature 2010 hit together, the pair's voices blended in harmony while festivalgoers sang along.

At another point in the duet, the two women shared a hug. Abrams' showcase at Lollapalooza came just a couple of days after she played two straight nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City, marking her first times playing at the iconic arena. After she finished her set at the Chicago festival, headliner Tyler, the Creator came out on the T-Mobile Stage to close out the first of four nights. The remaining headliners left on the four-day bill are Olivia Rodrigo, Rufus Du Sol and Sabrina Carpenter, with Doechii, Djo, Clairo, Katseye, The Marias and dozens more artists also scheduled to play sets.

Here's Why BET Has Suspended The Soul Train And Hip-Hop Awards
BET has officially hit pause on two of its most iconic shows: the BET Hip-Hop Awards and the Soul Train Awards. Both award shows have reportedly been suspended indefinitely according to the network. BET CEO Scott Mills confirmed the news in an interview with Billboard, saying, 'So for BET linear, we have suspended the Soul Train and Hip-Hop award shows. But we have a team that's actively thinking about where those award shows might best live as the media climate continues to evolve. They aren't gone. And we also still have the NAACP Image Awards and the Stellar Awards.' Clarifying further, he added, 'It's less about them being no longer and more about our team having to reimagine them for this changing media landscape that we find ourselves in. I think what we're going to see are more people taking franchises and saying, 'This might have started on linear television, but now I'm going to move it to another space. Do I move it to streaming? Or do I move it to another platform?'' The BET Hip Hop Awards launched in 2006, while the Soul Train Awards traces back to 1987. For decades, both shows have celebrated artists and influential figures' contributions to Black culture and music. The original BET Awards currently remains active as it recently celebrated 25 years since its inception. BET also recently announced a revamping of its hit show 106 & Park into '106 & Sports.' Mills explained to Billboard, '106 & Sports is a collaboration with Spring Hill Entertainment, and everybody is working feverishly to get it ready to launch in the fall. We're going to start with a weekly show at that point with lots of wonderful guests. It will apply the best elements of the 106 & Park structure and format to the sports world.' He emphasized that while music remains central to BET, the network is recognizing how sports have become 'an integral part of the culture.' Adding another layer to the network's evolution, last year Paramount Global reportedly put BET on the market with an asking price between $1.6 and $1.7 billion. According to Variety, this exclusive offer was extended to potential buyers including Mills, who joined BET in 1997 and became CEO in 2021. Past prospective buyers included Tyler Perry, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, and Byron Allen.
