Jennifer Lopez performed at the 2025 World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. on June 6 Lopez wore a series of glittering bodysuits and outfits for her set One of the bodysuit featured a dangerously high cut that put her figure on displayJennifer Lopez left little to the imagination for her latest performance, donning a series of skin-baring outfits while celebrating the LGBTQ+ community through song. The "Let's Get Loud" singer hit the stage at the 2025 World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. on June 6 and wore multiple glittering looks for the occasion. The most daring look that Lopez wore for her performance at the festival included a silver plunging thong bodysuit that was covered in hundreds of clear rhinestones. The bodysuit, designed by The Blonds, featured a plunging neckline that dipped low enough for Lopez to show off plenty of cleavage. The front of the bodysuit had an extremely high cut on the legs, leaving little to the imagination in the front, but offered more coverage in the back with a cheeky cut that showed off her toned backside. The silver lamé fabric of the bodysuit reflected the vibrant stage lights with each movement that Lopez made on the stage. She completed the daring look with performance-grade sheer stockings and matching silver sparkling knee high boots that also glittered.

Ahead of her hosting duties, Lopez told PEOPLE that she tries to be flexible with her wardrobe — and has help from her stylists to curate different moods. "I work with my stylist and we kind of kick around ideas like, 'What do we want it to be for the performance and what do we want it to be for the hosting and what's our vibe?'" she explained "We feel it out because I think it does change. For me, my feelings change from month to month, like, 'Who do I want to be today?' because I feel like there's so many different sides to who I am fashion-wise." Read the original article on People

Brittany Renner confirms her divorce to Kevin Gates. ‘I followed my heart'

Brittany Renner said she followed her heart and is getting divorced. (Warning: The below link contains language some may find offensive.) In a recent radio interview with REAL 92.3 LA, the 33-year-old 'Basketball Wives' star revealed that she and her husband, rapper Kevin Gates, are officially going their separate ways. 'We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,' Renner said in the interview, which aired June 7. The social media star says the couple must now enter a 90-day waiting period. The waiting period, known as iddah in Islam, is meant to ensure that a woman is not pregnant. Renner converted to Islam in August 2024, per Complex. 'And then also in those 90 days it's for reconciliation, because Allah wants you to stay married,' Renner explained. 'During those 90 days, you are not to entertain anybody romantically.' Renner and Gates, who converted to Islam in 2016, went Instagram official in April, according to E! News. The couple sparked engagement rumors the following month after Renner appeared at the season 12 premiere of 'Basketball Wives,' which aired May 5, with a ring on her ring finger. Renner later referred to Gates as her husband in a since-deleted Instagram post May 4, per E! News. 'You don't fit on this show and that's why you're a fit for this show,' Brittany wrote in the caption. 'Last night at the #BasketballWives Season 12 premiere party with my huzband.' Renner says she's looking forward to a 'nice 90-day reset' With her 52-day marriage in the rear-view mirror, Renner says she now wants to focus on herself. 'I followed my heart,' she said in her interview with REAL 92.3 LA. 'And that's more than what most people can say in this world.' She goes on to add that she doesn't view the divorce as a bad situation and is ready to move on. 'I don't think anybody gets married to not stay married. So, I think my biggest thing for me is just a nice 90 day reset. Focusing on myself and pouring into myself,' she explained. She said 'what is meant to be is always gonna be.' The divorce comes roughly one month after Renner gushed about Gates in an interview with People. 'I'm with the person that I quite literally dreamed of,' she said in the interview, published May 5. 'And to be able to just wake up next to him and spend time with him, even to have him here behind me, it's like so surreal,' she added. 'He's just the most beautiful person inside and out that I've ever met.' At the time, Renner said that the couple weren't concerned about what the future holds. 'I think that's where people get a little lost,' she told People. 'Like, we gotta stay present and I feel like when we get too far ahead, we don't live in the now and have fun in the now and pour in each other into each other in the now,' she continued. The pair don't share any children together, but Renner does have a 4-year-old son, P.J. Washington III, with NBA player P.J. Washington.
