Jennifer Lopez tour kicks off to a whimper; debuts new Ben Affleck revenge song
Lopez kicked off her 'Up All Night' tour last weekend in Tafisa Park in Galicia, Spain, last weekend — amid fan uproar over canceled concerts.
The tour, which I exclusively told you about over a month ago, will see Lopez shaking her booty and performing her hits to crowds throughout Spain, Egypt, Poland, Romania, Armenia and, of course, the ultimate music hotspot: Kazakhstan. And unlike the sold-out 60,000-person stadiums she used to perform in, Lopez is expected to perform this time around at hotels and small venues that hold up to 20,000 people.

And while Lopez is performing 19 shows, she's already pissed off a few fans.
Lopez was expected to perform at the luxe five-star hotel, Rixos Radamis, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on July 4, but 'per her request,' the date has been postponed to July 30.
According to the Daily Mail, fans were outraged.
Voicing their outrage in Arabic on Instagram, wrote (via translation), 'From my point of view, it's the best of unprofessional attitude to your fans. Why advertise your concert in a few months and throw thousands of people away before the flight?'
Another fan said, 'She has changed the poster four times already. It's not that serious anymore. The scam of the century!'
According to the Daily Mail, 'Guests who stay at the all-inclusive hotel are able to attend the concert for free; however, rates are expensive at $700-$2,000 per night.' Fans can purchase tickets to watch her show online.
Lopez also changed some dates in Turkey to accommodate her own schedule. She was expected to perform at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort in Antalya, Turkey, on August 5. But, this date was moved up to July 23. She is now performing in Istanbul on August 5.
A source told Daily Mail that Istanbul was part of the additional tour dates that have been recently added along with Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on August 7, and Almaty, Kazakhstan, on August 10.
However, while Lopez is a hit in Tashkent, Western Europe is struggling.
The Spanish website, Sur in English, reported in June that her concert in Malaga had 'undergone a sudden change of venue.' Instead of performing at Malaga's Estadio de Atletismo, Lopez will be performing at the Marenostrum stage in Fuengirola, which is a smaller venue. Rather than allowing a maximum of 27,500 attendees, per the site, Marenostrum allows 18,500 fans.
To bolster sales, Lopez is also holding cheap 'meet and Greets' with fans — something she would never do in the States.
An Albanian news website, Tirana Post, said fans could pay $1650 to meet the star while in Spain it will cost you $2,000 to do so.
Meanwhile, I'm hearing Lopez will sing her latest jingle, 'Wreckage of You,' on stage — a homage to her failed marriage to Ben Affleck. In the song she debuted last week to a select group of 30 fans, Lopez warbles: 'The love I want, the love I need, it starts in me… now I found my way here, I'm gonna stay there. Thank you for the scars you left on my heart, was showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark. I won't fall apart because of who we are, but your broken parts.'
The song concludes: 'Because of you, I am stronger, wiser…Better than I've ever been. I won't let you no longer, longer, ever say goodbye to me. It was perfect the while that you made me believe, really got only greater for me, and it made me stronger, stronger, bulletproof. Now watch me climb out of the wreckage of you.'
This should be fun!
After the tour, Lopez will prepare for her 'residence' in Las Vegas — which is a small collection of states over New Years and in March 2026… as spies told me: 'It's not an actual residence. It's a trial run. To see if she can still sell in America.'

Leonardo DiCaprio and Girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti Kiss on PDA-Filled Yacht Outing in Spain
The Aug. 15 outing near the Spanish island of Formentera gave a rare glimpse into the private couple's relationship NEED TO KNOW Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti shared a kiss during a PDA-filled yacht outing on Friday, Aug. 15 The outing near the Spanish island of Formentera gave a rare glimpse into the private couple's relationship DiCaprio and Ceretti were first romantically linked in 2023 Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti are soaking up the sun in Spain. The actor, 50, and the model, 27, were spotted on a PDA-filled yacht outing near the island of Formentera on Friday, Aug. 15, per photos obtained by the Daily Mail. The couple shared a kiss as they spent time lounging together on the boat and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, the pictures reveal, giving a rare glimpse into the pair's romance. The couple — for whom traveling and yachting have proven to be favorite pastimes — was spotted spending time together and mingling with a larger group on the boat, the photos show. At one point, they shared a smooch as they sat in the shade, taking a break from the Spanish sun. Ceretti also appeared to place her hand on DiCaprio's backside as they walked up stairs together, one snap shows. Ceretti wore an animal-print string bikini, while DiCaprio sported a pair of black swim trunks. At different points, the pair both wore goggles as they appeared to take a dip in the Mediterranean. Earlier this summer, the pair — who have been romantically linked since August 2023 — were spotted on the way to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding welcome party, which they later attended. On June 26, the actor and model were seen leaving the Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice, Italy, en route to the event, which preceded Bezos and Sánchez's nuptials. DiCaprio, a longtime friend of the newlyweds, wore a dark suit and black baseball cap, while Ceretti opted for a long, neutral dress with textured fabric and stitching down the sides. She had her hair styled in a chic updo, and carried a nude clutch bag. Prior to the rare sighting, a source revealed to PEOPLE that DiCaprio and Ceretti were expected to attend the star-studded wedding. Months earlier, Ceretti opened up about her relationship with DiCaprio in an interview, marking the first time she's done so since the pair were romantically linked. In a cover story for Vogue France (translated from French), the model discussed her dating life with the star, who was referred to simply as a "very, very famous actor" in the feature for the magazine's April 2025 issue. Ceretti revealed that the pair first met "in Milan,' but said, 'I prefer not to go into details.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human-interest stories. She also shared her stance on the potential risk of being recognized for her relationship with DiCaprio rather than for her own career. "As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of' — or 'boyfriend of,' for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying,' she told Vogue France. 'Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex. So, it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.' Ceretti also said that dating someone whose star is as large as DiCaprio's is 'something you learn.' 'If what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed,' she told the French outlet. 'Because love protects and gives confidence."

Prince William and Kate Middleton's Upcoming Move Displace Two Windsor Families
Prince William and Kate Middleton's Upcoming Move Displace Two Windsor Families originally appeared on Parade. Prince William and Kate Middleton's next move on the Windsor estate has already led to a shake-up for a couple of nearby residents. The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 43, along with their children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, are preparing to leave Adelaide Cottage — their home of the past three years — for Forest Lodge later in 2025. As plans for the relocation progress,PEOPLE confirmed on Sunday, August 17, that two neighboring families were asked to leave their residences earlier this summer. According to the Daily Mail, the households had been living in cottages once converted from old stables on the estate. These properties, which were rented out through the Crown Estate, sit in close proximity to Forest Lodge, the new eight-bedroom home for the Wales family. While the transition may have come as a surprise, PEOPLE stated that the tenants did not receive eviction notices and were instead moved to 'similar or better housing' within Windsor Great Park. RELATED: Kate Middleton Was Supposed to Be on Vacation—Then She Dropped a Powerful New Project 'They were not expecting it,' a source told the Daily Mail. 'Those houses are very close to the lodge, so they're not going to want any Tom, Dick or Harry living in those houses if there are going to be royals there.' According to the outlet, additional privacy measures have already been put in place, including fresh shrubbery and screening around the property. Minor renovations are also underway, and a Kensington Palace spokesperson previously confirmed, 'The Wales family will move house later this year.' As for Kate, she recently expanded her early childhood advocacy with the launch of a new educational project. On August 6, the Princess of Wales unveiled seven animated videos through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, aimed at helping parents, caregivers, and professionals better support children's emotional and social development. 'Loving, responsive interactions with trusted adults help shape how children learn and grow, laying the foundations for future life health and happiness,' Kate explained in her announcement, noting that the series highlights how everyday relationships influence brain development.
