Jennifer Lopez kisses multiple dancers at music award show after divorce

Photo: AFP Jennifer Lopez made out with multiple backup dancers Monday (May 26) when she opened the American Music Awards with a dance set to a medley of nominated songs. The public displays of affection came on the heels of finalising her divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this year. A male dancer smooched the newly single Bronx-born pop star, 55, who then kissed a female dancer during the transition from Benson Boone's Beautiful Things to Teddy Swims' Lose Control . The seven-minute, often steamy performance opened the Memorial Day awards show, which Lopez also hosted. Earlier this month, Lopez posted selfies of her bruised eyes and a cut on her nose she'd suffered '(during @amas rehearsals),' for which she ultimately needed stitches. Also Monday, Lopez revealed she's doing a residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from Dec 30 to Jan 3 and for much of next March. This time a year ago, headlines were rife with speculation that she and 52-year-old Affleck were headed for divorce, during which Lopez canceled her tour. Though Lopez and the Oscar winner were engaged in the early aughts – and ultimately married and had kids with Marc Anthony and Jennifer Garner, respectively – it wasn't until summer 2022 that the stars wed, once in July and again in August. The Love Don't Cost A Thing singer filed for divorce in August 2024, on their second wedding anniversary. The divorce was finalised in January. Lopez recently told Spanish newspaper El País that she's in 'the best' period of her life. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

"I don't know when that's happening," she said of the couple's big day, later adding,"Whenever it happens, I'm so happy for her, and I'll be there to support." It might be a while before Holland and Zendaya, both 28, tie the knot. "They will just enjoy things for now and won't rush a wedding," an insider told PEOPLE in January. "They are both busy with work projects." Zendaya's longtime stylist, Law Roach, recently suggested that the couple will keep mum about the big day when it happens, despite all the buzz.

He continued, "There won't be a Vogue spread or there won't be pictures of the wedding and the people who she will invite will be really respectful of their privacy, so it will be a really beautiful dress that no one gets to see."

Benson Boone announces San Francisco tour stop after viral BottleRock moment with Steph Curry
Pop star Benson Boone, fresh off a standout performance at BottleRock Napa Valley that had Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry singing along, announced he's bringing his American Heart arena tour to the team's home court this fall. The San Francisco stop at Chase Center is set for Oct. 1 and will be part of Boone's sweeping North American tour supporting his upcoming album 'American Heart,' due out June 20. The tour is scheduled to kick off in Saint Paul, Minn., on Aug. 22, and includes marquee stops at Madison Square Garden in New York, Arena in Los Angeles and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, before wrapping in Salt Lake City on Oct. 8. At BottleRock over the weekend — which included headlining sets by Green Day, Justin Timberlake and Noah Kahan — Boone drew one of the festival's largest crowds with a high-energy set that included his viral hit 'Beautiful Things.' Curry, standing near the stage with his wife Ayesha, filmed himself singing along and shared the moment on social media. The NBA star, who was sidelined for much of the Warriors' playoff run after a hamstring injury in Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, appeared fully in off-season mode. A veteran BottleRock festivalgoer, he was back representing his bourbon brand, Gentlemen's Cut, which debuted at the event in 2023. Boone, 22, leaned into the spotlight in Freddie Mercury-inspired fashion: mustache, white tank top and acid-wash jeans. But it was his backflips that really set him apart from the other performers. Boone was the only performer at the three-day Memorial Day weekend concert to go airborne onstage. In addition to Curry, fellow Bay Area sports stars George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk of the San Francisco 49ers were spotted at Boone's set, joined by their wives, Claire and Kristin. Backstage, Boone spent time with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, while celebrities including Leslie Mann, Judd Apatow, 'Righteous Gem Stones' star Adam DeVine, 'Survivor' host Jeff Probst, tennis legend Serena Williams and Governor Gavin Newsom with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom were seen enjoying the festival. 📸 Benson Boone e Dave Grohl, vocalista do Foo Fighters, via Instagram stories (_chrispotter). — Benson Boone Brasil (@BensonBooneBRA) May 25, 2025 Tickets for Boone's Chase Center show go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, May 30. Presales begin earlier in the week through American Express and the artist's fan club. 'Beautiful Things,' now streamed more than 2 billion times on Spotify, earned Boone a Grammy nomination and the 2024 IFPI Global Single Award. He recently performed on 'Saturday Night Live' and made headlines at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival with a surprise appearance by Queen's Brian May.
