Jennifer Lopez faces backlash for 'cringe' American Music Awards performance
Jennifer Lopez has been slammed by some for 'trying to stay relevant' after kissing her back-up dancers at the American Music Awards. Overnight the 55-year-old-singer hosted this year's awards, which were held in Las Vegas. Kicking off the night, J-Lo performed a six-minute medley of 23 songs by the other artists nominated – including Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso, Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club and Beyonce's Texas Hold 'Em. However, during the medley, she also snogged a male dancer and then a female dancer. Soon after, comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish appeared on stage and addressed the moment. 'How cool is it to have a total superstar like hosting the AMAs?' the 45-year-old declared. 'Our host has just danced to 23 hits in six minutes. Just from that opening number alone, Jenny from the Block has got all her steps in for the day, and she got all her kisses in. 'Save a dancer for me, J-Lo. Damn! You ain't the only one out here single,' she added before announcing the winner for the Favourite R&B Song category. Despite Tiffany singing J-Lo's praises, some viewers made it clear they thought it was too much.

However, others lapped up the performance, calling it 'incredible'. 'I am still not over her opening performance. This woman is everything,' user JENerationJLo declared. In a red-carpet interview with Variety after the show, J-Lo proudly told Variety that the idea for the gay kiss was hers. 'It was mine,' she said while giggling. Earlier this year, J-Lo's divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck was finalised. The former couple, dubbed Bennifer, were maried in two separate ceremonies in 2022, a year after getting back together. They had previously been engaged in the early 2000s but broke up and each went on to marry Marc Anthony and Jennifer Garner. In August last year the singer filed for divorce on their two-year wedding anniversary.

'The fairy tale she was promised turned out to be a nightmare in the end,' they told People Magazine. 'She's in a really good place and just wants to close the door on this crazy chapter.'

Jennifer Lopez pokes fun at the economy amid fears of U.S. recession
took aim at the shaky U.S. economy in reposting a viral meme that quoted her 2001 hit Love Don't Cost A Thing. The 55-year-old star - who's worth an estimated $400million - shared her sentiments with her followers, adding a hysterical laughing emoji indicating she found it funny. 'Due to inflation, my love will now cost a thing,' the post read, which was a cheeky riff off the title of the track, which has more than 206 million YouTube views. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO J-Lo's fans got a laugh at the meme and many commiserated with star in the comments. 'That's right sister';'lmao exactly mother'; 'she not playin' games wit' yall!!' are just a few of the comments that agreed with her sentiment. With concern that the U.S. may plunge into a recession, many people are feeling the pinch. Trump has provided contradicting comments about what he plans on doing, leading to more uncertainty in the economic markets, the AP reported Friday. The President has said that he will proceed with recalibrating the tariff rates in the coming weeks. He and China are actively in talks regarding tariffs, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China government officials have said otherwise. While funny, J-Lo's post doesn't really apply to her and her estimated net worth of $400 million. However, one economic issue she has to deal with is the $68million house she and her ex-husband Ben Affleck bought during their brief marriage. They renovated the Beverly Hills estate to suit their needs. But they've had very little interest in the pricey abode since it hit the market in August 2024. Sources have told TMZ that Ben is eager to lower the price of the house while J-Lo is not ready to do so - despite there not being much interest in the abode. 'Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is. But the real-estate market is not there and it's not selling,' an insider told Us Weekly. Meanwhile, Ben is prepared to sell, no matter the final offer. 'Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,' the insider stated. He just wants it over and to sell it. He wants to reduce the price.' Some realtors also informed TMZ that the $68m asking price is too high and needs to be dropped by at least 15 per cent if the pair want to offload their marital home. An agent told the publication that the two stars had overpaid for the estate - which consists of 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
