Braless Jennifer Lopez, 55, suffers a nip slip in a plunging peach dress before swiftly changing into a high neck white gown at benefit concert
Jennifer Lopez suffered a wardrobe malfunction on Monday as she attended the Ring Them Bells benefit concert in New York City. The singer, 55, was one of several performers who took to the stage at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre to celebrate songwriter John Kander's 98th birthday. And she ensured all eyes would be on her as she made her arrival at the venue clad in a plunging peach gown with feathered sleeves. Unfortunately, braless J Lo ended up revealing a bit too much as her dress pulled to the side as she walked, resulting in a nip slip. Yet she didn't let the mishap get her down as she continued to confidently strut into the performance before changing into another eye-catching look. There was no chance of a nip slip in her second gown, with Jennifer leaving the theatre in a striking white high neck dress with jewel embellishment on the collar. The quirky dress did show off her tanned and toned pins, however, with a structured asymmetric hemline and sweeping train. She added to the glamour with a silver clutch bag and towering pair of platform heels. The Ring Them Bells benefit was hosted by Alan Cumming and saw a host of performers take to the stage to showcase the life and career of Kander - who composed shows including Cabaret, Chicago, and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Jennifer's inclusion in the concert followed on from reports that she is 'ready to date again' following her divorce from Ben Affleck. 'Jennifer wants to be in love again,' a source told Though she has been linked to Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner after they spent time at the iconic western apparel store Kemo Sabe in Aspen Colorado over Christmas, she is interested in another Yellowstone type. 'She had a crush on Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone and wants a guy like that, someone who can have her back and make sure she is OK,' the pal noted. 'She wants to be put first and made to feel special. 'Her life is a lot, she needs a man who can handle all that and still love her unconditionally like the way Rip love Beth Dutton.' There was no chance of a nip slip in her second gown, with Jennifer leaving the theatre in a striking white high neck dress with jewel embellishment on the collar In an odd twist, Ben is friends with the actor who plays Rip: Cole Hauser. They starred together in Good Will Hunting. Meanwhile, Jennifer is busy with her career. 'She wants this summer to be amazing after a tough start to the year,' said a friend to First she is filming her new movie Office Romance in New Jersey with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein. Then she will perform on June 6, 2025 at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington, DC. And she will celebrate her 56th birthday, which falls on July 24, in style with her twins Max and Emme. Though Jennifer had a terrific 2024 with her career - Atlas was a major success - she was put in a negative light after ending her marriage to Ben. She was portrayed as the one with the problem after so many marriages went bust: her husbands have included Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony and Ben. She was also engaged to Alex Rodriguez. Sources tell that Jennifer wants to shine in 2025.

Liza Minnelli makes rare appearance to receive award on ‘RuPaul's Drag Race'
Liza Minnelli made a rare public appearance during the Season 17 finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race." The legendary actor and singer received the Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award on the April 18 episode of " RuPaul's Drag Race" for her "dazzling contributions to entertainment and sharing her irrepressible joy." Minnelli, 79, was met with a roaring applause from the studio audience when she appeared on stage during the episode, donning a sequined monochromatic black ensemble. She was poised on a podium center stage, seated in an opulent throne with one of her legs dangled over the arm of the chair. Dancers performed in front to her song "Ring Them Bells," with Minnelli snapping her fingers along to the music as she took in the celebration. From the crowd, several of the contestants, as well as judges RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Carson Kressley, shook their bells, paying homage to Minnelli. After the dancers' performance, RuPaul joined Minnelli on stage to talk to the singer about her outfit (Halston and Elsa Peretti, "of course," she said). The icon showed off her wit during the interview, revealing that she had once gotten five costumes for Christmas. When asked by RuPaul if she still had them, she quipped, "Somewhere." RuPaul also prompted Minnelli to reflect on her childhood, including her memories of watching dancers rehearse at MGM. "Well, you know, everybody would rush to see whatever my mother was doing, and my father especially, because he was making people do magic," Minnelli explained, referring to her late mother and father, Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli. "Oh, he was the best." Minnelli's half-brother, Joey Luft, was also in the studio audience to support his sister at the show. RuPaul later took a moment to share his love — and the nation's — for Minnelli, earning a sincere response from the singer. "Thank you. I don't what else to say except if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be me," Minnelli said. "You made me." RuPaul shared a clever response, adding, "Well, you made us, actually." Minnelli's appearance on "RuPaul's Drag Race" was rare, with the performer not often seen in public in recent years. She previously presented the award for best picture at the Academy Awards in March 2022 alongside Lady Gaga, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. During an October 2024 conversation with Michael Feinstein for Interview Magazine, she gave fans an inside look at her life today, explaining that she was "writing, creating, and working" with Christopher Young, whom she described as a "pure genius." "I'm also recording again and producing with you, Michael, and Sam Haskell," she said. "Our baby business just keeps growing, and at this age that's a helluva good time." Minnelli also shared some health advice, adding "You didn't ask, but I have one piece of advice: Take care of your body 'cause you might live longer than you expect to."

Liza Minnelli makes rare appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race for her first performance in years
Liza Minnelli took the stage in the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race to sing the 1972 hit 'Ring Them Bells,' marking her first major performance in three years. 'I love you,' the 79-year-old, award-winning actor screamed at the crowd, to which host RuPaul responded: 'I speak for a grateful nation when I say, 'Liza, we love you.'' Minnelli said: 'Thank you. I don't know what else to say, except, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be me. You made me!' Continuing to egg on the crowd, RuPaul, 64, yelled: 'Well, you made us, actually! One more time, let's ring them bells!' Earlier in the season 17 finale, Minnelli was recognized as this year's Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award winner, honoring her lasting impact on the drag community. The Cabaret actor has famously been an ally within the LGBTQ+ community for years, spreading awareness and advocating for HIV/AIDS research during the 1990s epidemic. Minelli also penned a heartfelt letter to the community in 2017 as part of Billboard 's Pride Month celebration. 'Where would I be without the LGBTQ community of dazzling souls who have always supported and understood me on a level that is unique and extraordinary?' she started. 'From my earliest memories I understood that some people were different, especially when I met so many of the creative people who were working on films made by my mother and father. The veteran star is the daughter of Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli. 'In the 'golden' age of Hollywood, many could not be themselves in the workplace and live their true nature, yet it was their creativity that fashioned the dreams of Hollywood and the world,' she continued. 'And they were my friends. I learned that 'different' meant many things: freedom, oppression, celebration, sadness, responsibility, hiding, protesting, sharing, but most of all being true to one's self no matter the price.' Minnelli's performance on RuPaul's Drag Race comes three years after her last one at the 2022 Oscars to announce the Best Picture winner. Minnelli appeared in a wheelchair alongside Lady Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Though she took a break from being on stage for some time after, Minnelli's love for performing has never wavered. The Hollywood star opened up about her passion in an October 2024 interview with Interview Magazine for its 55th anniversary edition. 'I love performing. I still take dance lessons, and when I sing to people in the theater, I'm not giving a performance—I'm sharing my love with each individual person. I'm asking, 'This is how I feel. How 'bout you?' My work is real,' she told Michael Feinstein.
