(NewsNation) — Jennifer Lopez has announced she will be bringing 'Up All Night Live' to Las Vegas for a monthslong residency. The residency will take place at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It will kick off Dec. 30 of this year and will last through March 28. Lopez wrote on Instagram: 'SURPRISE JLOVERS! We're back! I'm doing a residency in Las Vegas! Join me for Up All Night Live In Las Vegas At The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.' This year, not only does she have the Vegas residency, but she will be starting her tour overseas in July.

One music industry insider told NewsNation's Paula Froelich, 'What is she thinking? Does her ego need a packed stadium so bad she will go where no other musician goes, for a reason, just to do her tired old dance moves and lip-sync? This is crazy.' The dates for her 'Up All Night' residency are Dec. 30 to Dec. 31, 2025; Jan. 2, 2026, to Jan. 3, 2026; March 6 to March 7; March 13 to March 14; March 20 to March 21; and March 27 to March 28.

Tickets are set to go on sale on Friday, June 6 at 10 a.m. PST. In 2024, Lopez dealt with her Las Vegas show being canceled and her marriage to Ben Affleck ending. Her biopic, 'The Greatest Love Story Never Told,' and her accompanying documentary, 'This Is Me… Now' also didn't do well. Froelich reported earlier this year that Lopez and her ex-husband Affleck haven't been able to sell their mansion, despite it being in a prime real estate area in the Los Angeles area since the fires. One source said in 2024 that the property taxes are $762,000 per year on the pair's mansion. They also said, 'Another $750,000 to insure it and maintain it. So, whoever buys it, they're out at least $1.5 million per year just to keep the lights on.' The home is still on the market for $68 million. Froelich spoke to one insider who said, 'That house is actually worth between $40 and $50 million. It's in a terrible location. Wallingford Estates is a gated community with no guard. Most homes in the area are from the 1970s and are worth between $5 million and $10 million. This is just a huge white elephant.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Jennifer Lopez suffers facial injury requiring stitches
Jennifer Lopez is on the mend after suffering a facial injury. The "Let's Get Loud" singer took to social media Tuesday to share a photo of her icing one of her eyes. "So this happened…" Lopez, 55, posted on her Instagram Story. She shared a second selfie without the ice pack, explaining that the injury happened while she was rehearsing for the American Music Awards, set to take place on May 26. Lopez is booked to host the show. A visible cut is seen at the top of Lopez's nose and a slight discoloration is visible around her eye. Lopez posted a third photo next to plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond and in her caption she wrote, "Thank you for stitching me up Dr. Diamond. A week later and a whole lotta ice, I'm good as new." It's unclear what caused the injury. Reps for Lopez did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The mother of two's rehearsal injuries come after her public split from Hollywood actor Ben Affleck. Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce on Jan. 6. In March, the "Argo" director set the record straight on the "root causes" of their split. Affleck and Lopez's different approaches to fame have been speculated as the cause of their separation after the premiere of Lopez's documentary, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," but the "Air" director emphasized it "wasn't the cause of some major fracture." "Part of it was, 'OK, if I'm going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that's interesting.' Because I thought it was an interesting examination," Affleck explained in a cover story for GQ magazine at the time. "There are a lot of people who I think have handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have, Jennifer among them." Lopez and Affleck have previously collaborated on projects during both rounds of their relationship, first in 2002 with the films "Gigli" and "Jersey Girl," and last year with the high-concept music film "This is Me... Now: A Love Story" and the accompanying documentary, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told." Affleck continued, "My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. As happens in relationships, you don't always have the same attitude towards these things. And so I thought, 'Oh, this is interesting, because how do you reconcile that?'" "I love and support this person. I believe in them. They're great. I want people to see that," he continued. "And I think the thing that I said in that documentary or the piece that they used was where I said, 'You don't marry a ship captain and then say, 'Well, I don't like going out in the water.' You've got to own what you knew going into any relationship. And I think it's important to say that wasn't the cause of some major fracture. It's not like you can watch that documentary and go, 'Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had.'"

Ben Affleck Is ‘Dating Again' After Jennifer Lopez Divorce: ‘He's Not Giving up on Love'
Flirting is hard — even for Ben Affleck! During a press appearance for The Accountant 2 in April, the Oscar winner revealed that his own struggles with dating mirror his character's. 'He's not comfortable extending himself … like so many of us,' Ben said, according to Page Six. 'It's not easy for anyone figuring out relationships, particularly at the very early part, where you're trying to gauge 'What does this signal mean? Is this person looking at me? Do they like me? Am I going to humiliate myself if I go over there?'' He's grappling with many of those concerns right now. 'Ben is dating again,' a source exclusively dishes to In Touch, adding that his whirlwind marriage and divorce from Jennifer Lopez, which was finalized in January, 'did a number on him, but he's not giving up on love.' The actor, who once told the New York Times that his split from ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after 10 years of marriage was the 'biggest regret' of his life, 'seems to thrive on the stability of being in a relationship,' says the source. 'He's looking forward to meeting someone new.' Perhaps another A-lister? According to an April 9 report in the Daily Mail, his 'secret crush' is Angelina Jolie, 49. 'She's definitely gorgeous and smart,' acknowledges the source, 'but that would be another high-profile romance, which he's really trying to avoid.' Partly because of his very public romances, Ben compared his life to a 'soap opera' in a GQ interview released on March 25, insisting that it's 'actually pretty drama-free.' The 52-year-old admitted his 'temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private' than his ex, 55, but denied that J. Lo's decision to share their romance with the world in the 2024 documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told was the cause of the split. 'The truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting.' If he shared the 'embarrassing' and 'vulnerable' reasons, he added, it would sound more like listening in to a couples therapy session. 'You start going, 'OK, clearly this person has got these issues. Clearly they have these issues.'' The twice-divorced father of three definitely has baggage, the source notes. And while 'he finds it difficult to meet the right type of woman' and has had issues with dating apps because of his fame, says the source, he knows exactly what he's looking for — and the red flags he wants to avoid. 'She must be independent, strong in her convictions and understand that Ben's sobriety has to come first,' the source says. 'Someone sober would be ideal, but it's not a priority.' He hasn't found her yet. 'But he's hopeful,' adds the source. 'He really does want lasting love.' As for J. Lo, she may not be moving on yet but is enjoying her time at work. 'She's having a blast filming her new rom-com with Brett Goldstein,' an insider says of her costar in Office Romance. The Ted Lasso actor and writer, 44, has openly confessed of his crush on her, 'and he fawns all over her. She's absolutely loving the attention, which has boosted her confidence,' adds the insider. 'They're always laughing and joking around. They're both professionals, but their flirty behavior in between takes has definitely caught the attention of everyone working on the movie.'
