Jennifer Lopez praised for laughing off epic wardrobe malfunction during concert
Jennifer Lopez has been praised for sensationally styling out a wardrobe malfunction on the Polish leg of her world tour. The singer and actor was performing in Warsaw on Friday (25 July) when her skirt slipped off her body mid-show, leaving her standing in her underwear. But despite initially gasping at the malfunction, Lopez quickly took it in her stride, laughing and joking with her dancers and saying to the crowd, 'I'm here in my underwear!' Lopez then waited as one of her dancers re-affixed the tear-off skirt to her body, while her back-up band continued to sing 'Happy Birthday' to the star – Lopez turned 56 a day earlier. Reports from the show suggest that the dancer failed to re-affix the skirt, leading Lopez to throw the garment into the audience. The incident sparked a wave of support from fans online. 'She's adorable and handled it like [the] pro that she is,' wrote a Lopez fanpage on Instagram. Another person wrote: 'life is too short, love how she and her staff [and] the crowd handled it.' Lopez is currently in the midst of her Up All Night tour, which is playing across Asia and Europe. Included in the show's setlist are many of her biggest hits, including 'On the Floor', 'Love Don't Cost a Thing', 'Waiting for Tonight' and 'Let's Get Loud'. The tour will conclude in Sardinia, Italy, on 12 August. During a stop in Barcelona earlier this month, Lopez joked about her rocky relationship history after spotting a fan carrying a sign that read 'J Lo, Marry Me?' 'I think I'm done with that,' Lopez joked in response. 'I've tried that a few times.' Lopez was married to the waiter Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, the dancer Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003, the singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, and actor and filmmaker Ben Affleck from 2022 to 2025. Lopez and Affleck were engaged in 2002, but called off their wedding in early 2004. In 2021 they announced that they had reunited, before marrying a year later. In 2024, the pair announced that they had separated once again.

Moulin Rouge's windmill sails turn again after restoration

Thirty two dancers decked out in red feathered costumes performed in front of the venue on Thursday evening to commemorate their restoration. Advertisement The sails — a vibrant emblem of Paris's bohemian culture — collapsed on April 25 2024 after a show. The mill's huge sails returned to operation,(Moulin Rouge via AP) The incident took place shortly before 2am after the last performance of the night had ended and the audience had left the historic cabaret venue, renowned for its dazzling shows and can-can dancers. Moulin Rouge's director Jean-Victor Clerico told French media at the time that a 'technical problem' led to the windmill's sails and part of the cabaret's illuminated sign crashing to the ground. Until their collapse more than a year ago, the Moulin Rouge's sails had been turning since 1889.
