Jennifer Lopez Reveals She Almost Gave Up After Her Third Divorce
Lopez showed her vulnerable side to her fans on the opening night of her Las Vegas residency, “The JLo Show: Up All Night,” as she discussed a moment in her life where she almost gave up hope.
Before belting out some of her greatest hits, the 56- year- old singer stood on stage and told fans that she was ready to “give up on it all” after she and her then-partner, Marc Anthony, split.
“After my third divorce – that’s when I really started getting good at it,” she said, per the Daily Mail. “Seriously, that’s not funny.”
She continued, “It was actually a really tough time. I was really about to give up on it all. I mean, I was a single mom with two three-year-old twins.”

The Singer Shared The Powerful Advice Her Late Mentor Gave Her
During the show, Lopez dished about the advice that helped her stay strong and focused after her divorce from Anthony,
“I called up one of my mentors. Her name was Louise Hay. Some of you might know who she was. She passed away. But she said to me, ‘Jennifer, you’re a dancer, right?’ I said, ‘Yes, I am.’ She said.
“‘When you’re learning a dance, and you get the steps wrong, what do you do?’ I said, ‘I just keep going until I get the steps right,’ And she said, ‘That’s right, Jennifer. Always keep dancing.’”
“And I wish the same for each and every one of you that no matter what life throws at you, that you dance and you dance and you dance again and again and again. I love you so much!” she noted as she paced the stage in her glittery gown with her feathery wrap trailing by her heels.

The Actress ‘Loves To Work’ And ‘Never Complains’
The insider further claimed that Lopez is working hard on her new Las Vegas show in order to clear the doubts that she has passed her prime and can’t bring the roof down anymore.
“Everyone is going to the Sphere these days; that is the town’s big deal, so she wants to prove that a more old-fashioned concert at the Colosseum is still the place to be,” the source said, “Jennifer loves to work; she never complains, it’s her jam.”
They added, “Some people like to vacation on the beach in Hawaii, and some like to work nonstop. Jennifer is the latter. She feels proud to be doing so well at her age and as a Latina woman.”

She continued, “And I just feel fortunate that I have these amazing fans who’ve supported me for so many years, and there’s so much love that I feel that I always want to be giving the love back to them. It’s just been an incredible blessing in my life. I don’t know what I would do without it.”

Kim Kardashian is showing off her family’s four new puppies whether PETA likes it or not.
“Welcome to the fam,” Kardashian, 45, captioned an Instagram photo of her baby Pomeranians on Friday, March 6.
Two photos feature the adorable puppies — a pair with jet black coats, another with a cream coloring and a fourth with sable fur — snuggling up together on a couch. Several of Kardashian’s famous social media followers were overwhelmed by the cuteness on display.
“Omg. They’re so cute,” Vanessa Bryant replied, with close family friend Khadijah Haqq McCray adding: “They’re so cute, they almost don’t seem real!”

Kardashian originally shared both photos on Christmas Day when she revealed that she’d given each of her four children their own Pomeranian as a holiday gift. (Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West share four kids: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6.)
“Each kid got a puppy,” she announced via her Instagram Story on December 25, 2025.
The All’s Fair actress posted several videos of her kids playing with the Pomeranians on Christmas morning, including one clip of two of the puppies sharing a sweet kiss.
Not everyone was thrilled with the furry additions to the Kardashian family. Animal rights group PETA’s cofounder Ingrid Newkirk slammed Kardashian’s Christmas gift, insisting that “puppies are not plushies.”
It’s been well-documented that the Kardashian-Jenner family loves animals, a trait that they’ve already passed down to their children. Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian gifted their daughters — Penelope and North, respectively — twin Pomeranian puppies in June 2017. Penelope — whom Kourtney shares with ex Scott Disick — chose to name her pup Honey […]
“It’s a damn shame that Kim missed the chance to be a spokesperson for shelter pups,” Newkirk, 76, told the Daily Mail in December. “Ignoring the homeless animal crisis is inexcusably callous.”
Newkirk demanded that Kardashian “call PETA or a local shelter the next time” she was looking for a pet.
“[She can] try to make some amends now by sending [her] kids to volunteer at a local shelter or paying for a local shelter adopt-a-thon,” Newark demanded.
Kardashian never directly responded to criticism from PETA.
In the meantime, Kardashian has been spotted on numerous outings with Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton in the past few months. Us Weekly exclusively reported in February that Kardashian and Hamilton, 41, had “a few dates recently” but were keeping things “casual.”
“She has felt ready to put herself back out there recently,” a source told Us in early February. “Everyone around her wants her to be happy after everything she has gone through.”
That same month, Hamilton and Kardashian had their first major outing when they watched the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots during Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Us exclusively learned earlier this month that Kardashian and Hamilton have been spending more time together in recent weeks — including taking a trip to Arizona — because their busy schedules eased up.
“They both had a break in their schedules and decided to take another trip to spend more time together and really get to know each other,” an insider revealed. “It’s going well, and Kim has been genuinely enjoying her time with Lewis.”
The source insisted that Kardashian is “taking it slow” with Hamilton for now because he’s “the first person she’s been romantically involved with in a long time.” (Kardashian dated Pete Davidson from 2021 to 2022 and Odell Beckham Jr. from 2023 to 2024 following her 2021 divorce from West, 48.)
“Lewis is such a great guy and has really been courting her and treating her right. He’s been making all the plans and making sure she is taken care of,” a source told Us this month. “Everyone around her thinks it’s really sweet and what she deserves. Kim has had such a relaxed aura recently in all aspects of her life. Her mindset has totally changed. She’s not forcing anything, just letting it unfold naturally.”
Ari Fletcher is never afraid to make it clear that she’s not the one or the two!

Ari Fletcher Claps Back At Akademiks For Speaking On Her Name
Roomies, do y’all remember those viral alleged rumors about Ari Fletcher and Lil Baby? There’s still no word on how those rumors started, but fans were shook when they thought Jayda Cheaves addressed the tea during the TikTok livestream. Even though the buzz about Ari and Baby popped off at the top of 026, folks are still talking about it — specifically Akademiks. He recalled the situation during a recent livestream saying that he doesn’t think the accusations about Ari are too farfetched. Throughout the stream, he continued to double down on his beliefs saying Ari is known for messing with everybody’s guy. “Ari is like community p***y.” Akademiks continued, “Everybody f*** Ari. I’m talking about the popping rappers. Half of Atlanta f*** Ari. This is just what it is.”
Shortly after the clip of Akademiks started going viral, Ari Fletcher hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to respond. She told her followers to stay seated because she’s coming for his pockets.
“I want everybody to play very close attention to what I’m about to do to @Akademiks.I let yall play for way too long but you KEEP defaming my character. I’m taking it to hell. I hope that streaming money tucked bitch cause I’m coming!”
Social Media Sticks Beside Ari
After The Shade Room posted the clip of Akademiks, the comment section crazy. A bunch of folks sided with Ari and said she should sue him for speaking on her name, while others said they’re tired of him always bashing women. Peep some of the reactions below.
Instagram user @therealfitnessqueen wrote, “These men are the real gossip girls.”
Instagram user @straightouttachat wrote, “GET HIM!! Bankrupt him!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾”
While Instagram user @the_baddiepreneur wrote, “As she should because clearly he ain’t learned his lesson about speaking on these women yet!”
Then Instagram user @tattedkelli_ wrote, “She got him good legally. He didn’t say “allegedly” he’s just throwing stuff out negatively about her and no evidence to support his statements. She gone sue him.”
Another Instagram user @daone_n_onliibri wrote, “Do he ever speak on sports the way he love talkign bout women? Serious question.”
Instagram user @theyblovinnmee wrote, “He’s gonna be crying when she done with him & I can’t wait to laugh.”
Then another Instagram user @medium.bell wrote, “Why he speaking on this girl like he was there in the bedroom it’s weird.”
Finally, Instagram user @vashchats wrote, “Something about a man always speaking on a woman don’t sit right with me.”
Ari Appears Unbothered Amid Ongoing Lil Baby Rumors
To this day, nobody has confirmed whether Ari Fletcher and Lil Baby actually had relations, and neither of them have publicly addressed the rumors. But after fans thought Jayda Cheaves hinted at it during a TikTok livestream, many believed Ari responded in her own subtle way. Around that time, Ari dropped photos on Instagram showing herself posing in a dramatic fur coat and white dress. She kept the caption short, writing, “My year.”

Dallas Cowboys superstar Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, are not getting married — TMZ Sports has learned the two have broken up one month before their wedding.
We’re told the relationship had been rocky behind the scenes for months … but things came to a head with a blowup argument at their joint bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas — and Sarah Jane called it off.
She actually shared several snaps from her bachelorette party with her closest friends earlier this week … captioning the post, “I truly believe you can get through anything in life as long as you have really great friends. I love these girls so much.”
Before that, on Feb. 23, she said she “can’t wait to marry the love of my life” at their destination wedding in Italy.
Those posts have since been deleted.
The reality is, we’re told the relationship is beyond repair … so the focus will be on coparenting their two kids — ages 2 and nearly 10 months — moving forward.
The pair went official as a couple in 2023 … and Prescott proposed in October 2024.

Lala Baptiste And Jay Cinco’s Gender Reveal Moment
The gender reveal clip is giving all the feels! Outside under the evening sky, Lala Baptiste and Jay Cinco were surrounded by friends and family holding up phone flashlights, setting the perfect glow for the big moment. Lala stunned in a salmon-colored dress with fur details. Meanwhile, Jay rocked an off-white sweater with slacks, keeping it cozy yet stylish. Adding to the festive vibes, a man dressed as Santa Claus joined the scene. Then came the moment everyone was waiting for — a woman handed Jay a reddish box, which he passed to Lala. As she carefully unwrapped it, the camera captured their priceless reactions when they spotted a pink ball inside — confirming a baby girl is on the way. Lala’s face immediately lit up with pure joy. And, Jay rushed to hug her as she sat down, both completely over the moon.
The gender reveal fun didn’t stop there. In another video posted to Lala Baptiste’s social media, she shared a clip of her and JayCinco doing the viral cake reveal. The couple sat side by side, champagne glasses in hand, as they sliced into the cake to reveal the color of the dough — pink or blue. The video caption teased, “It’s a…” accompanied by blue, pink, and happy tears emojis. As the video shifted from black-and-white to color, fans got the moment of truth: a bright pink cake confirming they’re expecting a baby girl.

Many fans said it only made sense that Lala Baptiste is having a baby girl. While others claimed JayCinco was born to be a “girl dad” and predicted she’ll have him wrapped around her finger.

Southwest passengers had to make a detour for a security-related issue … which ended with cops rushing onto their plane guns blazing.
Video is circulating online that captured the moment that went down Friday … after a flight leaving Nashville for Fort Lauderdale had to divert to Atlanta.
Check out the clip … multiple officers outfitted in full tactical gear head down the narrow aisle way toward the back of the plane — before wrenching a man out of his seat and slapping cuffs on him.
People on the plane — unclear if it’s passengers or crew members — can be heard chanting “heads down, hands up” repeatedly … a reminder to everyone on the plane to not make any sudden moves while the cops go about their business.
Worth noting … several social media users are claiming the plane needed to make an emergency landing because bomb threats were made. We’ve checked with police, but we haven’t been able to verify that allegation.
In a statement to TMZ, a Southwest Airlines spokesperson tells TMZ … the plane landed safely at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to “respond to a possible security matter.”
The company lauds its flight crew’s response to the incident and apologizes to the passengers for the significant delay.
Southwest tells us customers were put on another aircraft, which continued on to Fort Lauderdale. They landed around 3:30 AM.
The FBI told us they did investigate a person allegedly connected to the incident … however, “There was no credible threat and no charges will be filed.’
