Jennifer Lopez had a big week last week. She hosted the American Music Awards and also announced another Vegas residency. The residency will be an extension of her summer tour, kicking off July 4 in Egypt and occupying most of her summer until mid-August. The Vegas residency starts on New Year’s Eve and she’ll do a couple more shows to kick off 2026 before resuming again through March 2026. So that’s summer, winter, and next spring all accounted for. 

 

Here's JLo sharing her busy schedule going straight from the AMAs to promoting the residency and christening the stage at Caesars. 

Never say she doesn’t hustle. 

 

But what about fall? Well, after premiering at Sundance back in January, Kiss of the Spider Woman will open wide in theatres on October 10 so JLo will likely be promoting the film. This is what we’ve been anticipating for a year now, when she and Ben Affleck broke up and we started looking ahead to how this Teflon bitch, who never looks back, would catch the upswing. A fall release sets her up for an award season run. I’m not saying it’s finally going to happen for her because she’s always an underdog where acting awards are concerned (let me say it again – she was robbed for Hustlers!) but what we can count on is that she’ll give it everything; and if f-cking Ben Affleck wants to be useful, he could actually help with the campaign since, you know, he’s actually a producer on the project. 

 

Anyway, there’s more than enough time to discuss this through the year, but just so you know, it’ll be a storyline for sure. 

Here’s JLo out for brunch yesterday with Emme. 


What else happened today…

I love almost everything Thom Browne does and I would wear every single outfit in this collection but also it’s even more The Royal Tenenbaums than usual and it reminds me that Thom and Wes Anderson, I don’t think they’ve worked together since the 2000s when Thom was at Louis Vuitton.

I’ve not yet started watching Overcompensating and it’s going to happen as soon as I get through the two Chinese dramas I’ve been preoccupied with lately. Dustin Rowles says it’s a “great Gen Z” comedy and dismisses all the Girls and Friends comparisons. (Pajiba)

 

Just learned something very, very useful today: how to preserve lettuce for two months! In this economy? This is better than a stock tip. (The Mary Sue)

Patti LuPone actually apologised – because 500 members of the Broadway community put out a letter calling her out for the misogynistic comments and racialist disrespect in her New Yorker interview in which she criticised Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald, and also demanding that she be disinvited from the Tony Awards. Broadway is a tight ecosystem, 500 people in that world is, well, almost everyone. And my takeaway from the letter is that some of those people must have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

I was supposed to head to London this week for Beyoncé. The tickets were purchased months ago, well before I knew my work schedule. And as it happens, I have to work this week on an important assignment. So I will not be seeing the concert and I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to and I have come to peace with it by watching everything on socials and reading everything anyone writes about the show. Taryn Finlay just produced one of my favourite pieces for Unbothered about how Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER tour is a celebration of Black girlhood. And if you want my tickets and you’re in London, I’m selling them at face value. (Refinery 29)
