Jennifer Lopez showed Ben Affleck exactly what he is missing as she sizzled in a plunging white  swimsuit on a  luxurious getaway to Italy with friends amid their rumored marital troubles. 

While enjoying her trip to Positano as her spouse, 51, remained home in Los Angeles, the 54-year-old superstar appeared to be having the time of her life as she cruised around the the west side of the Amalfi Coast on a speed boat.

An eyewitness told DailyMail.com that the Let’s Get Loud hitmaker appeared in ‘great spirits’ as she let loose with friends and could be seen dancing and having fun on the boat.

In addition to taking in the stunning scenery around her, the mother-of-two, who shares her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, posed for selfies from various angles and even snapped a few of her famous derrière.

It’s unknown who she was sending her flirty snaps to, but over the years, Affleck has been fond of boating with Lopez, and, memorably, recreated an iconic scene from her 2002 Jenny From the Block music video on a $130M dollar mega yacht as they vacationed together in Saint Tropez for her 52nd birthday after they first rekindled.

She and Affleck (seen in 2023) are rumored to be heading for divorce

She styled her low-cut low-piece with a pair of gold hoop earrings, two matching bangle bracelets, a pair of oversized sunglasses and her light brown hair in a sleek bun.

The Grammy nominee’s rare green diamond engagement ring remained in place on her wedding finger, despite reports she and Affleck are ‘living separate lives’ and selling their $61 million marital home.

The Atlas actress exuded confidence as she the stern of the boat in her sexy  bathing suit and a pair of open-toed high heels as pals rushed to capture the moment of her relaxing at sea.

Before stripping down to her  swimsuit, she wore a brown romper, which she later tucked into a Christian Dior tote bag.

The performer, who recently said that she is ‘thinner’ than ever after training for her film, Kiss Of The Spider Woman, has previously credited her fit figure to kickboxing, circuit training, core work and burpees.

‘I’m the thinnest I’ve ever been. I’m in fighting shape right now,’ she said on Live With Kelly and Mark last month.

Last year, she opened up about how moving her body helps her keep a positive mental attitude.

‘It’s no secret that fitness is a very important part of my life,’ the star told Us Weekly.

She continued: ‘I think there’s a positive correlation between exercise and mental health.’

Lopez went on to say that she believes that once ‘you find a good balance through determination and focus’ you’re able to to ‘be the best version of’ yourself.

Lopez claimed that she gets moving ‘first thing in the morning’ – which is often before 5 am when it is still dark – no matter what her ‘busy schedule’ has in store.

‘I try to make good choices and balance my time,’ she added to the site.

And she mixes up her workout moves.

‘I’m always evolving and looking for things that keep me excited and motivated,’ she explained.

‘I’m not afraid to challenge myself, so I’m open to pushing myself, which is what I’m doing right now as I rehearse for my new album, [This Is Me… Now].’

When her career first took off, she paid less attention to stress.

‘There was a time in my life where I used to sleep 3 to 5 hours a night. I’d be on set all day and in the studio all night and doing junkets and filming videos on the weekends. I was in my late 20s and I thought I was invincible,’ she wrote in On the JLo in July 2022.

‘Until one day, I was sitting in a trailer, and all the work and the stress it brought with it, coupled with not enough sleep to recuperate mentally, caught up with me.’

Then she felt ‘frozen.’

‘I thought I was losing my mind. … Now I know it was a classic panic attack brought on by exhaustion, but I had never even heard the term at the time.’

After consulting a doctor, the New York native said she ‘realized how serious the consequences could be of ignoring what my body and mind needed to be healthy — and that’s where my journey to wellness began.’

Lopez’s latest sighting comes after Affleck spoke about her in an new interview, filmed months ago, as he shed light on what it was like being wed to someone so famous.

In an interview with Kevin Hart for an episode from season four of his show Hart To Heart, the Oscar-winning actor addressed the singer’s enormous  celebrity.

The Air actor shared a story about how fans went ‘bananas’ when they spotted the Bronx-born beauty with him in Times Square in New York City.

Turns out, it was his idea to walk through one of the busiest neighborhoods with a superstar on his arm.

‘I try to make good choices and balance my time,’ she added to the site

‘I’m always evolving and looking for things that keep me excited and motivated,’ she explained

After suffering from panic attacks ‘brought on by exhaustion,’ she recalls beginning her ‘journey to wellness’

‘We went somewhere with [Jennifer]—I can’t remember because she’s so famous, and she creates this—people love her, and she really represents something important to people,’ Affleck began.

‘[To me,] people are like, “Hey, I like your movie,” and then they’re like “AAAHHHH! J-LO!” he yelled. ‘It’s amazing, you know what I mean?’

Then he got more specific.

‘I think it was when we rolled through Times Square,’ he continued.

‘We get out of the car, we were going to a play, and I was like, “F*** it, babe, we’re going to be late, we gotta walk a block and a half.” [Lopez] was like, “Alright,” she didn’t say s***.’

They were with all their children – he has Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with Jennifer Garner and Lopez has Max and Emme with Marc Anthony.

‘We get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the s*** was like f****n’ bananas,’ Affleck noted.

‘I was like, “Oh my God.” There was a lady, she was smoking weed, in a full purple skintight suit—she’s a heavy lady—and she starts running backwards filming, going “J-LO!!”

He added, ‘Like a herald, that then gets everyone else, and then all the tourists come in.’

Affleck said the chaos was a lot to take in.

Then we’ve got our five kids, it’s me and Jen and what feels like hundreds of people, and they’re all screaming.’

When he began telling the story to Hart, he said his daughter has this thing where she is ‘always throwing out titles to her autobiography.’

His daughter, he doesn’t name which one, then turned to her dad in Time Square after the frenzy began and said a titled for her autobiography could be: J-Lo Was My Stepmother.

He does bring up why his daughter used the past tense.

‘[To me,] people are like, “Hey, I like your movie,” and then they’re like “AAAHHHH! J-LO!” he yelled. ‘It’s amazing, you know what I mean?’

Affleck also addresses his resting grumpy face and his explanation is hard to believe as they actor – who has been in front of cameras for three decades – declares he is ‘shy’

Ben said: ‘I’m also a little bit shy. I don’t like a lot of attention. This is why people see me and they’re like, “Why is this dude always mad?” Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I’m like, “OK, here we go”‘

Ben said: ‘I’m also a little bit shy. I don’t like a lot of attention. This is why people see me and they’re like, “Why is this dude always mad?” Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I’m like, “OK, here we go”‘

Ben, who also directs, has no plans to stop acting: his next film is The Accountant 2

‘You have resting b***h face,’ Hart joked.

‘B****h? Now,’ Affleck responded as he pretended to be mad.

‘I have resting hard face. People are projecting onto me something that I don’t feel about myself at all.’

‘Jenny has had enough and she really tried but she can do no more, it’s not getting any better, it’s worse,’ a music industry source told DailyMail.com

Hart loses points for not asking Ben why he continues to be in showbusiness if he doesn’t like attention.

‘My wife will tell you, I like to talk,’ Ben also said earlier in the interview; it was worth noting that he did not say ex-wife, but the show could have been taped months ago.

One of those new plans is resuming her This Is Me… Live tour for the summer of 2025 when she turns 56. She canceled the 2024 tour that was scheduled to kick off in July in order to ‘recollect herself’

‘She is excited about going on tour next year when her personal life is on calmer ground and she can connect with her fans. She will take her tribe with her and make the most of it,’ said the source

Lopez is also said to be ‘shocked’ by the bad press she has been getting, which she believes is not fair

‘If people could see what she has really gone through they would be easier on her,’ said the source

Lopez is also said to be ‘shocked’ by the bad press she has been getting, which she believes is not fair.

‘If people could see what she has really gone through they would be easier on her,’ said the source.

‘Ben is a great guy but he can be grumpy and a downer. I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw how it really was, they would not attack her,’ said the friend of Jennifer.

‘He chain smokes and cusses and seems irritated a lot of the time. Great director and actor, but not a lot of laughs with him, you know?’ said the source. ‘He is a wonderful father though.’

Lopez plans on pushing on.

‘She is really not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she will get over it. She will march on,’ said the pal.

Lopez is reportedly done with her marriage to Affleck (seen in 2023), a source has told DailyMail.com, saying: ‘It’s over, she has had enough’

The main reason she left her husband was because he was always ‘grumpy and negative’ like Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street, the source added. Ben, 51, seen on June 11 in LA with his mother

The singer is sad about the end of her nuptials but ‘is trying to make the best of it by working out, spending time with her twins and making new plans for 2025’ (seen with Emme on June 8)

‘Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she will bounce back, she always does!’

These days she has been leaning on her close friends.

One is stylist Shawn Barton, whose nickname is Beezy. Another is vocal coach Stevie Mackey.

There have been many reports that Ben and Jennifer will announce their divorce soon and plan to do it on a Friday, which is the norm among  celebrities who are splitting.

When the source was asked about this they offered, ‘I think they have wanted to wait until all the kids are out of school and done with school plans and all that before they make their big announcement. They are putting the kids first.’

And as far as how Jennifer and Ben are getting along these days, the insider said they are being ‘cordial’ with each other.

So what happened to the once jovial Ben who used to smile at fans and make out with Jennifer in public?

The source points to the pressure in Ben’s career.

‘He is now filming Accounting 2 and the hours are really long, he is working hard at it and it’s a lot to juggle with marriage and kids,’ said the source. ‘So sometimes he is not in the best mood.’

Meanwhile, Lopez cleared her schedule this summer to give herself some downtime to re-examine her life.

‘She is living alone and not with Ben, I think everyone knows that already, so that is a major change for her and the kids,’ said the pal. Indeed, Ben moved into a $100K a month rental near Garner months ago.

‘Of course Jenny is sad, she loves Ben, but they are just too different, there is no give and take, there was no blending, they are just on separate tracks.’

The source added that Jennifer gave it her all: ‘She really tried hard to make it work, and it just did not work.

‘She invested a lot of time and energy, and I think he did the same. There is no one to blame here. It just was not in the cards. It is very hard for two massive stars to keep a marriage going, one has to give in

The world was deeply moved upon hearing of the untimely passing of Bryan Randall, Sandra Bullock’s cherished partner, at 57.

From their fateful meeting in January 2015

When Randall, the gifted model-turned-photographer, was hired to shoot her son Louis’s birthday, their relationship became a testament to genuine love and deep bond.

This bond only deepened over time, marked by moments like their presence at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s wedding.

Sandra Bullock, who adoringly speaks of her role as a mother to Louis and Laila, has shared insights into her life with Randall. During her December 2021 appearance on Red Table Talk, she warmly mentioned Randall’s elder daughter, showcasing the unity of their blended family. “I found the love of my life,” Sandra remarked, and further delved into their relationship, emphasizing, “We share three children. It’s the best thing ever.”

Bryan’s silent fight with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) was one they endured privately. ALS, a relentless neurodegenerative disease, attacks the nerve cells in both the brain and the spinal cord, manifesting in a plethora of symptoms:

A study in the Journal of Neural Transmission reveals that ALS touches around 2 of every 100,000 individuals globally. The condition’s prognosis is often daunting, with a majority of those with ALS typically facing respiratory failure within three to five years from the symptom onset, as highlighted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Lynda starred in the TV series Wonder Woman from 1975 to 1979, and she learned a lot about women strength during her time on the show. “Wonder Woman taught women to be themselves,” Lynda previously said.

Sir Ian McKellen recently turned 85 years old. The actor is perhaps one of the most prolific actors of his generation, having been knighted by the Queen herself in 1991.

The actor is still active today, and in a recent performance of his play, ‘Player Kings,’ he fell victim to a horrendous accident. Keep reading to know more.

On Monday this week, Ian McKellen was performing at the Noël Coward Theatre in London when a horrible tragedy befell him. The 85-year-old actor fell off stage during the performance.

According to reports, the actor was acting out a fight scene in the play when he lost his footing and fell.

It is not clear what injuries he has sustained as a result of the fall, but it seems the fall signalled the end of production for the evening as the theatre was evacuated.

Player Kings is an adaptation of Parts 1 and 2 of Henry IV. McKellen is playing the lead role of Jon Falstaff. His performance in the show has been praised widely by critics and fans alike.

According to the initial reports, the incident occurred as McKellen’s Falstaff circled a battle which involved his co-lead Toheeb Jimoh, who plays Henry Percy. During this scene, the actor fell off stage and cried for help. The actor was subsequently rushed to the hospital.

The theatre released an official statement to the press, which said, “Thank you to our audience and the general public for their well wishes following Ian’s fall during this evening’s performance.”

“Following a scan, the brilliant NHS team have assured us that he will make a speedy and full recovery and Ian is in good spirits,” the statement went on to say. “The production has made the decision to cancel the performance on Tuesday 18 June so Ian can rest. Those affected will be contacted by their point of purchase as soon as possible tomorrow. Thank you to doctors Rachel and Lee who were on hand in the audience and to all the venue staff for their support.”

An audience member present during the accident said later that it was “very shocking” and recounted it to the media, “As far as I saw, he was conscious because he was asking for assistance.”

Journalist Charlie Johnson, was in attendance at the theater when the incident took place. They took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to recount their experience of the incident.

“Just witnessed Ian Mckellan severely injure himself after falling off stage at Noel Coward Theatre. Sir Ian could be heard screaming in pain as ushers rushed to his aid,” he wrote. “Show cancelled as he is treated by ambulance crews. Wish him all the best.”

The production was scheduled to tour a series of theaters in London through July 27. Currently, it is unclear how McKellen’s fall would affect the schedule of the production.

We are sending our very best wishes to Sir Ian McKellen for a very speedy recovery. We hope the actor recovers in record time! Share this with other fans so they can send him their best wishes as well.

Celine Dion says her kids are afraid she’ll die as she battles Stiff-Person Syndrome … and they have a very good reason.

In a preview for the singer’s new interview with Australia’s “Sunrise,” Celine discussed her journey with the rare neurological disorder — which causes painful spasms and muscle issues — and she confessed it’s taken a major toll on her 3 children.

Although Celine had been private about her health struggles until announcing her diagnosis in 2022 … she now says her kids with late husband René Angélil have had a front-row seat to her illness … and it’s left them terrified.

She explains … “My kids are scared because they lost their dad, and they’re wondering if I’m going to die. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to lie … I got scared. It can be life-threatening. What’s going to happen?”

As Celine’s parents are no longer alive, she has had to rely on support from her friends, including singer John Farnham.

Celine is set to speak out more in-depth about her journey in her new documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion,” which arrives on Prime Video next week.

She also spoke with NBC’s Hoda Kotb this week, where she admitted to taking near-lethal doses of Valium to help treat her condition … not realizing how dangerous that was.

Meghan Markle is “pushing for an apology” from the royal family before she agrees to visit the UK, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly declined a rumored invitation to Prince Harry’s home soil next month after it was suggested that they bring their children with them.

The “Suits” alum, 42, has had a strained relationship with several senior members of her husband’s family, and even documented the hardships in several lucrative projects over the last few years.

Amid reports that Harry is reportedly planning to “reconcile” with his family during an upcoming trip to London, royal experts have suggested that peace between both camps is unlikely to happen until Markle receives an apology from the Firm.

Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths said that the royals have “given up” on issuing any sort of apology to the mom of two.

While talking about the time she turned down Elvis, Cher revealed she’s typically “really shy” around men, especially when she’s not working with them.

Then without any prompting she said, “And the reason I go out with young men is because men my age are older — well, now they’re all dead — but before, they were always terrified to approach me. And younger men were the only ones that…”

“They’re bold,” Jennifer Hudson interrupted.

“Yeah, raised by women like me,” Cher added.

Her explanation comes after her relationship with Alexander “AE” Edwards, who is 40 years her junior, captured the attention of both fans and the media.

When questioned about Edwards’ potential motives, Cher responded on X, “Let Me Explain…I DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS.”

It’s 2024, we shouldn’t have to give a reason why we choose the people we date. As long as it’s not harming anyone let people love who they love.
