Apparently people are talking about how Jennifer Lopez’s career is TANKING. Her new album “This Is Me . . . Now” underperformed, and she’s had to cancel several tour dates due to low ticket sales. So what’s causing all this? One brand expert says it started in 2022, with the Super Bowl documentary “Halftime”, where J-Lo griped about having to share the stage with Shakira. “Her grievance about it wasn’t expressed eloquently and made her seem unlikable.” But this same expert thinks she’s also suffering from Ben Affleck’s resting SAD face. “In the shadow of beloved and long-suffering Jennifer Garner, much of the imagery we have seen from J-Lo has been mundane: car rides with Ben, curb side arguments, fast food takeaways. Often looking miserable. This has shattered the fourth wall, one which we’d all bought into. We didn’t want her to be a normal person” – LINK

In her tell-all book, Rebel Wilson recalls the time she was invited to a drug-fueled orgy by a member of the British Royal family. A tech billionaire hosted the 2014 medieval-themed party in Los Angeles. Rebel doesn’t name the Royal that asked her to attend because the party needed more girls (quote) “The guy who invited me was like fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne.” She dashed out of the party after realizing the host was giving tablets of ecstasy (MDMA) like it was candy (quote) “There’s a huge private fireworks display. Then a guy comes out with a large tray piled with what looks like a ton of candy” – LINK
