JENNIFER LOPEZ HAS HER EYE ON A NEW MAN

They say every dark cloud has a silver lining, but Jennifer Lopez hopes the dark cloud of her divorce from Ben Affleck is lined in GOLD! Jennifer’s upcoming movie, Unstoppable is deliberately set for a limited theatrical release on December 6 to qualify for the Academy Awards. Her anything but glamorous performance is gaining a lot of Oscar buzz, and J.Lo is hoping that the sympathy from her split will sway voters to nominate her for a Best Actress Oscar. My source adds that until the time nominations are announced you can plan on seeing a lot more of Jennifer Hollywood events. (Like this week’s 15th Annual Governor’s Awards -above) As my source jokes, the only man she is focusing on now is OSCAR.

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS STILL LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE

Jennifer Lopez may have finally found her bachelorette pad. Jennifer and her estranged husband, Ben Affleck put their Beverly Hills mansion on the market when they split up, and while Ben quickly found a new place to hang his hat, Jen’s been house hunting for months. According to my real estate source, Jen recently toured a home in the gated community of Hidden Hills, where the Kardashians call home, and she loved the equestrian vibe as well as the enhanced security of the community. She isn’t particularly keen on living 45 or so minutes outside of Hollywood, but she’s ready for a change and feels this could be IT.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT: BEN AFFLECK’S EXES ARE DOING A MOVIE TOGETHER!

In a textbook example of art imitating life, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner are coproducing a romantic comedy with the working title, The Exes, about two women who were married and divorced from the same man and wind up becoming best friends. The script is still being fleshed out, but according to my source, Netflix has already greenlit the project. While it would make sense that Ben Affleck play the role of their husband, since he was married to each of them – THAT’S not likely to happen. The front runner for the role is Bradley Cooper, but he’s yet to be officially cast.

IT’S DEFINITELY OVER: JEN AND BEN ARE REMOVING THEIR MATCHING TATTOOS

Now that their marriage is over, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are both getting surgery – laser surgery, to erase their matching tattoos. To celebrate their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple, Ben and Jen got identical love tattoos with their names intertwined (it was her first permanent tattoo, but just another one for his collection). According to a friend of the estranged couple, both are undergoing laser treatments to erase the permanent ink. While Jen wants it gone forever, Ben is getting it minimized and then plans to have something tattooed over it.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

As more and more accusers come out against Sean Diddy Combs, we are hearing that Jennifer Lopez has now lawyered up as she’s anticipating getting dragged into the legal proceedings. Jennifer has been told to expect a subpoena and she’s quietly retained an attorney who specializes in these matters. We also heard Diddy is terrified that J.Lo could be the final nail in his coffin and he’ll never see freedom again.

Surprise, surprise! Donald Trump made the news again for another shocking reason. His former chief of staff, John Kelly revealed that Trump once invoked Adolf Hitler and wanted a military like he had. No surprise that pathological liar Trump DENIED the story, but we are hearing this. Allegedly an audio tape of the outburst exists, so don’t be too surprised if it gets released before Election Day. As my source puts it, any Jewish person who supports Trump now will likely have second thoughts once they hear the supposed recording.

Liam Payne’s drug fueled death in Buenos Aires is still dominating the headlines as more sordid details emerge. Here’s what we just heard. His former band, One Direction, is secretly planning to reunite for either a charity concert or a new song to raise money in Liam’s honor for mental health issues. It’s a huge secret and the countless details (not to mention egos) still need to be worked out, but behind closed doors the plan is being worked on.

Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Rashee Rice, made headlines when his mom, Marsha was charged with a misdemeanor – for allegedly swiping a package off of a neighbors’s porch. We heard that although Rashee is out for most of the season with an injury, he’s still attending games and the powers that be have made it clear he’s not to be photographed anywhere near Taylor Swift when she attends games. Interestingly enough, this edict didn’t come from Taylor’s people, but from the Chiefs execs as they don’t want to risk Taylor getting any bad publicity for attending games.

Renee Zellweger is standing by her man, Ant Anstead, who just made headlines amid his company’s bankruptcy filing and allegations of fraud on his part! Our well placed source reveals that Renee is opening up her pocketbook and offered to help Ant with the mounting expenses of the filing. Ant previously revealed that he sunk the vast majority of his money into the bespoke car company and Renee (who is much much wealthier) isn’t fazed that his fortunes could be changing. As my source explains, although they don’t have a marriage license, Renee basically considers herself married to Ant and that means for richer or poorer.

And finally the Kardashians made the news for filming a top secret project this week. While the open book family usually shares way too much information on everything, this time they’re being notoriously tight lipped. Here’s what we know. The project involving the entire family was a Super Bowl commercial. Remember those commercials are basically mini movies and cost millions to produce and millions more to air. The entire family -and of course everyone involved- had to sign NDA’s so while we don’t know for sure what product or company the spot is for we have heard some rumblings that it was a commercial for Amazon Prime. This makes perfect sense since Kim and her mom Kris Jenner are close to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

NEWLY SINGLE JENNIFER LOPEZ AND LEAH REMINI JOIN FORCES

Although this sounds like the plot of a sitcom, it’s real life. Best friends, both in their mid 50s, wind up single within weeks of one another, so they decide to become roommates as they try to pick up the pieces of their lives and navigate the dating scene and menopause. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out we are referring to Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini! The gals have decided to become roommates until they both find new places to live. Jennifer listed her mansion above Beverly Hills while Leah recently sold her Studio City compound for just under $10 million. According to my source, the girls think it will be fun to have each other to commiserate with – now that they’re both single and middle-aged. They’re looking for a rental property to share in Hidden Hills and Thousand Oaks, California.

JENNIFER LOPEZ: NO MORE SHOWBIZ GUYS

After her fourth divorce and countless breakups, Jennifer Lopez is telling pals that the only way she will publicly date or remarry again is if the guy has ZILCH to do with the entertainment industry. Jen’s exes include an aspiring actor, a backup dancer, a professional athlete, an A-list crooner, and most recently, the very famous Ben Affleck. She explained to a pal that she has finally seen the light and her next partner will be a mega-successful mogul with no aspirations to act, sing, or play pro sports. Attention Lauren Sanchez: If you’re reading this, it might be a good time to keep a close eye on your fiance Jeff Bezos, since he sounds like EXACTLY what J.Lo is after!

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS ALSO DREADING THE SEAN PUFFY COMBS TRIAL

Seems like a LOT of people in Hollywood are nervous about the upcoming Sean Diddy Combs trial. Jennifer Lopez has just been informed that she will likely be called as a witness in the trial of her ex-boyfriend. According to my well-placed source, J.Lo was approached by the Feds to sit down for an interview but she declined, citing her fifth amendment rights. Keep in mind, Jennifer is NOT a defendant in the case – ONLY a witness. She had every right to refuse to talk to the Feds during their investigation into Diddy, but if she IS served a subpeona, she will have NO CHOICE but to take the witness stand. And talk.

THEIR KIDS BROUGHT BEN AND JEN TOGETHER FOR LUNCH

 Ben Affleck’s son Samuel  and Jennifer Lopez shared a huge hug in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel this weekend.  Loyal readers shouldn’t be surprised that Jennifer  had lunch with Ben Affleck and four of their combined five kids yesterday at the hotel. As we’ve been reporting, Ben and Jen’s children have formed a strong bond similar to The Brady Bunch. My inside source reveals it was the KIDS who arranged the joint lunch with Ben and Jen, as they are still hoping that the estranged couple can work out their differences and stay together. My source also reveals that you can expect to see more of Ben and John hanging out in the near future – all thanks to THE KIDS!

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Katy Perry was honored at the VMAs this past week with the Vanguard Award, (lifetime achievement) and Taylor Swift was seen in the audience singing and dancing along to the performance. This made headlines because the gals went from best friends to enemies after a well publicized spat over back-up dancers. They recently buried the hatchet, and there’s a reason Taylor was so animated in the audience while Katy performed – they are planning to do a DUET together. We just heard about the top secret plan and the single will be released in early 2025.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, the weeks’ biggest news was her endorsement of Kamala Harris. We recently revealed her boyfriend Travis Kelce was planning to follow in her footsteps and endorse the Democratic nominee as well, but we just heard that plan has hit a snag. Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and the owners are Trump supporters. Poor Travis is facing a real-life Sophie’s Choice, either disappoint his girlfriend or the people who sign his paycheck. My source says he is still hoping for a way to endorse Kamala without officially endorsing her, which means expect to see him at one of her upcoming rallies.

Selena Gomez made the news this week when it was revealed she was worth approximately $1 billion thanks to her line of beauty products. According to our source, Selena is wasting no time spending her newfound fortune. She just began looking at homes in Montecito, California, right down the street from where Oprah Winfrey resides. My source explains that her goal is to get married and have a child via surrogate in 2025 and she loves the idea of raising a family in the affluent coastal community.

Donald Trump made headlines for his disastrous debate performance against Kamala Harris and he just announced he won’t be participating in any more debates. We just heard this scoop though. Kamala had accepted a few offers to debate Trump on NBC and she still plans on showing up to spread HER message to the American people even if Trump is a no show.

Finally, Jennifer Lopez made headlines when she appeared in Toronto at her Unstoppable movie premiere alongside Matt Damon but without her estranged husband Ben Affleck. (Ben, Matt, and Jen all produced the film). J.Lo and Matt were seen clasping hands engulfed in conversation and we just heard they weren’t talking about their movie. My source says Matt is devastated that Ben and Jen are calling it quits and he was encouraging her to work it out. We have all seen Ben’s history of spiraling when he’s single, and Matt is fearful Ben will fall off the sober wagon once he faces the reality of being alone again. Jennifer still loves Ben but our source says his mood swings became too much for her to handle. The ONLY way she’s calling off the divorce is if he checks into a treatment center and gets his moods under control.
