She didn’t elaborate. “Michael” opens today, and it’s projected to make $65 million to $70 million over the next three days.  That would be a record opening for a music biopic.

The Blast says Jennifer Lopez is allegedly back to hoping she and Ben Affleck can work things out after he left his stake in their $60 million marital mansion to her. A source says, “She can’t help but see it as proof he’s the good guy she fell in love with, and she’s back to hoping that somehow, they might be able to work it out. He feels like this will absolve him of the way he messed with her head [during their marriage]. But that’s typical of Ben — he’s trying to avoid drama and only creating more. This isn’t him giving anything. This is him paying to be done. That house is the last tie, and he wants it gone, fast. He’d pay anything at this point. Because peace of mind is worth more than the money. Ben isn’t acting out of kindness, he’s making a smart decision for himself. He wants a clean, absolute break, and this is the quickest way to get there.”

We were in a red 12-passenger van. We’re not in a tour bus, nothing fancy about this. The song just blew up.

It was amazing to feel that collective team win.”

Lainey Wilson tells Us Weekly Magazine that she doesn’t pay attention to her haters.  “I’ve definitely become thicker-skinned, which I’m proud of, because for a minute, I did let it get to me.

When it comes to this wedding, money will be no object. They’re talking about inviting a couple of hundred people and putting them all up in Paris for a three-day extravaganza. It’s all very over the top. The way they’ve been acting lately, you’d think they were a couple of twenty-somethings enjoying a wild college romance, not two middle-aged divorcees!’
