Alex Rodriguez Surprised Jennifer Lopez With a Stripper-Themed Cake in Honor of 'Hustlers'


When it comes to power couples, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are definitely up there in the rankings. The two aren’t afraid to hide their feelings for each other, either—their Instagram and Twitter feeds basically consist of sweet moments and surprises they’ve shared with each other, plus plenty of evidence of A-Rod’s Instagram husband skills. They’re so close, in fact, they even dress alike—and have done practically since they started dating. Now, things seem to be leveling up along with their relationship status: The engaged couple took a moment on Friday (September 13) to celebrate J.Lo’s latest role in the Oscar-buzzy film Hustlers, released that day—and A-Rod had the cutest surprise for his wife-to-be.

J.Lo shared a few video clips on her Instagram Stories on Friday that captured her reaction to a stripper-themed cake A-Rod surprised her with in honor of her role—highly appropriate, considering the insanely hard pole-dancing scenes she absolutely nails in the film. It’s decked out with two (decorative, not actual) dancers, a few mini $100 bills, and a very casual “Congratulations on your movie!”

The sound doesn’t play in J.Lo’s Instagram Story below, but in the original version you can hear her freaking out about the cake: “Oh my god, look at this!” she says excitedly. There’s also a personal note from A-Rod that she pans to with the camera: “Baby, congratulations on Hustlers. So proud of you! Love hustling through life with you. Love, Macho,” it reads.

The celebration doesn’t end there, though: There was also a tray of cake pops and mini cupcakes, which everyone knows is the mark of a real party.

These two—always adorable. And there might be a few more reasons to celebrate come awards season: There’s a great cast (J.Lo, as well as Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart, and Keke Palmer) in front of the camera, and Lorene Scafaria, a writer-director-producer triple threat, behind it—and critics are already loving it.

Jennifer Aniston Says She'll Never Stop Coloring Her Hair: 'I Don't Want Gray'


Jennifer Aniston might have moved past her famous Rachel cut, but there’s one thing she says she’s never changing about her hair: her regular appointments with her colorist.

In a new interview with InStyle magazine, the actress admitted that she no intention of ever going gray.

The interview was part of the Instyle‘s October beauty issue, in which the publication asked Aniston about her favorite beauty tips and routines. At one point in the conversation, the reporter noted that in Aniston’s new Apple+ TV series The Morning Show she plays an ambitious television host with “perfectly highlighted tresses.” To this, Aniston confided that “she plans to keep her monthly colorist appointments until the bitter end.”

She added, “I’m not gonna lie — I don’t want gray hair.”

The gray hair topic is especially interesting because Aniston, who just turned 50, also opened up about how she thinks society should address beauty and aging. “Fifty was the first time I thought, ‘Well, that number,’ ” Aniston says. “I don’t know what it is because I don’t feel any different. Things aren’t shutting down in any way. I feel physically incredible. So it’s weird that it’s all of a sudden getting telegraphed in a way that’s like, ‘You look amazing for your age.’ I think we need to establish some etiquette around that dialogue and verbiage.”

She might not want gray hair, but she did have a lot to say about maintaining soft, glowing skin. “I think it’s because my mom told me to start moisturizing when I turned 15,” she said. “I’ve been using Aveeno since I was a teenager.” She also shared that her skin standbys include a daily glass of celery juice, superfood supplements, and a 24-karat-gold sculpting bar made by the makeup artist Jillian Dempsey. “It feels so damn good to put oil on your face and just roll.”

Jennifer Aniston Swears By This Gold Face-Sculpting Tool


Jennifer Aniston is pretty much the epitome of California cool. From her staple golden highlights to that fresh, glowing skin—she’s basically been beauty goals since we were first introduced to her back in the ’90s. So when she decides to reveal one of her secret skin care weapons, we pay attention.

In a new interview with InStyle, Aniston says that she’s a huge fan of Jillian Dempsey’s Gold Sculpting Bar, a skin care tool that helps serums and moisturizers penetrate deeper, as well as sculpt your cheekbones and jawline. “It feels so damn good to put oil on your face and just roll,” she explains.

Now, at $195, the roller is not cheap, but like Aniston, our beauty team swears by its magic. Made by celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey (whose clients include Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, and Emilia Clarke), the sculpting bar is made of 24K gold and vibrates as you rub it it across your face. Not only does it feel amazing—like a mini-massage for your face—the vibrations help relieve any tension in your face and aid with lymphatic drainage (i.e. the body system that flushes toxins out of your cells). The result is less puffiness and a more sculpted look.

Aniston says she also drinks a glass of celery juice every day (which pros have mixed thoughts about) and takes E3Live superfood supplements. But, of course, some of that glow is just her genetics: “My grandmother, at 98, had the most stunningly soft, gorgeous skin, and she would just put olive oil on her body.”

The actor also opened up about turning 50 in February. “Fifty was the first time I thought, ‘Well, that number,’ ” she said. “I don’t know what it is because I don’t feel any different. Things aren’t shutting down in any way. I feel physically incredible. So it’s weird that it’s all of a sudden getting telegraphed in a way that’s like, ‘You look amazing for your age.’ I think we need to establish some etiquette around that dialogue and verbiage.”

Aniston and her glowing skin will next be seen onscreen in Apple’s The Morning Show with Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell, where she plays a morning news host who is facing sexism and ageism. “The show gives you a behind-the-curtain peek at a lot of things—what it takes to pull off a morning show, the unique lifestyle of these anchors, the obsession with celebrity culture, and humanity in the midst of corruption,” she said. “Plus we’re addressing the ugly truths of how men have treated women in our society, particularly in the workplace, for all these years.”

Jennifer Lopez Asked Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Secret to a Happy Marriage


While it’s still TBD on when Jennifer Lopez is officially tying the knot with fiancé Alex Rodriguez, there’s no doubt we’re excited for what’s sure to be a glamorous day. Although wedding preparations might be underway (or at least ideating—J.Lo did just wrap a tour, after all), J.Lo definitely has the upcoming nuptials on her mind. How do we know? She reportedly recently asked Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for marriage advice—and you can bet The Notorious RBG knew exactly what to say.

Ginsburg told the story herself at the Library of Congress’s National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. this weekend. Apparently J.Lo called her up casually and they wound up hanging out with Ginsburg at her office.

“I was called up about a month or so ago by Jennifer Lopez, and she said she would like to meet me and introduce her fiancé Alex Rodriguez,” she said. “So they came to chambers, and we had a very nice visit. She mostly wanted to ask if I had any secret about a happy marriage. But now ARod is traveling with her to concerts all over the world…”

The interviewer at the panel discussion Ginsburg was recounting this at asked Ginsburg, “So what was your secret to a happy marriage? Did you pass on your mother-in-law’s secret?”

“Yeah, on the day I was married, my mother in law took me aside and said she wanted to tell me what was the secret of a happy marriage,” Ginsburg responded. “And I said I’d be glad to hear what is it, and she responded it helps sometimes to be a little deaf.”

I mean, not gonna knock it! And Ginsburg should know: She paved the way as a groundbreaking, hugely dedicated justice while maintaining a marriage to husband Marty Ginsburg for more than 50 years (he died in 2010).

With a dash of her dry humor, Ginsburg also added that her advice works in a few other contexts, namely “every workplace, including the good job I have now.”

As a quick refresh, A-Rod proposed back in March while the two were vacationing in the Bahamas with an absolute whopper of an emerald-cut diamond. The moment was captured perfectly on Instagram:

Since then, the two have been living it up: J.Lo recently celebrated her epic 50th birthday with an epically over-the-top party at Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s estate on Star Island in Miami, as one does.

Lopez soon reciprocated the birthday affection with a fun surprise for A-Rod, who turned 44 toward the end of July: She and his two daughters surprised him during an ESPN appearance.

Then, she pulled him onstage during her Miami concert to sing him “Happy Birthday,” complete with a massive Yankees-themed cake.

Clearly, these two are pros at making things work with their insanely busy schedules—but getting a little extra advice from The Notorious RBG, who has put in years of work both on the bench and back home with her husband? Definitely can’t hurt.

Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, and Other Celebs Sign Powerful Open Letter to Latinx Community


More than 200 Latinx celebrities, activists, and other prominent public figures—including Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, and Eva Longoria—joined forces to sign and publish an open letter to the Latinx community on Friday following ongoing ICE raids, the continuing separation of families at the U.S./Mexico border, and the recent mass shooting in El Paso.

The letter, titled “Querida Familia Latina,” or “Dear Latinx Family,” and written in both Spanish and English, was published in The New York Times, El Nuevo Herald, El Diario, and La Opinión, on Friday, August 16. According to a press release, it was authored by actresses America Ferrera, Eva Longoria, Diane Guerrero, and Olga Segura, director Alex Martinez Kondracke, and activist Mónica Ramírez. Their overall message is one of love, solidarity, and action, and they call on the public to speak up against hate, donate resources as possible to organizations that support the Latinx community, and “hold our leaders accountable.”

“If you are feeling terrified, heartbroken and defeated by the barrage of attacks on our community, you are not alone,” it begins. “We have been smeared by political rhetoric and murdered in violent hate crimes. We have been separated from our families and have watched our children caged. We have been targeted with mass shootings and mass ICE raids meant to terrify us, squash our hope, and break our spirits.”

“But, we will not be broken. We will not be silenced. We will continue to denounce any hateful and inhumane treatment of our community,” the letter continues. “We will demand dignity and justice.”

The letter addresses the Latinx community directly before calling upon its allies for support. “Though real pain and fear are sweeping through our communities, we remain powerful. The indignities and cruelty we have endured will never change the truth that the contributions we make to this country are invaluable. Our humanity must be respected. And, we won’t stop organizing for ourselves, our children, and for the soul of this nation.

“To our allies who feel our community’s pain, we need you. We cannot make change without your voices and action. We call on you to speak out loudly against hate, to contribute your resources to organizations that support our community, and to hold our leaders accountable.”

It closes with a vision for the future: “We ask you to join us in building a better country where we are all safe and valued. May we turn this time of despair into a time of action. May our love for one another be the guiding light in these dark times.”

Signatories include Rosario Dawson, Salma Hayek Pinault, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Zoe Saldana, Wilmer Valderrama, Diego Luna, Ricky Martin, as well as activists Dolores Huerta and Teresa Romero.

Brooklyn 99 star Melissa Fumero also signed.

As did Jane the Virgin‘s Gina Rodriguez.

On Friday, Ferrera also appeared on MSNBC to discuss why it’s important to come together right now, despite what can seem like a constant barrage of terrible news.

Your First Look at Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon's The Morning Show Is Here


We finally have our first glimpse of Jennifer Aniston’s long-awaited return to television. The Friends’ alum stars alongside Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carrell in the Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show. Based on CNN’s Brian Stelter’s 2013 book, Top of The Morning, in which he chronicles the rivalry between Good Morning America and The Today Show, the series has been called by Apple a “high-stakes drama that pulls back the curtain on early morning TV.” And the freshly dropped trailer proves it’s just that—with an emphasis on the drama.

While we don’t actually see any of the actors (who all star as key players on the morning TV show) in this sneak peek, we hear them argue in voiceover as the camera takes us on a tour of the studio. “Don’t you ever question my integrity in my own house again,” Aniston warns her colleagues at one point. Later, she yells, “We are doing this my way!”

At an Apple Event this spring, Aniston revealed the show would be told “through the prism of those under-slept, over-adrenalized people in front of and behind the camera.” She added, “We take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace, and we engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they’re behind closed doors.”

Witherspoon—who will be reuniting with Aniston for the first time since playing her younger sister Jill on Friends—also attended the same event, where she shared that “The Morning Show is seen through the eyes of two ambitious, aspirational female characters.”

“It’s a high-velocity thrill ride in which we pose questions without easy answers and shine a light on the fault lines in our society at this very complicated cultural moment,” Witherspoon added.

While the official premiere date for the show is unknown—it’s slated for fall 2019—Apple has already ordered a second, 10-episode season. And though little is revealed in this first trailer, it’s clear the show will be a ripped-from-the-headlines look at the dramatic, often heartbreaking news cycle Americans see every day.
