Jennifer Lopez hasn’t released an album in almost ten years, but she’s getting ready to deliver her most personal work to date. 

The 53-year-old singer talked candidly in her December cover story for Vogue, which was released on November 8, 2022, and dubbed “the most honest work she has ever done,” about her untitled ninth album.

Regarding the upcoming album, Lopez described it as “kind of a culmination of who I am as a person and an artist.”

She continued by saying people believe they know what happened to her along the road and the guys she was with, but they are often so mistaken and remarked that she had a part of herself that she was concealing from everyone.

The ‘On the Floor’ singer noted, “When I make my best music, or my best art is when I’m happy and full and feel lots of love.”

If you search for the Hustlers star on her Instagram, you won’t be able to find a single post on her account, and she even altered her profile image to a black circle.

Even though her Instagram account claims to have 88 posts, the singer has made her account where people can’t see her posts, leaving followers to wonder what the artist is up to.

The owner of JLo Beauty, Lopez, has not revealed the cause of the blackout. Some fans believe this social media reset foretells a significant event, such as the release of a new album.

Her profile pictures have been changed to black backgrounds on Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook, with her name written in lowercase cursive.

Since her cursive signature on Facebook resembles how her name was written on the cover of her 2002 album, This Is Me… Then, many fans are speculating that it may be a hidden hint about what’s to come.

Fans questioned whether a sequel to that record, which marks its 20th anniversary on November 25, may be in the works and believe that the new record might be about her husband, Ben Affleck.

Although there is no official release date yet, Vogue stated that Lopez’s new album is “on its way,” and many believe that November 25 would be the day since This Is Me… Then was made available on November 25, 2002.

Even though the singer’s upcoming album’s name hasn’t been released, Vogue’s statement that it can’t yet be revealed suggests that it already has a name.

“This is me….now! I bet this is what is coming!!!” one fan commented on Lopez’s Facebook page.

Another comment read, “New era: This is me…now #jloiscoming.”

Her album This Is Me… Then was created with Affleck in mind. Their romance received much media attention, and the duo was known as “Bennifer” in tabloids, which Vanity Fair referred to as “the first of that sort of tabloid branding.” 

They were engaged in November 2002, but because of “extreme media attention,” their September 14, 2003 wedding was postponed with four days’ notice. In January 2004, they called their engagement off.

Years later, Lopez cited Affleck’s dislike of the spotlight as contributing to their breakup and referred to it as her “first genuine heartbreak.”

As of July 2021, the Selena actress has publicly confirmed their revived romance, rumored to have started in April 2021. They remained in touch for years after their breakup and frequently praised one another in the media.

Since getting back together, Affleck and Lopez have praised the gift of a second chance. And after 20 years since the original proposal, she announced their second engagement on April 8, 2022. The couple got hitched on July 16, 2022, in Las Vegas.

It would only be appropriate if Lopez is preparing a follow-up to her 2002 album, given what else has recently gone full circle for the singer, particularly her connection with Affleck, with whom she rekindled their romance just a few months back.

Other celebrities have gone black from social media just before significant album announcements.

Beyoncé provoked a fan uproar earlier this year when she deleted her social media profile and banner images just before announcing the release of her new album, Renaissance.

Just before the release of her 2017 album, Reputation, Taylor Swift also removed all of her social media posts.

Colleen Ballinger Claims She Lost Broadway Role amid Grooming Accusations

Colleen Ballinger has been facing backlash, and multiple companies have ended ties with her since she was accused of grooming young viewers.

The YouTuber has since been sharing her “dark times” following the accusations. Now, the YouTuber has opened up about how she lost out on a Broadway audition last year over her grooming allegations.

On Thursday, January 11, 2024, Ballinger uploaded a new vlog on her YouTube channel titled ‘My Big Audition!’ In the new video, she went into the details of losing out on a big Broadway opportunity.

She mentioned that the auditions didn’t work out and was sad about it. She also said that she lost the Broadway opportunity right after she was accused of grooming, an accusation which she claimed was made up.

She stated, “It didn’t work out and I was really sad about that. I’m not going to get super into it but obviously, a lot happened last year, a lot was said last year. I lost that opportunity right after a story came out about me that was just completely made up and it is what it is.”

“We’re moving forward. I already got to do a Broadway show, and I’m so grateful for that. What a cool, wonderful, and beautiful experience that was for me,” Ballinger added. She said she was grateful for that opportunity as it was her ultimate dream to be on Broadway.

Her statement read, “I’m so grateful that I ever got to do it because my ultimate dream, if you know me at all since I was a little girl, was to be on Broadway.” She further reflected on the opportunity and admitted that she was “excited to see that dream come true again.”

But Ballinger then reconciled with the fact that the “dream has already come true.” As she continued, she said she finally understood why her viewers wanted an update, as she had conveyed so much of the audition process in her videos throughout 2023.

She stated, “I shared that audition process with you, so I understand why everyone is so curious to know what happened, but I’m not going to sit here and have a pity party about it. I definitely already had a pity party about that one, believe me, and now I’m just trying to look at everything with a different lens.”

Ballinger’s grooming accusations first surfaced in 2020 when Adam McIntyre, a former fan and YouTuber, spoke up against her. He accused her of grooming him and claimed that her behavior towards her fans wasn’t good.

However, nobody believed McIntyre then, and many of Ballinger’s fans defended her and accused McIntyre of lying. This led to the topic being faded and forgotten until McIntyre uploaded another video about Ballinger on June 4, 2023.

In the video, which was over an hour long, he opened up about his relationship with Ballinger and how he felt she was using him and other fans as per her needs. Likewise, in another video, he mentioned being a part of a group chat with Ballinger and other fans.

McIntyre claimed that when all of this was happening, Ballinger was already in her 30s, whereas most of the fans in the group chat were between 14 and 16. But the age didn’t stop Ballinger from commenting on their looks, encouraging bullying, and asking inappropriate questions.

“This woman groomed me,” McIntyre mentioned. Additionally, McIntyre showed multiple screenshots of his time in the group chats. Some of the pictures showed Ballinger asking very inappropriate questions.

As McIntyre went on, he claimed that Ballinger, also known as Miranda Sings, used love-bombing to make him feel special and praised and encouraged him to run her social media handles without pay. All this ultimately ended their friendship.

McIntyre later realized that Ballinger had been grooming him and decided to stand up and talk about his experience. Since he spoke against her, other fans in the group chat have also opened up about their experiences of being groomed or used by Ballinger.

In addition to Ballinger, fans have accused the YouTuber’s sister, Rachel, and her best friend, Kory DeSoto, of grooming. All three have received major backlash since the grooming scandal came to light, and many sponsors have ended their contracts.

Bruno Mars’ Relationship with Girlfriend Jessica Caban Reportedly in Shambles

It looks like the end is near for Bruno Mars’ long-time relationship with his girlfriend, Jessica Caban.

As per reports, the American singer-songwriter and his girlfriend’s relationship might end up in a break up, considering the two are reportedly living apart as of this moment.

On Wednesday, January 10, 2024, an inside source close to the couple told The Sun that Mars and Caban weren’t together to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The source also stressed that Mars’ busy touring schedule has kept them apart.

The source, a friend of the love birds, stated, “Bruno and Jessica barely spend time together anymore — it is really sad. They are living separate lives, so it doesn’t bode well for their relationship. It feels like things are fizzling out between them.”

“They have so much history together, but we aren’t sure whether they will be able to save things this time. It would be hard for them to say goodbye, but perhaps it’s for the best at this point,” the source added.

The Sun also mentioned that Mars’ reluctance to take his relationship with his girlfriend of 13 years to another level, aka share the wedding vows, has added more pressure on their relationship.

DeuxMoi had also hinted at the duo’s alleged forthcoming split a couple of weeks ago. An anonymous tipster had told the popular Instagram gossip account, in one of their Q&A sessions, that Mars and Caban’s relationship was fizzling out.

They wrote, “Bruno Mars (ex) girlfriend not wearing any engagement ring? Could it be they split!???” To this info, DeuxMoi replied, “OMG we just talked about this on this week’s podcast episode. We could have used this info.”

The engagement in question refers to a previous report by DeuxMoi, where a source claimed that Mars and Caban had gotten engaged. The claim was agreed upon by Caban’s friend, who mentioned that Caban had been donning an engagement ring for a while.

Returning to the topic, on DeuxMoi’s Q&A session on January 10, 2024, another tipster mentioned the same thing reported by The Sun. The tipster wrote, “Bruno Mars and Jessica spent Christmas and New Year apart! Getting more obvious they split.”

As of this writing, neither Mars nor Caban has responded to the claims of their relationship fizzling out. The singer’s reps have also not made a comment. That said, Mars often likes to keep the details of his dating life away from the media.

Coming over to Mars’ relationship with his girlfriend, they first met in 2010 at a restaurant in New York. At the time, there were reports of them dating, officially confirmed via Caban’s tweet on October 7, 2012, when she shared a picture of herself and Mars.

Since then, the two have always been together, being each other’s support system. However, they did all this and more while keeping their togetherness out of the eye of the media and public.

Nonetheless, Mars occasionally mentioned Caban in his acceptance speeches and talked about their relationship in some of his interviews. For instance, when he won the Best Pop Vocal Album award in 2014, he said, “Jessica, I love you” onstage.

Years later, when he won the Record of the Year award in 2018, he went onstage and gushed about his life partner. He said, “My lady, Jessica, I love you, baby. Thank you for being my rock and being on my side throughout this whole process.”

Likewise, during his 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, he was asked if he would propose to Caban sometime soon. He replied that she was his best friend and they were “just happy.” His full answer read, “She’s my best friend. My rock. What’s wrong with that? We’re just happy.”

As years passed, things seemed blissful between the love birds, with one rumor claiming they were expanding their family. But these pregnancy rumors were never confirmed. And since Mars and Caban aren’t parents yet, it can be regarded as false.

Fast forward to 2024, Mars and Caban’s relationship is now in question. As mentioned earlier, reports claim they are living a separate life, hinting there might be a possible break up. For now, fans have to wait and see what happens next!
