J.Lo suffers wardrobe mishap in concert: 'I don't usually wear underwear'
Jennifer Lopez seems to be feeling like herself these days, upon turning 56 and in the aftermath of her high-profile divorce from Ben Affleck — enough that she continued her recent trend of sex-forward displays in her Up All Night world tour by letting the world know that she doesn't wear underwear.
This revelation came amid a wardrobe malfunction during Lopez's show in Warsaw, Poland, Friday night, as People reported. The mega-star entertainer came on stage during a moment when her band and back-up singers and dancers got the crowd to sing Happy Birthday to her.
Lopez was wearing a glittery, gold skirt that a dancer had apparently just tied on, but it fell to the stage floor, revealing that she was wearing glittery, gold underpants, according to a video posted to her official YouTube channel.
Lopez didn't let the potentially embarrassing wardrobe mishap phase her and even found a way to use it for this show-stopping, 'surprise moment,' as she billed it on YouTube. She flashed a big smile and strutted around the stage in her self-described 'underwear,' waving her arms and pulling off a little spin.
After a dancer approached her to reattach the skirt, Lopez waved him off.
'I'm out here in my underwear,' Lopez jokingly proclaimed.
'I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear,' Lopez revealed.
Of course, the 'underwear' also could be seen as bikini bottoms, or short shorts, that are part of the costume and not designed to be that revealing. But Lopez, who played a pole dancer in the acclaimed 2019 film Hustlers , seemed to revel in the idea that she was being risque, as she tossed the skirt into the crowd and told fans to 'keep it.'
Lopez has been garnering plenty of publicity for her show, and for the suggestive things she says about her sex life and for the 'X-rated' dance moves she does with some of her male dancers, as the Daily Mail reported.
She incited the ire of pro-Trump SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly, who took to X last week to angrily share a clip from one of Lopez's recent performances. The clip showed Lopez straddling one of her dancer's shoulders with her crotch in his face.
'So she's a soft porn star now,' Kelly wrote alongside the video. 'Great choices!' – The Mercury News/Tribune News Service

Safeguarding Bajau cultural heritage for our shared future — Juanitha Annabelle Galawis
AUGUST 2 — Many indigenous traditions, be it locally or globally, are quietly fading into the background, as globalisation and digital media continue to shape our identities at lightning speed. Among those at risk are the rich musical and dance traditions of the Bajau community in Semporna, Sabah. Known for their seafaring lifestyle, colourful costumes, and graceful performances, the Bajau people have for generations used music and dance not only for celebration, but also to communicate values, history, and a shared sense of belonging. But today, their traditional art forms face serious challenges. Urban migration, lack of documentation, and the younger generation's shift towards mainstream pop culture have created a gap between elders and youth. While festivals like Regatta Lepa try to keep traditions alive, many fear these performances are becoming more staged than lived, more tourist attraction than cultural expression. This is where research plays a crucial role. Prof Dr Hanafi Hussin from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences UM, an expert in South-east Asian cultural studies, aims to document and systematise the music and dance repertoires of the Bajau community. The goal is not simply academic. It is a form of cultural preservation: recording rhythms, movements, meanings, and memories before they are lost to time. Through interviews, field recordings, and direct engagement with local practitioners, our study captures not just what the music and dance look or sound like, but how they are experienced in the everyday lives of the community. For example, the igal-igal dance, often performed at weddings and festivals, is more than entertainment; it's a symbol of elegance, pride, and continuity. Similarly, traditional percussion instruments like the gendang and kulintangan serve as cultural signposts that link the present to the past. The author says festivals like Regatta Lepa try to keep traditions alive, but many fear these performances are becoming more staged than lived, more tourist attraction than cultural expression. — Picture from Facebook/Pesta Regatta Semporna What makes this research especially important is the participatory approach. Rather than treating the Bajau as passive subjects, we work with them as active collaborators. Elders share their stories. Dancers demonstrate their techniques. Young people talk about their views on cultural identity in a modern world. By including these voices, the research becomes a dialogue, a bridge between generations and a way forward for cultural sustainability. This work also aligns with larger national and global concerns. Unesco has repeatedly highlighted the importance of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, warning that languages, oral traditions, rituals, and performing arts are among the most vulnerable cultural elements. In Malaysia, where diversity is often celebrated in rhetoric, more concrete action is needed to support community-driven initiatives like this one. Policies should fund grassroots documentation, provide platforms for indigenous voices, and make space in national education for local traditions. To the readers, especially the youth—this is a call to look closer at the traditions around you. Heritage is not just something found in museums or festivals; it is lived, felt, and passed on through practice. When a traditional dance is no longer danced, or a song no longer sung, a piece of identity fades with it. But when we choose to learn, preserve, and celebrate these expressions, we are actively shaping a more inclusive and culturally rich future. In the end, preserving Bajau music and dance is not about resisting change or clinging to the past. It's about remembering who we are, where we come from, and recognising the beauty in diversity. Culture is not static, it evolves but we must make sure it evolves with memory, not amnesia. * Juanitha Annabelle Galawis is an undergraduate student of Universiti Malaya, taking an elective university course entitled 'Introduction to Journalism and Storytelling in Digital Age', and may be contacted via [email protected] ** This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

Cafe's sea view turns out to be just printed mural
Compiled by CHARLES RAMENDRAN, TAN SIN CHOW and R. ARAVINTHAN A CAFE in China has stirred online controversy after its much-hyped 'lemon tree-themed sea view' turned out to be just a printed mural on an interior wall, China Press reported. Feeling deceived, a netizen shared her frustration on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese lifestyle platform, after travelling a long way to the cafe in Qingdao, Shandong province. The woman, who enjoys exploring different cafes and shops, said there was no real sea at the backdrop or lemon tree in sight unlike what was featured online. Her post went viral and drew a wave of sarcastic comments. A social media user said: 'Good thing you posted this – I might have gone myself.' Another likened the marketing as 'worse than scams in KK Garden in Myanmar', referring to a cybercrime and online fraud hub. > The residence of the late Cantopop diva Anita Mui has been described as 'maze-like', with some suggesting it should be converted into a museum, Sin Chew Daily reported. Many social media users commented that her home at Henredon Court, Shouson Hill Road in Hong Kong is spacious, with others even analysing its feng shui. This came after Michael Lui, a real estate agent, showcased a rare look inside the house on his YouTube channel. Mui purchased the property in 1993 under a company name for HK$20mil (about RM10.86mil) then. The duplex unit, measuring 4,075sq ft, overlooks Ocean Park and the Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station. It also offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of Shouson Hill. Mui, known as the 'Asian Madonna', died in 2003 at the age of 40 after a long battle with cervical cancer.

#SHOWBIZ: Lindsay Lohan on Dubai life: 'Very normal,' praises privacy and safety
NEW YORK CITY: Lindsay Lohan is enjoying a life away from the Hollywood spotlight, opting for a quieter existence. In a recent appearance on the talk show Live With Kelly and Mark, the 39-year-old actress shared that living in Dubai since 2014 has allowed her to lead a peaceful, private life. "It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life," Lohan said. She highlighted the sense of safety and discretion in Dubai, explaining, "There's no worry of, like, I can't go eat at this place because someone's going to take a picture of my son." Lohan, who shares two-year-old son Luai with her husband Bader Shammas, appreciates that privacy laws in Dubai prevent unsolicited photography in public places. "You can't take a picture of someone else if you're in a restaurant. You have to ask the person," she said. Meanwhile, Lohan's Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis recently spoke about their long-standing bond. The 66-year-old actress described feeling "tremendous maternal care" for Lohan when they first worked together in 2003. Speaking to The Guardian, Curtis said: "She and I have remained friends. I feel less maternal towards her now because she's a mommy herself." Though Curtis calls herself "bossy," she noted that Lohan no longer needs any guidance. "She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person," Curtis said. The two actresses are now reuniting for Freakier Friday, the sequel to their original film. Reflecting on her journey, Lohan told People: "I feel wiser now and very settled. I've become such a positive person."
