Leah Remini addresses rumors of fallout with Jennifer Lopez
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Remini shared insight into where the friendship stands today.
'Right after the divorce, we'd text each other loving messages of support,' Remini said, referring to her 2024 split from husband Angelo Pagán after 21 years of marriage. The timing mirrored Jennifer Lopez's own divorce from Ben Affleck, which was also filed in August 2024.
Rumors about a possible rift began circulating when Remini didn't attend Lopez's wedding to Affleck in 2022. However, the King of Queens star dismissed any talk of a feud. 'Sometimes you don't talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn't mean the love is lost,' she said. 'Friendships ebb and flow. That doesn't mean we're at odds.'
Remini, who famously left the Church of Scientology 12 years ago, revealed that her personal transformation has led her to retreat from the spotlight and spend more time at home.
'I cherish my friendships and not everybody is meant to be in your life in the way that they were,' she said. 'I have many friends that I don't talk to every day. That doesn't mean we're at odds — it's just that I'm at a different place and so are they.'
Despite the distance, Remini's comments indicate that her bond with Lopez remains intact, though redefined. CNN has reached out to representatives for both stars for additional comment.

YouTuber seeks protective order against Blake Lively amid ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni
A YouTuber known as Lauren Neidigh, who uses the handle LethalLauren904, has accused actress Blake Lively of harassment and intimidation in connection to Lively's ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. According to a letter obtained by Us Weekly, Neidigh has requested a protective order against Lively, citing the undue burden created by legal subpoenas issued to her and other content creators. -Youtube/The Court of Random Opinion. Neidigh claims that she, along with fellow YouTubers McKenzie Folks and Kassidy O'Connell, were unfairly targeted after expressing critical views about Lively online. She alleged that Lively's subpoena sought personal banking information without substantiating evidence and was designed to 'intimidate, harass, chill constitutionally protected free speech, and threaten the safety and privacy of non-parties.' Although Lively's legal team dropped the subpoenas earlier this week, Neidigh emphasized that Lively has not ruled out reissuing them, thus maintaining what she describes as an 'ongoing threat.' In her letter, Neidigh requested both a formal protective order and sanctions to prevent further discovery actions she deems abusive. She also criticized Lively's legal team for being 'largely unresponsive.' Lively, who has not publicly addressed the subpoena issue, has also reportedly subpoenaed other media personalities, including Perez Hilton and Candace Owens, as part of the same legal dispute. This development stems from a broader legal conflict that began in December 2024 when Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni. Baldoni denied the claims and countersued for defamation, though his suit was dismissed in June. While Lively has spoken publicly about the case, including during a May appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Baldoni has yet to grant an interview regarding the matter.

Tyson Beckford says he planned to propose to Shanina Shaik before heartbreaking split
Model and actor Tyson Beckford is opening up about the heartbreak that followed his split from Shanina Shaik, revealing he was planning to propose before their breakup. In a new Us Weekly cover story, Beckford, 54, says the 2015 split was 'a crushing blow' after nearly seven years together. 'One month before we broke up, I met the vice president of Cartier and told him I had this amazing lady I wanted to marry,' he shared, without naming Shaik directly. 'I had these great plans.' The former Victoria's Secret model and Beckford were a high-profile couple, and their breakup sparked public speculation. Beckford says he remained quiet despite public criticism. 'Nobody wanted to hear my side. I just went into work mode — work, gym, home,' he said. Beckford admitted the emotional toll took years to heal. 'I was madly in love... I never got my heart broken like that before.' It took nearly four years before he felt ready to reenter the dating scene. A turning point came when supermodel Naomi Campbell gave him advice. 'She told me, 'You are an icon. You just need to get back out there.'' Now, Beckford is hoping to find love again on Bravo's Kings Court, where he joins NBA star Carlos Boozer and WWE's Titus O'Neil in a reality dating series. Kings Court airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo and streams on Peacock.

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas spark romance rumours as 26-year age gap raises questions among fans
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have reignited speculation about their relationship after being spotted holding hands during a weekend trip. The two actors were seen attending a concert at London's Wembley Stadium before flying to Woodstock, Vermont, where they reportedly spent time together shopping, sightseeing and stopping for ice cream, according to TMZ. Cruise, 63, and de Armas, 37, have not commented publicly on the nature of their relationship, but social media users were quick to respond. While some praised Cruise's ongoing star appeal, others raised concerns about the 26-year age difference and Cruise's long-standing affiliation with the Church of Scientology. Several fans expressed curiosity about whether de Armas shares Cruise's religious views. Comments on social media speculated about the implications of the actor's ties to Scientology, particularly in relation to romantic partnerships. 'Hope she's a Scientologist because if not, she'll lose her future children when he's done with her,' one user wrote. Scientology doctrine allows members to marry outside the religion as long as the partner is not considered a 'Suppressive Person,' a term used for individuals who openly criticise the faith. De Armas has not made any public statements regarding her stance on the religion. The renewed attention comes as Cruise continues to make headlines for his ongoing roles in major film franchises. De Armas, who is currently starring in the action thriller Ballerina, a John Wick spinoff, has also gained acclaim for her work in recent years. Neither Cruise nor de Armas has confirmed their relationship status, but the pair's public appearances and online reactions suggest the speculation is likely to continue.
