Is Jennifer Lopez's New Song About Ex-Husband Ben Affleck? Singer Unveils Wreckage of You at Private Party
Jennifer Lopez recently gave fans a surprise during an intimate listening party in Los Angeles. On Wednesday, July 2, Lopez shared six songs with her 30 lucky fans, including her new pop ballad Wreckage of You. Many listeners believe the song's lyrics are inspired by her split from Ben Affleck. According to PEOPLE, the event was private and gave Lopez a chance to connect with her fans. Edgardo Luis Rivera, one of the fans at the show, told US Weekly that Lopez said she cowrote and recorded Wreckage of You just two weeks ago. She told the crowd she came up with the idea while lying in bed after a day of tour rehearsals. A song about healing after divorce Jennifer Lopez shared that last year was especially tough for her, both personally and professionally. She filed for divorce from Ben Affleck last August on what would have been their second wedding anniversary. Lopez also had to cancel her tour and said she needed time to focus on herself. Rivera shared that Lopez described Wreckage of You as a song about coming out stronger after facing something painful. He said, ''Wreckage of You' is a pop ballad that she told us she cowrote and recorded two weeks ago. She said the idea came to her when she was lying in bed after a long day.' Here's what Jennifer Lopez said about her breakup Since her breakup with Affleck, Lopez has opened up about how much it affected her. She recently told Interview magazine's Nikki Glaser that the split almost broke her completely. 'I was thinking about this time in my life, and I'm like, 'That's not what I thought it was going to turn out like,'' Lopez said. 'And then I thought, 'No, this is exactly where I needed to be, to lead me to where I want to go.' That doesn't mean it didn't almost take me out for good. It almost did.' She added, 'But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, 'Fuck, that is exactly what I needed. Thank you, God. I'm sorry it took me so long. I'm sorry that you had to do this to me so many times. I should have learned it two or three times ago. I get it. You had to hit me really hard over the head with a fucking sledgehammer. You dropped the house on me. Don't have to do it again.'' At the LA listening party, Lopez also sang some of her older songs, including Up All Night, Regular, Free, Save Me Tonight, and Birthday. However, Wreckage of You stood out for its raw emotion and relatable lyrics.

The undeniable joy and comfort of rewatching a show: Why we hit repeat
There's a particular kind of magic at the moment the Netflix cursor hovers over The Office for the seventh, or seventeenth, time. You already know Michael's going to declare bankruptcy (loudly and wrongly), Jim will shoot a deadpan glance at the camera after every absurd moment, and Pam will eventually cry in a hallway. But still, you're back — again. For many, rewatching shows has become a default setting. When sleep doesn't knock on your door, or it's the third cleaning spree of the week, 'FRIENDS' running softly in the background just feels right. These shows may start as background noise, but they quickly become something more: companions, routines, or even emotional support TV. For a lot of people, watching something familiar on a loop is less about pure entertainment and more about comfort, nostalgia and safety. Whether it's Alexis's 'Eww David' (Schitt's Creek) playing while you fold laundry, or Gloria's Colombian accent (Modern Family), these rewatches often feel like tiny lighthouses, gently showing us the way ahead. Rewatching isn't just a quirky habit; it's a full-blown cultural pattern. Year after year, familiar shows rack up millions of views. In the second half of 2024 alone, just the first seasons of FRIENDS and The Big Bang Theory racked up 4.2 million views. The first season of The Office had 3.8 million views, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine's had 10.8 million. In a world saturated with new content, the big question is, why are many of us re-watching the same shows over and over again? Comfort of familiarity In a TEDx Talk, Dr Michael T Smith, an American professor of English and Communication, explains that humans are naturally drawn to patterns and familiarity. The repeated faces, the same intro music, the predictability of story arcs, all of it becomes a source of comfort. Our brains are wired to find safety in patterns, much like how we turn to our favourite comfort food or replay the same songs on a loop. In fact, these shows can make us feel less alone. There's a term for it — parasocial relationships, where people form one-sided emotional bonds with Internet personalities, celebrities and even fictional characters. Aarti N Shah, a Mumbai-based psychologist, explains that individuals dealing with mental health challenges like anxiety, which often brings isolation and procrastination along with it, tend to return to their comfort shows. These rewatches can serve as a kind of emotional shelter, subtly replacing the need to socialise, which can feel overwhelming or draining. Since the viewer already knows what's going to happen next, there's no risk of being emotionally blindsided. Shah also notes that for people living with conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, rewatching familiar shows can be especially rewarding. While they might forget day-to-day details or struggle with memory lapses, the face of a familiar character, the intro song of a beloved show, or a well-known plotline can help them feel connected. She adds that rewatching shows and movies can trigger the release of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that makes us feel rewarded. An antidote to a world of choices Rewatching a show can also save you from decision fatigue. With a hundred tiny decisions to make every single day, what to wear or what to cook, sometimes picking what to watch just feels like another exhausting choice. Because let's be honest, opening Netflix can be overwhelming. Trailers autoplay, suggestions pile up, and the 'Add to My List' section becomes a graveyard of well-intentioned promises. With so much to pick from, the idea of committing to something new can feel like a gamble. What if it's disappointing? What if the ending ruins the whole experience? Is it just me, or am I not good enough to enjoy the show everyone's obsessed with? The sheer volume of options can also lead to anxiety. Every new choice comes with an opportunity cost. If one thing is picked, it means missing out on another, and that can feel like a loss. But there's no such risk or pressure with rewatching. You can simply tune out and 'enjoy'. It's the opposite of that gamble. One of the underrated joys of rewatching is the freedom it gives. You don't have to start from episode one or follow the storyline. You can skip the sad parts and jump straight to your favourite scenes. If Ross and Rachael's 'we were on a break' episode breaks your heart, there's absolutely no need to watch it. You can simply skip and move ahead, probably to a scene where Joey shouts, 'Joey doesn't share food!!'. You don't have to be as hyper-focused as you would while watching something new, trying not to miss an important scene or subtle detail. What's even more interesting is how revisiting an old show can reflect how much we have changed. Sometimes, the same lines hit differently. What once seemed funny may now feel problematic. A moment once skipped might suddenly resonate. So while the world urges us to consume the next big thing, let's find comfort in sticking to the basics. It only makes us human, choosing the familiar, the reruns, the comfort zone. Karishma Ayaldasani is a Senior Sub Editor at The Indian Express.

'Thatd be fun': Kyle MacLachlan on potential reprise of his character in Desperate Housewives reboot
Washington DC [US], July 7 (ANI): Actor Kyle MacLachlan expressed his interest in reprising his role of Orson Hodge from the American comedy series 'Desperate Housewives', reported People. The actor, 66, spoke exclusively to People about possibly reprising his Desperate Housewives role as Orson Hodge. A reimagined version of the hit series -- which ran on ABC from 2004 to 2012 -- is currently in the works, as per the outlet. "That'd be fun. I mean, Wisteria Lane still exists on the Universal back lot. It's part of the tour!" said Kyle. The actor clarified that he would consider the role as if it were a brand-new opportunity. "If for Desperate Housewives, if that were to come back, and if they would even want me to come back -- I'd have to look at the role and kind of get a sense of what they're thinking about for the character," he explained as quoted by People. He adds, "So I would approach it like if it were something completely new and weigh how I feel about the role, and the character, and the process and everything, you know? I would treat it like it were, you know, something else [new] that had come to me and make my judgment on that," as quoted by People. 'The Sex and the City' actor shared that he went through a similar process when deciding to reprise his role as Special Agent Dale Cooper in the cult-favorite 'Twin Peaks', which initially ran from 1990 to 1991 and aired a third season in 2017. "The thing about returning to Twin Peaks was that [creator] David [Lynch] decided to not really pick it up from where we left off and to create a completely different journey for the character," he says, adding, "And I got to do a couple [of] different characters in the reboot," as quoted by People. 'Desperate Housewives' aired for eight seasons on ABC from October 3, 2004, until May 13, 2012, for a total of 180 episodes. The series starred Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria in the lead roles. (ANI)
