Jennifer Lopez Feels ‘Wiser' and ‘Bulletproof' at Spain Concert Following Ben Affleck Divorce
Jennifer Lopez alluded to growing past the 'scars' of a difficult relationship and becoming a 'better' version of herself in a new song she belted out to fans at a recent show in Spain. Mid-way through the show, 55, told the crowd that the lyrics 'came to me when I was up all night one night,' in a video shared to Instagram on Tuesday, July 8 – but she didn't clarify who inspired them. 'Thank you for the scars you left on my heart… showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark,' she sang. 'I won't fall apart because of who we are, but your broken parts.' Later in the song, she said she feels 'stronger, wiser, better than I've ever been' and 'bulletproof' as she continues to climb out of the 'wreckage' of the unnamed relationship. The debut of powerful song comes six months after her divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck was finalized in January — and only two weeks before her 56th birthday. While Lopez's Up All Night: Live Tour kicked off on July 8 in Pontevedra, Spain, and will include a total of 21 shows before it ends on August 10 in Kazakhstan, according to a source, she's making sure she still has time to get her party on for her birthday on July 24. As Star previously reported, Lopez was going 'through the motions' and 'crying for a lot' of her 55th birthday last year – which came roughly three months after her separation from The Accountant 2 actor, 52, in April 2024 – but this year, she's ready to go all out! 'She's going to fly out some of her close friends so that she's not alone,' a source revealed earlier this month. 'They'll all get the A-list treatment right alongside her.' As for her plans for her special day, the source said it was a 'toss up' between 'renting out a huge yacht' and going cruising or getting a 'five-star villa' where she can 'lounge and get spa treatments' with her friends before throwing a big birthday bash and really letting loose as she celebrates another year around the sun. 'She's in a way better place and is actually in the mood to party,' added the source. 'She's finally ready to put herself first again and she plans to go big, blow off steam and celebrate like the true superstar she is.' Solve the daily Crossword

Kylie Jenner photo reveals ‘painful' secret
Kylie Jenner fans have shared their shock after spotting scars from the reality star's boob job. The 27-year-old, known for her incredible hourglass figure, has openly admitted that she has had breast augmentations in the past, getting her first surgery when she was just 19 years old. In new photos, Kylie – who is dating actor Timothée Chalamet – was seen hitting the beach in St Tropez with sister Kendall in a white bikini and sarong, wading through the water as she walked in the sand. But as she looked out to sea, one telltale photo revealed she has surgery scars underneath her bust. One fan shared the picture on Reddit, with the blunt caption: 'Owww / ewwww that scar! Why would you do that to yourself' However, while the cruel title was mostly ignored by fellow Redditors, speculation soon grew over what she had done, and why fans hadn't seen the scars before. One wrote: 'I used to wonder how she didn't have any scars on her social media because she clearly had a boob job early on. Than I realised, duh, they're edited' Others believed that the red scarring is from a newer surgery, and as a result hasn't healed yet. 'I actually don't think this is from putting in the implants. It looks too long. It might be a mastopexy (breast lift) scar,' said one. 'As someone who has had their breasts done, my scar is TINY and way less noticeable than this. This looks fresh,' noted another. While a third said: 'The scar sucks for sure, but I think a lot of us would have some sort of augmentation if we could afford to. Not as extreme as Kylie, but I'd definitely tweak a few things.' The new photos come after Kylie admitted regretting getting her first boob job when she was so young – and encouraged others to avoid it. Speaking on The Kardashians reality show back in 2024, Kylie said: 'I had beautiful breasts. Just gorgeous. 'Perfect size, perfect everything, and I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.' The star teared up as she said: 'I wish I never got them done to begin with. I recommend anyone thinking about it to wait [until] after children.' However, the star has learned to be open about the work she has had done in the past, even taking to TikTok this June to respond to a fan who asked her for more information on the type of surgery she had. Taking the question like a champ, Kylie responded: '445cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.'

Kylie Jenner fans stunned as she showcases 'nasty looking' plastic surgery scar from boob job in unedited snap
Kylie Jenner has left fans grimacing after accidentally exposing a 'painful looking' plastic surgery scar in new photos. The 27-year-old mom-of-two's tender markings were on full display as she was photographed by the paparazzi while frolicking in the sea during a luxurious getaway with friends and family in Saint-Tropez, France. Along with sister Kendall Jenner, Kylie was seen enjoying the refreshing water in a white cut out one piece swimsuit, from Isabel Marrant, and a white skirt. Eagle-eyed social media users were quick to notice the scarring, which could be seen beneath her underboob, and pointed out the findings in a post shared on Reddit. 'I used to wonder how she didn't have any scars on her social media because she clearly had a boob job early on,' one wrote. 'Then I realized, duh, they're edited.' Another observed: 'That's a nasty looking scar. I can't imagine doing all that and continually messing with it.' 'It disturbs me how she got implants too big for her and has so much money and yet can't get a probably fitting bra top,' a third added. 'She has more than enough money to get a bikini where the wire actually sits, but then she couldn't show off her underboob, huh.' A fourth continued: 'Damn those scars are rough ngl. I'm grateful that when I got my boob job done, my scars are basically invisible.' 'Clearly, she spent hella money but did not research her surgeon or look at their portfolio,' said another. Last month, Kylie spilled the secrets to her ample assets while responding to a TikTok user: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone! [Dr.] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!' She previously opened up about going under the knife to have her boobs done in a 2023 episode of The Kardashians. At the time, she explained that she went under the knife before welcoming her first child, Stormi, who is now seven - after years of crediting her bust to padded bras, her period or weight gain. In the season three finale of the Hulu reality show, mom-of-two Kylie spoke candidly with her best friend, Anastasia 'Stassie' Karanikolaou, about her cosmetic procedure and voiced regret over her decision. 'I got my breasts done before Stormi,' she said. 'Within six months of having Stormi – not thinking I would have a child when I was 20 – they were still healing. In the season three finale of the Hulu reality show, mom-of-two Kylie spoke candidly with her best friend about her cosmetic procedure and voiced regret over her decision She added: 'I had beautiful breasts, like natural t**s, just gorgeous, like perfect size, perfect everything, and I just wished, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.' 'I would recommend anyone who was thinking about it to wait until after you have children,' she continued, before revealing how her views on plastic surgery have changed now that she's a mother. 'But yeah, obviously I have a daughter too. 'I would be heartbroken if she wanted to get her body done at 19,' Kylie admitted. Kylie is also mom to three-year-old son, Aire, whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Travis Scott.

I interviewed Love Island's Sophie Lee weeks after her ‘face fell off' – she's overcome ‘constant' pain & a month in ICU
LOVE Islanders are notorious for scrubbing their social media in the days leading up to the Villa, leaving only the most polished snaps up on their feeds. But open Sophie Lee 's page even today and the photos pinned to the top, from 2019 and 2020, show her with huge swollen scars protruding from her face. 10 10 Personally I'm not surprised. As someone who interviewed Sophie twice right in the thick of her struggles, I know she's different from some of the ultra-superficial women who grace our screens in their bikinis. When I first spoke to Manchester-based Sophie, she was 23, and it was days before Christmas 2018. Fabulous was one of the first publications to share her story with the world. Airy and bright during our chat, you'd have no idea what she was going through without visual proof. Her attitude was amazing, especially for someone so young. A professional fire dancer, Sophie was permanently scarred when an air-con unit blew flames back into her face in a freak accident in April 2018. After her face went up in flames, she spent a month in intensive care, and emerged from the trauma with a whole new attitude on life. In her own words, the accident made Sophie 'toughen up and grow a thicker skin'. She told me: 'I just have to accept myself for me. I think sometimes people stare because they don't know how to ask. It's not intentionally rude, I think they're just curious and don't know what to say. "I never mind if people ask about my scars, then I can educate more people about what happened.' Love Island weight loss plans, makeovers and even non-surgical tweakments are now common-place among the contestants, all religiously documented on social media as the competitive TV show enters its 10th year. All Stars' Gabby Allen even flogged her pre-villa fitness plan when she emerged as the show's most recent winner. Sophie, who had a five-figure following as an influencer well before Love Island came knocking, wasn't immune to body confidence concerns before her accident. She told me: 'In school I went through that phase of 'oh, I'm massive, I'm this and that,' because I think you naturally do when you're that age. 'Everyone's judging each other, you're growing boobs, you're like 'oh, I don't know what this is'. I think everyone kind of has body issues going through high school. 'All my friends had big boobs or had legs, and I've always been a bit up and down on the scale of my weight. 'Especially with the industry I was in (of dance and performing), I was always scrutinised for how you look. "But with this accident it's crazy. Because the one time I feel like I should be most body conscious, I'm probably the happiest I've ever been." 10 Despite early signs her facial scars were healing well, Sophie later developed dramatic keloids on her chin. Keloids are benign tumours which grow in areas of trauma and are more common in people with olive or black skin, or in Sophie's case having Chinese heritage. She said: "Dancing's all about getting dressed up, glitz and glam, I've always loved that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not myself and I know I'll never be myself again. "That's something I have to accept and it has been hard to accept that - but also without this scar I would be dead. That's the way I look at it, I don't look at it as a burden.' We spoke for a second time in June 2019, just weeks after Sophie had ground-breaking cryo surgery. Never one to shy away from the gruesome details, or hide behind edited pics, Sophie's PR pitched the story to me with an email entitled 'My face came off in my hands.' Explaining the NHS-funded op at the time, Sophie said: "The scar started to die and then my face basically fell off. Liquid nitrogen was pumped in to kill it. "At first it went massive, like it had been pumped up with water. It tripled in size, it was horrendous. 'In hospital I just felt like a giant slug, I couldn't move or do anything. "Then it just started leaking liquid nitrogen. Over the space of two months, it was starting to dry out and peel away. "It was horrendous, the skin was dying and it was on my face. I couldn't really move my neck, it was just so painful. The scar started to die and then my face basically fell off. At first it went massive, like it had been pumped up with water. It tripled in size, it was horrendous Sophie Lee "When it actually detached I couldn't feel anything, because it had already died. "But at the start it was really raw, fresh skin. Showering was unbearable. "For a good month I couldn't really do anything. I had to change the dressings at least twice a day - they were soaking wet all the time. "I couldn't leave the house because I had to take so many dressings and pads with me." 10 She now keeps her dead skin in the freezer, in a small Tupperware box, explaining it's "next to the peas, no big deal". Sophie, who's been celibate for eight months, had the treatment in March 2019, as her tumours threatened to engulf her face. She told me: "Keloid scarring is a form of benign tumour, it was going to carry on growing and slowly overtake my face. "It was very painful and becoming a big burden. I had started to lose movement on my neck, because it was growing so rapidly. "The scars got so big you couldn't see my neck, it came down to my chin. "Because of my ethnicity, being Chinese, it was really angry and violent. "The longer I left it, the bigger the keloids would have gotten. I was in so much pain and it was starting to alter my expressions on my face." Sophie always wanted to turn what had happened to her into a positive, raising awareness of injuries even in her early 20s. She said: 'I've got a younger sister who's 16 years old, that was the age when I was comparing myself a lot. 'And I just want her to know that, your big sister can still do it and represent girls, I want her to feel proud of me. 'She looks up to a lot of my friends, looks up to me and I want to be that good example for her. 'It's important to mould the next generation, not the current generation. I want to put them in a good mindset.' Despite Sophie's sunny disposition, she was clearly hugely affected by what had happened to her, which may be why it's taken her six years to say yes to Love Island (I'd be stunned if they hadn't approached her for previous years). She told me in 2019: "I try not to think negatively, but I am in pain and you do think 'when is this going to be over?' I'm constantly suffering. "Even now I can't go outside when it's sunny without having to cover up my whole face, because it's fresh skin and I'll get burnt really fast. 'I wear a black mask to protect it. It's healed underneath but just to be safe. "I don't want to risk getting burnt, it's not worth it. I'm still healing. "But I am in the best hands and it's important to talk about the good and the bad, because that means I can help others in this situation. "I'm a normal person, I have feelings, I'm not just living this amazing life. I do have my down days, and it's OK to feel like that." As Sophie jets off to sunny Mallorca to enter the villa on Monday, where temperatures are reaching 32C, the lack of black mask will be a stark reminder of how far she has come.
