Affleck, 53, also spoke to the press about the film. Lopez looked drop-dead gorgeous in a silver structured outfit from Harris Reed's spring 2026 collection. Lopez thanks ex-husband Ahead of the screening, Lopez introduced the film and thanked her ex-husband, saying, “Thank you so much, thank you everybody for being here tonight. Thank you, Ben, this movie wouldn’t have been made without Ben and without Artist Equity.” “I read the script, if you know, I was in bed and I was just floored," she continued. "I was just like could this be happening right now. I get to sing, I get to dance, I get to act. I get to be an old-time Hollywood movie star." Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck's divorce The reunion on Monday night was the first for the actor, who divorced earlier this year. The two met in 2002 and began dating. They got engaged the following year, only to break up in 2004. Both JLo and Affleck pursued other relationships later and started families of their own. However, in 2021, they rekindled their romance and married in Las Vegas in July 2022. In 2024, they split, citing irreconcilable differences. They settled their divorce in February 2025. The couple have been supportive of each other’s kids and even appeared together at some private events for their children, but Monday’s appearance together on the red carpet was a first since their divorce. Lopez had earlier opened up about Affleck’s involvement in the musical production and stated, “If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have gotten made," adding, “And I will always give him that credit." While appearing on TODAY show, Lopez also said in reference to their divorce, "Things happen, you have to keep going." While appearing on CBS News Sunday Morning, Lopez also opened up about what it was like to film the musical amid her personal heartbreak. "It was a really tough time,” she admitted. “Every moment on set, every moment I was doing this role, I was so happy, and then it was like, back home, it was not great. And it was just like, oh, you know, 'How do I reconcile this?' " The new Kiss of the Spider Woman premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It reimagines the stage musical from Kander, Ebb and Terrence McNally that first starred Chita Rivera on Broadway in 1993. It also draws inspiration from the 1985 film starring William Hurt, Raúl Julia and Sônia Braga; all are adapted from Argentine writer Manuel Puig's 1976 novel. The film was written and directed by Bill Condon (Chicago). The film also stars Diego Luna and Tonatiuh. Kiss of the Spider Woman will be released in US theatres on October 10.

<p>Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may have finalised their divorce earlier in February 2025 but they continue to support each other professionally. The former couple reunited on the red carpet on Monday night at the Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere.&nbsp;</p>

Taylor Swift on Friday quickly set a streaming record with "The Life of a Showgirl," her new album of bouncy pop songs about love, sex, success -- and score-settling -- that had fans analyzing every word. Critical opinion of "Showgirl" ranged from glowing to unimpressed, but fans flocked to Spotify to hear the 12 tracks, making it the most streamed album in one day in 2025 in less than 11 hours, the platform said. Swift reunited with Swedish hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback for her 12th studio album, and their influence is clear in the driving beats and catchy hooks. "I can't tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right," the 35-year-old artist posted on Instagram. While the album still features plenty of introspection, it reveals a lighter, joyful Swift -- in love with her NFL Super Bowl champion fiance Travis Kelce, happy to have bought back her music catalog and proud of her record-shattering Eras Tour. "I just want you, have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you... Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop," she sings on the dreamy "Wish List." On "Opalite," which Kelce has said is his favorite track, she says, "You were dancing through the lightning strikes / Sleepless in the onyx night / But now the sky is opalite." "I used to have this dark fear that if I ever were truly, like, happy and...nurtured by a relationship -- what happens if the writing just dries up?" Swift told BBC Radio 1. "And it turns out that's not the case at all." Elated fans worldwide snapped up tickets to special "release party" screenings in movie theaters -- including the premiere of the video for lead single "The Fate of Ophelia." In Melbourne, Swifties -- many dressed in orange, the artist's signature color for the album -- were among the first to dance and sing to "Showgirl." "I love the album," Kerry Brookes, a 54-year-old British IT manager attending a screening in the suburbs of Washington, told AFP. "I'm just interested to see what she has to say about it," said Brookes, who was wearing a showgirl headpiece and a feather boa. - 'Only as hot as your last hit' - "Showgirl" represents a shift from the folksy pandemic-era "Folklore" and "Evermore" in 2020, the pensive "Midnights" in 2022 and the introspective "Tortured Poets" last year. Swift said ahead of the release that the new album "comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life." Some of that drama comes through on "Elizabeth Taylor," on which she sings: "You're only as hot as your last hit, baby." Then she goes for the jugular on "Father Figure," a reinvention of late pop crooner George Michael's hit of the same name in which she skewers power dynamics in the music business. She could be singling out Big Machine Records founder Scott Borchetta, who discovered Swift when she was a teen, and Scooter Braun, who bought the label and took control of the master recordings of her first six albums. "You want a fight, you found it / I've got the place surrounded / You'll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you're drowning," she sings. Fans are also musing that "Actually Romantic" is a diss track referring to a rumored feud with pop singer Charli XCX. "Showgirl" is available on streaming platforms. Special editions are for sale at retail giant Target, including the "Portofino orange glitter vinyl" or the "summertime spritz pink shimmer vinyl." Aside from the "Ophelia" video, the weekend screenings feature behind-the-scenes footage and lyric videos. The one-off cinematic event is estimated to gross $30-50 million, according to film industry website Deadline. "And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe," Swift sings in the title track featuring pop princess Sabrina Carpenter, who opened for her at some Eras Tour stops. "Wouldn't have it any other way."

Subramanian, the first South Asian appointed to Manhattan’s federal bench, said that a substantial sentence was required “to send a message to abusers and victims alike that exploitation and violence against women is met with real accountability,” NY Times. Arun had always demonstrated his strong demeanour in the court case, but he never hesitated to address any wrongdoing. In June, he confronted Combs regarding his questionable actions during his sex trafficking trial. In response, the music mogul threatened to kick him out of the courtroom. Who is Arun Subramanian? Born in Pittsburgh in 1979 into a Tamil family, his parents migrated to America in the 1970s. Arun scripted history when he was appointed as the first South Asian judge to serve on the Southern District of New York. He was appointed in 2022 by former U.S. President Joe Biden. In India, his father was a control systems engineer, and his mother was a bookkeeper. After studying computer science and English at Case Western Reserve University, he earned his law degree from Columbia Law School in 2004. After his graduation, he worked as a law clerk to Judge Dennis Jacobs of the United States Court of Appeals. One of the highlights in his career was when he worked with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court of the United States. She was one of the most influential justices of American history and only the second woman ever to be a justice on the apex court of the US.
