Jennifer Lopez splashes £40million on 10-bedroom house with beau Ben Affleck

She’s just Jenny from the Block, but as well as being named an Icon at the I Heart Radio awards, Jennifer Lopez is also spending £40million on a 10-bedroom house to share with Ben Affleck.

The couple’s humble new Bel Air abode is 20,000 sq ft, and has its own theatre, gym, pool and 17 bathrooms – which is an unnecessary amount of toilets to clean.

The couple reconciled last year, after first dating 20 years ago.

Pamela Anderson slams negative media attention

As she prepares to tread the boards on Broadway, Pamela Anderson says she could relate to her character, Chicago’s Roxie Hart, as they both received lots of media attention, not necessarily for the most desirable reasons.

But Pammie - whose sex tape theft was dramatised in recent series Pam and Tommy - says both used the coverage to their advantage.

“You’ve got to make the most with what you’ve got, you’ve got to make the most of any opportunity,” says the 54-year-old.

“Sometimes things seem like a bad thing but you can turn it into a good thing.”

A new Netflix series will see her tell her side of the story.

Olivia Rodrigo popped her pub cherry after BRIT Awards

Finally, Olivia Rodrigo got to use her driver’s licence in the pub.

The 19-year-old US singer is still too young to buy alcohol back home, where the age limit is 21, but not in the UK, where she came for the Brit Awards, to collect her International Song of the Year gong.

She says, excitedly: “I actually did get to go to a pub – it was crazy.

“They asked for my ID as I was going in and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can show them my real ID – this is amazing!’

“My friend who was with me was rifling through all her fake IDs to find her real one to show the bouncer.”

It’s nice she’s so happy getting ID’d, a novelty that only increases with age.

Jared Leto 'exhausted'

"Every day I was just wiped out, physically in pain. Just an excruciatingly challenging role," says Jared Leto.

Jared Leto grumbles to Apple Music about his demanding role as WeWork founder Adam Neumann in WeCrashed. It was exhausting, he explains, because his character “talked a lot” so he was “buried in dialogue”.

Spare a thought for those poor thesps.
