What are the famous folk up to on our nation’s day of independence? Seeing as we’re liable to froth at the mouth with envy, do we even want to know? (We do.)

After 14 years working as writer for People, Sara Hammel sent her resignation letter to Jess Cagle, the magazine’s editorial director, “and other top editors.” But this wasn’t the kind of formal goodbye email filled with empty thank you’s to her superiors. No, no. Hammel chose to do something a little more incendiary…

Demi Lovato has taken another stand. Days after her calling Mariah Carey “nasty,” or more specifically, describing Carey’s behavior towards Jennifer Lopez as such, she has taken to Twitter to announce she will be leaving...Twitter. And also Instagram.

No, Johnny Depp, Amber Heard does not want to settle her domestic violence suit.

Hello, fellow humans! I am writing to you from inside the world of Jennifer Lopez’s All I Have Las Vegas show—a rhinestone-studded utopia filled with hoverboards, glittering 6 trains, and wonder!

Good morning everyone. Andy Cohen and Mariah Carey gave the world a precious gift Tuesday night, and it’s my pleasure to share it with you. Do you happen to remember Mariah’s “I don’t know her” remark about Jennifer Lopez? Ha! Look who I’m asking. Of course you do!

Jennifer Lopez’s new video for “Ain’t Your Mama” includes the voices of Gloria Steinem, Patricia Arquette and Hillary Clinton speaking about women’s equality. And, according to a new report, it also includes a good deal of product placement—much of which was needed to support Lopez’s expensive vision for the video.

Jennifer Lopez promotes wage equality, confronts workplace sexual harassment and rebels against domesticity in the most overwrought way possible in the music video for her feminist anthem “Ain’t Your Mama.”

Here’s video of Jennifer Lopez doing a poetic reading of Sir-Mix-A-Lot’s ass classic “Baby Got Back” for W, which is apt because she’s the very inspiration for the song.

Jennifer Lopez has been criticized both here and elsewhere for working with Dr. Luke on her new song, “Ain’t Your Mama.” But in a new interview, the writer of that song—Meghan “No” Trainor—has defended Lopez, saying that she fell for the song before she even knew Luke had produced it.

I am both an early and late adopter of American Idol. I watched it early on with the kids I babysat, embarrassing them as I imitated the contestants in front of their large floor-to-ceiling windows, in full few of their neighbors. Somehow this season, I happened upon it again, tuning in one quiet night home alone…

One fan theory about why Dr. Luke has been so petty about not letting Kesha out of her contract with him is that he hasn’t produced a genre-shifting hit in a couple of years, and that he’s now more inclined to follow than lead. (His last true smash, 2014's “Timber,” was by Pitbull featuring Kesha.)

Gen X’ers rejoice; the Backstreet boys are joining Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey in Las Vegas for a potential residency. JK, J.Lo and Mimi probably won’t let any of those guys speak to them but yes, all three acts will be in the same city.

Thank you, James Corden, for reminding me that I will never, ever stop wanting to be in an intimate student-mentor relationship with Jennifer Lopez.

On-again, off-again, who knows-again, red fish, blue fish, one fish, two fish couple Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were spotted getting closer and closer to back together last night. Just days after Bieber posted a throwback photo of the couple kissing, Gomez was seen at his Purpose World Tour show in LA.

Ben Affleck said the horrible phoenix tattoo on his back is “fake,” and I say he’s lying. In an interview with Mario Lopez, a person far too kind to lie to, Affleck claimed the hideous thing (that both Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner have publicly derided) was “for a movie.”

Diva Supreme Mariah Carey is reportedly shooting a documentary special chronicling her Las Vegas residency, meaning she’s changed her tune about reality television.

Bette Midler and Kim Kardashian’s Twitter feud—presumably a tribute to International Women’s Day—continues, with Bette informing Kim that, contrary to what she was accused of earlier, she never ever tried to be Kim’s “fake friend.” Whether that means she tried to be her REAL friend or never tried to be her friend at…

During a game of Plead the Fifth on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Jennifer Lopez (half of Bennifer 1.0) for her thoughts regarding the enormous phoenix tattoo on Ben Affleck’s back.

The notoriously accident-prone Jimmy Fallon is beloved by A-listers for his well-rated softball interviews, and by American TV audiences because, well, he’s on. The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is the talk show equivalent of hanging out in your rich cousin’s game room; he’s nice, boring, and you don’t talk about…
