You think you're finally like in the right hand. You're just not. Listen to IVF Disrupted, the Kind Body Story, on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you guys. get your podcasts. Let's get, best get to do it. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know if you don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot.

Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa, and this is the latest with Lauren the Rosa. This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, today we are going to get right on into the latest, because I got a lot for y'all, okay? So first up in the latest, lately. J-Lo has been moving and grooving.

She's been everywhere. J-Lo, Jennifer Lopez, has been everywhere promoting her new film, Kiss of the Spider-Woman. Now, this movie is about, you know, it's an all-Latino cast, and, you know, there's been conversation around Spider-Man was originally supposed to be

all-Latino cast, and, you know, she's really excited about being in this movie, so she has been everywhere talking about it and all of the things. Of course, because Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce is fresh. It's fresh, and you don't typically just get J-Lo out on a press run. People have been asking her about, you know, their

separation, their divorce. Now she went to the Today Show and she was asked about the divorce. And here is how she handled the question. Y'all, she is tired of y'all asking her about Ben Affleck. Take a listen. Your divorce is also finalized with Ben. But then I read that your ex is an executive producer on the film. If it wasn't for Ben, the movie wouldn't have got made. And I will always give him that credit. And you know, things happen. You have to keep going. But it's funny, the movie is about escapism. It's about how movies and art save us in the hardest times of our lives. And doing this project was such a dream come true for me that it really got me through to kind of survive a moment that was difficult in my personal life as well. So

after that, I took some time off and now we're back. And I'm really excited for everybody to see this film. It's a beautiful film about love. Now, a lot of the headlines, lines around this are like J-Lo calls out today's show host Craig Melvin and to be honest with you I don't think she called him out I think that is sensationalized as heck what I think you know and if you go watch the video um anywhere on social or on the today's show's YouTube channel I think it was just her being very well media trained being J-Lo reacting to it and she's been asked this question a few times and I watched the interview she did with CBS Mornings where they asked her about it she was actually on the carpet with Access Hollywood

at the movie premiere where she ran into Ben Affleck and they were like kind of getting to it. They had asked her about her personal life taking its own role in the background while she's shooting this film because at the time that she's shooting this film they're actively going through the divorce which was very

public. But the T.E. Bin Affleck and his production company that he has with his BFF, Matt Damon. Matt Damon, you guys know Matt Damon. It's called Artist Equity. They actually financed the film. And J-Lo has told the story in every interview,

how she is grateful for them financing the film, how the film would have not even been possible without Ben Affleck. Let's take a listen. And Ben Affleck is also one of the producers of that, right? The movie wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for him in artist equity. Is that right? Yeah, that is right. Because he was really...

Now we'll always give him that credit. Because he was always pushing it? No, because they financed it. They did. Yeah. Yeah. I told him this was the role I was born. to play and I wanted to do it and he was like okay and he helped make it happen was making it

kind of a refuge for you a little bit to just get out there and not think about stuff yeah it was it was hard not to think about stuff but it was like the best and the worst of times so what I think we're hearing here is her just y'all she didn't been asked this question like four or five about 11 times okay so she is tired of answering the question I don't think she called him out I think honestly was a great way for her to jokingly get around the question. And Craig Melvin was really good at what he did because he kept going. He just kept the conversation flowing. And he didn't switch topics.

He stayed on Ben Affleck and they continued their conversation. Now, I did mention the premiere for the movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and J-Lo running into Ben Affleck, y'all, there are these photos floating right now because they did take photos. And here's the moment. She's talking to Access Hollywood. Ben Affleck walks up and he acts for a photo And, you know, it's them

They're not the only people in some of the photos Although there are some solo shots of just Ben Affleck and J-Lo But let's take a listen to that moment You're here Yes, I'll get in the picture right now And J-Lo goes about it well And to be honest with y'all, when I saw the pictures, I said, oh First of all, she looks gorgeous

Always does, but she looks gorgeous And it was kind of given, I don't know, I saw like, dreamy eyes from the two of them. I was like, oh, she looks gorgeous and a low-key kind of looks in love. Very amicable, though, I will say that. And I think at this point when you've been with somebody, and this is not their first time together, they've known each other for decades at this point. And they just got to a place where they realized it just wasn't working. They're older now.

There's so much, you know, deeper in their love and their career for, and their love for their career. and everything they had on a line. They were not about to blow up on this car. You wasn't about to get, no, no, I'm good, especially because he financed the film. They're working together to make this thing look good. But I don't know. It made me think if there was a Benefer 3.0,

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, the name was Benefer. The last go-round, which was our second time rekindling, we were Benefer 2.0. If Benefer 3.0 happened, would y'all believe it? I wouldn't. I don't want to see Benner for three-pointed. I mean, I don't know. Maybe if it makes her happy.

But to be honest with y'all, I think once you try something twice and it didn't work out, it's like, just hang it up. Just hang it up. But yes, there's been conversations just around how they interacted on the right carpet

because of just how amicable it was. And, you know, they're smiling. They're talking closely to each other, but it's a red carpet. So it's kind of loud they had to. Yeah, and it got the people wondering, got the people going. I mean, Ben, even,

praised her performance the same night on the carpet. People will be trying to make it like, are they beefing, are they not? Are they back together or they not? Y'all, it might just be good business. Ah, come on. Why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient. Still using

All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know.

A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

Now, in other news, speaking about relationships, Kim Newton, former NFL legend Kim Newton, you know, he has a show, Funky Friday, and he sat down on Parker McKenna, Parker McKenna.

former child actress she's doing music now and all the things and they're having a conversation about so much her career, her evolution from child start to where she is now and they start talking about relationship stuff and dating stuff and Kim Newton says

he needs to know all of his partners, partners previous partners before they get together take a listen. I wanted to know her list. Of who she f***es? I want to know I needed to know. I have Oh, my God.

Because before I sit up here and really keep moving and elevating our relationship, I want to know who got one up on me. And if I'm willing to take on that burden, because if you had any type of relationship, intimacy, experiences with people that I really know, I need to know that. I'm old that.

Because if you don't give me that, you got me, hey, y'all, this is my girl, and you got somebody over there in that corner line. That I don't know. If she had been with someone, somebody that was close to me. I would have had to respectfully, I'm not there yet. I can't carry that weight yet.

I understand where he's coming from. I just don't know how realistic it is to know every single person and how healthy it is, too, to be having conversations all the time about what was versus where each of you guys are now. I do, though, think that it's a respect thing. I think, you know, for myself, I would want to know because, you know, I don't want any surprises. I don't want to walk into anyone that, you know, I just don't like surprises.

Like, I want to know. I want to, and it's not that, like, I want to know because I plan to, like, we got to have conversations with the person or about the person all the time. It's just the thing of, I just want to be kept in a know. I just want to know, you know,

all my angles when I walk in a room, who's here, how do they know you, you know, just various things, so that I'm not caught in a very awkward position in front of people. and I want to extend that same grace to my person. So I get what he's saying. And Kim Newton's girlfriend, Jazzy, watch Jazzy, who is a comedian and actress.

She is, you know, pregnant right now with Kim Newton's second child together. He has other children, but they're second child together. She commented on the post on the Freaky Friday Instagram and said, not Freaky Friday, the Funky Friday Instagram and said, Him and on my list takes away off my shoulders. And I think I under, I felt her. Jazzy gets a lot of slack for her relationship with Kim Newton and how it's perceived because people perceive it as she's this, you know, submissive woman who just takes whatever and is treated however, who isn't in a monogamous relationship and, you know, all these things.

Now, some of it has, you know, people have gotten to that conclusion for multiple reasons. Some of it and some people's conclusion comes from things Kim Newton has said on his podcast that he's been vocal about having to correct in his household as he learns how to navigate their relationship in the spaces that they are both in. And there was a video of Watch Jazzy that went viral sometime back and you know her talking about being submissive to her man

and you know when people get into those submission conversations it's kind of, it's very much a to each's own thing. But when you're a celebrity, public figure, it's not to each his own. People like to cast what they have going on or what they don't like onto you. So that's what happens a lot with their relationship. to the point where people have come on Kim's show

and said, I feel sorry for her because of how you talk about relationships and how you deal with women and all those things. But again, he has said he did an interview with Kay Michelle where he talked about having to tighten up how he has certain conversations out of

respect. And I think that's what it all boils down to and goes back to. It's a respect thing. In my own situation, y'all know, it was outside single day and doing my thing. But recently, you know, I'm, it's one person. Like we are exclusively dating each other.

And that's been a conversation that we've had multiple times. Because again, telling somebody everything all at once, it's just not possible because I think, you know, too, once you move on, certain people, certain things and certain memories just aren't important to you. But what you learn as you deal with your significant other is that there are certain reasons why they want to know certain things. Now, I do feel like there should be a line drawn between its respect and I want to be to know all my optics versus it's insecurity because if you feed insecurity it just grows bigger in my

opinion but i want to know i don't want to walk into no room where i don't know nothing i don't want to meet people that you've dealt with and i don't know i want to know period point blank but y'all let me know how y'all feel is the list of your person's partner partners required coming into a situation before you're able to get serious and really lock in with that person in a relationship or are you a look, when I don't know

won't hurt me and what they don't know won't hurt them type of person let me know y'all get out in the streets in the tweets We're outside, we outside outside in the tweets Every other page I go

Talk to me, I want to know Now as we wrap up because I want to try to get out in the streets and the tweets On that Kim Newton topic Tweet me You know all the things let's talk about how you're feeling.

But speaking of social media, Instagram has its own Oscars now, y'all, or something like it. So Instagram announced that they're going to have this new feature called Instagram rings. It's a new program meant to celebrate the creativity of creators on the platform.

There are over 3 billion people that use Instagram, right? So of that 3 billion people, Instagram, the leaders at Instagram, want to take 25% of that 3 billion people and award them and give them rings. So they'll receive an actual physical ring,

kind of like how you receive like an actual physical, like award or trophy if you win like an Oscar. But they'll also receive a ring on their actual Instagram to let people know that they have been awarded this award. So Eva Chen, who is the head of fashion partnerships at Instagram, spoke about this. And she said, we felt that it was time to have an award that recognizes people

who take these creative chances on our platform. People who have helped. Oh, and Eva is also, Also, Eva Chin is also, first of all, let me tell y'all, the girls that know, no, Eva Chin in the industry and, you know, her rise and her, you know, journey to Instagram has been very interesting. So when I, I didn't know she worked with Instagram, but when I found out she was there, or maybe I did know that because I follow her on Instagram, that's a lot, I didn't know that. But in reading this article, refreshing my memory that she was there, I was like, this is so fire. And this is why you need people across all different genres of creativity on one team because so many new ideas come.

She helped conceptualize this idea, this awards program. And she said, you know, these people that they're going to be awarding, they call them cultural catalysts. She says that these are the people who help spark conversations. And when they do that, they encourage people to express themselves as well. Now, y'all know running a platform, if any sort, is all about how many people you can galvanize, get to the platform, get talking about it, using it, and all of that. I thought that this was really smart by Instagram because, I mean, everybody's on Instagram,

right? Everybody's posting. Everybody's creating. But when you acknowledge someone for something or make them feel special, make them feel seen, it makes people go harder because now people are going to, like the level of creativity, if this is successful, right? If this becomes a thing where the Instagram ring is a sought after award, the level of creativity that we are going to see across Instagram, it's going to take it up even more notches. Now, working with Eva Chin is Wells Bonner, and Wells Bonner is Fire shoe designer, Black Woman, Instagram head, Adam Ulcery, and they're going to help to judge to give people these rings.

These people will be the judges. But they'll also be joined by experts in various, like, industries depending on, you know, certain things. So, like, they list director in cultural icon, Spike Lee, makeup artist Pat McGrath, also black woman, don't play with her, designer Mark Jacob, Yara Shahidi, actress, and the artist calls, who created all those, like, figures that people put in their houses. These are all people that will be involved. And they've actually already got their first class. So they worked together, and they settled on 25 winners. And the winners, they say, spend content topics, a category from fashion, makeup, to sports.

entertainment. And this has allowed for a wide array of honorees across interest groups to, you know, create a conversation where you're reflecting on the larger community of Instagram and what's being brought to Instagram. So we should be, you know, look out for the Instagram Ring Awards. Basically, that's what this is giving. This is the Ring, Ring, Ring Awards. But I thought that that was pretty dope. I don't know how effective it would be and how long it will last. I feel like these platforms are also always rolling out stuff. So stuff comes and goes. But we'll have to no Instagram wrote out notes and threads and those things have been around and people love them and you know so it's just one of those things we'll have to see at the end of the day there's always a lot to talk about and you guys know my low riders I tell y'all every single time y'all are here with me to talk about it I appreciate you guys so so much you could be anywhere with anybody talking about this but you're right here with me I appreciate y'all again and I will see you in my next episode oh also guys please Make sure you are also subscribed to me everywhere on social.
