LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez stirred up social media recently, sparking divided opinions among users due to a hair mishap during her performance on 'Saturday Night Live!'

Adding to the buzz surrounding JLo, news surfaced about her involvement in producing an animated movie based on the beloved childhood cartoon 'Bob The Builder.'

The project, produced by Mattel Films, raised skepticism among fans, despite having 'In the Heights' star Anthony Ramos on board to voice the construction enthusiast Bob.

In another development, Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, generated headlines as reports suggested their vacation in St Barts was marked by stress, potentially indicating issues in their marriage, according to an insider.

The source revealed that Affleck had hoped for a relaxing vacation, but Lopez was reportedly orchestrating their schedule as early as 6 am.

Jennifer Lopez rips of hair extension during SNL performance

According to Page Six, a viral clip on social media captured Jennifer Lopez experiencing an on-air mishap during her performance on 'Saturday Night Live.' The footage showed her appearing to struggle with a hair extension, which she eventually ripped out while singing her new song 'Can’t Get Enough' alongside Latto and REDMAN.

Despite the unexpected moment, Lopez handled it with composure, not missing a beat, and continued the performance seamlessly, downplaying the incident.

Page Six reported that she maintained a cool appearance in a cropped white button-down, a cropped black jacket, and matching black pants with cutouts. The February 3 episode, hosted by Ayo Edebiri, featured the 'Hustlers' actress.



 

Edebiri, who had previously made critical comments about Lopez on the 'Scam Goddess' podcast in 2020, addressed her past insults during the SNL episode.

In a skit called 'Why'd You Say It?' as part of the show, Edebiri acknowledged her previous remarks, stating that leaving mean comments, seeking clout, or speaking carelessly on a podcast is wrong and doesn't consider the impact. She attributed her earlier comments to being 24 and stupid.
