Although she gave no explanation for the move, it's likely that J.Lo is preparing to make a major announcement, as many celebrities delete their social media pasts to reveal something grandiose, such as a tour, movie, music video or new product. Everything on her website was removed, as well.

Amidst at this, fans got in on the fun, as "J Lo is Coming" was trending on Twitter. Many Twitter users referred to a "major announcement" being in the works.

J. Lo is an avid social media user. The superstar even thrilled her followers on social media recently in posting a video with new husband, Ben Affleck

A narrator in the video said, "Guys I did it. I found the person that makes me the happiest I have ever been."

Ben and Jen tied the knot at a Las Vegas wedding chapel in July 2022. They later had a more formal ceremony at his Georgia estate.

"Obviously we weren't trying to go out in public. But I never shied away from the fact that for me, I always felt like there was a real love there, a true love there," Jennifer told Vogue in a November 2022 cover story. "People in my life know that he was a very, very special person in my life. When we reconnected, those feelings for me were still very real."

Christina Ricci sold personal handbag collection to pay for divorce

Christina Ricci paid for her divorce with her closet. 

The "Yellowjackets" star opened up about her split from James Heerdegen in 2020 and detailed how she put her fashion sense to "good use."

"There are certain things that I have collected, certain bags. I had quite a Chanel-handbag collection for a while, but I sold a lot of things," Christina, 42, told the Sunday Times Style magazine.

When asked why she sold her bags, she said, "Well, certain traumas in life go along with financial traumas, extended court situations, custody situations, fighting restraining orders. Having said that, I'm absolutely doing fine, there's no issue. But I learnt to use these investment pieces in different ways. I also had a Chanel Fine Jewelry collection that I put to good use."

The actress and James, who share an 8-year-old son, were married for seven years before a nasty split. She has since remarried, tying the knot with hairstylist Mark Hampton. The two share 11-month-old daughter, Cleo.

During the Sunday Times chat, the "Adams Family" alum admitted that a "chaotic" childhood has led her to make poor choices in her personal life. 

"I think with those things . . . Well, I can't speak for everyone, but it took me a long time to admit to myself what was going on, what it should be called," Christina said, noting she hasn't seen her father in more than 20 years. "Denial is very strong. Of course you don't want to accept that the worst possible thing is happening and that you put yourself in that situation. So it took me a really long time to realize that."

'Chrisley Knows Best' son, 16, hospitalized after severe car accident

"Chrisley Knows Best" star Grayson Chrisley was rushed to the hospital after being badly injured in a car accident in Nashville, Tennessee.

Grayson, the 16-year-old son of Todd and Julie Chrisley, was driving on the freeway when he accidentally plowed into the back of a Dodge truck stuck in standstill traffic.

TMZ said the teen suffered a "potential head injury" and told officers he didn't recall what happened. Photos of the aftermath appear to show Grayson's truck completely totaled, as the hood is cracked, windshield smashed and front end mangled. The back of the truck that Grayson allegedly rear-ended also showed significant damage. 

Grayson was rushed to the hospital via ambulance. The driver of the other truck refused medial attention, but TMZ said he also suffered injuries. 

No arrests or citations were handed out. 

Fans of the family's reality show know that Todd was worried about Grayson's driving, particularly due to a crash Savannah Chrisley got into as a young driver.

The crash is just another setback for the family. On June 7, 2022, Todd and Julie were found guilty of criminal bank fraud and tax evasion charges in federal court. They're awaiting sentencing.

Then, on Sept. 23, 2022, another legal situation came to the forefront after a former Georgia Department of Revenue investigator sued Todd for defamation. 

Amy Doherty-Heinze, who investigated the Chrisley parents for tax evasion, alleged that Todd was lying about her on his "Chrisley Knows Best" podcast and falsely accusing her of criminal conduct. In the lawsuit, which was obtained by TMZ, Amy said Todd named her twice and "maliciously" accused her of breaking laws during the investigation, even calling for her to be prosecuted. 

This is actually the second time she's filed a defamation lawsuit against the Chrisley family patriarch, having first done so in 2021. She filed the second lawsuit after he refused to retract his initial statements. Todd has actually been doubling down on his critiques of Amy, naming her in another podcast and claiming she "illegally" accessed the Georgia Crime Information Center. The first lawsuit is still pending.

Elon Musk changed Twitter rules, reinstates Kathy Griffin

Elon Musk is changing the bird.

On Friday, Nov. 18, the Twitter owner announced that "negative/hate tweets" would no longer be welcome on the site, but they won't be deleted either.

"New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter," he tweeted. "You won't find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet."

In continuing, he added, "Note, this applies just to the individual tweet, not the whole account."

Elon then decided it was time to let a few people out of Twitter jail, including Kathy Griffin, who banned from the social media site in early November for making fun of the Tesla founder. Author Jordan Peterson and conservative parody outlet The Babylon Bee were also reinstated.

Naturally, many people wondered what constituted a negative tweet, but few questions were answered. While letting Kathy and other free, the SpaceX CEO said a decision as to whether to let former President Donald Trump back on Twitter "has not yet been made."

Trump was permanently banned on the site following the deadly January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, as then-Twitter executives cited "the risk of further incitement of violence." At the time, Elon, who didn't own the company yet, stated that Trump should not have been banned, calling it a "mistake." 

"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," he said upon purchasing the platform earlier this year. "I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans."

However, while Elon decides on Trump's Twitter future, he has made up his mind on another prominent republican figurehead. After a user implored the Chief Twit to reinstate conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Elon simply wrote, "No."

Pete Davidson linked to another famous beauty who's newly single — and friendly with his ex Kim Kardashian

Pete Davidson, Hollywood's modern-day Lothario, might have snagged another stunning A-lister. 

An anonymous sighting sent to social media gossip site Deux Moi on Nov. 13 claimed that the "Saturday Night Live" alum was spotted on a date in New York City over the weekend with actress and model Emily Ratajkowski, and the two appeared to be getting physical.

"His hands were allll over her and they're clearly clearly hooking up," the anonymous tipster told Deux Moi. 

While the report isn't confirmed, it's not hard to imagine. Pete has long been linked to a bevy of Hollywood beauties including Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, Cazzie David, Margaret Qualley, Ariana Grande — to whom he was engaged — and, most recently, Kim Kardashian.

Just last year, Emily praised Pete after they worked together on a modeling shoot for a Canadian clothing brand. 

"Pete — he's got the height. Obviously women find him very attractive," she said during an appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers." "Guys are like, 'Wow. What's that guy got?' And I'm like, I mean, he seems super charming. He's vulnerable. He's lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!"

Pete became single in August following a nine-month romance with Kim. Emily, who is friends with Kim, filed to divorce film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in September after four years of marriage. 

In July, whispers emerged that Emily's marriage to Sebastian was in trouble amid allegations he cheated

"He's a serial cheater. It's gross. He's a dog," a source told Page Six of Sebastian, who shares a toddler son with Emily. 

Following her divorce, Emily was linked to Brad Pitt and DJ Orazio Rispo.

Tired, flirtatious and resisting rehab: Inside Aaron Carter's final days

Aaron Carter was looking frail and "extremely tired" just two days before his untimely death, his manager said.

"He looked thin," Taylor Helgeson told Page Six. "He just looked like he needed to be doing anything but working. He looked like he needed to be taking care of him."

Although nothing has been confirmed, it seems that the "I Want Candy" singer's addictions caught up with him, as a report claims he was surrounded by pill bottles and compressed air cans. Prior to the death, there had been suspicions that Aaron was huffing compressed air to get high. 

Despite his "tired" guise, Aaron was in good spirits and working on new music in the studio the week of his passing. Still, Aaron's manager — who'd been woking with him for eight months — was perplexed by the difference in the singer's attitude and appearance.  

"He didn't seem okay," Taylor said before explaining, "Now, when I say that, I think it's really important to kind of context that. He didn't seem okay physically … [but] mentally, he was the most excited I've seen him in months. He was very intelligent and he was very conscious of what people wanted to see from him."

The "House of Carter" alum was also flirtatious in his dwindling hours, as he was apparently begging model Sonya Cruz to come to his house. "You should see me soon… ASAP… like tomorrow… my place," he wrote in a series of messages according to screengrabs published by the Daily Mail. He even offered to pay for an Uber to get Sonya to his Lancaster, Calif., home that evening. Sonya relented, writing, "talk tomorrow after you get up." Aaron, who had an on-and-off relationship with fiancé Melanie Martin, would not wake up again.

Since Aaron's body was found in the bathtub by a housekeeper, rumors pertaining to the cause of death have swirled, but Taylor is convinced that it accidental. 

"He was a guy with a lot of plans," the manager said. "We had so much stuff going on and, you know, Aaron was a really prideful guy in his own right, too."

Of course, that's not to say Aaron didn't have issues. Far from it. In fact, Taylor told Page Six that he and Aaron were at odds over the singer's resistance to go to an inpatient rehab program in Utah. 

"We were proposing [what] would have been … three months in Utah just on detoxing and kind of formulating new physical habits within your body," the manager said. "Aaron was saying, 'I'm going to get my kid back and then I'm going to do this,' and I was saying, 'If you do this, I'm definitely going to get you your kid back,' and that was the disagreement."

In September, Aaron and Melanie lost custody of their son, due to domestic violence and drug-use concerns, the Los Angeles Times reported. However, in trying to regain custody, Aaron did opt for treatment, but it was an out-patient program near his home, which is less-stringent than the Utah program. Further, his attendance record wasn't admirable, as he reportedly skipped several dates. Aaron, TMZ said, stopped going to treatment sessions briefly, but was reinstated just before his last breath.

Ironically, in September, Aaron had told a paparazzo that he'd been sober for five years, something that few people believed, particularly due to his appearance. Before the 34-year-old's death, Aaron's longtime friend Gary Madatyan told ET, "He looked terrible. He lost so much weight. He was not acting normal. His mind was not there. I heard he's taking a lot of medication, not specifically illegal drugs, but he was on a lot of medication."

In his final days, Aaron was often thinking about his son, Prince, and was determined to make a good life for him, Taylor said. 

"I was like, 'You need a will,' so I reached out to my publicist at that time, and I had asked her to help with getting the paperwork," the manager says. "And so we started getting that together and we got the paperwork out and it never got signed. It never got filled out."

The women then went on to address the benefits of eschewing underwear.

"[Hoda] said, 'Do you wash your clothes and I said 'Yes, I do.' But it's also not like I'm sharing your jeans with you," Jenna laughed. "Though I do steal Savannah [Guthrie]'s pants on occasion."

In doubled down on the topic, Jenna then hilariously asked if she could borrow Hoda's "red suit." She quipped, "I'll wear underwear."
