things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations
that shake the room.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Baby. Now today we are going to get right on
into the latest.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Because I got a lot for y'all. Okay, So first
up in the latest. Lately, j Lo has been moving
and groove and she's been everywhere jay Lo, Jennifer Lopez
has been everywhere promoting her new film, Kiss of the
Spider Woman.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Now, this movie.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Is about you know, it's all Latino cass, and you know,
there's been conversation around Spider Man was originally supposed to
be all Latino Cass 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 jaw out on a
(01:00):
press run people have been asking her about, you know,
their separation, their divorce.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Now, she went to the Today.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Show and she was asked about the divorce, and here's
how she handled the question. Y'all, she is tired of
y'all asking her about Ben Affleck.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Take a listen. Your divorce is also finalized with Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Then I read.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That your actions as an executive producer.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
On the Flow, if it wasn't for then 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 arts save us in the
hardest times of our lives. And doing this project was
such a dream come drew for me that it really
got me through to kind of survive a moment that
(01:45):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Now, a lot of the headlines around this are like
j Lo calls out Today's Show hosts Craigman, 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, if you go watch the video anywhere on
social or on the Today Shows YouTube channel. I think
it was just her being very well media trained, being
(02:17):
j low, reacting to it. And she's been asked this
question a few times now. I'll watch 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, you know, taking its
own role in the background while she's shooting this film,
(02:38):
because at the time that she's shooting this film, they're
actively going through the divorce, which was very public. But
the tea is being Affleck in his production company that
he has with his BFF Matt Damon, Mat Damon, you
guys know Mad Damon.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It's called artist's equity.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They actually financed the film, and jalo I 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.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He is the movie wouldn't have been made if it
wasn't for him an artist equity? Is that right?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, that is right, because he was.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I will always give him that credit because he was
always pushing it or no, because they financed it.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
They did.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, I told him that this was a role I
was born to play and I wanted to do it,
and he was like okay, and he helped make it happen.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Was making it kind of a refuge for you a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
To just get out there and not think about stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, it was. It was hard not to think about stuff,
but it was like the best and the worst of times.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So what I think we're hearing here is her just yeah,
she didn't been asked this question like four or five
about fifty eleven times, Okay, so she is tired of
answering the question.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I don't think she called him out.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think, honestly, this was a great way for her
to jokingly get around the question. And Craig Malvin 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 affleckt and they continued their conversation. Now,
I did mention the premiere for the movie Kids of
the Spider Woman and Jalo running into Ben Affleck. Y'all,
(04:16):
there are these photos floating right now because they did
take photos. And here's the moment. She's talking to excess 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 Loo.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
But let's take a listen to that moment.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Here for sure.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yes, I'll get the picture right now. And Jelo goes
about it well.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And to be honest with y'all, when I saw the pictures,
I said, oh, first of all, she looks gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Always does, but she looks gorgeous, and it was kind
of given. I don't know, I.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Saw like dreamy eyes from the two of them. I
was like, oh, she looks gorgeous and a low key
col looks to the love. Very amblicable 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 it
just got to a place where they realized it just
wasn't working. They're older now, they's so much deeper in
(05:18):
their love and their career for and their love for
their career and everything they have on the line. They
wasn't 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.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They're working together to make this thing look good. But
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It made me think if there was a Bennifer three
point oh, ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez, the name was Bennefer
the last go around, which was that second Tarrey Knelling,
we were benning for two point oh. If benniferd three
point oh happened, would y'all believe it?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't want to see benneferd three point I mean,
I don't know. Maybe even makes her happy, But to
be honest with y'all, I think, once you tried something
twice and it didn't work, it's like, just hang it up,
just hang it up. But yes, there's been conversations just
around how they interacted on the Red carpet because of
just how amblicable it was. And you know, they're smiling,
they're talking closely to each other, but it's a red carpet,
(06:14):
so it's kind of loud. They had to yeah, and
they got the people wondering, got the people going.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I mean, Ben even praised.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Her performance the same night on the carpet. People will
be trying to make it like are they beefing?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Are they not? Are they back together? They're not, y'all.
It might just be good business. Now.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
In other news, speaking about relationships, Cam Newton, former NFL legend,
Kim Newton, you know, he has a show, Funky Friday,
and he sat down with Parka mackenna. Parka 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 star to where she is now.
(07:00):
And they start talking about relationship stuff and dating stuff,
and Kim Newton.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Says he needs to know all of his.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Partners, partners, previous partners before they get together.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
I wanted to know her list of who I want
to know.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I needed to know. I 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
(07:37):
that I'm old that because if you don't give me
that you got me.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Hey, y'all, this.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
My girl, and you got somebody over there in that
colar like that, I don't know if she had been
with somebody that was close to me, I would have
had to respectfully, I'm not there yet.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I can't carry that weight yet.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I understand where he's coming from.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I just don't know how how realistic it is to
know every single person and how healthy it is to
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,
(08:20):
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.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
It's just a thing of I just want to be
kept in the know. I just want to.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
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 watched. Jazzy,
who is a comedian and actress. She is you know,
(08:58):
pregnant right now with Kim Newton's second child together. He
has other children, but their 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 all my list takes away off my shoulders and
I think I understand.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I felt her.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
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
(09:36):
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 learned 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,
(09:59):
it's it's kind of it's very much to each his
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.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So that's what.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Happens a lot with that 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 you know, woman, and you
know 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
(10:29):
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, with outside, single day
ends on 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,
(10:50):
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
(11:11):
and I want to be able to know all my
optics versus it's insecurity, because if you feed in security,
it just goes 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
(11:33):
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 you call
(11:53):
the grouts.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Be outside, we outside, we outside outside, every other page
talk to me. I want to know now as we
wrap up, because I want.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
To try to get out in the streets and the
tweets on that Cam Newton topic, tweet me you know
all the things. Let's talk about how you're feeling. But
speaking on 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
(12:23):
on the platform. There are over three billion people that
use Instagram right, so of that three billion people, Instagram,
the leaders at Instagram want to take twenty five percent
of that three 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
(12:46):
they'll also receive a ring on their actual Instagram to
let people know that they.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Have been awarded this award.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So Ivachin, 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 she and Eva it's also a Eva
chan is also First of all, let's let me tell
y'all the girls that know know Eva Chen in the
(13:14):
industry and you know her rise in her you know, journey.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
To Instagram has been very interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
So when 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 and
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
(13:43):
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
(14:04):
many people you can galvanize, get to the platform, get
talking about 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.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
To like the level of creativity.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
If this is successful, right, if this becomes a thing
where the Instagram ring is assault after award, the level
of creativity that we are going to see across Instagram,
it's gonna take it up even more.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Not just now.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Working with Eva chin Is Wells Bonner and Wells Bonner
is fire shoot designer, black woman, Instagram head at a mulsary,
and they're going to help to judge, to.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Give people these rings.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
These people will be the judges, but they'll also be
joined by experts in various industries depending on you know,
certain things. So like they director and cultural icon Spike Lee,
makeup artists Pat Pat McGrath, also Black Woman, don't play
with her designer Mark Jacob, You're Shahdi actress, and the
(15:14):
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 twenty five winners.
And the winners, they say, spend content topics and categories
from fashion, makeup to sports, entertainment, and this has allowed
(15:35):
for a wider array of honoories 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, lookout out for the
Instagram Ring Awards. Basically that's what this is given. This
is the Ring Ring Ring Awards. But I thought that
that was pretty dope.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I don't know how effective it be and how long
it last.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I feel like these platforms are also always rolling out
stuff so stuff comes and goes, but we'll have to see.
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
