Jennifer Lopez is all smiles with Ben Affleck in Miami – Page Six

Bennifer 2.0 can’t stay apart for long. Just about two weeks after Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck returned to LA from a trip to Montana, the rekindled exes have reunited in Miami, where Lopez has been working. The “On the Floor” singer, 51, can be seen with a huge grin on her face as the more-serious “Argo” star, 48, stands behind her as they leave a private residence. The nostalgia-inducing couple are reportedly “taking it slowly,” but a source told The Post that the “Ain’t It Funny” singer always had her heart set on the Oscar-winning actor. “She was always obsessed with Ben,” the insider shared. “They have always loved each other.” The once-engaged couple postponed their nuptials in 2003 and permanently split in January 2004. By June 2004, ...

Two doses of Covid vaccines provide effective protection against variant found in India: Study – CNBC

A healthcare worker holds syringes with the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at a vaccination centre, in El Paso, Texas, May 6, 2021. Jose Luis Gonzalez | Reuters A new study has found that two doses of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or AstraZeneca-University of Oxford vaccine give effective protection against the Covid variant first discovered in India, however it underscored the need for two doses, as both vaccines were significantly less effective after only one shot. The study, led by Public Health England also found that two doses of the vaccine were similarly as effective at protecting against the variant that first emerged in the U.K. and has since become a dominant strain in the West. Dr Jenny Harries, CEO of the ...

Investigation underway after deadly New Jersey house party shooting New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is expected to provide an update Monday on a manhunt for an attacker who opened fire at a crowded house party, killing two people and wounding 12 more. State police, called to the scene just before midnight Saturday, said they arrived to find the bodies of a 30-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman in Fairfield Township, about 50 miles south of Philadelphia. John Fuqua, a resident who runs Life Worth Living, a local anti-violence organization, said he was called out to assist families at the 90s-themed party, and added that the guests were of all ages. "Nobody knows when someone’s going to come out of the woods with a gun,” Fairfield Township Mayor Benjamin Byrd Sr. said. He did not have any det...

NCIS: New Orleans: How Scott Bakulas Pride responded to wedding crasher in series finale – USA TODAY

This story contains details from the May 23 series finale of "NCIS: New Orleans." Wedding bells were ringing in the series finale of "NCIS: New Orleans."  Since it's a police procedural, a criminal not surprisingly nearly crashed the festivities, but even then it was a family affair of sorts. The final episodes of the CBS drama, which filmed in the Crescent City, centered heavily on the personal life of Special Agent Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula), the leader of the NCIS Big Easy field office. (CBS will still have three "NCIS" dramas next season: Mark Harmon's mother ship, heading into its 19th season; long-running "NCIS: Los Angeles"; and newcomer "NCIS: Hawai'i," as the franchise trades one telegenic travel destination for another.) Everything's in a hurry in the finale, "Laissez Les Bons ...

You nailed it!: P!nks 9-year-old daughters aerial act is breakout moment of 2021 Billboard Music Awards – Yahoo Entertainment

It was family night at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards, as hip-hop superstar Drake was named Artist of the Decade and accepted the honor alongside his adorable 3-year-old son, Adonis Graham. Adonis seemed almost as awards-show-ceremony-shy as his father has been in the past, clinging tightly to Drake’s side as he clutched his dad’s BBMAs trophy and eventually breaking into toddler tears.  But another superstar offspring, P!nk’s daughter Willow Sage Hart, was a natural onstage — and she was the breakout star of both the three-hour ceremony and Twitter's trending topics. P!nk was another special BBMAs honoree this year, receiving the Icon Award, which has previously gone to Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Cher, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Garth Brooks...

Trained on smelly socks, bio-detection dogs sniff out COVID-19 – KSL.com

LONDON (Reuters) — Sniffer dogs trained using smelly socks worn by people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus could soon be used at airports or mass gathering venues to pick up the "corona odor" of COVID-19-infected people, British scientists said on Monday. Working in teams of two, the COVID-trained dogs could screen a line of several hundred people coming off a plane within half an hour, for example, and detect with up to 94.3% sensitivity those infected, the scientists said. Presenting results of an early-stage study, which involved some 3,500 odor samples donated in the form of unwashed socks or T-shirts worn by members of the public and health workers, the researchers said the dogs were even able to sniff out asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 cases, as well as cases caused by a mutant var...

Another stunning Mare Of Easttown heals its heroine and reveals its culprit – The A.V. Club

Kate WinsletPhoto: Michele K. Short/HBO TV ReviewsAll of our TV reviews in one convenient place. There’s a moment of almost unbearable suspense in “Sore Must Be The Storm,” the penultimate episode of Mare Of Easttown’s stellar limited run. It comes in a sequence late into the episode, when the action cuts between Jess as she’s trying to evade Dylan and Sean, while across town, Carrie drifts to sleep, leaving Drew unsupervised in an overflowing bathtub. The tension is absolutely palpable at the moment Jess is discovered and dragged out from her hiding spot as Drew appears to have drowned in the tub with his mother inches away. It’s a moment only made possible by a narrative environment in which anything can happen and anyone can die, which Mare has somehow managed to do in just five e...
