Jennifer Lopez surprised partygoers in Utah over the weekend with an impromptu performance of one of her longtime hit songs at the Sundance Film Festival.

J Lo was at Tao in Park City on Saturday night where she surprised clubgoers by getting behind the DJ booth for 10 minutes and surprised fans with a performance including singing her 2002 single, "All I Have."

Alicia Keys is certainly a girl on fire ... and, she's looking especially hot in these shots which we've put together to honor her birthday!

The singer-songwriter turned 44 Saturday ... and, while her husband Swizz Beatz posted some sweet pictures of her through the years, there are also a lot of pics of AK on vacay -- and, she's usually stripped down to a bikini.

Keys is know for getting in her swimsuit and soaking up the sun, surf and sand when she's not working -- which, quite frankly, ain't all that often.

Ryan Reynolds made a surprise appearance at Radio City Music Hall on Friday night to support Hugh Jackman ... while the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has escalated severely.

RR honored his Marvel costar and best mate at the opening night of Hugh's one-man show "From New York, With Love" ... offering a combination of ball-breaking and deep admiration for his fellow actor.

The few minutes were sweet and moving ... but odds are the war between RR's wife and Baldoni was on audience members' minds -- as that got even uglier this week ... and it looks to get worse.

It's worth noting Ryan has only made a few public appearances since the all-out war broke out ... at events without press ... who'd pepper him to address the situation ... much like this one.

More proof Hollywood is a small town ... the first witness at A$AP Rocky's gun trial was an LAPD officer, who just so happens to be the son of Erika Jayne.

Thomas Zizzo was called to the stand Friday as Rocky's trial got underway in a downtown Los Angeles courthouse ... and he told the jury about his ties to the case.

The infamous raid on Diddy's cell in a New York City jail was spearheaded by the very federal prosecutors who charged the music mogul with sex trafficking and other serious crimes -- at least according to Diddy's lawyers, who say they have the proof!

Diddy's lawyers filed new legal documents flat-out accusing Southern District of New York prosecutors of directing the November 2024 sweep of Diddy's cell with the help of Bureau of Prison correctional officers inside Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

In the docs, Diddy's lawyers point to a meeting between BOP officials and other federal agencies on the morning of the second day of the sweep to discuss a potential search of Diddy's unit ... and they say supervisors from SDNY, including the Diddy trial team's unit chief, weighed in that a search of Diddy's cell was warranted.

Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines ... after which she faced criticism for seemingly supporting Trump's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services -- and, indirectly supporting the new administration.
