JENNIFER LOPEZ GETS STEAMY ABOUT Sex with Ben ... NSFW Lyrics in New Song
Jennifer Lopez is letting us in on some very raunchy details about her marriage with Ben Affleck -- singing about their sex life in one of her new songs ... and yeah, it's raunchy.
Things get hot and heavy in the sultry new tune "Greatest Love Story Never Told" from her new album, "This Is Me… Now." Listen to these NSFW lyrics ... "Missing your body, Climbing on top of me, Slipping inside of me, Way that I ride it, Bodies aligning, Look at our timing."
Yeah, there's clearly no such thing as TMI when it comes to J Lo ... at least not these days.
The song isn't entirely X-rated though ... she also sings of how it was "destiny" they "found each other twice in one lifetime." Just another example that she and Ben are deeply in love.
Ben Affleck is credited as background vocal for ‘not.going.anywhere.’ on Jennifer Lopez’s new album #ThisIsMeNow.

Listeners were diggin' the emotionally charged tune ... some self-proclaimed hopeless romantics said they could totally relate to it, and that it was their favorite from her first album in a decade, which was trending heavily on X Friday.
While Ben obviously served as a major inspo on the new album, he also got involved personally -- lending some background vocals for "Not Going Anywhere." Yep, he's credited.
After their famous relationship ended in the early 2000s, J&B got back together in 2021, with plenty of cozy sightings, including some nostalgic yacht trips, of course -- and thankfully, the singer has made it clear they're much more secure now than they were previously.
So much so, in fact, that she made an album that heavily touches on their relationship.
One thing's for sure: she's into her hubby -- and, as we've learned, he's really into her too!
J Lo's killing it right now -- not only is her new album being well-received by fans, but this film of hers is being praised as well. There's a separate doc coming soon too ... "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," which is hitting Prime in due time.
Welcome to the new era of Jenny, y'all.

NCAA Men's Basketball Players Get Stuck In Elevator ... Game Delayed!!!
Tipoff for an NCAA men's basketball game was delayed on Thursday night ... and it's all 'cause members of one team got stuck in an elevator while on their way to the court.
Seriously!!!
It all went down at the Wellness Center in Brookville, New York ... when the visiting Fairleigh Dickinson Univ. Knights tried to get to their game against LIU Brooklyn -- but simply couldn't, because of a faulty elevator.
Firefighters are working on getting FDU players out of a stuck elevator.

The elevator takes the players from the locker room to the court. The Knights’ game at LIU is currently in a delay. pic.twitter.com/jQQlx8QUhr
As the team was packed into the lift that was supposed to take it from the locker room to the floor ... the ride broke -- trapping players inside.
Thankfully, with the help of firefighters, the Knights were released after about 15 minutes.
Hearing that it was extremely hot in the elevator and they were in there for 15 minutes.

How is this going to impact Fairleigh Dickinson’s play? Seems rather unprecedented so I really can’t say https://t.co/oSX4zIL71G pic.twitter.com/1vXeZVhIw1
It didn't seem to faze the guys too much ... although one player said just after the incident that it sure was hot while inside of the metal box.
The team, though, still ended up putting the whole fiasco behind it and pulled off a come-from-behind, 84-82, win. And, if you're wondering, yes, they did take the stairs the rest of the evening.
Smart guys!

Ataque en tribunal de Las Vegas Jueza relata el brutal incidente "Me quería acabar"
La jueza de Las Vegas que fue brutalmente atacada por un delincuente que se abalanzó contra ella dice que estaba totalmente horrorizada y que habría muerto si el personal de la corte no se hubiera apresurado en ayudarla.
El 7 de febrero, la jueza del Tribunal de Distrito del Condado de Clark, Mary Kay Holthus prestó declaración ante el gran jurado en el caso de intento de asesinato por parte de Deobra Redden, según una transcripción obtenida por Fox 5 Las Vegas. Redden fue acusado recientemente de un delito grave por agredir a Holthus en la sala del tribunal.
En enero, Redden fue grabado por un equipo de televisión saltando por encima del banquillo y abalanzándose sobre Holthus mientras el personal lo contenía y sacaba de la sala. Las imágenes se hicieron virales de inmediato.
En su testimonio, Holthus dijo que empezó la audiencia correspondiente a la sentencia escuchando a Redden hablar de sus planes para conseguir un trabajo y hacer un cambio positivo en su vida, señalando que estaba "super tranquilo". El abogado de Redden entonces pidió al tribunal que dejara a su cliente en libertad condicional.
Pero Holthus hizo caso omiso a su petición y decidió revocar su libertad condicional después de su condena por intento de agresión no relacionada con lesiones corporales sustanciales.
La jueza destacó que Redden era un delincuente reincidente y que necesitaba "probar otra cosa porque no podía con ese historial".
Según la transcripción del gran jurado, Holthus recordó: "Lo siguiente que sé es que, literalmente, saltó la mesa de la defensa y voló antes de que yo pudiera siquiera, y me estampó contra la pared. No sé qué me golpeó dónde".
Dijo que el feroz ataque fue totalmente inesperado e "increíblemente rápido". Redden le golpeó la cabeza contra la pared de mármol.
En un momento dado, Holthus recordó que Redden la agarró por el pelo y "la tiró hacia atrás", mientras ella se acurrucaba en posición fetal, tumbada "absolutamente aterrorizada". Dijo que sufrió heridas por todo el cuerpo, que ahora estaba "abultado y magullado".
A pesar de la paliza, Holthus le dio créditos a Redden por sus habilidades atléticas para saltar fácilmente sobre el banquillo, de cuatro pies de altura.
También compartió su gratitud por el personal de la corte diciendo: "Si no hubieran estado allí, yo no estaría aquí. Yo no era rival. Me estaba derribando absolutamente".
Holthus añadió: "Si hubiera sido solo yo, no habría sobrevivido a múltiples golpes en la cabeza, que es claramente a donde íbamos con él. Así que estoy muy agradecida".
En cuanto a Redden, actualmente se encuentra en la prisión estatal cumpliendo una condena de cuatro años por su sentencia de intento de agresión. Él será procesado por el cargo de intento de asesinato a finales de este mes.
Las Vegas Courtroom Attack Judge Recalls Bunny-Hopping Brute ... 'He Was Gonna Take Me Out'
The Las Vegas judge brutally attacked by an acrobatic felon who leaped over her court bench says she was totally horrified and would have been killed if court staff had not rushed to her aid.
On February 7, Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus provided grand jury testimony in the attempted murder case of Deobra Redden, according to a transcript obtained by Fox 5 Las Vegas. Redden was recently indicted on the felony charge for his courtroom assault on Holthus.
In January, Redden was recorded by a TV news crew jumping over the bench and pummeling Holthus as the staff pulled him off and restrained him. When the footage hit the airwaves, it immediately went viral.
In her testimony, Holthus said she started off the sentencing hearing that day by listening to Redden talk about his plans to get a job to make a positive change in his life, pointing out that he was "super calm." Redden's attorney then asked the court to release his client on parole.
But, Holthus ignored the request and decided to revoke Redden's parole after his conviction for an unrelated attempted battery with substantial bodily harm.
The judge highlighted that Redden was a repeat offender who needed to get a "taste of something else because I just can’t with that history."
Per the grand jury transcript, Holthus recalled, “The next thing I know, he literally jumped that defense table and flew before I could even, and just slammed me into the wall. I don’t know what hit me where.”
She said the ferocious attack was totally unexpected and "incredibly fast," as Redden slammed her head against the marble wall.
At one point, Holthus remembered Redden gripping her by the hair and "throwing her down backwards," while she curled up in a fetal position, laying there "absolutely terrified." She said she suffered injuries all over her body, which were now "lumpy and bruised."
Despite the vicious beating, Holthus gave Redden props for his athletic abilities to easily jump over her elevated four-foot-high bench.
She also shared her gratitude for court personnel, stating, “If they hadn’t been there, I would not be here. I was no match. He was absolutely taking me out.”
Holthus added, “If it was just me, I wouldn’t have survived multiple blows to the head which is clearly where we were going with it. So I’m very thankful.”
As for Redden, he's currently in state prison serving a four-year sentence on his attempted battery conviction. He will be arraigned on the attempted murder charge later this month.

Rachel Dolezal Fired from Teaching Job in AZ After People Found Her OF
Rachel Dolezal is without a job after she reportedly got canned from her teaching job in Arizona -- this after people learned she had an OnlyFans account ... which sparked outrage.
The ex-NAACP Washington chapter prez -- who was accused of pretending to be Black nearly a decade ago -- was let go from a gig she had with Catalina Foothills School District in Tucson ... where she was recently working as an after-school instructor.
According to News4 Tucson ... Dolezal now goes by a different name, Nkechi Diallo, and it sounds like the people there in Arizona didn't realize who she was.
More importantly -- the folks there didn't know she had run an OF ... something the rest of us were aware of dating back to 2022, when her racy pics got plastered online.
Anyway ... somebody blabbed to the media, and they went running to the school district -- and now, they're saying Rachel's no longer employed by them.
They told N4T, "We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo's Only Fans social media posts yesterday afternoon. Her posts are contrary to our district's "Use of Social Media by District Employees" policy (attached) and our staff ethics policy. She is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District."
Remember, Dolezal had been embroiled in a major controversy back in 2014/2015 ... when people realized she was a white woman and not Black -- which she'd posed as for years.
That whole thing has come and gone -- but it seems that, lately, more people are up in arms about the fact she's posting skimpy pics online -- which seems to have bitten her here.
Back to the drawing board, we suppose.

Despiden a una profesora tras descubrir su cuenta De OnlyFans
Rachel Dolezal se ha quedado sin trabajo tras ser despedida de su puesto de profesora en Arizona, después de que se descubriera que tenía una cuenta en OnlyFans, lo que desató la indignación.
El ex-NAACP Washington capítulo prez -que fue acusado de pretender ser afroamericano hace casi una década- fue dejado ir de un concierto que tenía con Catalina Foothills Distrito Escolar en Tuscon, donde recientemente estaba trabajando como instructora después de la escuela.
Según News4 Tuscon, Dolezal ahora va por un nombre diferente, Nkechi Diallo, y parece que la gente de Arizona no se dio cuenta de quién era.
Más importante aún, la gente del lugar no sabía que tenía un OnlyFans, algo que el resto de nosotros éramos conscientes desde 2022, cuando sus fotos subidas de tono aparecieron en línea.
De todos modos, alguien se contactó con los medios de comunicación y fue corriendo al distrito escolar, y ahora, están diciendo que Rachel ya no está empleada.
Le dijeron a N4T: "Nos enteramos de las publicaciones de la Sra. Nkechi Diallo en las redes sociales de OnlyFans ayer por la tarde. Sus publicaciones son contrarias a la política de nuestro distrito sobre el uso de redes sociales por los empleados del distrito (adjunta) y a nuestra política de ética del personal. Ya no es empleada del Distrito Escolar Catalina Foothills".
Recordemos que Dolezal se había visto envuelta en una gran controversia el 2014/2015 cuando la gente se dio cuenta de que era una mujer blanca y no afro, como venía afirmando hace años.
Rachel ha tenido sus idas y vueltas, pero parece que esta vez no se la van a dejar pasar.
Habrá que tener más cuidado... suponemos.
Un carro se estrella contra una sala de urgencias Y el conductor muere
Un carro chocó contra una sala de urgencias en Austin, Texas, esta semana y el video de las consecuencias es absolutamente horrible.
Este accidente ocurrió el martes por la noche en St. Davis's North Austin Medical Center, donde un vehículo literalmente embistió contra la entrada de la sala de emergencias, donde terminó hiriendo a un puñado de personas, entre ellas algunos niños.
Las imágenes que se ven aquí comenzó a rodar momentos después de que el coche vino volando a través de la parte delantera del edificio ... y como se puede oír, los neumáticos seguía chirriando - lo que sugiere que alguien tenía el pie en el pedal del acelerador, incluso después de hacer contacto.
La gente estaba luchando en medio del caos y algunos incluso tuvieron que ser levantados y cargados en brazos mientras las enfermeras y médicos salieron tratando de darle sentido a lo que había sucedido.
No está claro qué es exactamente lo que causó esto, pero lo que sí sabemos con certeza es que el conductor terminó muriendo justo después de recibir primeros auxilios. A primera vista, parece que pudo haber sufrido una emergencia médica y perdió el control del carro.
Los policías señalaron que el accidente no parecía ser intencional... vale la pena aclararlo porque algunos pensaban que podría ser incluso un ataque terrorista. Por suerte, no fue el caso.
Afortunadamente, nadie en el hospital murió, pero hubo muchos heridos. Cinco víctimas fueron trasladadas a otros hospitales con diversos grados de lesiones, incluyendo un niño que fue catalogado como en estado crítico.
Se informa que el pequeño sufrió lesiones que tienen su vida en riersgo, y las lesiones de un adulto nos informan que son potencialmente mortales.
Austin, TX Car Slams Into Emergency Room Driver Dies, Not Intentional
A car rammed into an emergency room in Austin, TX, this week -- and the video of the immediate aftermath is absolutely horrifying.
This accident happened on Tuesday night at St. David's North Austin Medical Center -- where a vehicle literally rammed into the entrance of the ER there ... which ended up injuring a handful of people, including some kids.
The footage you see here starts just moments after the car came flying through the front of the building ... and as you can hear, the tires were still screeching -- suggesting someone had their foot on the gas pedal even after the impact.
People were scrambling in the chaos ... and some even had to be lifted and carried away as nurses and doctors poured out trying to make sense of what had happened.
At this point, it's unclear what exactly caused this, but what we do know for sure is that the driver died ... this after requiring CPR on the scene.
Cops noted the crash did not appear to be intentional, which some thought might've been the case ... there were immediate concerns it was some sort of terror attack. Luckily, this wasn't that.
Thankfully, no one in the hospital was killed, but there were serious injuries. Five victims were taken to other hospitals for treatment ...and one of them is a child listed in critical condition.
The kid's injuries are reportedly life-threatening, while one adult suffered potentially life-threatening injury.

Policía de Florida Confunde una bellota con un disparo... Exagerada reacción en video
¡Un oficial de policía de Florida se parece más a un personaje de los dibujos animados de "Reno 911!" cuando confundió la caída de una bellota en su carro patrulla con una bala y se puso a disparar como loco en contra del vehículo!
El video filmado en noviembre, que acaba de ser publicado, muestra al ayudante del sheriff del condado de Okaloosa, Jesse Hernández, deteniendo a un individuo por supuestamente enviar mensajes de texto amenazadores. Hernández y su compañero esposaron al hombre y luego lo metieron en la parte trasera de su carro patrulla.
Todo parecía ir bien hasta que Hernández oyó lo que percibió como un disparo, lo que lo llevó a rodar mientras sacaba su arma y luego a disparar múltiples tiros hacia su carro.
Parece que Hernández descargó todas sus balas mientras Marquis Jackson, de 22 años, estaba indefenso al interior del vehículo policial, desarmado y completamente restringido. Sin embargo, Hernández claramente pensó que este había sido quien inició los disparos contra él desde el interior del coche.
En medio del pánico, su compañera, que no oyó nada parecido a un disparo, parecía confundido sobre su frenética reacción y también comenzó a dispararle al coche.
Milagrosamente, ambos fallaron, pero el video de cuerpo de Hernández muestra que su reacción fue completamente exagerada o al menos esa fue la conclusión de la investigación de la Oficina del Sheriff. Los funcionarios de Okaloosa determinaron que su uso de la fuerza no fue razonable. A su compañera se le dio un pase, pues solo siguió sus acciones.
En el curso de la investigación, Hernández se dio cuenta de que el sonido que había escuchado literalmente era solo una bellota cayendo sobre el capó. Hernández terminó renunciando a raíz de todo esto y no fue acusado penalmente.
Por lo que sabemos, Jackson no ha demandado todavía, pero ha dicho a los medios de comunicación locales que estaba "dañado" por lo que pasó.
Una vez que el polvo se asentó, la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Okaloosa dijo esto: "Estamos muy agradecidos de que el Sr. Jackson no resultara herido y no tenemos ninguna razón para pensar que el ex ayudante del sheriff Hernández actuara con malicia. Estamos limitados en nuestra respuesta debido a litigios pendientes. Pero que esto quede claro, entendemos que esta situación fue traumática para el Sr. Jackson y todos los involucrados y hemos incorporado el tiroteo de este oficial en nuestro entrenamiento para tratar de asegurarnos de que nada similar vuelva a suceder."
Terminaron diciendo: "Aunque sus acciones no estaban justificadas en última instancia, creemos que sintió que su vida estaba en peligro y su respuesta se basó en la totalidad de las circunstancias que rodean este miedo".
Florida Deputy Mistakes Acorn for Shots Fired ... Overreaction on Body Cam
A Florida sheriff's deputy is looking more like a cartoonish cop from "Reno 911!" on body cam footage of him mistaking an acorn hitting his patrol car for bullets ... prompting him to open fire on the vehicle.
The video, which was just released, shows Okaloosa County deputy Jesse Hernandez on the job, detaining a guy back in November for allegedly sending threatening texts. Hernandez and his partner cuffed the man and put him in the back of their patrol car.
All seemed to be going well, until Hernandez appeared to hear what he perceived as a shot being fired -- which catapulted him into a frantic drop and roll as he drew his weapon and started firing multiple shots at his car.
Hernandez seems to unload his entire clip ... and, remember, 22-year-old Marquis Jackson was helplessly sitting inside the patrol car, unarmed and completely restrained -- yet, Hernandez clearly thought Jackson had shot at him from inside the car.
Amid the panic, his partner -- who didn't hear anything like a gunshot -- seemed confused as to why he was freaking out, and also started shooting at their car.
Miraculously, both of them missed Jackson, but Hernandez's body cam video shows he completely overreacted ... which was the finding of the Sheriff's Office investigation. Okaloosa officials determined his use of deadly force wasn't reasonable, and his partner got a pass ... since she only fired based on his actions.
Over the course of the investigation ... Hernandez was made aware that what he thought he heard was literally just an acorn falling on his car's hood. Hernandez ended up resigning in the aftermath of all this ... and was not criminally charged.
From what we can tell, Jackson hasn't sued, yet, but has told local media outlets he was "damaged" from what he went through.
Once the dust settled, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office said this ... "We are very thankful Mr. Jackson wasn’t injured and we have no reason to think former Deputy Hernandez acted with any malice. We are limited in further response due to pending litigation. But let this be clear, we understand this situation was traumatic for Mr. Jackson and all involved and have incorporated this officer-involved shooting into our training to try to ensure nothing similar happens again."
They finished with ... "Though his actions were ultimately not warranted, we do believe he felt his life was in immediate peril and his response was based off the totality of circumstances surrounding this fear."

V-Day Drug Bust Cop Dresses as Teddy Bear ... Lures Suspect for Arrest!!!
A cop in Peru got creative this week to lure out a suspected drug dealer -- and it seems their holiday-themed scheme worked to a T ... teddy bear costumes usually do the trick, right?
Check out this wild video out of Lima ... which shows police officers going undercover and committing to the bit, full stop -- with one cop getting into a whole ass bear costume, complete with props and everything.
It's pretty clear what's happening -- ahead of Valentine's Day, they wanted to attempt to arrest a woman they suspected of drug dealing ... and figured an in-person telegram would do it.
As it turns out -- they were right. The lady they were after did, indeed, come outside to see what the deal was ... and once she was in their sights, the officers moved and pinned her to the ground.
You can hear the lady say she hasn't done anything and didn't have anything on her -- but they cuffed her anyway and searched her apartment after.
Unclear if they ended up finding any drugs on her -- but they dragged her to the station for booking, it seems. Operation V-Day can be considered a success ... con amor, por supuesto.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Pelea en Southwest Un pasajero lanza un puñetazo a un hombre... La tripulación salva el vuelo
Dos pasajeros se enredaron en una pelea en pleno vuelo, con un hombre lanzando un puñetazo a otro mientras la tripulación intervenía para intentar poner fin al enfrentamiento.
La violencia estalló el lunes en un avión comercial de Southwest que se dirigía de Oakland a Hawai, y tan pronto como los puños comenzaron a volar, la cámara comenzó a rodar.
Echa un vistazo a este video publicado por un testigo en Instagram donde se ve a los dos hombres discutiendo por una tontería hasta que uno de ellos decidió convertirse en Floyd Mayweather y lanzar una serie de puñetazos en la cara del otro tipo.
Rápidamente, los pasajeros y auxiliares de vuelo intervinieron para separar a los dos tipos. Cuando el avión aterrizó en la isla de Kauai, los alborotadores fueron detenidos por las autoridades locales, pero no quedó claro si fueron arrestados o acusados. En cuanto a las lesiones, el tipo que recibió la mayoría de los golpes parecía estar bien... o eso parecía.

Selma Blair Sorry For My Islamophobic Comment ... I'll Do Better Next Time!!!
Selma Blair is apologizing for an Islamophobic comment she made on social media ... and she's promising to do better.
Here's the deal ... Selma went viral last week and started catching tons of flak after commenting on an Instagram post about Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush voting against a measure banning Hamas terrorists from immigrating to the U.S.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
In her since-deleted comment, Selma wrote ... "Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroy minds. They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate."
Selma took a ton of heat from folks who said she was a raging, Islamophobic bigot.
In an apology shared Tuesday on IG, Selma says ... "I mistakenly and inadvertently conflated Muslims with Radical Islamists and fundamentalists, a terrible err in my words, and resulted in hurting countless people I never meant to, and I deeply regret this."
Selma says she deleted her comment after she realized she was amplifying hate and misinformation ... and says she now understands why she upset the Muslim community.
Despite the poor choice of words, Selma says she's "dedicated to tolerance and peace for all who want it -- not hate."

El error vocal de Alicia Keys es eliminado del espectáculo de medio tiempo Del Super Bowl
Los espectadores del Super Bowl se abalanzaron rápidamente sobre Alicia Keys por estropear una nota durante su actuación en el Halftime Show con Usher, pero ya se ha corregido el error.
Alicia desafinó un poco el domingo cuando comenzó a cantar "If I Ain't Got You" mientras tocaba el piano en el escenario, algo que la gente notó de inmediato y se burló de ella, aunque nunca lo sabrías si te perdiste el show en vivo.
Oh the NFL edited out that off-key moment on YouTube… https://t.co/6FCNgmiD6l pic.twitter.com/uEToqDrZQs
— Nate (@imnatemonroe) February 12, 2024 @imnatemonroe
La razón... el video oficial del espectáculo de Apple Music en el descanso del Super Bowl publicado en YouTube -que está colgado ahora mismo- eliminó claramente el pequeño error.
Escucha las comparaciones entre la actuación en directo y la versión publicada... parece que los editores han pulido la voz de Alicia. De hecho, no hay duda de que lo hicieron.
Ahora, no lo malinterpreten, esto no es una gran "conspiración" que involucra a la Liga Nacional de Fútbol como algunos han sugerido, es solo la NFL y Apple Music dándole una mano a Alicia.
Un montón de gente se está burlando de Alicia en redes sociales, por lo que los peces gordos que toman las decisiones aquí parecen estar lanzandole un salvavidas. Además, hay que suponer que quieren entregar el mejor producto posible, así que no es de extrañar en absoluto.
Dicho esto, todo el mundo va a recordar que Alicia necesitó un poco de magia de post-producción, ¡pero no hay daño, no hay falta, ella sigue siendo una cantante increíble!
No te preocupes, Alicia... la NFL y Apple te cubren las espaldas.
