Jennifer Lopez literally shut the lights out in New York City last night. Actually, it was a fire at an electrical transformer that knocked the lights out to a large section of Manhattan, but J Lo‘s performance at Madison Square Garden had just begun, and she was forced backstage and ultimately had to tell everybody to go home.  It looks like she’ll try to do a make up show on Monday.

Well, if Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello aren’t together, they’re really playing a convincing game with us.  Here they are, definitely kissing on multiple occasions this weekend.  And in one shot, they almost certainly know they’re going to be seen.

Olivia Culpo has some important things to say about social media and depression this weekend.  The former Miss universe revealed that she’s been struggling with depression, not eating right, and pretending everything is OK on Instagram.  She compared two pictures of herself, one when she was depressed, and one now and noted that Instagram is just a “highlight reel” of your life.  It’s a good post, give it a read. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Looking at the difference between these two photos today, and thought it was important to share something with all of you. 2nd photo, a few months ago: I was depressed. I had no appetite, was drinking way too much, smoking, couldn’t sleep, and couldn’t eat. But I was still taking photos on social media and pretending everything was great. I was going through a difficult situation that left me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt and it had taken its toll physically. The feeling of despair is a relatable one, so I feel a responsibility to anyone else going through something difficult to say that it’s ok to not be ok. 1st photo is from the other day, and I am looking healthier. I have my appetite back and am treating my body correctly. We’re all too familiar with the “highlight REEL” of Instagram so I wanted to get REAL and tell you it’s not always as amazing as it seems. I’m sharing this because 1. I want to emphasize what we already know: Instagram is everyone’s best version of themselves and their lives. It can trick us into thinking everything is perfect in other’s worlds. Which is NOT true. We are all more alike than we think, navigating life with similar ups and downs; good times and bad. We never really know what someone is going through, so it’s unfair to judge/compare. 2. I hope this helps others who might be going through a hard time and feeling like they need to “have it all together.” Social media can create a crazy amount of pressure to live up to an idealistic standard of “perfection” (which obviously doesn’t exist!). Hard times happen and the most important part is putting one foot in front of the other, knowing the moment will pass, and being patient with yourself. No filter is going to take away from the normal ups and downs of life that we all have. Our imperfections/hardships make us all perfectly relatable, taking this journey through life together. I think the more we understand how connected that makes all of us, the easier and more rewarding this life journey can be. Love you guys!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

And check out Kenzi MnGoma, an Uber driver in Durban, South Africa.  He only took the job to make connections that might get him a career in opera singing.  He's amazing!
