Jennifer Lopez went all by herself to her film premiere in L.A. Monday night – one day after she was seen smiling on a drive with her husband Ben Affleck, creating even more confusion about their relationship status.

J Lo hit the red carpet for the opening of her movie "Atlas" at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood -- and looked stunning as she posed for paparazzi photos, yet she was without Ben by her side amid rumors of their breakup.

Ben, on the other hand, was across the city being photographed walking off the set of his new movie. You can see the actor taking a sip from a drinking cup and lugging a black bag from his trailer. What you can't see is his wedding ring.

6:11 PM PT -- OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman tells TMZ ... “The voice of Sky is not Scarlett Johansson's, and it was never intended to resemble hers. We cast the voice actor behind Sky’s voice before any outreach to Ms. Johansson. Out of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have paused using Sky’s voice in our products. We are sorry to Ms. Johansson that we didn’t communicate better.”

Scarlett Johansson appears ready to go to legal war (again) -- only now, it's all about ChatGPT's newest voice sounding eerily similar to her ... and she says that's no coincidence.

The actress came out swinging Monday on the heels of OpenAI -- the creator of ChatGPT -- yanking their newest feature of their hottest commodity ... namely, suspending AI voices they recently trotted out, including one that many said sounded just like ScarJo.

They dubbed the new voice Sky ... and many felt it eerily mirrored Scarlett's AI character in 2013's "Her" -- where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with a computer that sounds human.

Nina Dobrev's active lifestyle has taken a hit -- 'cause she landed in the hospital ... this after an accident on an electric bike.

The 'Vampire Diaries' alum shared this unfortunate news Monday by posting a photo from her hospital bed on Instagram ... where she was hooked up to a monitor while sporting a knee brace AND a neck brace.

Nina appeared to blame an e-bike for her current state ... as her first slide in the upload featured her posing on the vehicle in a little black outfit -- looking as happy as can be.

Demi Moore's baring it all -- literally and figuratively -- by opening up about shooting full frontal graphic nudity for her new feminist body horror film at Cannes ... and why she did it.

The actress was at a Cannes Film Festival press conference this weekend after the premiere of "The Substance," the new flick she's in, and Demi said stripping down for the role required loads of vulnerability and rawness ... something she felt she needed to do to tell the story.

She gives a shout-out to her costar, Margaret Qualley, whom she says eased her nerves and served as an incredible scene partner for the moments they had to get fully naked.

Jessica Biel made a transformation over the weekend ... cutting off her beautiful long locks to showcase her new bob hairdo.

The actress posted an Instagram video that started with her gripping bunches of brown hair on each side of her head as music played in background.

Jessica then yanked her tresses in sync with the sound effects of gunshots before tilting her head sideways and giving her strands one more tug. Then her image jumped from her old look to her fresh bob haircut. In the caption, Jessica joked, “Brought back the f*** ass Bob."

American actor Mitch Silpa was in his mid-40s when he played Steve the flight attendant -- who puts up with the rowdy bridesmaids en route to the Las Vegas bachelorette party -- in the 2011 romantic comedy film "Bridesmaids."

The ensemble cast of comedic icons included Kristen Wiig as the lonely, single and cynical gal with roommates, Annie, Maya Rudolph as the bride-to-be and Annie's childhood bestie, Lillian and Melissa McCarthy as the government worker with a new-found zest for life after falling off a ship, Megan.

"'Stove' what kind of a name is that? My name is Steve ... Are you an appliance?"

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck seem to be saying they're all good, maritally speaking -- even though they're not living under the same roof, they spent much of Sunday together ... looking like a happy couple.

The apparently estranged couple met up Sunday in Santa Monica, where they both showed out to support J Lo's kid, Emme, in a school event. Jennifer Garner also showed up with Fin, as Ben and Jen's kid is pretty tight with Emme.

Anyway, things got more interesting when they left Santa Monica -- Ben was smiling behind the wheel, and Jennifer was in his passenger seat, as they headed out ... apparently to grab dinner together at BOA Steakhouse in WeHo.

Selena Gomez is taking yet another step back toward her acting roots, 'cause a movie she's in just premiered at Cannes and people loved it -- getting on their feet for her ... making for some light waterworks.

The singer was spotted wiping away tears after her forthcoming musical crime drama, "Emilia Perez," received an impressive nine-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.

Selly tried to keep her composure as all eyes were on her at the end of the screening ... but her emotions eventually got the better of her. You can tell it meant a lot that people liked the performance – and frankly, it's a good sign that she's all in on her acting career yet again.

As "IF" Ryan Reynolds' looks over the years could get any HOTTER ...

Here is a 21-year-old version of the hilarious Hollywood hottie at the "Two Guys And A Girl" Preview in New York City back in 1998 (left). This was Ryan's breakout role, playing Berg on the ABC show until 2001, before hitting the big screen in movies like 'Van Wilder' and 'Waiting.'

And 26 years later ... the Daddy of four and Wrexham team owner recently charmed his way on the red furry purple carpet for his new film "IF" (right).

"Oooooh the GOAT!"

but the question is ...

Francis Ford Coppola either has another masterpiece, or a dud in his new "Megalopolis" movie -- and amid comparisons to "The Room," one of its OG stars is betting on Coppola.

Word outta Cannes is that FFC's self-financed passion project is such a mess that it compares to the 2003 cult classic film by Tommy Wiseau -- which has been labeled so-bad-it's-good.

Greg Sestero played the dude who was Tommy's best friend in the flick -- he was on the receiving end of Tommy's infamous "Oh, hi Mark" line -- and he told us if Francis' movie is being compared to their flick, he's most likely got magic on his hands.

Ryan Reynolds' new movie "IF" must have a lot of imaginary friends in the crowd ... 'cause it's tanking at the box office despite the star-studded cast.

Deadline reports the movie made just $10.3 million on Friday -- including previews -- and, it's headed for just a $30 million opening ... lower than initial estimates projected.

Plus, another negative for the creative new picture ... critics seem to want it to disappear like a kid's IF when they grow up -- it's currently got a shockingly low 49% on Rotten Tomatoes despite its all-star cast.

Cynthia Nixon's reflecting on the early days of "Sex and the City" ... remembering the show's doubters -- who said she and her castmates didn't seem like real women.

The actress -- who's played Miranda Hobbes in numerous incarnations of the show over the last couple decades -- reflected on the series during an interview with Page Six, calling out trolls for questioning the show's authenticity.

The way Nixon tells it ... early criticism of the show included a claim parroted by many detractors who she says claimed women didn't talk as openly about sex as the dialogue suggested.

Ben Affleck just upped the ante, or lowered it, amid the marital strife between Jennifer Lopez and himself -- because he's no longer wearing his wedding ring.

Well, at least he wasn't on Friday evening when pulling up to the school where his kid had a recital ... and as Ben moved the sun visor in his car, it became clear his left hand was a little lighter than it's been for almost 2 years.

As we reported, Ben has been living separately from J Lo for a few weeks now -- he moved out of the $60 million Bev Hills mansion they bought last year, and into a rental home in Brentwood.

"Goodfellas" may not have aged so well to some audiences ... receiving a trigger warning from the AMC over outdated stereotypes -- and, it's causing an online backlash.

Ken Lovett -- a former reporter for the New York Post -- shared a picture of a trigger warning he says played right before the flick on TV to X earlier this week ... warning audiences about potentially offensive content in the Martin Scorsese film.

The warning cites "language and/or offensive cultural stereotypes that are inconsistent with today's standards of inclusion."

Amy Winehouse's biopic "Back to Black" left out a viral moment ... cutting her dig at Justin Timberlake right before she won her Record of the Year Grammy.

The new movie -- released this week -- touches on some of the biggest moments of AW's life including her famous 2008 Grammy performance and win ... but, apparently, it leaves out the moment just before her victory.

If you don't remember ... Amy live streamed from a studio in London for the show -- and, when Tony Bennett and Natalie Cole read out the names of the RotY competitors Winehouse reacted negatively to JT's album name.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are living such separate lives right now, they reportedly did not celebrate Mother's Day together.

As we reported, Ben has moved out of their Beverly Hills mansion, and into a home he's renting in Brentwood -- not far from where Jen Garner lives with their 2 kids -- and, although, he and J Lo were both in L.A. last Sunday ... they marked the holiday apart, according to People.

For her part, J Lo certainly had lots of feels on Mother's Day which she shared on social media -- posting about her relationship with her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, who she had with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
