Jennifer Lopez is keeping mum over rumors of her troubled marriage to Ben Affleck – and even warned a reporter not to ask about it.

The singer/actress was sitting onstage during Wednesday's panel discussion in Mexico City for her upcoming movie, "Atlas," when she was questioned about the status of her relationship with Ben.

Check out the video ... off camera, the journalist can be heard asking J Lo to address all the speculation around Ben. J Lo got the message loud and clear, and gave the newsman a little piece of her mind.

A Jennifer Lopez Netflix billboard is sending a strong message: don't mess with her -- or at least not with the titular character of her new action thriller movie, "Atlas."

Check out this billboard on L.A.'s famous Sunset Strip -- it's got a simple yet powerful message: "DON'T F WITH JLO" ... and while some driving by might initially think it's J Lo herself sending a warning, the Netflix logo accompanying it makes it clear it's just a clever promo for her new flick.

The marketing team nailed it ... especially 'cause the film revolves around her character, Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst who has to rely on AI to save humanity -- so yeah, she'll be doing some serious butt-kicking when it hits the streamer Friday.

Ben Affleck toyed with the paps Wednesday, by hiding the one body part that has mesmerized the public!

Ben was out and about L.A., picking up his son Samuel from school, with a bunch of paps in tow. As the photogs train their cameras on his left hand, Ben cleverly hides the appendage in his sweater.

Of course, what the photogs were looking for was his ring finger. Ben has flipped back and forth over the last few weeks, sometimes wearing his wedding ring and sometimes not.

Ben Affleck's close friend Jason Mewes ain't buying into the swirling speculation the actor's marriage to Jennifer Lopez is crumbling ... not based on what he's seen.

We got Jason out Wednesday in L.A., and he told us after witnessing Ben and Jen's genuine affection at their wedding less than 2 years ago, he'd be downright shocked if the rumors were true.

Jason expresses some frustration over people immediately jumping to split speculation ... suggesting there's probably a more practical explanation -- most likely work-related -- behind Ben moving out of their marital home.

Kelly Rowland went from 0 to 100 real quick at the Cannes Film Festival ... and a lip reader's now dishing on what exactly went down during her red carpet showdown with a security guard.

Jacqui Press has dissected the singer's fiery confrontation from Tuesday's "Marcello Mio" premiere -- and she says it all kicked off smoothly, with KR graciously telling the security guard, "It's OK," after she accidentally stepped on her dress. But then things took a drastic turn!

Jacqui spills to MailOnline that the security guard's response is still a bit fuzzy, but it was enough to irk Kelly 'cause she apparently fired back with a firm, "Don't talk to me like that."

Jason Momoa is back on the dating scene with a new girlfriend after his recent divorce ... and we caught the lovebirds packing on the PDA!

The actor/musician went out for a night on the town in Nashville with beautiful gal pal Adria Arjona -- and the couple couldn't keep their hands or lips off each other.

We're told Jason first took care of some biz Monday night ... playing with his band ÖOF TATATÁ to a crowd at Cannery Hall.

American actress Elisa Donovan was in her early 20s when she played the hilariously snobby role of Amber -- the mean popular high school girl who loves fashion -- in the teen comedy movie "Clueless" back in 1995.

Joining Elisa included Alicia Silverstone as the sweet, pretty and popular Beverly Hills gal, Cher, Paul Rudd as Cher's former step-brother who ambitiously wants to become an environmental lawyer, Josh, and Brittany Murphy as the nerdy, new girl to attend Bronson Alcott High School.

Elisa reprised her role in the television series also titled "Clueless" in 1996-1999.

Kelly Rowland's not the life of the party at the Cannes Film Festival ... in fact, the way she's waving her finger, seems she's downright pissed about something going on at a big glitzy event.

The Destiny's Child alum was strolling in Tuesday for the premiere of "Marcello Mio," rocking a striking blonde bob and a bold red dress -- looking very celebratory, but photographers captured several less than thrilled looks on Kelly's face as she had a heated exchange with a security guard.

Check it out ... the staffer's seemed to be trying to calm the situation by reaching out toward Kelly's arm to guide her into the event, and away from hundreds of onlookers.

Matthew Perry's death is mobilizing multiple federal agencies -- TMZ has learned the DEA's now getting assistance from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in its efforts to find the person who gave the actor the ketamine that killed him.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the USPS' federal investigatory authorities are now involved in the probe, and looking into whether Matthew acquired any drugs through the mail. We're told the postal inspectors are offering their expertise -- including their ability to track packages and other mail-related investigation tools.

TMZ broke the story ... local police and the DEA have been investigating the circumstances surrounding MP's passing for months -- after the toxicology report found the actor died from acute effects of ketamine.

If you can't spot The Rock in the first image from his latest movie set ... you ain't alone -- 'cause Dwayne Johnson looks unrecognizable in his new role as ex-UFC fighter Mark Kerr!

The WWE superstar transformed into the MMA legend for A24's upcoming project, "The Smashing Machine," and check out the first look from the film he posted ... the Brahma Bull's no longer distinguishable.

Dwayne covered up his signature tats ... added a wig -- and even appeared to put on some heavy face makeup to really look the part.

Looks like Jennifer Garner might need a tissue or two, 'cause she got a bit teary-eyed as her oldest daughter, Violet, officially became a high school graduate!

The actress shared an emotional IG post Monday ... with one clip of her sobbing on a plane, saying she didn't know how she was gonna make it through the teen's major milestone -- and then some pics from the ceremony itself.

As you can see, Jen was just like any other doting mom -- clapping away and wiping away her tears while coming to terms with her daughter getting ready to leave the nest.

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."
