Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez skipped Globes for Puerto Rico relief trip
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez skipped the 2018 Golden Globe Awards to take a relief trip to Puerto Rico.

The 48-year-old singer/actress and 42-year-old retired MLB star traveled to the country Sunday to follow up on their fundraising efforts in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

"I could have been [at the Golden Globes], but I wanted to be here," Lopez told Good Morning America, who followed the couple on their trip. "I chose to be here."

The "Amor, Amor, Amor" singer wore black during her visit as a sign of solidarity with the Time's Up equality and anti-harassment movement and its followers. She called for equality for Puerto Ricans in the GMA segment.

"We just want to be treated equally. We're Americans," the star, who is of Puerto Rican heritage, said. "We're here to kind of shine a light and let everybody know, like [Alex] said, 'We're in our first inning. We have a long way to go.'"

Lopez and Rodriguez helped raise $35 million for hurricane relief efforts in October. The couple announced $2 million in aid for federally-qualified community health centers, and will help allocate the remaining funds.

"We had high hopes that, you know, it was going to be further along than it is," Lopez said of rebuilding efforts. "But there's still a lot of work to be done."

"It was important for us to follow up and come down here and see with our own eyes," Rodriguez added.

Lopez shared a photo with Rodriguez from their trip on Instagram, calling their visit "an amazing enlightening heartbreaking and yet hopeful day."

"We made it down to Puerto Rico for the first time since the hurrican and our Somos concerts. Still many miles to go....but grateful to go the distance side by side with this amazing buy.... #hesmybestie #hesmyman #hesmysuperhero," she wrote.


'Fixer Upper' star Joanna Gaines says restaurant will open 'soon'
Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines will soon open the doors to her first restaurant.

The 39-year-old television personality said in an Instagram post Tuesday that she and husband Chip Gaines are "getting so close" to opening Magnolia Table.

Joanna shared a slideshow of photos of herself and Chip cementing their handprints outside the establishment. The couple purchased the restaurant, formerly known as Elite Cafe, in May 2016.

"The restaurant is getting so close. Magnolia Table will be open soon and we can't believe it?!? Chip + Jo," Joanna wrote.

Chip recently shared his vision for the Waco, Texas, restaurant in an interview with Southern Living. The 43-year-old television personality and author described the new eatery as "a breakfast joint" poised to open in the summer.

"I've always been a breakfast connoisseur. I always do a heavy, bigger breakfast, but Jo is the exact opposite. She was kind enough to come with me on this one," Chip said.

"The restaurant itself is literally one big giant kitchen. When we first got in there, it was all the things you can imagine," he confessed. "But if I took you in there today, you'd be like, 'Oh! This is so clean, everything smells so great.'"

Joanna's update follows news she is pregnant and expecting her fifth child. She and Chip, who are already parents to 12-year-old Drake, 11-year-old Ella, 9-year-old Duke and 7-year-old Emmie, shared an announcement this month.

Chip and Joanna came to fame on Fixer Upper, which will end after Season 5 on HGTV. The pair explained in an interview with Today in October that they were ending the show to "focus" on their marriage.

Selena Gomez unfollows Demi Lovato, Gigi Hadid and more on Instagram
Selena Gomez is no longer following Demi Lovato, Gigi Hadid and several other stars on Instagram.

Us Weekly reported the 25-year-old singer purged nearly 300 people from her account Saturday and is now following just 37 accounts.

Gomez unfollowed Lovato, Hadid, Camila Cabello, her Wizards of Waverly Place co-stars, the 13 Reasons Why cast and other friends and former co-stars, causing fans to speak out about the change.

"Damn, Selena has unfollowed a lot of people on Instagram," one fan account tweeted.

Gomez is still following Taylor Swift, Francia Raisa, Amy Schumer, Jessica Alba and a handful of other friends and fan accounts. She last posted a photo of herself outside her childhood home the same day as her Instagram purge.

"The home I grew up in, from birth to 13... (no one was home when I knocked this time lol) I visit this place every chance I get," the star wrote.

Gomez made headlines in November after she unfollowed her ex-boyfriend, singer The Weeknd, after their split. She has since been linked to her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, and was spotted with the singer at a pilates class Jan. 3.

Which professional wrestling icon will return for the WWE's Raw 25th anniversary special?

Stone Cold Steve Austin is set to return to the WWE for Raw's 25th anniversary special.

The event, which will be broadcasted live on the USA Network at 8 p.m. ET, is set to take place Jan. 22 at both the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the Manhattan Center in New York, where the first Raw took place.

The Texas Rattlesnake, one of the most legendary Superstars in WWE's history, will be joining other wrestling legends, notable performers and Hall of Famers, such as The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, announcers Jim Ross and Jerry 'The King' Lawler, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, The Bella Twins, D-Generation X, The Dudley Boyz, The New Age Outlaws, Ron Simmons and JBL.

Austin was last featured on WWE programming during WrestleMania 32 in 2016, when he teamed up with Michaels and Mick Foley to take down The League of Nations. The New Day then joined the veterans for a celebration before Austin delivered a Stone Cold Stunner to Xavier Woods.

Austin, a six-time World Heavyweight Champion, was a cornerstone of WWE's most lucrative period known as The Attitude Era. He enjoyed classic feuds throughout his career against Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Triple H, Vince McMahon, and Bret Hart, among others.

The Raw 25th anniversary special will also include an Intercontinental Championship match between Roman Reigns and The Miz.
