Mojtaba Khamenei has verified account on X, Elon Musk’s platform
Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has a new “verified” account on X, the influential social media platform owned by Elon Musk.
Khamenei, whose X handle is @Rahbarenghelab_, went on a tweetstorm Thursday about the war against Iran by the U.S. and Israel, and the Islamic Republic’s response to it.
“Dear fighter brothers! The desire of the masses of the people is the continuation of effective and regret-inducing defense. Furthermore, the leverage of blocking the Strait of Hormuz must certainly continue to be used,” Khamenei wrote in one post to his more than 44,000 followers on X. All of the posts have been translated by X from Persian.
“I assure everyone that we will not forgo vengeance for the blood of your martyrs,” he wrote in another post.
In addition to talking about the Strait of Hormuz, Khamenei urged Iran’s neighbors in the Middle East to “clarify their stance” and for those that host U.S. military bases to shut them down.
Khamenei was selected as Iran’s supreme leader earlier this week to replace his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a strike on the first day of the war, Feb. 28.
Katie Paul, director of the Tech Transparency Project, blasted the fact that Mojtaba Khamenei had been allowed an X account. TTP in February released a report that found there were X accounts in the names of Iranian officials, agencies and government-run media outlets that had a blue check mark, which indicates they were customers of X’s premium service.
“For the past three years the Tech Transparency Project has repeatedly highlighted how X is profiting from providing premium subscriptions to US sanctioned entities — many linked to terrorism — in apparent violation of US sanctions law,” Paul told CNBC in an email.
“Now it’s happening with the sanctioned leader of a country the US is actively engaged in war with,” Paul said.
Musk’s space exploration company SpaceX, which owns X and the artificial intelligence company xAI, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Mojtaba Khamenei’s new account on the social network. The account has a blue check mark reserved for “premium” users.

Jennifer Lopez ‘happy’ and ‘free’ after Ben Affleck divorce
Jennifer Lopez finally feels “free” — nearly two years after her split from Ben Affleck.
The singer opened up about how she is doing in the wake of her and the actor’s August 2024 divorce in a preview of her upcoming “Nightline” interview.
“I’m in my happy era,” Lopez, 56, gushed in a teaser clip, which aired on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday. “I think, for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free; I’m on my own. And it feels really good.”
Lopez added that she “didn’t really know” what that felt like since she was in her early 20s.
“And even before that. I’ve always had boyfriends,” she recalled. “There was always someone in my life, and so many things that I felt like were out of my control.”
The pop star told “Nightline” host Juju Chang that she’s also learned to stop putting so much pressure on herself all the time.
“I’ve gotten to the point where I really trust myself and appreciate myself a little bit more, instead of being so hard on myself and always trying to prove myself,” Lopez admitted, recalling how she “had to stop everything” and take “a year off from work” to properly heal from her divorce.
“I canceled tours and just decided to be home and sit in what had happened without running away from it through work, through another person, through anything – just sit.”
Lopez’s split from Affleck, 53, marked her fourth divorce in roughly 27 years.
She previously stated that she felt like her “whole f–king world exploded” after her marriage to the “Accountant” star ended.
However, that scary feeling ultimately helped the “Jenny from the Block” singer “figure [herself] out.”
“I needed to be home with my kids, and that was the priority at that time,” she shared. “I just got to the point where I was like, ‘What is going on with you?’ Because I couldn’t blame anybody else, because I don’t think that’s where the lesson is. And so I really wanted to figure myself out.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Lopez addressed the current status of her dating life.
“No. I’m not [seeing anyone]!” she responded, after Chang asked if she was “dating up a storm” now that she’s single. “God forbid, I don’t want to ruin anything!”
She continued, “It’s so nice right now. I’m so happy. It’s the best. I just feel really good right now. And that was the scary thing for me when I was younger. Like, I didn’t know if I could do that. I was always afraid to do that.”
Lopez clarified, however, that she is still “surrounded by love.”
“I am a mom of graduates this year who are going to college,” she said of her and ex-husband Marc Anthony’s 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme. “I am a showgirl and an entertainer and an actor. An entrepreneur. And I am happy. I am happy. And I am healthy. And I am grateful.”
As for how Lopez has kept busy in the two years since her and Affleck’s split, she has been focusing on her Up All Night residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Although the residency is scheduled to conclude on March 28, the “Atlas” actress still has some surprises in store for her countless fans.
“I wanted to have an orchestra on stage for this show, which I’ve never done,” she told Chang. “All of the songs are reimagined that way.”
Lopez concluded, “It’s a celebration. You have to cherish and live every single moment.”
The “Get Right” singer and Affleck’s relationship saga began when they met on the set of “Gigli” in 2002.
After getting engaged but then calling off their engagement in 2004, the pair reunited in 2021 and tied the knot in July 2022.
But two years later, on the second anniversary of a larger wedding reception they held in August 2022, Lopez filed for divorce from the “Air” star and cited April 26 of that year as their date of separation.
Their split was finalized in January 2025, but they later reunited for the premiere of “Kiss of the Spider Woman” in New York City in October 2025.
Besides Affleck from 2022 to 2025 and Anthony from 2004 to 2014, Lopez was also married to actor Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998 and actor Chris Judd from 2001 to 2003.
“After my third divorce, that’s when I really started getting good at it,” Lopez joked during her Las Vegas residency on March 6 regarding her four failed marriages.

Demi Moore Sparks ‘Ozempic Ears’ Accusations At 2026 Actor Awards
Demi’s Moore made a number of stunning transformations throughout her long acting career. Although Moore’s been working steadily since the 1980s, she gained important critical recognition with a 2025 Oscar nomination for “The Substance.” Soon after, Moore’s role as Cami Miller on the popular “Landman” series thrust the actor even further into the spotlight.
Moore’s long been the subject of plastic surgery rumors, and all this new attention has caused people to scrutinize Moore’s appearance even more. After she stepped out in a body-hugging outfit at a fashion show, people jumped to the conclusion that the “Landman” star is using Ozempic. When Moore appeared at the March 2026 Actor Awards (previously the Screen Actors Guild Awards), it was another opportunity for the rumor mill to start churning. Rather than claims about weight loss drugs affecting her face or neck, critics zeroed in on Moore’s ears. “Botched ozempic ears,” claimed one poster on X. “Losing all that weight made her ears massive,” asserted another.
However, by comparing a photo of Moore from 1989 with her 2026 awards show pic, it’s clear that these claims are ridiculous. Moore’s ears look essentially the same. While her ears are a standout feature, the actor’s hairstyle makes a big difference. When her hair is in a pixie cut or pulled back, Moore’s ears are much more noticeable than when they are partially covered by long, loose strands. Also, Moore’s dangly earrings create the illusion of larger ears.
Moore’s ears were on full display when she shaved her head
Although Demi Moore’s slicked-back ‘do seems like a radical departure from her signature long hair, the actor has sported plenty of shorter cuts throughout her career. Around the time of “GI Jane,” Moore even made a dramatic reveal of her shaved head during a David Letterman appearance.
Ozempic rumors aside, it’s possible that Moore’s ears could have changed slightly over time. “While significant weight loss can affect the appearance of the ears to some extent, the aging process and heavy earrings tend to have a more significant impact, particularly in older individuals,” Dr. Mark Murphy informed Allure. In Moore’s case, she seems to have a preference for bold statement earrings, so depending on their weight and how often she wears them, it’s possible her jewelry could have an impact.
Beyond her ears, it seems Moore’s changing appearance is causing fans to concoct all kinds of theories. For instance, one person was concerned that Moore’s appearance was connected to the difficulties of dealing with Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis. The former couple shares three children, and their daughter, Rumer Willis, shared a particularly bittersweet update on Bruce’s condition in late 2025. Others were worried about Moore’s health, especially those who felt her feet looked swollen in her pointy high heels. As Moore herself has noted, past health issues have affected her weight, like when a combination of professional pressure and a bout of shingles caused Moore to lose 20 pounds.

Jim Carrey Reflects on French Roots at Rare César Honor Appearance
The Truman Show star Jim Carrey made a rare public appearance at the 51st César Awards in Paris on Thursday evening to receive an Honorary César Award.
The actor, who stepped back from the limelight of late, teared up as director Michel Gondry recalled their collaboration on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and looked touched when actor Emmanuel Curtil, who is the official French voice of Carrey, begged him not to leave the profession.
Carrey delivered a highly accented acceptance speech in French as he received the rectangle block shaped trophy, recalling how his great-great-great-grandfather Marc-François Carrey had emigrated from the French port city of Saint Malo for Canada, while he himself had then travelled onto Los Angeles.
“About three hundred years ago, my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Marc François Carrey, left Saint-Malo in France for Canada. Tonight, with this magnificent honor, this ‘square’ has come full circle,” he said. “Perhaps this is what my family was looking for.
hank you to the funniest man I have ever known: my father, Percy Joseph Carrey, who taught me the value of love, generosity, and laughter. If you want fortune to smile upon you, smile upon it first. It is very difficult, but we must try. I will always cherish this memory. I will always smile at this memory.My life is paradise,” he continued, concluding: “So, how was my French? Mediocre, right?”
Carrey follows in a long line of illustrious César honorees which include Julia Roberts (2025), Christopher Nolan (2024), David Fincher (2023) Cate Blanchett (2022), Robert Redford (2019) and George Clooney (2017).
The once prolific actor who broke onto the big screen in 1994 with a trio of box office topping hit films – Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber – has slowed down the pace in recent years and also taken up painting.
In 2022, he suggested he was considering retiring from acting but then backtracked on the suggestion to reprise his Dr. Robotnik role in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 2024.
