From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

It may have been quiet on the Carpool Karaoke front for the past month but James Corden's popular Late Show segment has returned, this time with Jennifer Lopez in the passenger seat.

Having recently hit the high notes with Sia and duetted with Sir Elton John, the host welcomed the Bronx hailing singer, belting out some of her most well-known tunes in the process.

Early Noughties hits "Love Don't Cost a Thing" and "Jenny from the Block" both featured, as well as a particularly powerful version of Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven."

The duo also found time to talk about the subjects that made J-Lo a tabloid sensation, including the long-gestating rumour that she once insured her 'booty' for $27 million.

This particular Carpool Karaoke also solidified just how far Corden has wormed his way into the hearts of the rich and famous: taking Lopez's iPhone, the host cheekily scrolls through her contacts list before texting Leonardo DiCaprio.

'Hey baby,' Corden writes. 'I'm kind of feeling like I need to cut loose. Any suggestions, let me know. J. Lo (you know, from the block).'

Leo's reply? 'You mean tonight, boo boo? Club wise?'

Forget his Oscar-winning performance in The Revenant – this surely has to be the actor's defining moment.
