  • Leah Remini And Jennifer Lopez Survive Car Crash

    On Saturday, actress Leah Remini and her good friend Jennifer Lopez were driving around Malibu, California when a driver rear-ended their vehicle at around 8 PM. Although Remini, Lopez and Lopez’s children Max and Emme were reportedly shaken by the incident, they all emerged unharmed.

    Remini had been driving Lopez’s SUV on the Pacific Coast Highway with her friend in the front seat and Max and Emme in the back on Saturday evening. Police told E! News that a small pickup truck driven by a man suspected to be drunk suddenly rammed into the rear end of Lopez’s SUV. Los Angeles county Sheriff’s Sgt. Brooks said that the incident happened as Remini stopped the vehicle at a traffic light near the 22700 block of the Pacific Coast Highway. No one in the vehicle Remini was driving was injured, according to police.

    Remini and the driver of the pickup truck reportedly alighted from their vehicles to discuss the minor damage and exchange information, but the man suddenly got back into his truck and attempted to speed away. The driver was reportedly pulled over by deputies a few miles away from the scene and arrested on suspicion for hit and run as well as driving under the influence.

    Lopez shared a photo taken shortly before the accident on Instagram and captioned it with a description of what happened at the accident. It shows Remini in the driver’s seat of her SUV and posing for the camera. “Sitting at a light, Riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip!!! Thank god everyone ok!!! #GRATEFUL #THANKYOUGOD #DontdrinkandDrive!!!! #cursedthatfoolout #theBronxcameout #dontmesswithmycocnuts #mamabear #leahstayedcalm #thatwasweird,” Lopez wrote. Apparently, Remini had stayed calm throughout the ordeal, according to Lopez.

    Remini, who is originally from Brooklyn, New York, and Lopez, who is from the Bronx, have been good friends for years.

  • Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini Hit By Drunk Driver

    Jennifer Lopez says she is very grateful after being involved in a scary accident over the weekend.

    Lopez and her close friend Leah Remini, a former scientology member and King of Queens star, were stopped at a traffic light along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California when they were rear-ended by a drunk driver.

    Lopez later posted a photo on Instagram of her and Remini right before the crash took place.

    “Sitting at a light, Riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip!!! Thank god everyone ok!!! #GRATEFUL #THANKYOUGOD #DontdrinkandDrive!!!! #cursedthatfoolout #theBronxcameout #dontmesswithmycocnuts #mamabear #leahstayedcalm #thatwasweird,” Lopez captioned the Instagram photo.

    The group was headed to a Demi Lovato concert and had Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, six, and Remini’s daughter Sofia, ten, in the backseat when the vehicles collided.

    “These three cuties make my day!! #Coconuts #Sofia #lunchwthekiddies #bigpimpin’ #brooklynindahouse,” Lopez captioned a photo of the kids posing in the backseat.

    According to Entertainment Tonight, a male driver driving a pick-up truck rear-ended the group while they were stopped at a red light. The man then sped away from the scene.

    Accoridng to the Malibu Police Department, Lopez and Remini called the authorities, who later tracked him down and confirmed that he was under the influence of alcohol. The man was then arrested for DUI and hit-and-run charges.

    Luckily, no one was injured during the accident.

  • Leah Remini, Jennifer Lopez Hit by Alleged Drunk Driver

    Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez were involved in an alleged drunk driving accident in Malibu on Saturday, when a presumably intoxicated driver rear ended the car Remini was driving. Lopez was in the passenger seat. Her children–twins Max and Emme–and Leah Remini’s daughter Sofia were all in the backseat at the time of the crash. The alleged drunk driver fled the scene following the crash. Fortunately neither the former King of Queens star nor any of her passengers were injured in the crash.

    TMZ reports that law enforcement officials confirmed that the alleged drunk driver fled the accident scene. J Lo reportedly used a few choice words to describe the driver as she called 911 to both report the accident and describe the vehicle that hit them. She then shared a photo of herself with Leah Remini on Instagram and described the situation to her followers.

    “Sitting at a light, Riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip!!! Thank god everyone ok!!! #GRATEFUL #THANKYOUGOD #DontdrinkandDrive!!!! #cursedthatfoolout #theBronxcameout #dontmesswithmycocnuts #mamabear #leahstayedcalm #thatwasweird,” she captioned the shot.

    It seems the ‘Booty’ singer was letting Leah Remini drive her new car. Remini, however, was completely content to concentrate on the good in her day rather than on the alleged drunk driver who hit them. She reposted a photo of Jennifer Lopez’s twins, along with her ten-year-old daughter Sofia riding in the backseat.

    “#Repost from @jlo with @repostapp — These three cuties make my day!! #Coconuts #Sofia #lunchwthekiddies #bigpimpin’ #brooklynindahouse,” she captioned the photo.

    Fortunately no one was injured or worse during the alleged drunk driving crash that involved Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez, as well as their children. This certainly could have turned out much worse. Hopefully states will continue to crack down on their drunk driving laws. Too many people die on America’s roads each year as a result of their careless actions.

    It’s unknown thus far if the alleged drunk driver who hit Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez has been apprehended. It will be interesting to learn what–if any–legal action can be taken if and when he or she is caught.

  • Jennifer Lopez’s “Booty” Video: Empowering Or Desperate?

    With a title like “Booty”, perhaps we shouldn’t have been surprised that the very first thing that greets our eyes is a shot of Jennifer Lopez’s voluptuous rear end.

    It’s only fair that we see a booty in a video where that’s the name of the song.

    But there are just some things one is not prepared for.

    Lopez and Iggy Azelea grinding on each other booty-to-booty as the words “you got a big booty” are repeated over and over again?

    Most definitely one of those things I was not prepared for.

    The result was unintended laughter.

    Not that it matters; I doubt anyone associated with this song and video expected it to be taken seriously.

    It’s perfectly clear that this music video was all about big booties and showing as much butt crack as possible. By all means, watch it for yourself and then try to tell me I’m exaggerating. I dare you:

    I honestly expected Nicki Minaj to emerge twerking from the rafters at some point.

    The theme and sound of this video isn’t too dissimilar from the recently released Anaconda.

    Had Minaj made a guest appearance, I doubt anyone would have been remotely shocked.

    While it’s great for women with large derrieres that it is once again “socially acceptable” to be anything other than FLAT at the back (the 80’s were apparently especially tragic in this regard…), one can’t help but worry that pop culture has gotten carried away about women’s booties.

    What was supposed to be a trend signaling the love of the feminine form now seems to signal a sneaky way to denigrate womanhood and reduce it along with female artistry to the discussion of their asses and how perky or real they are.

    Is Jennifer Lopez just proud of her rear or is this a sad attempt at staying relevant in a market where everything at the moment seems to about the physicality of a singer rather than her talent?

    We grownups know or should all know that there is more to a truly sensual woman than the size and shape of her rear end.

    Which is why there’s really nothing else to be said about a woman’s ass at this point….Except that maybe someday we’ll allow women to escape ever only being a piece of one in the eyes of greater society.

    I won’t hold my breath though.

    Jennifer Lopez’s outrageous video “Booty” has managed over 15,000,000 views within a two day period.

    Sure, sex sells; nothing new or surprising there.

    Does Jennifer Lopez’s Video Go Too Far Or Is The “Booty” Trend Here To Stay? Comment Below!

  • Jennifer Lopez Gives Nicki Minaj Performance The Cold Shoulder At Fashion Rocks 2014

    Singer Jennifer Lopez was noticeably indifferent to Nicki Minaj’s performance of her single “Anaconda” at Fashion Rocks 2014 on Tuesday. Her reaction has reportedly caused speculation on whether a feud exists between the two bootylicious performers. Lopez and Minaj both performed at the event in Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and both their songs were about butts.

    One theory discussed by HollywoodLife.com is that Lopez was not pleased because her ex-boyfriend Casper Smart was the choreographer for Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” video and her Fashion Rocks performance. However, a source told the site that Lopez’s beef with Minaj stems from issues concerning the top reality TV series American Idol.

    “Nobody at American Idol likes Nicki Minaj, there is story after story on how difficult she was during her tenure and JLo has heard it all. And JLo is mad at Nicki for it and her role in bringing down the show when she was on it, especially since it was JLo’s show beforehand,” said the source.

    The source added that Lopez knew that audiences were turned off by American Idol when Minaj was on the show and that the Latina singer has made it her mission to bring the fun back to it. “So the beef people caught onto is based on all things Idol and not Casper,” said the source.

    Lopez also performed her new single “Booty” at Fashion Rocks, bringing with her an entourage of wiggling derrieres onstage. She wore a very short sparkly dress, which she raised during the performance to show a high-cut silver-sequined bikini that revealed her almost-nude butt.

    Earlier that evening on the red carpet, she wore a dress that had slightly more coverage but was no less sexy than the one she wore for her performance. Her elegant dress was a slinky black number made by Atelier Versace with gold-plated detail, cut-outs and a thigh-high split.

  • Jennifer Lopez Tells Chelsea Handler She Would Marry Again, For A Fourth Time

    In an appearance on Chelsea Lately last Thursday, Jennifer Lopez revealed that she was open to getting married for the fourth time in her life if she met the right guy. The singer, who recently celebrated her 45th birthday, was asked by host Chelsea Handler about her “romantic gameplan” and if marriage was in the future for her.

    “I would get married again. Why not?” replied Lopez. “I like being in a relationship, I do. I’m not one to whore around and stuff like that, that’s not my thing.”

    Her lovelife is one of the most-watched in Hollywood, with Lopez having been married thrice before and dating high-profile celebrities in between. She was married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, to dancer Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003, and 10 years to Marc Anthony, with whom she had her now six-year-old twins Emme and Max. Meanwhile, her list of celebrity boyfriends includes music mogul P. Diddy, actor Ben Affleck and dancer Casper Smart, whom she dated from 2011 until a few months ago.

    Handler also approached Lopez about the topic of dating younger guys, since her last boyfriend was Smart, who is 27 years old. The singer said, “I dated one younger guy. My last boyfriend.” When asked if she had no preference for younger men, Lopez replied, “I just go on a connection with a person. I don’t really plan things out, they just happen. I need to plan better.”

    She then brushed the topic aside, saying, “You know what, I don’t want to put that out in the universe. It’s easy, whatever. It’s gonna happen. I don’t know. Let’s not talk about it.”

    The topic came about while Lopez was asked by Handler about her new movie, The Boy Next Door, which is set to be released in January 2015. In the R-rated film, Lopez plays a woman who has an affair with a teenager played by actor Ryan Guzman.

  • Casper Smart Seen Driving With J.Lo; Are They Back Together?

    On Monday, back-up dancer Casper Smart was spotted driving a BMW in Los Angeles with his famous ex, pop superstar Jennifer Lopez, in the front seat. The sighting is sparking rumors that Smart is trying to win J.Lo back since they broke up in June after he allegedly cheated on her with a transsexual, which Smart denied.

    Smart was seen hanging out with Lopez and driving around in a white BMW convertible. However, when the couple arrived at Lopez’s house, photographers were waiting to snap pictures, causing her to duck out of view.

    A source told Hollywoodlife.com that Smart is doing what he can to win J.Lo back. “Casper is aware of his mistakes and is doing everything to make it up to J.Lo. He is being the same guy he’s always been to her, which she is happy with. The way things are working out is currently so far so good,” they said.

    According to the source, Lopez hasn’t gotten over Smart, preferring to return things to how they once were with him and not start a new relationship. Her six-year-old twins with Marc Anthony, Emme and Max, supposedly keep asking about Smart, and the former couple stayed in touch after the split and “remained friendly.” The source further revealed that the two were “working out their differences to hopefully rekindle their romance, or to at least work together again.”

    E! News reported, however, that Smart and Lopez were just friends with “nothing romantic going on between the two of them.”

    “He still loves her and cares about the kids. Nothing has really changed since they split regarding their relationship and nothing romantic is going on,” a source told E! News.

    Lopez has been rumored to be dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy of Dancing With The Stars, who was seen by the singer’s side as she celebrated her 45th birthday in the Hamptons.

  • Selena Gomez: Teen Choice ‘Ultimate Choice’

    Selena Gomez is set to follow in the footsteps of celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Reese Witherspoon, and Britney Spears, according to MTV. She will reportedly be the recipient of the 2014 Teen Choice Awards ‘Ultimate Choice Award’ on Sunday.

    The award will be given to the off-again, on-again girlfriend of Justin Bieber, singer, and actress in recognition of her “contributions to the entertainment world.”

    Those contributions are fairly long, too, considering Selena Gomez is only 22 years old. For many years she starred in Disney Channel’s The Wizards of Waverly Place, in which she played beloved character Alex Russo. Since then she has starred in films including Spring Breakers, alongside pal Vanessa Hudgens, and in Getaway with Ethan Hawke. She voiced the character Mavis in Hotel Transylvania and is set to reprise the role in Hotel Transylvania 2 in 2015.

    Then, of course, there’s Selena Gomez’s music career. And while it never hit the level of Justin Bieber’s, the ‘Come & Get It’ singer definitely made quite a name for herself there as well. Her 2013 album Stars Dance made an impressive climb up the music charts. She is presently working on her second solo record.

    It hasn’t been an easy year for Selena Gomez. Don’t forget earlier in 2014 she spent two voluntary weeks at a treatment center for undisclosed issues. Then, of course, there’s all that Justin Bieber drama. None of that has stood in the way of the Teen Choice Awards organizers with regard to her being the recipient of this prestigious award, however.

    The 2014 Teen Choice Awards will feature presenters including Jennifer Lopez. Taylor Swift will reportedly be on hand, as will The Fault in Our Stars star Ansel Elgort. Ariana Grande will make an appearance, too.

    Will you be tuning in to the 2014 Teen Choice Awards live on Sunday evening at 8 P.M. EST on your local Fox station? If so you can join thousands of excited fans as they cheer on Selena Gomez when she is presented with the Ultimate Choice Award.

  • Jennifer Lopez Stuns Instagram With Bikini Pic

    Jennifer Lopez and pal Leah Remini have been relaxing on vacation together recently, and the photos they’ve been sharing on Instagram have caught the attention of fans who are impressed with the singer’s enviable bikini body.

    The 44-year old was snapped poolside by Remini, who, according to Lopez, shouted “Don’t move!” when she spotted her friend in a sexy pose. She also captured her in a red suit, her face in profile.

    “Can you be ugly once? Just be normal once!” Remini said on a video she posted to the image sharing site.

    The friends have been relaxing in the Hamptons as part of a 45th birthday celebration for Lopez, but she’ll be back at work soon promoting her eighth album. After a physically taxing tour and a breakup, Lopez said earlier this year that she still feels good.

    “My bones don’t hurt. I feel great. I actually feel better, more confident,” she said.

    Lopez held a free show in the Bronx last month, the first she’d ever played in the place where she got her start. Some 20,000 fans went wild for the performance, and Lopez called it a “dream come true”.

    “This is such an amazing moment for me, I’m so happy to be home. Doing this tonight is honestly a dream come true for me,” she said.

  • Leah Remini and BFF Jennifer Lopez Relax at Pool

    Leah Remini and bestie Jennifer Lopez recently hit up the pool together and posted the photographic evidence on J.Lo’s Instagram.

    “Jen asked me to meet up by the pool, right,” Remini says in the video. “Here’s me – normal, look at this one. Head wrap. Jewelry. Can you be ugly once?! Can you be normal once?! You’re such a jerk off!”

    “What?” is J.Lo’s innocent response.

    She starts to laugh and then Remini launches a mock attack on her friend.

    Lopez posted the video on Instagram with the following caption:

    “Attacked at my own damn pool by @leahremini! #summerfun #besties #canubenormal #noIcant #gottakeepitsexy #familia”

    Remini and Lopez have been friends for a while now.

    Remini has said that Lopez supported her during her highly publicized exit from Scientology last summer.

    J.Lo confirmed it during a March 21 appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

    “Yeah, it was a tough moment for her. You know what I mean? It’s all she knew her whole life,” Lopez said. “When you’re raised a certain way and around people for a long time – whatever that is – it’s going to be hard.”

    “We’re best friends.”

    Remini, who is best known for her work on King of Queens where she starred as Carrie Heffernan from 1998 to 2007, isn’t afraid to address her decision to leave Scientology on her new reality show Leah Remini: It’s All Relative.

    “My mother got involved when we were very young, so it’s all we really ever knew,” Remini said, echoing J.Lo’s comments to Degeneres. “But over time, my eyes opened and I could no longer be affiliated with the organization.”

    The two friends recently returned from a trip to The Hamptons. While there, it was Lopez who caught Remini on video, secretly recording her friend jamming to a Jay-Z song that was playing on the radio while they were in the car together.

  • Jennifer Lopez Shows Off Perky Posterior At iHeartRadio Show

    Jennifer Lopez has all the right to show off her sexy body and that’s just what she did on Saturday night when she performed at the iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party in Miami Beach.

    The 44-year-old singer wore a colorful bodysuit covered up with a jacket, and stockings that had a gaping hole near the butt area. She then stripped off her jacket and revealed her toned arms. It is not clear whether the stockings were ripped by accident or on purpose. Despite the big hole on her buttocks, Lopez continued her energy-pumped performance.

     

    Earlier in the day, Lopez was seen rehearsing with the rest of her dancers. She was wearing a black cropped-top, which showed off her tight stomach, paired with knee-length leggings. Organizers of the show said that Lopez’s mother was present and danced to all of her daughter’s songs. Other performers present were Lil Jon, Iggy Azalea, and Ariana Grande. The event was hosted by Nick Cannon.

    Lopez shed 10 pounds with her rigorous dance workouts and vegan diet. In April, Lopez sought help from exercise physiologist Marco Borges, who also helps other stars such as Pharrell Williams, Shakira, Gwen Stefani, Jay Z, and Beyonce. “You got to work out, you got to watch what you eat. It’s a job – you’ve got to buckle down. I feel great mentally and physically!” Lopez told US Weekly. With her strict diet and exercise, she is now down to a size two from a size four in a span of just five weeks.

    To support her, Lopez’s family, including her six-year-old twins Max and Emme went vegan. Lopez started touring in May to promote her eighth album entitled A.K.A. She has been treating her fans to show-stopping performances in Connecticut and New York. She also performed at the World Cup opening ceremony.

  • Maks And Meryl Dating Rumors Die Down, But Here Comes J.Lo

    Maksim Chmerkovskiy has been the topic of headlines the past few weeks. He has been linked to several ladies such as Meryl Davis, Kate Upton, and now Jennifer Lopez.

    “I just flew in literally, and I read about this. Those are big names, I’m flattered… I just don’t think that’s anybody’s business,” he said.

    Last week, Lopez and Chmerkovskiy were seen hanging out on a Saturday night at The Shrine Club in Connecticut. The pictures that came out revealed how close the two were, and they could have easily been mistaken as a couple.

    An insider also said that Lopez and Chmerkovskiy were “flirty” during the entire night. “They partied and seemed really at ease together,” the source said. The two met last November at the American Music Awards.

    “What would you like me to say? I’m not dating J.Lo, Meryl or Kate. Maybe I’m dating all three, who knows!” Chmerkovskiy said.

    TMZ also stopped Chmerkovskiy on the road and asked him how things are with J.Lo. He responded by saying that it’s “going great.” However, he may have said that just to get rid of the paparazzi and be on his way.

    When asked about Davis, his partner in Dancing with the Stars, he said “I love Meryl. We’re friends and we’ll always be.” However, he also explained that his personal life “won’t be anybody’s business.” Davis and Chmerkovskiy have been the subject of romance rumors since they won Dancing with the Stars. However, both parties have always denied that there is something romantic going on between them.

    As for his future on Dancing with the Stars he said, “I just don’t think I want to do the show again as a dancer. I wouldn’t be able to do it again at this level, with that big of an emotional output.”

  • ‘American Idol’ Judges and Host to Return

    American Idol will see the return of all of last season’s judges as well as longtime host Ryan Seacrest for its upcoming 14th season of the singing competition. Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick Jr. will all resume their familiar roles with yet another round of contestants.

    “I am thrilled our consummate host, Mr. Ryan Seacrest, is returning for Season 14, together with Jennifer, Harry and Keith,” American Idol creator and executive producer Simon Fuller said Monday in a statement. “Their interaction, warmth and experience made them an absolute joy to watch. I can’t wait to see their evolution together continue next season.”

    Sources say the return of these mainstays for the show will bring it some ‘stability’ in light of the overhauls the show has made in the judge’s seats for a few consecutive seasons. Will this help them, however, as they still try to compete for ratings with The Voice on NBC? They had hoped that bringing back Jennifer Lopez for season 13 and bringing ‘nice guy’ Harry Connick, Jr. on board might do that all by itself but that simply wasn’t to be. In fact the show hit an all time low in the ratings race on May 21st when the season 13 finale was aired.

    Even though numbers dwindled a bit this past season for The Voice, even with the antics of Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as well as the addition of judges Shakira and Usher, they are still miles ahead of American Idol. What might the show do to further compete with The Voice?

    Do you prefer American Idol over The Voice or is it the other way around–or are you not a fan of either of the singing competitions? Do you think the return of Ryan Seacrest as host and Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick Jr. as judges will be a plus for the floundering show?

  • Jennifer Lopez: Divorce from Marc Anthony Finalized

    Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are finally officially divorced. Of course most people likely thought that had long since taken place but it hadn’t. The couple’s divorce was only finalized on Monday nearly three years after the two separated. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John Sandoz both finalized the divorce and awarded Anthony and JLo joint custody of their twins Max and Emme.

    According to sources, Jennifer Lopez will have physical custody of the twins most of the time. Anthony will have the six-year-olds seven days per month. Neither will pay child or spousal support to the other.

    Anthony finally settled a long dispute with his former ex-wife Dayanara Torres, and he didn’t walk away nearly as easily. He has been ordered by a judge to pay her $26,800 per month is child support.

    Marc Anthony filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez back in April of 2012, but the two had split up in July of 2011. Lopez recently split from boy toy Casper Smart, a young man 18 years her junior, after having dated/lived with him for almost three years. He was one of her back up dancers when they first started seeing one another.

    Marc Anthony’s most recent Spanish album–called ‘3.0,’ has been a huge hit. Jennifer Lopez has a new album called ‘A.K.A.’ that was just released this week. She is presently making the late night talk show rounds, chatting about her new record and her recent break up. Nothing has been said about her divorce from Marc Anthony, however. It seems that’s really water under the bridge.

    Were you among those who believed Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were already long since divorced? It would certainly be interesting to poll a group of both his and JLo’s fans to see if they realized that up until this past Monday that the two were still legally married.

  • Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart: Relationship Over

    Jennifer Lopez and her boy toy Casper Smart have parted ways. Sources say the relationship has actually been over for about two months, although the two only admitted to that publicly in recent days. They were together for about three years.

    The age difference between Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez long made fans and the media question the validity of their romance. After a year, however, the back up dancer and the superstar seemed perfectly settled into a domestic and at times very sexy romantic routine.

    Jenny from the Block performed in her old neighborhood on Wednesday in the Bronx, providing her old friends and neighbors with a free 90-minute show that met everyone’s long-awaited expectations. It was the first time the singer, dancer, and actress had returned to her old neighborhood to perform. Casper Smart was conspicuously absent at JLo’s homecoming, fueling recent rumors that the two had in fact split up.

    Despite their reported split of a couple of months ago it seems they made nice for the cameras so that word didn’t escape before their official announcement. The two walked the red carpet together for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 18th and they walked hand-in-hand following the taping of the American Idol finale on the 20th. Rumors flew last week about Smart’s involvement with transsexual bikini model Sofie Vissa after Vissa claimed she and Casper exchanged racy photos via text messages. Smart denied the claims.

    “Casper does not know this person, has never met this person, has never seen this person and most importantly never has communicated with this person via direct message or in any other manner,” a source for Lopez’s ex said.

    Prior to her relationship with Casper Smart, who is 18 years younger than Jennifer Lopez, the singer was married to singer Marc Anthony. The two are parents to 6-year-old twins Max and Emme.

    Is anyone really surprised about this split that was officially announced on Friday? Yes, Casper Smart likely loves Jennifer Lopez and her children “dearly” as one source reports, but she is 18 years his senior and it’s not often that relationships like that–especially those playing out in the media spotlight–succeed.

    Kudos to both of them for keeping things amicable and for trying to keep any messiness–if it did in fact exist–to themselves.

    Now that Jennifer Lopez is once again a single woman, who might her next love interest be?

  • Casper Smart and J.Lo Still Together, For Now

    If J.Lo can’t keep her man from sexting others behind her back, there’s not much hope for the rest of us.

    Jennifer Lopez’s boyfriend Casper Smart has allegedly been sending Instagram photos and steamy messages to other women. One of the juiciest parts of the story is that the recipients are allegedly transsexual models.

    These texting allegations hit the couple just a few months after sources state the actress/singer and her former backup dancer went through “a rough patch.” You can’t help but wonder if this latest bad news will take its toll on the relationship.

    A source told People magazine that the couple is still together, “technically,” but is unsure for how much longer they will remain a duo.

    The always busy Lopez visited the Bronx this past Sunday to promote the Center for Healthy Childhood at the Montefiore Medical Center, which received $250,000 from her Lopez Family Foundation. She’s also gearing up to perform a free concert today at Pelham Bay Park.

    Unfortunately, Smart’s alleged texting has overshadowed the singer’s events.

    Rumors of Smart’s indiscretions began when transgender bikini model Sofie Vissa told news sources that she shared intimate Instagram messages with Smart, and claimed she had screen shots of their conversations to prove it. She also alleged that she had naked pictures of the dancer, according to thedirty.com editor Nik Richie, who was the first to expose the Anthony Weiner texting scandal.

    The latest transgendered female model to make the accusations is Xristina Marie.

    So far, neither Lopez nor Smart have commented on the rumors, however, a source states that the singer is over it.

    “Jennifer is getting tired of all these allegations,” says the source. “She doesn’t need this drama and is ready to move on.”

  • Jennifer Lopez Launches Childrens Center, Releases “First Love” Video

    Jennifer Lopez has had a busy week. First she traveled to the Bronx where she launched the Healthy Childhood Center at Montefiore’s Community Health Fair and talked about the center and its purpose.

    The center is meant to promote healthy living through community health programming, positive messages to raise children’s self-image and a healthy environment so every woman, child and family can achieve their full potential.

    Not only did Lopez speak at the health fair, but the Lopez Family Foundation made a $250,000 donation to Montefiore as well.

    The community was extremely grateful for the donation as was Montefiore.

    “We are proud to partner with Jennifer, Lynda and the entire Lopez Family Foundation to make a positive impact on the lives and futures of families in the Bronx,” said Steven M. Safyer, M.D., president and CEO, Montefiore. “Montefiore’s work with the Lopez Family Foundation will begin by improving vital education, understanding and access to healthy eating and exercise. It is only through partnerships like this that we can ensure every child has a healthy and nurturing childhood to achieve their full potential.”

    Jennifer Lopez donates to a lot of charities, but she favors neighborhoods, schools, organizations and other charities in the Bronx, where she once lived.

    Lynda Lopez spoke about the Lopez Family Foundation’s donation saying,

    “We love having the opportunity to offer resources that mothers, children and families in the Bronx need for better access to healthcare, health information and health education,” said Lynda Lopez. “The Lopez Family Foundation is passionate about the health and well-being of mothers and children, and we’re excited the Center for a Healthy Childhood will go deep into the community to provide needed support – whether it’s to educate about childhood nutrition, physical activity, emotional and intellectual engagement on health, or healthy pregnancies and motherhood.”

    This week Jennifer Lopez also released a new music video for her song First Love.

    The video was directed by Anthony Mandler and Lopez’s style in the video is very reminiscent of a ’90s Versace supermodel. In the video she wears a cutout swimsuit, a fitted gown paired with gold platform heels and her hair is styled in a messy 90’s style.

    Lopez has often talked about how much she loves the fashion and styles from the 90’s and her video was a great way for her to show off her look and some of her favorite clothing pieces.

  • Leah Remini Says Leaving Scientology Made Her Family Stronger

    Leah Remini recently told Ellen DeGeneres that leaving Scientology has made her family stronger.

    Remini appeared on Ellen on Wednesday to discuss the new reality series she’s starring in along with her family. The 12-episode half-hour docuseries will premiere on TLC this summer.

    Not surprisingly, Remini’s highly-publicized departure from the Church of Scientology tied into the discussion:

    “We’re learning new ways to reconnect with each other, so it really has brought us closer together,” Remini told DeGeneres. “We’re stronger and we’re having so much fun together and this is something that the family loves to do.”

    Remini left Scientology last summer, after having been a member of the often-controversial church for over 30 years.

    Remini’s defection from the church caused a relative uproar, with church leaders and high profile members such as Kirstie Alley speaking out against Remini.

    “In my house, it’s family first – but I was spending most of my time at the church. So I was saying ‘family first,’ but I wasn’t showing that. I didn’t like the message that sent my daughter….In the church, you’re taught that everybody is lost,” Remini has said of her decision. “They say they’re loving, caring, nonjudgmental people, but secretly, they were judging the world for not believing what they believed. To me, that is not a spiritual person. That’s a judgmental person, and that is the person that I was. I was a hypocrite, and the worst thing you can be in this world is a hypocrite.”

    Remini has a nine-year-old daughter, Sofia Bella, with her husband of ten years, Angelo Pagán.

    “It all began when Leah questioned the validity of excommunication of people,” a source said in July 2013. “She is stepping back from a regime she thinks is corrupt. She thinks no religion should tear apart a family or abuse someone under the umbrella of ‘religion.’”

    Remini was reportedly chastised back in 2006 – at the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes – for asking where church leader David Miscavige’s wife Shelly was.

    Remini grew increasingly concerned about Shelly, eventually filing a missing persons report on her behalf in August 2013. At that point, Shelly Miscavige hadn’t been seen in public for six years.

    The church condemned the filing of the report as “ill-advised, ludicrous self-promotion” and the Los Angeles Police Department eventually ruled that the report was “unfounded” and closed the case.

    “I wish to share my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming positive response I have received from the media, my colleagues, and from fans around the world. I am truly grateful and thankful for all your support,” Remini said in a statement last July.

    One of the colleagues who supported Remini’s decision to leave Scientology was fellow actress and close friend Jennifer Lopez, whom Remini was once accused of trying to convert to the religion.

  • Jennifer Lopez To Release First Book In October

    Jennifer Lopez is the latest celebrity to write a tell-all book, documenting her struggles and triumphs in life.

    The book, titled True Love, is due out in October, and has been something that Lopez has put her heart and soul into.

    “What’s funny is, I didn’t start off the project wanting to bare my soul in print,” Lopez told PEOPLE, while backstage at the Billboard Music Awards, where she was the first female recipient of the Icon Award.

    “It started off as a diary of the year I went on tour … and when I was on the road, it became something else,” she explained. “I really surprised myself, and I realized, ‘Oh my god, I’m writing this book.’ ”

    Lopez admits that she was very apprehensive about letting people into her personal life, and telling the things that she has kept private for so long, including details about her divorce from Mark Anthony. She said that she finally decided to go forward with the book, after realizing that she may be able to help others who are dealing, or have dealt with, the same issues she has.

    “Even to this day, I think, ‘Do I put this book out there?’ ” she said. “I did a lot of soul searching and praying, because I don’t ever want it to be mistaken for anything other than it was, which is sharing something I learned with people I could help.”

    “Writing True Love has been a deeply cathartic, personal, and vulnerable experience. If it were not for the love and courage given to me by my children, this story wouldn’t have been possible,” Lopez said, in a news release.

    “While I struggled with the decision of whether or not to release this book, I recognized that if it could touch even just one person then it would honestly become one of the most fulfilling endeavors of my life,” she added.

    The book will be released on October 28, 2014, and will be featured in both English and Spanish. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Lopez Family Foundation, which helps women and children with their overall well-being.

  • Iggy Azalea, Ariana Grande Rock the Billboard Music Awards

    Iggy Azalea pumped up the crowd at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday with her hit “Fancy” and shortly thereafter was joined on stage by Ariana Grande who performed her new release “Problem,” to which Azalea added her personal touch as well in her succinct rapid fire style. There’s no doubt when hearing these two perform–and seeing their solid presence on stage–that they’ll be making hits, both solo and together, for a long time to come.

    Ariana Grande debuted “Problem” at the Disney Music Awards on April 27th and by May 17th it was at the number three spot on Billboard’s Hot 100. It is the first single off her upcoming album–which is her second–that is due out this fall.

    Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” presently holds that number three spot on Billboard’s Hot 100. With Problem now in the number four spot Azalea is the first female rapper ever to have two songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 at the same time.

    Iggy and Jennifer Lopez competed for ‘hottest burgundy dress’ on the red carpet in what probably was on oversight on some stylist’s part. Each rocked very sexy burgundy gowns–although J Lo’s was far more revealing.

    Who do you think pulled off the hottest burgundy dress look?

    It was definitely a big night for all the performers at the Billboard Music Awards but Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande made what may become a monumental debut in the music world at this awards show. Yes, they had made music news before Sunday night, but this event may be the catalyst that knocks these two ladies into an even more successful career than either could have possibly imagined.

  • Jennifer Lopez Talks Split From Marc Anthony

    Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were married for nearly eight years before they made the decision to divorce in 2012.

    Since then, Lopez has moved on, but still calls that time in her life a “tremendous low.”

    “I went through a tremendous low,” Lopez told PEOPLE. “But I wouldn’t change anything [about my past] because it made me who I am.”

    While the divorce was incredibly hard on her, Lopez said she took the time to reevaluate her relationships. She was able to find herself again and enter another loving relationship with her now boyfriend Casper Smart. “As women we can sometimes give ourselves away,” she said. “I was certainly guilty of that for some time. Now I realize I am good on my own, so now I can share my life with somebody.”

    Lopez and Anthony had two children together while they were married 6-year-old twins Emme and Max, and Lopez credits them with teaching her how to love someone unconditionally.

    “I just feel like I went through a real growth spurt as a human being [when I became a mother],” Lopez added. “Having my babies allowed me to realize what real unconditional love was.”

    Lopez will become the first female to receive the Icon Award at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards May 18 on ABC, where she will be performing two songs. Lopez’s tenth studio album A.K.A. is scheduled to hit stores on June 17, and will feature the song First Love.
