Oh! Oh! After Years Of Legal Battle, Court Rules That Ex-Husband Can Release Intimate Jennifer Lopez Home Video

Jennifer Lopez has had a great  year – She just ended a successful run as a judge on American Idol. Her sixth studio album was released earlier in the month. And she was named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman by People magazine last month. If all that weren’t enough, she ended up stealing the show with her butt shaking during the Idol finale this week.

It all looked like a charmed life for the 41-year old until bad news hit her from a Los Angeles courtroom Friday: Ojani Noa, her first husband from a marriage lasting only a few months in 1997, just won the legal right to release an intimate home video of J.Lo.

We don’t know if the footage includes any nudity – all we know is that it was shot while the two were married in 1997 and it’s bad enough that J.Lo has been fighting her ex for years to keep the tape private.  Apparently, a confidentiality agreement signed by Noa did just that until he found a loophole: J.Lo’s ex has recently sold the video to his current girlfriend, Claudia Vazquez, who is making plans to sell the tape through a distributor. And, per RadarOnline.com, a judge in the case has ruled that the plan is somehow legal.

Ed Meyer, an executive producer of the project told RadarOnline.com: “Claudia Vazquez has been allowed to release the home videos of Ojani and Jennifer.” He says the tape “will deal with JLo’s rise to fame, and her marriage to Ojani….Claudia will be meeting with video distributors on Tuesday, and hopefully, a deal can be made very soon.”

Got to love loopholes in the law…Poor J.Lo!

Ryan Reynolds: “I Don’t Think I Want To Get Married Again”

The Green Lantern star, Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson parted ways last December.  She’s since moved on with Sean Penn. He, on the other hand, has spent a lot of time reflecting on life.

Reynolds told Details magazine: “Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it. I’m not out of it yet. At all…and I don’t think I want to get married again.”

“Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up. I gotta say, I’m a different person than I was six months ago.”

“You always reevaluate these things, but I’m very happy not to be in a relationship right now. I didn’t plan on it, for sure, but that’s okay.”

He says dating “just seems so kind of alien to me at this point. I’ve been in relationships pretty much since high school.”

He also speaks well of his ex: “Departing a relationship and still maintaining the idea that this is still the same person I married is a great luxury that I experienced. Thankfully I was in a relationship where two people chose to remain on the high road in every regard.”

Ryan, somehow, I know things will be just fine in no time at all for the looker named Sexiest Man Alive just a few months ago..

Video: Lauren Alaina Interview: No, I Am Not Dating Scotty! (Photos)

SPOTTED: American Idol runner up, Lauren Alaina, was at The Grove in Los Angeles Thursday for an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra.

Lauren was there the morning after the finale. Mario asked Lauren what she whispered in Scotty’s ear before Ryan Seacrest announced the results. She said I asked him, “Are you ready to win? Cause you’re gonna win!” She also said the Idol process was a lot harder than she expected but it has prepared her for whatever lies in the future for her. For those of you wondering how her voice is, she said she is hoarse but other than sounding like a man for now, she’s doing great and will be fine.

I asked Lauren the big question on everyone’s mind: Is she dating Scotty McCreery? Here is her answer in this video:

Watch for her full interview on Extra Today!

Scotty McCreery Dating Lauren Alaina?

Right after Scotty McCreery was crowned the American Idol winner, he sang his first single in front of a live audience at Nokia.

While the cameras rolled, he walked up to and hugged his fellow finalist, Lauren Alaina. And the whole world heard it: “I love you baby!” Yes, those were the words uttered by the 17-year old Idol to Lauren.

As the confetti kept falling, we think we also saw Lauren plan a kiss on Scotty.

After it was all over, Entertainment Tonight asked Lauren if the two of them were involved in a romance. She answered, “he might be my boyfriend … ask him.”

So, ET did ask and Scotty said he is “still single,” although he did admit that they have “gotten really close, but I don’t know about the more than friends stuff.” 

I for one can tell you that I spotted the lovely duo having dinner together with their families at Cheesecake Factory right after the elimination results show narrowing the field down to three contestants. I think this is uber cute and hope it’s true!


UPDATE 5/26: I met Lauren today and asked her on camera if she is dating Scotty…here is her answer on video:
Watch the whole “I love you baby” and kiss from Idol finale unveil in Scotty’s rendition of I Love You This Big:
