UNTAGGED PIX BELOW"This morning I got to the studio around 11am. Jennifer Lopez was on her way and the studio was pretty quiet. The doors to the hall were closed. I was in Studio A with Rodney, JLo's manager, and her A&R who I had met last week.JLo came in the studio... white shirt and tight blue jeans. She hugged everyone and I said "hi", shook her hand, said I'm Michaela. She sat on the couch and Rodney was chatting with her, the vibes were really good. She said she was filming a movie and that if she had known this was Rodney's spot she would have already been in the studio. She looked at everybody while talking and was super down to earth and real. Tommy Parker came in and I thought he had met her before cause they were instantly talking Lol! Then Rodney introduced "This Cannot Be Love" and already I saw in JLo’s eyes--a flicker of interest, cause it fits with the concept of her album. As soon as she heard it she wanted the lyrics. So I went over to the computer and typed them up as the song was playing. She got up and came over to me and read the lyrics as I was typing them. She wanted to change a line in the pre hook... but she was genuinely feeling the song. She said it was a number 1 record and that if she weren't leaving to go film in NYC tomorrow, she would record it tomorrow. She pulled out notes from her purse, words that she wrote...they were personal stories. Rodney suggested she put them in her album jacket. She was really nice and open to everything we suggested. She wanted everything to be right, she wanted us to tweak "This Cannot Be Love" a little bit, add some things. But she made it clear that she didn't wanna change it too much cause she loved the writing. She was really into the song, like "gimme a video! Let’s go"...she got up and was reading the lyrics, singing them, dancing, analyzing the words, relating her life to them.She talked about how she was a movie star, mother, lover, wife, musician, etc- -- she looked at me and said "I don’t know how I keep up with it all!" Then I said, "like you work a double shift” and she hit me on the shoulder, “yeah!”It was great. Rodney was really happy. He said she was vibing well with Tommy and I."

Appeals Court Sides with J.Lo in Home Video Fight
LOS ANGELES, CA -- A California appeals court says a dispute between Jennifer Lopez and her first husband over the release of intimate home videos should be handled through arbitration, not the public court system. A ruling Friday by the 2nd District Court of Appeal states that a Los Angeles judge erred by not granting Lopez's request to move the case to arbitration. The ruling states Lopez has a valid agreement with ex-husband Ojani Noa and his agents preventing him from releasing "any private or intimate details" about the couple's relationship. Lopez and Noa wed in 1997. Their marriage lasted just 11 months. They have been fighting in court for nearly two years over Noa's plans to use portions of more than 11 hours of home videos of him and Lopez for a movie.
The videos, which both sides agree does not depict the singer and actress in sexual situations, have been blocked for release by a judge. Noa's agent, Ed Meyer, however threatened to release clips from the videos earlier this year, which prompted a judge to order them to be stored in a bank safe deposit box with restricted access in June. The court ordered Friday that Meyer is also subject to the arbitration provisions. He wrote in an email that he will appeal the ruling to the California Supreme Court. Noa's attorney, Christopher Lauria, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

Marc Anthony moves '2 doors away' from estranged wife Jennifer Lopez
Marc Anthony has moved out of the LA home he shared with American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez - but he hasn't gone far.
Following the couple's announcement that their marriage is over, Marc, who's dad to Jennifer's 3-year-old twins Max and Emme, is forking out £16,000 a month to rent a new bachelor pad.
'Marc has leased a fancy mansion 2 doors away,' a source tells the Daily Star.
'He wanted to be close to their kids.'
When J-Lo told Marc - her husband of seven years - that she wanted a divorce, his response wasn't quite what she expected.
The musician reportedly told his wife he'd 'move on as quickly as possible' - and it was then that shocked Jennifer, 42, knew there was no changing her mind.
'All she could say was: "Well, good luck to you both." It was the moment she knew their relationship had died,' reveals our exclusive source.
'She told me afterwords: "I realized at that point that he was never the love of my life."'

DELETE HAPPY J.LO TRASHES MARC!
"Right now Jennifer can’t even stand hearing Marc’s name!” revealed an insider.
"After seven years of marriage, the pair announced their split in mid-July.
And Jennifer – who’s fed up with Marc’s controlling, macho ways – wants to make a clean break, say sources.
The no-nonsense beauty has been refusing Marc’s desperate, repeated phone calls to make up.
She’s locked him out of their $10 million, 3-acre estate in Hidden Hills, Calif., thrown his leftover belongings into storage and won’t even allow him on the property, say sources.
“Jennifer has washed her hands of Marc,” said the insider.
“She’s trying to move on with her life as quickly as possible.
“She is deleting all of the voice mails Marc has been leaving, and she won’t answer his calls. Before going on a recent trip to Miami, she had his clothes, computer and other personal items packed up.
“Someone from Marc’s camp was supposed to pick up his things but never showed. So Jennifer instructed her assistant to rent storage near her home and dump all of Marc’s stuff there.”

JLo/Anthony split "Shocking" says Choreographer
Choreographer Liz Imperio has admitted that she was heartbroken to know about the split of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, as the last time she saw them together, it appeared they were deeply in love.“When I heard they broke up, I was shocked,” People’s Magazine quoted Imperio, who choreographed them during May’s American Idol finale, as saying.
“I was really taken aback,” she stated.
“It’s so heartbreaking to see this happen. What they had wasn’t a put-on. It wasn’t for show. It was honest. They were really respectful of each other and loved each other – passionately,” she added.
Imperio, who also worked with both Lopez, 41, and Anthony, 42, before they wed, recalled how the pair cuddled up while rehearsing their Idol performance for two days leading up to the finale.“They couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and he kept calling her ‘Baby’ and complimenting her, like: ‘Look how beautiful my wife is,’” she said.
“When you’re around a strained couple, you can really feel it, time moves slowly, and that’s not what this was. There was honest passion and such mutual respect for one another,” she explained.

OK Mag - Jennifer Lopez’ Divorce Shocker: Marc Anthony’s Been Seeing His Ex-Wife
They once seemed to be the ideal family: gorgeous, successful superstar Jennifer Lopez weds Marc Anthony, plus their adorable 3-year-old twins, Max and Emme. But when the couple announced the end of their seven-year union on July 15, it became clear that the truth behind the A-list pairing didn’t match the public image. OK! has the inside scoop in this week’s issue!“There have been a lot of tears,” an insider close to the couple tells OK! of the weeks leading up to the split. “It was a difficult decision for Jennifer, and she’s been putting on a brave face. She was struggling with whether she should stay and hope her marriage gets better or give up on it. It was really hard for her, but she didn’t want to be in a relationship where she wasn’t madly in love with her husband anymore.”
“J.Lo and Marc used to have incredible passion between them, and that was the glue that held them together,” says another insider. “[But lately] they had been drifting apart to more of a friendship,” says the longtime friend of the couple.
Some say that’s because Marc had a wandering eye. “I think Marc wanted to be with other women,” reveals a source close to the situation.
To make matters worse, Marc has been spending time with his ex-wife, former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, with whom he has two sons.UNTAGGED PIX BELOW

During her performance, an ebullient Lopez wowed the crowd.
"Are you happy?" she exclaimed onstage. "I am happy, because I am here with you today!"
"She is jumping back into work and being a mom [to twins Max and Emme, 3] with all her energy and she is really excited. She feels like she has grown leaps and bounds and is a new person now, better than ever," said an insider.

How Ben Affleck Helped Jennifer Lopez With Crumbling Marriage
Ben will always be in Jen's corner. - Although Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck famously called off their engagement and 18-month romance in January 2004, the actor was happy to help as his ex's 7-year marriage to Marc Anthony was falling apart.
Guadalupe Lopez, the singer-actress's mother sought Affleck's advice on July 12, multiple sources confirm in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday. "Guadalupe reached out to Ben over email. She wanted advice for Jennifer," reveals a source."She always liked and trusted him. [Ben] replied back on email, wished her well and offered what he could," the source says of Affleck, 38, now happily married with two daughters to Jennifer Garner. (Lopez, now 41, wed Latin crooner Anthony, 42, just months after she and Affleck split.)
Three days after that secret email exchange with Affleck, Lopez and Anthony announced the end of their union in a joint statement. "It was a very bad marriage, and Jennifer got the courage to end things," an insider says, adding, "[Marc] was a terrible husband."
At issue: Anthony's raging jealousy over Lopez's career, his compulsion to control everything from her business endeavors and even her famous wardrobe, and, according to multiple sources, at least one extra-marital affair in 2009.
And despite her ultra-glamourous, ultra-confident persona in the public eye, Lopez "actually has low self-esteem," one pal explains. "And Marc really played into that insecurity. That's why she put up with his abuse for such a long time."

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Fought Over Jealousy, Infidelity and Control
When they announced their split on July 15, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony revealed they had already "come to an amicable conclusion on all matters."
For those who know the couple, that statement might have been more surprising than calling an end to their seven-year marriage.
The decision to split actually came "after months of nonstop arguing," says a source close to the family. There were issues on a movie set, envy on the American Idol stage, and times that Lopez, 41, feared her husband wasn't faithful.
An Anthony insider disputes infidelity claims and maintains the 42-year-old always supported her career. "They started to see life differently," the source says.
As they move on to the next chapters of their lives, the Anthony insider also says the breakup is for the best. "Though they love, admire and respect each other very much, they just needed to be apart."

Jennifer Lopez’s new project: ‘South Beach Tow
You wouldn’t think Jennifer Lopez would be attached to a show about something as unglamorous as towing cars. But she is executive producer of truTV’s new All Worked Up-type reality show, South Beach Tow. Premiering 10 p.m. Wednesday, it stars Robert Ashenoff, the mild-mannered but efficient manager of Tremont Towing, who spends most of his working hours making car owners peeved. We caught up with the Bronx-born Ashenoff, 58, who calls Miami Beach home.
What is the biggest challenge of your job?
Probably the stigma the industry has. The bottom line is I’m contracted to do a job and unfortunately, a lot of drivers aren’t reading the signs. There are a lot of people coming over here. It’s an international playground, and a lot of times there’s no parking and they end up getting towed.
What’s it like dealing with the public?
You get a lot of people freaking out. Especially at night because they’re highly intoxicated. They don’t listen to reason. It’s their way and no other way. In real life it doesn’t go that way.
How do you deal with the abuse?
I have great patience; in this business you got to have it. I tolerate almost anything. You try to defend yourself the best you can and not get hurt.
Have you been attacked physically?
I got smacked in the face with an aluminum baseball bat way back, about 20 years ago around when the Renaissance in South Beach started. It was after one of those heavy weekends. I happen to catch the silhouette [of the bat]. That’s the last thing I can remember, really. I got stitched up and so forth. It was an unpleasant experience.
Any really strange experiences that we can expect on the show?
There was a woman who was parked in — I can’t remember if it was a loading zone or what; it was just the wrong place. We hooked her up to load her out. She was very angry, especially because she had a wedding cake in there. When she opened up the door, the cake that had been sitting there slid forward. There was icing damage. Then it got kind of complicated with her. She started pushing me, calling me a lot of names. I’ve heard them all, of course. There was nothing I could do about it. I kept telling her, ‘Ma’am, it’s not our fault you parked where you did.’
Do you like your job?
I like it at times, but it’s very testy; obviously I’ve developed a tough skin. If I didn’t, I shouldn’t be in this business. You do meet a lot of nice people, though. We are also doing good stuff. I don’t know how many times I’ve helped someone out because they’ve just broken down on the side of the road.
