Jenny Wants Tell-All Book off the Block
J.Lo's love doesn't cost a thing. And she doesn't want to pay for it either.
Jennifer Lopez filed a lawsuit Monday to stop ex-husband Ojani Noa from publishing an alleged tell-all book about her, claiming that her disgruntled ex wanted $5 million before he would agree to not go public with his tales.
According to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the manuscript contains "negative, denigrating and disparaging" details about Lopez (and we're not talking about Gigli reviews here) and includes "private and intimate statements." One of the purported disparaging topics is Noa's claim to the New York Post that Lopez had an affair with current hubby Marc Anthony while the latter was still married to Dayanara Torres.
Noa also allegedly told the Post that when Lopez invited him to Brazil, where she was filming Anaconda, for his 23rd birthday, he supposedly learned upon arrival that she had been having a fling with a costar.
The Post ran the item about Noa's little literary project Jan. 11, describing his "tell-all manuscript, The Unknown Truth: A Passionate Portrait of a Serial Thriller," as a 12-chapter book proposal with each chapter borrowing a title from one of Lopez's movies.
Just hearing about the book was enough to make Lopez, 36, say Enough. Her lawsuit asserts that Noa sent Lopez's attorney a letter Jan. 13 that stated his intention to shop his revealing manuscript to publishers. He also "subtly threatened...that his compliance could be bought for the right price," the suit reads, and on Jan. 19, another note arrived saying that Noa would continue negotiating a book deal unless Lopez coughed up $5 million.
The suit adds that any negative Lopez-related chatter coming from Noa violates a settlement agreement the pair reached in October. (He sued the singer-actress in 2004 for allegedly backing out of a deal to let him run one of her restaurants.) The agreement included a nondisclosure clause preventing her ex from disclosing "for monetary gain any private or intimate details about either [Lopez] or his relationship with [her]," according to court documents.
The Monster-in-Law star is also seeking a permanent injunction preventing Noa's camp from publicizing any details about her and their relationship or from profiting in any way from any existing book materials.
Meanwhile, Lopez is scheduled to perform in India, Athens and Istanbul later this month. Her most recent album, Rebirth, came out last year, and she is featured on LL Cool J's current single, "Control Myself."
Next up for J.Lo on the big screen is a role as a journalist investigating a series of murders in the indie thriller Bordertown, costarring Antonio Banderas and directed by Gregory Nava, who also helmed Lopez's breakthrough film, Selena.
