Director Robert Luketic was left red-faced after turning up to Jennifer Lopez’s wedding in casual shorts and flip-flops. In an effort to keep the event unpublicised, Lopez told guests invited to her 2004 nuptials to singer Marc Anthony the event was an “afternoon party”. And the manoeuvre worked - as filmmaker Luketic, who directed Lopez in Monster-in-Law, was clueless as to the gathering’s actual purpose. He recalls, “She told me it was a barbecue because she didn’t want anyone to know about it. “Being the nice Aussie boy I am, I thought I’d bring a bit of BYO (bring your own alcohol) and wear my summer clothes. I turned up to this mansion on Mulholland, walked in the living room and all her family and everyone was there. “I remember storming into the bedroom and saying, ‘You told me it was a barbecue,’ as J-Lo was slipping into her wedding dress.”

A judge on Wednesday tossed out a lawsuit by a television writer who claimed Jennifer Lopez had a hand in stealing his idea for a TV series. Writer Jack Bunick claimed in a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that the series “South Beach” that debuted in January 2006 was too similar to a plot he described in 1999 for a pilot episode of a show that would have been called “South Beach Miami.” The lawsuit named Lopez, UPN, CBS Television and others as defendants. The show, which has since been canceled, aired on UPN. The show was described as being about best friends Matt and Vincent, who left their lives in Brooklyn to move to South Beach in hope of finding a better future. U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said there’s inadequate evidence to take the case to trial. The judge also noted that Bunick admits his scripts includes generic ideas and commonplace elements and aspects of the South Beach, Miami club and modeling scene. The judge said there was “in fact … powerful evidence” that the defendants had independently created “South Beach.” A lawyer for Lopez had said in court papers that although she was executive producer, Lopez was barely involved in the creation and development of “South Beach” and was only brought in at a later stage to “lend celebrity to the show.” A lawyer for Bunick did not immediately return a telephone message for comment.

Jennifer Lopez will be letting TV cameras into her life — just not her entire life. “The recent show Jennifer Lopez plans to produce for TLC is not a reality show,” says her manager, Simon Fields. “It’s a show that will track the creation, production and eventual launch of a new fragrance. Jennifer will appear in a creative, entrepreneurial capacity and will absolutely not feature her children and family life.” There is no broadcast date set for the show, but Fields says it will be this year.

It seems that Jennifer Lopez already has a viewer of her new reality show on TLC. Good friend and celeb-stylist, Phillip Bloch can’t wait. “I would watch anything she does,” Phillip told OK! at the Night of a Thousand Lights event benefiting St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. “I love her.” And maybe we can look forward to seeing this fashionable guy on the boob tube too. “If I am invited, I’d love to make an appearance,” the host of the evening remarked. It isn’t too far-fetched! Jennifer and Phillip have quite a history together. “I’ve worked with her through the years and in this business, you work with different people and your careers change, but she is someone whenever I see her, we instantly connect,” he explains. “We know each other from movie premieres and her first wedding and all that kind of stuff.” Here’s to hoping we can see this dynamic duo on TV together!

Hollywood diva Jennifer Lopez is planning a television reality show about her life as a singer, actress and, more recently, mother, that she will finance and produce herself, The Learning Channel said Wednesday. “Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience,” TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together,” said Lopez. Lopez, 38, gave birth for the first time to twins — a girl and a boy — on February 22. They were the fourth and fifth children for her husband, salsa star Marc Anthony. The docu-series which Lopez will co-create, co-produce and star in is under development and no launch date was disclosed. The US singer-actress, who is of Puerto Rican origin but was born and grew up in the Bronx, was married twice before she wed Anthony. She was ranked by Forbes.com last year as the ninth richest female entertainer in Hollywood, with a net worth estimated at 110 million dollars.

New mom Jennifer Lopez beams as she cuddles twins Emme Maribel and Maximilian David for their first public bow. “You hear people say this all the time, but it’s not until you experience it yourself that you can put it into your own words. Your heart is connected to them,” she told People magazine during an exclusive photo shoot. She and hubby Marc Anthony cooed and cradled and bottle-fed their month-old babies at their Long Island estate and talked about the bliss the adorable infants have brought into their lives. They have two ’round-the-clock baby nurses, but do most of the child care themselves. “It’ll be 3 in the morning,” said Marc, “and we’ll be like, ‘Next feeding in 30 minutes!’ OK, cool! ” The twins are the first kids for Lopez and the fourth and fifth for Anthony - and she set the record straight about how they were conceived. “It was natural,” she said. “We didn’t do in vitro . . . Everybody assumed that, because we had twins.” Celeb pals rushed to welcome the little ones into the world with gifts. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes sent them Bonpoint outfits, and designers Dolce & Gabbana offered fur wraps.
