It was just over a month ago that Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lopez were spotted out together on what may or may not have been a date. Both US Weekly and TMZ reported it like it was some romantic dinner, and like Cooper was chasing after J.Lo. Then People ran a story claiming it was just a business dinner. Huffpo’s Rob Shuter claimed that Lopez set Cooper up for the rumors by presenting it to him like a project meeting over dinner, and then having her publicist leak the story to the tabloids. That version sounded the most likely to me, given all the conflicting stories about it. Plus I just don’t think Lopez is Cooper’s “type.” (If he has a type and assuming his relationship with Renee Zellweger was legit.)
Whatever the case last month, it looks like these two (and their publicists) are on the same page now. People Magazine, the publicists’ mouthpiece, is running this story and they have “exclusive” photos of the two together, with Lopez laughably trying to hide her face. Since when does People run exclusive paparazzi photos?
Bradley Cooper was seen in Los Angeles Saturday with a woman paparazzi say is Jennifer Lopez and who our exclusive photos reveal to be a woman who sure looks an awful lot like the American Idol judge.
A source close to Lopez says the two spent time together on Saturday. Reps for both did not respond for comment.
This isn’t the first time Lopez, 42 has been seen with the Hangover star, 37. The pair had dinner last month at Per Se in New York City but quickly asserted that the meeting was nothing more than just business – but was it?
“After their date in New York, Bradley and Jennifer stayed in touch,” says a source close to Lopez.
The source also says: “She does like his attention, and it makes her feel good that he seems so into her. She has a fun time with Bradley and he makes her laugh.”
Adds another source: “She likes him.”

So now People is reporting their last outing as a “date,” when they last claimed it “was all business,” according to some insider source. And of course Bradley is “so into” J.Lo. since no one can resist her! I’m not buying this in any way, but a lot of you weren’t buying this guy’s long term relationship with Zellweger, either.I checked both of their IMDB pages to see if either of them have any movies coming out soon, but there’s nothing they could be promoting with this relationship – except for keeping their names in the press. At least this dude seems complicit in it too.

Actually, he was in a 5-7 year relationship with Jennifer Esposito, who is like a much more polished and refined, prettier J Lo. I do think she probably set it up though

lmao i love that picture of bradley. he’s all “heyyyyy gurl!”
and he was married to jennifer esposito, so maybe his preference is olive skinned dark haired women and renee was the anomaly. this is, of course, if you believe he’s straight. i’m still not sure. LOL

I am not a Bradley Cooper fan, but I was just wandering Lainey over at LaineyGosiip keeps on hinting that he has MAJOR ISSUES, does anybody may be know or thinks they know as to what she is hinting at, I always get this wierd vibe from him like not everything is ok, you know what I mean.

After 6-7 yrs. riding Skeletors 11 inches and carrying around twins, I don’t blame ol’ girl for wanting to take a break from the one-eyed monster and bearding for a while.
Micheal K is already callin them Coo-lo

BCoop can do much better. He seems like such a nice guy. I can’t imagine those two would have anything in common.
However, I would never tire of reading about CooLo. That’s priceless.

@kieslwoski – I read Lainey too and always assumed his major issues are the fact that he is closeted and a major douche. Unrelated issues, but both problematic when one is constantly looking to hire beards to fake his hetero.

hey bradley, take note of what happened to ben affleck’s career when he hooked up with J Ho…

Have to laugh at this paranoid article feeding its paranoid readers. Give me some facts. Any prove of your wild accusations? Did you spy on them? This guy’s movie career is at an all time high. I checked out is imdb. This woman is one of the most talked about people in the world. That cannot be denied even if you hate her. She doesn’t need to create press. Maybe you could ask yourselves why you are so deeply paranoid and why you care?

@Christine thanks for the answer, but I think Lainey stated that he is not gay (you know her line – gossip is a buffet and she has been told by reliable sources that he is not gay), hence my question. If I am wrong please correct me.

Are they in any movies together? No.
If anything he would never go near her after what happened to Ben Affleck. She is hardly going to boost his already thriving career. You should feed that in to your paranoid brains

@ kieslwoski
Lainey’s word shouldn’t be taken as gospel. She kisses ass to stars who’s publicists feed her info on other stars. She is not above lying about Bradley Cooper or say George Clooney and gay rumors or kissing Blake Lively’s ass after trashing her for months if it means staying on Blake’s publicist’s good side.
She picks and chooses who she targets and who she gossips on. Whatever is most beneficial to her website. She knows outting major stars like Clooney or Cooper will not get her anywhere. So she ignores it and picks on easy targets with no clout in the industry.

lucy – on the gravy train? Whose PR are you? JLo’s, yeah?
Coop… run. That’s all I have to say.
PS – don’t go the famewhore route like the Ryans are. It’s not dignified.

@Alejandro,
you are right about LAiney I used to really like her and although she always had her prefrences re: stars I thought she was pretty unbiased but then the Blake Lively thing happened and I was just so shocked at how she went from totally bashing the girl to kissing her ass, I guess she is on Lesli Sloan Zelnick’s pay roll? I was really disappointed about that.
And then I realized she did the same thing with Ryan Reynolds when you go to her archives she used to bash Ryan R. all the time what a rude douche he was etc, how he mistreated Alanis but then all of a sudden she became his #1 fan.
I guess I just thought that I had missed somthing about Bradley Cooper since I do not really follow him or his career.

I can’t see how a pr hookup with JLo would benefit Bradley Cooper. She would most certainly benefit but he wouldn’t. I wouldn’t have thought that after what nearly happened to Ben Affleck’s career any one worth their salt and serious about their career would go near JLo romance wise. If Bradley’s after a beard (and I doubt he’s gay but let’s go with it) why such a high profile one? Especially one with so much baggage? I’m thinking the answer is simpler than we’re trying to make it, dude is probably into her and wants to get to know her better. JLo is still a hot, beautiful woman. Here’s hoping Bradley doesn’t get too burned before he comes to his senses.

kieslwoski – The way I see it with Lainey is that she doesn’t majorly bash the bigger stars. Correct me if I’m wrong with that point though.
When Ryan was with Alanis, he was known, but not as well known as he is now. It was about the time that Green Lantern came out that she seemed to call a truce on the hate and stopped with the physical critiquing (foundation face), etc. My take = she got a memo from “upstairs” and had to cool it. I don’t really get how she can have her blog and rip apart people and then do E-Talk. I wouldn’t want to be on her bad books that’s for sure.

@#12: I remember reading gossip somewhere that BC was abusive to Jennifer Esposito, causing them to split. I hope that is not true.

The first Brad and Jen didn’t make it with the agent hook up so Brannifer 2.0 I don’t see happening. Funny how she was Bennifer 1.0 though. LOL.

Yes,this has been set up to keep JLo relevant by ‘hooking up’ with Hollywood’s new IT guy and imo it only benefits her…JLo must be so desperate she is willing to beard for him…since she is yet to divorce her current husband, seems like she wants to rub it in to Marc by being photographed with the guys she hangs out with…xx
