J.Lo & Casper threaten to sue over claims he loves to cruise gay dudes

Yesterday, we covered some of the new tabloid stories about Casper Smart’s visit to a sex shop/peep show/massage emporium. I don’t really know what more to say about those stories, really. Casper was photographed leaving the peep show/sex shop place without any bags, AND he was adjusting his pants… which isn’t hard evidence (ew) of course, but it’s still fairly damning in the court of public opinion, especially given that Casper went to the peep show/sex shop the day before Jennifer Lopez’s birthday. Add to that the whole back-and-forth debate about what really went down while Casper was inside the place. In Touch Weekly claimed that he was there to get some kind of “appointment-only” back-room massage that only lasted 10 minutes. Radar/Star says Casper was actually AT the Peep Show, but the Peep Show is a very popular gay cruising spot, so obviously, Casper = J.Lo’s Boyfriend on the Down-low.

Hilariously, Jennifer and Casper are actually PUSHING BACK on In Touch and Star Magazine’s claims. TMZ says that they’re threatening to sue over the tabloid stories of backroom handies and peep show cruising. Good God! So, so dumb:

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are FURIOUS over reports Casper was “caught” in a “gay sex club” and an exotic massage parlor … and now they’re threatening to sue … claiming the stories are pure BS.

TMZ has learned … the couple’s high-powered attorneys, Shawn Holley and Howard Weitzman, have teamed up and fired off letters to Star Magazine and In Touch … warning them the “reports” are “false, malicious and defamatory” and will cause “immense damage” to the couple’s careers and reputations.

The reports include photographs of Casper outside a XXX peep show in NYC back in July — Star claims the shop is a “well-known cruising spot for gay men looking for instant hookups.”

In Touch claims Casper was “caught” with an “exotic masseuse.”

In their letters, the lawyers have each demanded the mags print a full retraction … warning Smart and Lopez will “immediately file a lawsuit” if the magazines fail to do so.

We reached out to Star and In Touch — so far, no word back.

[From TMZ]

Once again, THERE ARE PHOTOS. A photo of Casper standing outside the sex shop/peep show. A photo of him entering through the side. A photo of Casper slinking out of the establishment a short time later, carrying nothing and adjusting his pants – you can see all of the photos here. Of course, it’s perfectly possible that the tabloids are doing a special creative writing assignment of “tell the story that goes along with these photos.” But it’s not some huge plot, and it’s a pretty dumb lawsuit if they do end up going that route. For one, Star and In Touch Weekly will make it about the photo evidence and then there will have to be testimony from all of the gay dudes who love to cruise the peep show, and then there will be testimony from all of the women (and men?) who have massaged Casper in the backroom.

As for the reports causing “immense damage to the couple’s careers and reputations”… Jennifer is doing that all by herself. She’s dickmatized. And it’s so disgusting, because not only is he “beauty challenged,” but it really does seem like he’s on the down-low. For real.

Casper Smart frequents gay cruising spots, or he loves a good exotic massage

In Touch Weekly isn’t running a Kristen Stewart-Sparkles cover this week, surprisingly enough. Instead, ITW is searching for the next big cheating scandal, and they think they’ve found it with Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez. In Touch probably knows that we’ll believe pretty much anything about Casper and J.Lo. But will you believe that Casper got a handie at an “exotic massage parlor” connected to the peep show he went to last week? Yes. I will believe that.

In Touch can exclusively reveal that just one day before helping Jennifer Lopez celebrate her 43rd birthday, Casper Smart—her boyfriend of 10 months—was in NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, where he entered an 8th Avenue building and went upstairs to visit an appointment-only exotic massage parlor.

Bibi, a massage worker at the parlor, who says she is 31 and a native of Korea confirms to In Touch, “I saw Jennifer’s boyfriend,” adding that Casper was “in a big hurry” during his visit, which lasted fewer than 10 minutes. “He is a nice man. He has strong muscles.”

Bibi’s claims are supported by multiple sources — including Don Jayasinha, an employee at the gay peep show downstairs from the massage parlor, who says Casper is a familiar face in the building. “Casper has gone to the exotic massage parlor twice this month,” he tells In Touch.

Casper, via his reps, denies visiting the massage parlor and insists he was on the block to get a tattoo on his fingers that spell out “hard love” at a neighboring business. In Touch has found that the tattoos are old — Casper was photographed with them back in May.

Several other local workers report seeing Casper on that stretch of 8th Avenue regularly; one says they refer to Jennifer as “Sugar Mama.” Another eyewitness, photographer Elder Ordonez (who snapped the shots of Casper arriving and leaving), says the dancer looked “relaxed” as he exited the establishment.

[From In Touch Weekly]

LOL, he looked “relaxed”. That’s code for “handie”. And only 10 minutes? He must be used to paying for rubdowns. He’s got a system. He’s in and out very quickly. Ugh. Gross. In Touch also has the exclusive photo of the masseuse (at the end of the post).

But wait! Star magazine has a completely different and unique take on the whole “Casper went to a peep show/massage parlor” story. Apparently, the peep show part of the establishment is a famous gay cruising spot. LOL. That isn’t going to help all of those rumors that Casper is on the down-low.

Photos of Casper Smart visiting an adult XXX peepshow the day before Jennifer Lopez’s 43rd birthday may have come as a shocking, unexpected gift to the singer, but a regular at the 24-hour joint exclusively told Star magazine that he’s seen Casper there in the past and it’s a popular spot for gay men.

While many speculated Casper, 25, was just there to buy a sexy birthday gift for J.Lo, the backup dancer wasn’t photographed leaving the establishment with any presents or packages, and was never seen entering the adjoining sex shop — only the peepshow.

“This is a gay cruising spot,” a man familiar with the spot told an undercover Star reporter who visited the New York City peepshow.

“You go into the booths, then you get all kind of tapping on the wall and propositions. It’s like zombies.”

Another peepshow regular told Star when shown a photo of Casper, “Yeah, I’ve seen him. He was in here about three weeks ago.”

This isn’t the first time gay allegations have been thrown Casper’s way: As RadarOnline.com first reported, fellow backup dancer and Casper’s Step Up 3D co-star Joshua Lee Ayers posted old photos of Casper on his Twitter account in which he was striking provocative poses with other shirtless men and Joshua urged viewers to check out his “low key homo ways.”

However, J.Lo and Casper’s rep, Mark Young, adamantly denies the allegations and told RadarOnline.com, “Casper is not gay. These comments are born from envy and jealousy.”

But according to Star, Jennifer’s estranged hubby Marc Anthony wasn’t happy when he saw the photos of Casper at the gay XXX peepshow either.

“Marc has never liked Casper and doesn’t want him around his kids,” an insider said. “When he saw the pics of Casper coming out of that porn theater, he lost it. He told Jennifer in no uncertain terms: ‘Dump Casper or I’ll take the kids.’ He doesn’t want his children exposed to someone like that anymore.”

[From Radar]

What do you believe? Do you believe that Casper was cruising at a peep show famous (in the gay community) for anonymous (gay) hookups? Or do you believe that Casper was getting sketchy handies from Korean sex workers in the backroom? Because you kind of have to believe one or the other. Because Casper left the establishment with no bags, adjusting his pants. Something went down. It was either a heterosexual (and sketchy) handie, or an anonymous gay hookup. Either/or, it doesn’t look good for J.Lo.

Casper Smart’s b-day gift to Jennifer Lopez: a diamond… necklace

First of all, we now know what Casper Smart bought his lover for her 43rd birthday: a diamond!!!….necklace. And embarrassment, obviously, but J.Lo has got her love-goggles on so she can’t see it. Anyway, instead of proposing (LIKE SHE WANTED), Casper just treated J.Lo to a birthday gift of “a diamond necklace with a pink teddy bear.” Because she calls him Bear. And he calls her Bear. Because it’s one of the few words that boy can spell (and even then it’s a struggle). Page Six says that J.Lo “was surprised” by a birthday dinner surrounded by friends like Mary J and Benny Medina. A source says: “J.Lo got out of her car blindfolded and took it off when the guests yelled ‘Happy Birthday’ over the side of the yacht.” The birthday cake was in the shape of a bear too. Casper said: “BEAR. B-E… um… uh… B….I gotta pee.” Then they salsa danced.

In other J.Lo news, her new music video for “Goin’ In” debuted. I’m not even going to bother doing a second-by-second analysis of it, mostly because the damn thing is so frenetic and attention deficit. I like some of her costumes, although I hate those silver dance pants that she’s wearing in one of the “dance breaks”. The crotch is messed up – they look like those dumb pants Justin Bieber is always wearing. At first I kind of hated the song, but… it might be a decent one for the gym, you know? Casper isn’t in this one. THANK GOD.

Casper Smart went to a peep show the day before Jennifer Lopez’s birthday

There are 20 million new photos of Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart, who were out and about in New York all day yesterday, celebrating J.Lo’s 43rd birthday with their true friends, the paparazzi. Jennifer even did two looks for her birthday – the daytime look was a beige-y and white maxi dress, and the evening look was a rather sexy red Tom Ford (that’s a Ford dress, right?) with back zippers. Poor Casper had to let his mom dress him up! That was his birthday gift to her – he let J.Lo dress him. And that’s all she got for her birthday! There is no engagement. At least, not yet.

Oh, but Casper also gave J.Lo the gift that keeps on giving – embarrassment. The day before Jennifer’s birthday, Casper was photographed entering a sex shop – you can see the photos here. Sure, Casper could have been shopping for toys to improve his sex life with J.Lo… except the paparazzi waited for him outside of the shop and Casper came out empty-handed, adjusting his pants. You know why? Because the shop has a 24-hour peep show in back. Because Casper is so in love with his hot girlfriend, he had to check out a peep show the day before her 43rd birthday. It’s like Ben Affleck all over again!! Still, Us Weekly reminds all of us, “She’s telling friends she wants to marry Casper. She’s certain she wants to be with Casper forever.” Because she’s an idiot.

Jennifer Lopez celebrates her 43rd b-day with Casper Smart: did he propose?

Happy birthday to Jennifer Lopez! She turns 43 years old today. Does she look 43? I don’t think she does. I think she could easily pass for mid-30s. Of course, I also think she might have gotten some slight plastic surgery a few years ago, nothing too drastic, but noticeable if you look through photos of J.Lo throughout the past decade. Anyway, these are photos of Jennifer and Casper Smart out to dinner last night in NYC. I’m guessing it was Jennifer’s pre-birthday dinner, and she made Casper put on his big-boy clothes and take her out (although she paid). Can I just say? I’m pretty much in love with Jennifer’s outfit. Those leather pants are amazing and that blouse is really cool.

Yesterday, we discussed whether Casper would propose to Jennifer on her birthday. I’m seeing a lot of beautiful rings on Jennifer’s fingers, but nothing is screaming “engagement ring!” to me. Maybe he’ll propose tonight? I really do think she’s expecting it. An engagement would be right on schedule for her. It’s actually past due.

Here’s a teaser of J.Lo’s new music video, “Goin’ In”. OMG LOOK AT HER LIPS. Is this a new trend, bejeweled lips? Epic. The full music video will premiere tomorrow on MTV.

Will Casper Smart propose to Jennifer Lopez on her b-day tomorrow?

These are photos of Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart “out to dinner” yesterday in NYC. This is how Jennifer dresses casually – and it’s not horrible, in my opinion. I like when she does head-scarves, and I like the white jeans and flip-flops (I’m a sucker for celebrities in flip-flops). The piece that I don’t like is the t-shirt… with some kind of metal embellishments on the shoulders. It would have been cuter is she had just done a simple white t-shirt, I think. People are making a big deal about how we can see Jennifer’s bra through the t-shirt, but it happens. I don’t know if the t-shirt is really thin or if it’s just the lighting or whatever. All I know is that the “bra” part of this doesn’t offend me. What does offend me? Yeah. Casper. As for Casper and his FACE (ugh) and his Timbs… does this boy even know how to tie his own shoes? How does he even walk without falling down?

Apparently, this outing was Jennifer and Casper enjoying their “night off” from her tour – in which Casper has been made the “lead choreographer”. Jennifer and Casper spent the day shopping, then eating at Pastis, then they spent the night on a private yacht.

By the way, Jennifer’s birthday is tomorrow. Will Casper propose on her birthday? I kind of think she’s expecting it, don’t you? She probably already picked out the ring, paid for it and gave it to Casper to give back to her. I wonder how she asked to be proposed to? Privately (say, on a yacht?), or in front of a huge audience, like on stage in the middle of her show? Yes, I’m kind of expecting some news from J.Lo this week. You should prepare yourselves – he’s going to propose at some point and she’ll say yes. Because she believes in fairy tales. For real.

Casper Smart holds autograph sessions now, because he’s so important

Casper Smart

I just had to laugh at these photos from yesterday of Casper Smart signing autographs before Jennifer Lopez’s Toronto concert. These aren’t merely pictures of some random passerby stopping Casper as he’s on the way to some important meeting (like when he told off the “American Idol” execs) or something. This is an actual, preconceived autograph session. Like, there’s a table and markers and everything, and those are authentically eager and boobtastic blondes who are snapping photos of Casper. The guy has actual fans. I just … don’t get it.

Casper Smart

Sure, Casper is Jennifer Lopez’s future fourth (ex-)husband, her knight in douchey armor, and her ill-advised business adviser. He’s also her lead choreographer and a reality show darling in the making. In the end though, he’s merely a 25-year-old young stud who is servicing a 42-year-old sugar momma before she grows tired of him and tosses him out like yesterday’s Marc Anthony-shaped laundry. Sure, she’ll marry Casper first, but he’ll still end up getting dumped eventually. And when he does, will all those fans still be fawning over him? Not bloody likely.

Jennifer Lopez wants to marry Casper Smart: “The biggest dream is the fairy tale”

I can still remember when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck did an exclusive joint interview with Dateline in 2003. The interview was easily one of the greatest moments of pop culture/celebrity news of the past twenty years – Jennifer talking over Ben, Ben looking like he was in over his head, both of them answering questions about their life together. It was amazing. I always think that the Dateline special set the standard for “celebrity couples doing awkward joint interviews” and I always think THAT is the reason so few celebrity couples do joint interviews. Anyway, Jennifer has her new budget boyfriend Casper Smart. And she’s got to promote her tour! So she did an interview with Good Morning America – and it turned into an interview with Casper! Because Casper = Ben Affleck!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, Jennifer and Casper didn’t sit down together to talk about their love. No, Casper was interviewed solo about what it’s like to be “chief choreographer” of the tour. Oh, J.Lo. You can see the video here and here are some highlights:

When it comes to love, Jennifer Lopez isn’t giving up on the fairy tale. The actress and pop superstar wants to get married again.

“For me, the biggest dream is the fairy tale. I will never give up on that dream,” Lopez, 42, told ABC News’ Amy Robach in an interview that aired today on “Good Morning America,” as she and singer Enrique Iglesias kick of their Latin pop-infused world tour.

“It can be difficult for anybody who has to stand by my side, but at the end of the day, I know that I deserve that,” she said.

Lopez and actor-singer Marc Anthony split last year after seven years of marriage. The man who is now standing by Lopez’s side is Beau “Casper” Smart, her tour choreographer. Smart gave some insight into his relationship with one of the most famous women in the entertainment industry. He revealed that it wasn’t love at first sight for the pair. Their attraction developed over time.

“It was just very natural, you know, natural how it happened,” he said. “There was nothing before, no flirting, no nothing.”

So what’s it like for him to work with his famous girlfriend?

“Sometimes, I tell her something, you know, give her notes. But at the end of the day, you know, it doesn’t matter what position is what, because she’s the boss, you know?” Smart, 25, told ABC.

And when Robach asked Lopez what it was like to take direction from her boyfriend, the singer laughed at the question. “It’s all right,” she said.

But Iglesias was quick to chime in. “It’s got to be tough to work with the one you love,” he said.

She agreed. “I have done it many times and it’s difficult with some people, and some people, it’s easy. Just depends on their personality.”

Laughingly, Iglesias prodded her: “Who was it difficult with? Say it, say it, say it,” to which Lopez replied, “I am so going to punch you in the head.”

“People obviously over the years have tried to tell it their way. What have the tabloids gotten wrong about you?” Robach asked.

“Everything,” Lopez answered with a laugh.

Iglesias has also been the focus of the media spotlight, especially regarding his 10-year relationship with tennis star Anna Kournikova. While his tour co-headliner wants to get married again, Iglesias has a different take.

“You see, for me, marriage is not – I think Jennifer and I see it differently when it comes to that, which I totally respect her opinion, but I don’t think you need to be married to someone,” he said.

[From ABC News]

So, basically, Jennifer Lopez is really hoping for a proposal from Casper and HE’S MAKING HER WAIT. Because why not? It’s obvious that J.Lo will totally marry him and it’s obvious that it will happen eventually. So… it’s kind of funny that Casper hasn’t proposed yet. Maybe J.Lo hasn’t given him the money to buy a ring yet? Of course not – he’s making his OWN money! He’s her Chief Choreographer. And she bought him a reality show too. *sigh*

J.Lo is such a fool for love. It’s endearing for a while, but at some point it’s just… I want to shake her and do a “love” intervention.

Jennifer Lopez asked for $17 million for ‘Idol’, and producers refused

When we discussed Jennifer Lopez’s announcement on Friday, I said that I was disappointed in her decision to quit American Idol. I read it as Jennifer quitting a show that had given her career a second act, and that she probably left after a squabble about money (and/or scheduling). But! Some of you theorized that with Jennifer AND Steven Tyler’s hasty exits, that they had been pushed out rather than deciding to leave of their own volition. The Wrap and Radar agrees with that theory – their sources claim that Jennifer asked for a $2 million bump in salary, and Idol was all “Eh. Not so much.”

Jennifer Lopez says it was her choice to leave “American Idol” — but the singer was actually dumped by Fox when she asked for a $2 million raise in salary to $17 million, a person familiar with the negotiations told TheWrap.

Fox also opted not to pick up Steven Tyler’s option, the person said. Tyler announced his departure Thursday, saying he had decided to devote his energies to his first love, Aerosmith. Lopez said she wanted to focus on other aspects of her career and her children.

The exits — and the possible departure of Randy Jackson, widely speculated to be considering an exit after judging on all 11 seasons of the former No. 1 show — come as it undergoes another dramatic overhaul, just two seasons after the show was retooled by introducing Tyler and Lopez.

The insider said top Fox executives Peter Rice and Kevin Reilly want to revamp the show, and that Rice has told colleagues he wants an “Idol 2.0,” of which host Ryan Seacrest would be the only essential ingredient.

A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment.

The insider said J. Lo’s fee went from $12 million in her first season to $15 million in her second. When she asked for another $2 million, the network surprised her by not making a counteroffer.

“Idol” lost its top spot in the ratings to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” last season after eight years of dominance. In their two seasons, Tyler and Lopez helped prop up the show. But they could not return it to its former dominance as the sing-off market became glutted with competition, including NBC’s “The Voice” and Fox’s “X Factor” from ex-”Idol” judge Simon Cowell.

That glut — which also includes ABC’s “Duets” — has created a mini gold rush for singers.

Many music stars are being considered to replace Lopez and Tyler, including Mariah Carey — whom Cowell has long sought for “X Factor” — Kanye West, Mary J. Blige and Lenny Kravitz.

If Jackson stays with “Idol,” he has an inside track with Carey that his former “Idol” colleague lacked: Jackson is Carey’s manager.

[From The Wrap]

So it was about money AND it was about being dumped. Allegedly. I could see it playing out like this – Jennifer wasn’t sure if she wanted to do another season but she wanted to see how much they would give her, and when they didn’t dump at the chance to pay her $17 million, she saw the writing on the wall and it became a “mutual” decision. And poor Steven Tyler!

As for the names being mentioned as possible replacements… well, you know Mariah would be a glorious trainwreck and people would simply tune in to see THE MARIAH SHOW, also known as American Idol WITH MARIAH CAREY. Mary J. Blige has the benefit of being actually qualified to mentor young talent and give good criticism, so obviously she’s probably not really in the running. Lenny Kravitz would be interesting – have you ever seen him in a television interview? He’s actually a really good sport, and he doesn’t mind making fun of himself. He would be interesting. And Kanye… well, if Mariah is on board, then I really hope and pray that Kanye signs on too. Because that would be MAGIC!! Kanye + Mariah = MUST SEE TV.

Here are some photos of Jennifer performing in Montreal over the weekend:

Jennifer Lopez officially quits ‘American Idol’: “We had an amazing run”

For months, Jennifer Lopez has been playing a one-woman Hamlet in the press, changing her mind daily about whether she would return for a third season of American Idol, the reality show which gave her career one of the most extraordinary second acts in modern celebrity. J.Lo was still playing word games yesterday during her interviews, not confirming or denying that she was leaving. Then, in a sudden move late yesterday, Steven Tyler announced that HE was leaving Idol to focus on Aerosmith. So Jennifer decided to walk all over Steven’s announcement by suddenly announcing that yes, she’s made up her mind, and she’s definitely leaving.

After months of speculation, and the “hardest business conversation she’s ever had,” Jennifer Lopez confirms she is leaving American Idol after two seasons.

“I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do that I put … on hold because I love Idol so much,” Lopez, 42, told Ryan Seacrest Friday on his KIIS-FM morning show.

“I could do Idol for the rest of my life,” she said, “but that would be giving up a bunch of other things. We had an amazing run.”

Lopez follows in the footsteps of fellow judge Steven Tyler, who announced Thursday that he will not be returning for another season.

There is also speculation that veteran critic Randy Jackson will be leaving. And a source tells PEOPLE Mariah Carey is in serious talks to take one of the judges’ spots.

[From People]

I know a lot of you disagree with me, but I still think this is one of the stupidest moves J.Lo has ever made for her career. It’s right up there with “marrying Marc Anthony and letting him bully her into firing half of her management team.” J.Lo was in the wilderness (career-wise) during her marriage to Marc. She wasn’t getting many movie offers and her albums were selling poorly. Idol changed all of that, and now she’s back on the A-list. And I think she seems unprofessional and ungrateful for leaving after only two seasons. It will be worse for her too if Idol producers reveal that Jennifer decided not to come back because she wanted even more money.
