Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband Ojani Noa continues to haunt her life thirteen years after their divorce. Their honeymoon tape that Noa sold to current girlfriend Claudia Vazquez to release for commercial purpose has sparked a bidding war among big porn studios such as Red Light District, YouPorn.com and PornHub.com.

These companies are bidding only around $40,000 for the tape because it doesn't actually contain sex scenes. It was shot back in 1997, a year before their divorce, containing "J. Lo's rise to fame, and her marriage to Ojani" as well as "nudity on her part in the now 21 hours of home movies". It went to Noa's possession and later to Vazquez's.

Gaining meteoric fame in such a young age, 17-year-old Scotty McCreery has drawn comparison to another teen idol Justin Bieber who got a big break in the music industry a couple years back. Talking about the comparison in two different interviews, he said he's flattered but also a bit baffled.

In a chat with MTV recently, Scotty said it was cool to be dubbed a "Country Bieber" because the Canadian singer "is the epitome of [a] big star." Talking about their alikeness, he mentioned their young age, "I mean, Justin's a whole lot further ahead than I am ... so, I guess it's mainly because of our age. ..."

While in Florence, Italy to film the fourth season of "Jersey Shore", The Situation apparently finds a way to do laundry in style.

Contrary to swirling rumors, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are still best friends. Stephen Huvane, a representative for Jennifer, was quick to shoot down recent report that the two had a falling out. "It's a complete fabrication," he told E! News. "There was no fall[ing] out and Jennifer considers Courteney to be a dear and close friend."

Us Weekly earlier reported that there is tension between 42-year-old Jennifer and her former "Friends" co-star.

She kicks in the slow-riding jam with "what goes around comes back around" repetition.

She co-wrote the song with Babyface. While the first single, which hasn't climbed higher than 33 on Billboard Hot 100, didn't seem to have the kind of superstar impact she is used to, this second offering would likely bring her back to the top 10 of the list considering its radio-friendly appeal and catchy chorus.

Being "the highest-selling film" Lionsgate Films has ever had at the Cannes Film Festival, "The Hunger Games" trilogy is likely to expand into four films. A representative for the studio confirms that they "have a deal that encompasses four [4] movies for 'The Hunger Games'."

The expansion rumor prompts speculation that "The Hunger Games" may take a similar route of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn". This means that Lionsgate could split Suzanne Collins' last novel "Mockingjay" into two films.

"Jersey Shore" has got its British version called "Geordie Shore" which becomes a hit for MTV UK. Jimmy Kimmel wants to highlight how the new show it is not so much different from the original version despite the different location, spoofing "Geordie Shore" in a sketch for his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!".

RiRi didn't directly mention the PTC complaint, but she repeatedly re-tweeted her fans' messages which mentioned that they were inspired by the music video. One of them read, "Your video means so much to me ! gives me confidence and hope to be carfeul and not mistake Bull**** for love." Another read, "ManDown Is Powerful!! Amazing Song, Brilliant Message."

"The Real Housewives" franchise is expanding to Canada. It has been announced at the Shaw Media's Upfronts earlier this week that a Vancouver version of the Bravo hit reality show has been greenlit. Canadian network Slice will start airing the show titled "The Real Housewives of Vancouver" sometime in 2012.

No cast members have been announced. Montreal Gazette, however, has thrown some names who would be a fit for the show. Trevor Linden's wife and Basquiat boutique owner Cristina Linden is deemed a good choice to meet the profile of a sports star's wife.

Ever since he broke up from longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake has been linked to a number of single ladies in Hollywood. Most recently, the "Bad Teacher" actor was rumored to be hooking up with Ashley Olsen. His representative, however, was quick to deny the dating report.

When setting the record straight, Justin's rep also shot down rumor that Justin might be romancing Olivia Wilde. "Justin is friends with both Olivia and Ashley," the rep told E! Online. "He is not romantically involved with either. He is single." A friend of the singer-turned-actor added, "Justin and Ashley have a ton of mutual friends. Yeah, they were hanging out. But there is nothing going on."

Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried apparently are not meant to be. Seven months after they started embarking on a relationship, the couple has split for the second time. They once broke up in February.

"It was mutual. They were never fully committed," a source told Us Magazine, adding "They were always on and off. They were always seeing other people." The split did not leave a messy trace, according to the source. "There's no bad blood. They're cool," the so-called pal added.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar is now free to re-marry. The actor's divorce from wife of 15 years Lisa Ann Russell has been finalized in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, and the former couple has worked out a custody agreement of their two children, seven-year-old Michael and five-year-old Ava.

Gosselaar, who recently guest starred on "Weeds", filed for divorce on last June 18, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. The new papers filed on Friday, May 27 stated that Gosselaar and Russell employed a mediator to help them settle financial issues. They have reached the middle in this one.
