JLo Stops Tell All Book

Posted on July 3, 2006

Jennifer Lopez has managed to stop publication of a proposed tell-all book by her first husband, waiter Ojani Noa. The bigmouthed ex has been trying to blackmail JLo for more money in exchange for not writing a salacious book about their brief marriage.

Jennifer Lopez�s first husband has agreed not to publish intimate details or criticism of the actress-singer while they try to settle a lawsuit over his planned tell-all book, court documents showed Friday.

A preliminary injunction between the star and her former spouse, Ojani Noa, was signed by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge Thursday and made public a day later, resulting in the cancellation of a hearing in the case.

Lopez sued Noa in April to stop him from publishing an expose she said would breach a nondisclosure, "non-disparagement" pact between them. She then obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent him from going ahead with the proposed book.

The preliminary injunction signed this week will remain in effect until either the two settle their dispute or a nonjury trial is held to decide whether the latest court order will remain permanent.

Poor JLo! She gave him a job managing her restaurant, but had to fire him. Then she gave him more money if he promised to stop disparaging her to the press. She keeps paying this guy off and what does he do? He keeps trying to get more money out of her. The blackguard! Ok, maybe we've been reading too many of Julia London's historical romances around here. Let's see, what's a more modern word that applies to Mr. Ojani? Alas, it's unprintable on a family-friendly website.
