JLo is reportedly being paid $2 million to sing at a 30th birthday party that a Russian tycoon is throwing for his wife.

Andrei Melnichenko, a 35-year-old Russian banker, is flying Lopez to the U.K. to entertain his model wife, Aleksandra, and her 60 guests at their home for her birthday bash, according to various overseas reports.

The tab is said to be $1.2 million fee, plus $800,000 for Lopez and her entourage’s expenses. Melnichenko’s personal fortune is reportedly close to $5 billion.

“Andrei and Aleksandra are both very great fans of J. Lo, so Andrei put the call in and personally put the offer to [Lopez,]” a source told London’s Daily Mail. “She accepted immediately. She will sing for about 40 minutes — not bad money for the work.”

A London spokesman for the tycoon would say only: “This is strictly a private party for close friends and family.”

Her pimp likes her dressed like that. And have you seen the preview for Gigli 2? If not, it’s your lucky day! The preview for JLo and Skeletor’s new movie has arrived! Here is the preview for El Cantante. They apparently think that people are going to spend $8.50 to watch them sing and “act” for 2 hours. But maybe I’m missing something - because JLo’s latest album was somehow considered a hit.

What did ya think? Are you gonna watch it? I might watch it when it comes to HBO - and there is absolutely NOTHING left for me to watch (and that includes Full House repeats).

Leah Remini fears the world has got completely the wrong idea about her best pal Jennifer Lopez - she’s nothing like the diva she’s portrayed as in the media. The TV star insists the singer is just that - and reports of her being awkward and temperamental are so far from the truth.

The actress says, “She’s so normal that it would baffle people. She loves to hang out, loves to give advice, loves to be a good friend, loves to be a good stepmother. (She’s always) cooking and cleaning and taking care of her man and taking care of her family. She just loves to be a girl.”

Jennifer Lopez may have let slip a little Scientology-speak during her appearance on “American Idol,” leading people to wonder if she’s more involved in the Church than she’s letting on.

J.Lo responded to a question from Ryan Seacrest about Simon Cowell’s acid tongue by saying she believed that “concentrating on the rightness brings more rightness.” According to Rush & Molloy, “rightness” is a central tenet in the L. Ron Hubbard lexicon, and it’s no wonder that Lopez has it on the tip of her tongue: Her dad, David Lopez, has been a Scientologist for 20 years, and one of her best friends, actress Leah Remini, is an avowed Church member as well. Still, Lopez has repeatedly denied being involved herself.

JLo fulfilled her civic obligation and spent Monday on jury duty. I’m sure having Jennifer Lopez in a court room wouldn’t be distracting AT ALL.

TMZ spies tell us La Lopez arrived at the Beverly Hills Courthouse at 8:30 AM with an assistant in tow, and spent most of her time in the jury room text messaging friends. Although we’re told Jennifer was really down to earth and talked to other jurors, at one point the prospective jurors were ushered into a hallway, while the pop diva stayed inside the courtroom with a personally assigned deputy.

Sources say the jury room was quite chilly, and after lunch Lopez returned dressed with a sweater and scarf and with a different assistant than in the morning.

At 2:30 PM word came down that the court case had been resolved and all forty prospective jurors, including Jennifer, were free to go home.
