Report: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony still hooking up!

According to an US Weekly insider, while filming their talent competition in Puerto Rico on November 8th, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony hooked up in their hotel.

Anthony was spotted picking up Lopez at the airport — and “Marc never stayed in his hotel room,” the source says.

The twosome are destined to hook up again, according to pals. “It’s inevitable,” the friend says. “Marc has this hold over her.” The split, says the friend, has been an “emotional roller coaster” for the superstar.

But another pal cautions that an actual reconciliation is not in the cards. “They may sleep together, but they’re over!”

I could totally see this. Marc Anthony MUST have some super-human power to land the women he does. He might be the most unattractive male celebrity out there. May be harsh, don’t hate me – you know you agree with me.

In other J.Lo news, the web is abuzz this morning over the fact that Jenny “copied” Britney Spears on last night’s American Music Awards. While some people are calling it her “triumphant return” to the AMA’s, I called it embarrassingly awful. Anyway, she starts off her performance by mocking her own breakdown on stage last month….then she starts laughing, and hehe! She was just kidding! Her clothes are ripped off, and underneath she was wearing a nude bodysuit with sparkles, which looked an awful lot like the outfit Britney wore during her infamous VMA performance years back.

Only thing I can give J.Lo during this performance is she looks amazing – especially for being 42. Other than that – the performance was hard to watch. It was embarrassing to watch, and don’t tell me I’m alone. When she hopped in the Fiat during one of the worst product-placements I’ve ever seen, I yelled out “OH COME ON!” Jennifer is the spokeswoman of Fiat (the car was also a central piece in her music video “Papi”).

Jennifer won an award for favorite Latin Artist.

I thought she’s trying too hard to be Beyonce - but judge for yourself. (Believe it or not, she got a standing ovation after her performance!)

PIC: Jennifer Lopez’ new boyfriend is half her age!

She’s only been separated for four months from her husband Marc Anthony, but Jennifer Lopez has a new man boy in her life. She’s dating 24-year-old Casper Smart, and he’s a male dancer from Anaheim, CA.

Smart “dances at Club Boulevard in L.A.,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “[He's] popular with the ladies because he goes shirtless!”

According to Smart’s personal website caspersmart.com, he had a role in Honey 2 and was a dancer in Step Up 3D. His special skills include “krumping, acrobatics, breaking [and] popping.” The 5’8″ star lists his weight as between 160 and 170 pounds, and he was one of Beyonce’s dancers during her 2010 Grammy Awards performance. He even played one of the “Single Ladies” dancers in a 2010 episode of Glee paying homage to Jay-Z’s wife.

According to his site, he was an alternate dancer for Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” world tour. The rehearsals, interviews and backstage footage of the tour were made into a 2009 film following Jackson’s death in June of the same year.

Lopez, 42, has only been romantically involved with Smart for a few weeks, but an insider says their relationship is “nothing serious.” Earlier this month, the duo was snapped trying to remain incognito in NYC.

Smart has also been one of the American Idol judge’s dancers, according to his Twitter page. “In San Fran about his the stage with JLO!” he wrote Friday. “[With] JLO and the dope JLO dancers. LEGGO!”

After separating from Anthony, 43, following seven years of marriage, Lopez moved on with Bradley Cooper. A source told Us the Hangover star, 36, was “really trying to woo Jennifer in a big way” and the actor had been “after Jennifer, calling her, for ages.” In addition to a super romantic candlelit Sept. 10 dinner at NYC’s Per Se eatery, the charming Limitless actor stepped up his seduction game again with a secret flight to Boca Raton.

Lopez “liked the thrill and the fact that Bradley has been pursuing her,” but a source says she “has really been trying to concentrate on her kids and work. But Bradley has been especially eager.”

“I’m not one to give advice on marriage,” Lopez told Us last year prior to her split. “You have to communicate if you want it to keep on working.”

I totally think it’s gross she’s dating someone twenty years younger than her. Especially considering she has two young children at home.

Jennifer Lopez is Glamour’s “Woman of the Year”

In the December issue of Glamour Magazine, Jennifer Lopez opens up about dating again after her split from husband Marc Anthony, and what the “biggest lesson of all” is.

Whoa, J Lo! Jennifer Lopez covers Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year December issue — and, in a low-cut skin-tight red top tucked into curve-hugging sailor pants, the star, 42, flaunts a lot more cleavage than she customarily does.

(The singer, actress and designer wears a red bustier by Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, pants and a Swarovski crystal anchor necklace by Salvatore Ferragamo, plus a Michael Kors gold necklace, Verdura gold bracelet, two Chanel Fine Jewelry gold, black onyx, and diamond bracelets, a Lorraine Schwartz white gold diamond bracelet, a Verdura gold, platinum, and diamond wide link bracelet and a Pomellato rose gold and diamond bracelet.)

Jennifer says about her style, “The things I liked when I was, like, 16 and in the Bronx – jeans, cut-up T-shirts – I still like. But I’ve been exposed to so much now from traveling the world and seeing couture clothes. I used all of that when I created my new line for Kohl’s. My style has come from everything, from where I started to where I am today.”

Inside the mag, star (who’s been dating Bradley Cooper of late) opens up about a new relationship in the wake of her split with husband Marc Anthony.

“I think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye. You know the media—they want to rush everything,” muses the “I’m Into You” singer.

But, Lopez tells Glamour, she’s ready for whatever romance comes, thanks to some hard lessons learned during her painful split. “I think I’ve finally learned the biggest lesson of all,” she says. “You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with somebody else. You’ve got to value yourself and know that you’re worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can’t really have a healthy relationship.”

Do we really think JLo is daing Bradley Cooper? I don’t know – I want proof.

Jennifer Lopez Will Be a “Tougher” Judge On ‘American Idol’ Next Season

American Idol is prepping for its 11th season, and Jennifer Lopez says that as the years go by, the judges get just a little bit tougher on contestants.

“We’re a little tougher on everybody. Because of last season and the standard that we set, it’s easy to go, ‘Is he as good as even our top 24 from last year?’ ”

“It’s not like you find people just like that, but the ones that we found, we know are very special.”

As far as her relationships with fellow judges Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson go, she says that it’s a family affair.

“They’re like my brothers and they drive me crazy like brothers, too,” she said with a laugh. “But we love each other, which is why we’ve become like a family.”
