Jennifer Lopez is moving on from her marriage to Marc Anthony by stepping out with a MUCH HOTTER Bradley Cooper.

According to sources, the two were spotted last night on a dinner date at Per Se, a restaurant at Columbus Circle in New York City. TMZ reports witnesses claim the date was “romantic” and was just the two of them.

Lopez and Anthony announced their plans to divorce on July15. Cooper and longtime girlfriend Renee Zellweger split back in March.

Amidst rumors that he carried on some hot steamy love affair with Jada Pinkett-Smith, wife to famed actor Will Smith, singer Marc Anthony sat down with ABC’s John Quinones for his first interview since his divorce from ex-wife Jennifer Lopez. Marc tells John that after seven years of marriage, he will always have love for his ex-wife:

“I’ll always love Jennifer. Yeah. I’ll always love Jennifer. She knows that and my kids know that. Jennifer is a wonderful, wonderful woman, a wonderful mother, a wonderful friend.

Quinones also asks Anthony if he was heartbroken when he knew his marriage was over.

“It is sad. It is sad you think of the impact of all those people who believed in you. You think about your family. You think about the possibilities,” Anthony said.

“But we realized that very, very early on that even though we are not together, this story is not over. There’s stuff to do together. There’s life to see together thru (their children) Max and Emmy.

“It’s all good.”

Marc was very clear that infidelity had nothing to do with the split. The interview will air on a special edition of Nightline on Thursday.During the interview, Anthony also denied speculation that their marriage ended because of infidelity.

Jennifer had her first interview with Vanity Fair in August, saying:

“[Love is] still my biggest dream. I am positive — determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person. I now look forward to new challenges. I feel strong.”

“[I] will always respect Marc as a singer and performer … He will always be in our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my children.”

Jennifer Lopez was spotted over the weekend shooting the music video for her new single, ‘Papi’ in Los Angeles.

Strange outfit, in my opinion…

Apparently judging American Idol takes a lot of you, and according to judge Jennifer Lopez, it was so stressful last season she was unsure if she would be able to return, especially because of what was happening in her personal life:

“I got a little bit tired at the end with everything going on in my life at the time,” says Lopez, whose split with husband Marc Anthony was announced less than two months after the finale.

But at a news conference in Savannah, Ga., where the show is taping, Lopez told reporters that she realized Idol was “one of the best things I’ve ever been involved with” and that she enjoyed working with the contestants as well as fellow judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler and host Ryan Seacrest.

May the truth be revealed…

As if there was actually any doubt!

“American Idol” Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe is way too smart to play coy with the judges who helped resurrect the show — Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson have all re-signed.

Nigel made the announcement on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this AM, saying, “I am delighted to say that all three judges, along with the brilliant host of ‘American Idol’ are back for the next season.”

The buzz is … Jennifer got a huge pay bump — from $12 million last season to $20 mil next season. Steven Tyler still has a year to go before his contract is up, but we’re hearing he got an increase as well.

So I’m dying to know…. how many of you guys still watch American Idol? I gave up years ago, although I do watch the auditions every year. I just honestly don’t care anymore….

Do you?
