JenLop (my new nickname for her) is now suing the most credible news source on the planet, the BBC. Oh no wait, I meant The National Enquirer.

DUBLIN (AP) â€” Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, are suing The National Enquirer in European courts over the tabloid’s claims they were linked to a drug scandal, their Belfast lawyer said Monday.

See? What are they seeking you ask?

“a six-figure settlement”

Hmmm, that seems a little lame. Don’t you usually sue for 60 kajillion dollars and then settle for a million or so? I thought that was how it worked. They are suing because the rag alleged that they were “caught up in a heroin scandal” which is of course false. The scandal turned out to be only crack pipe related. One fun part is they are suing in Europe because:

“The First Amendment restrictions in U.S. libel law make it virtually impossible for international celebrities or other high-profile individuals to sue successfully (said their attorney Paul Tweed)”

Ugh. The First Amendement is sooooo annoying. As is having a tangible place where someone can serve you with a lawsuit. And now, the kicker! For the lawyer, Paul Tweed, this marks the second time he’s represented a high profile celebrity against the publication. Check it out:

In July 2006, he secured a published apology in the European edition of the Enquirer for an article that claimed pop singer Britney Spears was about to divorce Kevin Federline.

You see, it wasn’t until November that the two would split up. The Enquirer has got to stop trusting their psychics. Those guys are only accurate so far as alien stuff is concerned!
