From In Touch via Celebitchy:

In Touch Weekly has learned that in an effort to keep 25-year-old Casper Smart happy, Jennifer Lopez is about to undo the smartest career decision she ever made – and give up her job as an American Idol judge.

Jealous of all the time she was spending away from home – and with cute Idols like Phillip Phillips – Casper urged her to quit the plum gig and focus on their relationship instead. And remarkably, J.Lo is listening. Although Jennifer tweeted on May 17 that she hadn’t “decided what I am doing next year,” sources tell In Touch that the star has already informed Idol brass that she won’t be coming back next season.

“Casper would love it she would just chill out and travel with him,” explains a friend, adding that as ambitious as she is, J.Lo has also been overwhelmed – and he picked up on that. “She had her relationsip, music, movies, Idol and being a good mom,” the friend shares. “She loved being on Idol, but something had to give, so she took Casper’s advice.”

J.Lo’s closest advisers wish she hadn’t. most recall her career was in a lull before her Idol-inspired comeback.

“If anything should go, it should be Casper,” huffs the friend, who marvels at the increasingly important role Smart is playing in Jennifer’s life. “Everyone is annoyed that Jennifer is taking business advice from Casper.”

Jennifer’s friends worry that Jennifer has fallen too hard, too fast for Casper, and she barely knows him. An insider observes, “She’s a fool for love.”

“But Jennnnn,” Casper said, slumping his shoulders and pouting. “You always have to work. You never have time for me anymore. Jenniferrrr! Please! I want to go to Hawaii! Take me to Hawaii right now! God!”

That’s how I imagine that conversation went. I don’t think Casper told Jennifer that she’s been working too much, that he was concerned that she wasn’t relaxing enough. I think Casper threw a little hissy fit, and Jennifer got him a jet ski and told him to go play with his friends while she did some grown-up work.

Then again, maybe this didn’t even happen. Maybe Casper is upset by all these rumors that Jennifer Lopez won’t be returning to American Idol next year. If she lost that sweet gig, then what would happen to his allowance?

Ok, that headline might be an exaggeration, but only slightly. Jennifer Lopez really did get a new reality show, and Casper Smart really will play a big part in it. But … um … actually, I don’t think I exaggerated at all. Get ready, everybody, because Casper Smart is going to rule the world!

From E! Online:

E! News confirms that the Oxygen network bought Jennifer Lopez’s pitch for a reality show centered around the dancers on her tour, and yes, Casper Smart (and his bee-boy moves, we’re sure).

But it’s not all Casper all the time.

Smart is the supervising choreographer of the group, so he will be a huge part of the new reality series, but the series will focus on all the dancers as a whole and will show what goes into preparing for a tour. A tour with J.Lo, nonetheless.

A source tells us that Casper—who didn’t even push for this to happen—is very excited about the new gig and that Lopez may or may not be appearing on the show, depending on her schedule.

The series will air early next year.

Wow, I’m sure this show will be a hit. Who wouldn’t want to see little Casper Smart choreographing every week, strutting his little bottom around on television? Who could resist the allure of Jennifer Lopez’s little baby boyfriend? Who can believe that this show is actually a thing that is going to happen?

In case there was any doubt in your mind that Jennifer Lopez is one of the world’s hottest (and apparently, most powerful) celebrities, these photos should change your mind.

J Lo did an interview and photo shoot with the magazine that hates Kim Kardashian, and apparently, she lives in a great big house with beautiful furnishings and is “really happy” with Casper Smart. Oh God:

The house, a classic white brick manse, is huge—nine bedrooms—and sprawls out from the center hall with two giant wings. The interior is echt J.Lo: luxe, modern, and sexy—dark floors, gray curtains and walls, pastel-colored furniture. Her assistant, Gilly, deposits me in Lopez’s office and says, “Jennifer will be down shortly.” I hear kids shrieking somewhere upstairs. Like Lopez herself, the office is both masculine and feminine. There are wood-paneled walls and wingback chairs, a killer sound system, and a fur throw draped over a sofa. There’s a huge plaque (30 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD WORLD-WIDE); a ledge full of various film- and music-industry awards; and on her desk, nude shots of J.Lo for the advertising campaign for her forthcoming perfume, Glowing (the sample fragrance bottle actually lights up). A quick glance at the shelves reveals a taste for the classics (The Grapes of Wrath, Shakespeare); memoir (Arthur Miller’s Timebends); and self-help (Lies at the Altar: The Truth About Great Marriages). On the glass coffee table there is a big, lush book on Pucci, which somehow seems perfect.

I poke my head out of the office to look for a powder room and suddenly find myself in the kitchen, surprising the lady of the manor, who is leaning against the counter, picking at a salad and talking to her boyfriend, Casper Smart, the 24-year-old dancer she has recently taken up with. I met Smart back in Miami a few weeks earlier, while Lopez was staying in a huge suite at the Fontainebleau. Outside her door, there was Obama-level security. Inside, Lopez and Smart, in white terry-cloth bathrobes and wet hair, were eating an elaborate steak dinner while watching American Idol on a huge television. Despite the scary tattoos and shaved head, Smart was polite and very friendly. They are clearly besotted. Indeed, they cannot keep their hands off each other, and it is impossible not to notice just how happy Lopez is around him.

The rest of the article talks about Jennifer and Marc Anthony, and how she doesn’t smoke or drink and never really has, and where her future lies (hint: not with American Idol). The thing is, though, no matter who she’s been with or where she’s gone, she’s still completely charming and down-to-earth, and I guess that’s the second-most likable thing about her. The first? Well. Just check out the photos and you’ll figure that one out for yourself.

Let’s just lay it out, right here, right now: Jennifer Lopez has one sick body. SICK. She looks unbelievably unbelievable for forty-two years old, and she looks unbelievable for eighteen, twenty-six, and thirty-eight, too. Jennifer Lopez is timeless and her bodily execution year after year is positively flawless.

Now. With all that positive reinforcement out of the way: this outfit! Come on! What’s she trying to prove with this business? That her young little piece of ass boyfriend isn’t weird? Because he is. He’s Bee Dance Krumpin’ kind of weird, and no amount of gold lamé is going to distract us from Casper Smart’s lameness. Is she trying to tell us that she deserves a belated Academy Award for her performances in Gigli, The Wedding Planner, and/or Enough? Because that’s just not going to happen no matter how many times she dresses up as a little gold man.

No, Jennifer Lopez should probably fire her stylist. Or, if she’s not using one these days because she’s transcended fashion novice and headed into innovative ingenue, then she needs to get one (sweet-looking) big-assed reality check. PUN INTENDED.

That seems really weird, right? All the way back in July of last year, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez made a joint statement that said “we have decided to end our marriage.” It wasn’t a statement of “we’re having a rough time in our relationship, so please give us some privacy,” it was a statement of “yeah, this is over.” I assumed that papers were filed soon after, if not before, that statement, and that we just never heard anything about the marriage being officially, legally over because why bother? But nope, just a few days ago, Marc filed for divorce.

Why did it take so long? Were they fighting over the terms of the divorce? No, they’ve been getting along way too well for that. Were they just being lazy? I don’t know about Marc, but I know that Jennifer Lopez is certainly not lazy. Were they hoping to work things out? Well … halfway.

From TMZ:

Marc Anthony held out hope for a reconciliation with Jennifer Lopez, but decided to file for divorce when she told him … she’s madly in love with BF Casper Smart … TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story … Marc filed for divorce Monday — nine months after the couple announced they were splitting.

But sources extremely close to Marc tell us, he didn’t make the decision on his own — he had a heart-to-heart with J.Lo a few weeks back to see if she really, truly wanted to end the marriage.

We’re told he said he wanted to give the marriage another try, but Jennifer confessed … she was deeply in love with Casper … and wanted to pursue that relationship.

We’re told Marc was blindsided … he had not idea things were so serious — and he was hurt.

So that’s why Marc filed divorce papers this week.

That’s got to sting a little, right? When your wife chooses her little baby boyfriend, the guy she has to give an allowance to and who she got to call your kids “daddy.” I’m not saying that Jennifer has an obligation to go back to a marriage that she clearly wasn’t happy with, but … really? It just blows my mind that she’d pick Casper over anybody.

But who knows, maybe I’m in the minority here. Maybe I’m part of a tiny little group of people who don’t see what’s so great about Casper Smart. But then again, I really don’t see what’s so awesome about Marc Anthony either. So I guess what I’m saying here is wow, Jennifer Lopez, way to pick ‘em!

But what do you guys think?

Not only did Jennifer Lopez do a brand new music video, she did a brand new music video with her little baby boyfriend, Casper Smart. Two little bears just covering themselves in glitter and dirty dancing!

Be sure to take note of a few things in this video, all right? First of all, I don’t really use this term that often, but I think Jennifer Lopez is just bangin’. It is insane how gorgeous this lady is. I could watch her dance around in tights all day long and just be mesmerized by her beauty. Throw in the little doucheface, and this is my new favorite music video ever. Just check out his serious, intense dancing face. You look so hardcore with all that paint and glitter, little buddy! You’re living the dream!

All right, I’ll tell you guys the truth: I did watch this whole video, but I had the sound off. Is this a powerful pop song? Some hip hop number? No idea. Let me know if this is a good song and maybe I’ll listen to it, but for now, I’m just going to keep this video going on mute. It’s too amazing to sully with a Jennifer Lopez song.
