Jennifer Lopez says that she won’t answer anymore questions about her divorce from Marc Anthony because they want to keep their private business private for the sake of their twins, Max and Emme.

She revealed, “Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself – if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.”

Since, she hasn’t spoken publicly about the divorce, in detail. She also warns reporters not to ask about her quotes from her interview in Vanity Fair.

On the Today show, she said, “Everything I wanted to say about the divorce I said in that article. And Marc and I agreed that we’re not gonna talk about it publicly again because it really is our personal lives. We have children and it’s something that we just have to respect and keep sacred. It’s not the easiest thing in the world but we handled it with a lot of grace, a lot of caring and a lot of love.”

Kudos to her for keeping the important things private. One day, their children will grow up and get on the internet and they don’t need to see mom and dad bashing each other.

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Marc Anthony on July 17, 2011, but still maintains that they are really close friends. Some have said that there might be a reconciliation in the works for the former couple.

Now, they’ve continued working together on their show, Q’Viva! The Chosen, despite splitting up. She revealed, “Marc and I were friends before we got married. We were friends for years, and we always loved each other. And we always worked together, so it wasn’t an unnatural thing for us to continue working together. And, obviously, we have children together, so it’s not going to be like he’s not in my life. He’s always going to be in my life. We have a lot of love for each other, and we’re human. It’s not the easiest thing in the world, but I think we handle our split with a lot of grace and a lot of caring and a lot of love.”

As far as whether or not she is considering marriage on down the road, she said, “I don’t know. We’ll see. It’s not time to think about that, do you know what I mean? It’s still fresh.”

She’s right, both the divorce and her new relationship are still fresh. What do you think?

American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez is featured on the cover of the February issue of Inland Empire magazine. While she looks good, we aren’t exactly fans of this particular cover.

There are rumors floating around that she might just accept another ring from her estranged husband, Marc Anthony. The gossip is that she’s thinking about a possible reconciliation. Who knew?!?

If that happens, then what is she going to do with her 24-year-old piece, Casper Smart? And what about Marc’s new girlfriend?

Do you think they should get back together for the sake of their kids, as it’s being rumored? Or do you think that they’re better off apart?

Are you feeling this cover with J-Lo? Hit the comments and let us know!

After last night’s stop in Aspen, Colorado, we’re hoping that American Idol finds some more raw talent as they take the show to Houston, Texas. In case you’ve missed last night’s auditions episode of the show, you can read the full recap here.

Will they find the next American Idol on tonight’s show? It’s hard to tell, but we do have a bit of a spoiler for fans. Remember Jessica Whitely from the show’s season premiere episode? She sounded awful, but said that she would be back to try her luck in Texas. Well, she did not get through this time around, either. She actually tried to blame drinking hot water before her audition as the root cause of why she sounded so badly.

What did you think of the talent that the show has cultivated so far? Will they be able to find their next star as the show rolls on to Houston?

The show airs tonight on FOX from 8-9PM EST. Will YOU be watching the show? Let us know! Keep refreshing Earsucker for the latest updates!

It’s an all new auditions episode of American Idol tonight, as the show rolls into Aspen, Colorado to find its next star!

The show has already taken the competition to Savannah, Georgia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and San Diego, California and has already cultivated some talent for its roster of Hollywood Week stars. You can check out the recaps of the premiere, second and third episodes at the links provided.

So far, we were impressed with David Leathers, Jr., Gabby Carrubba, Shannon Magrane, Amy Brumfield, Phillip Phillips, Eben Franckiewitz, Hallie Day, Jayrah Gibson, Ali Shields, Kyle Crews and Jason “Wolf” Hamlin.

We weren’t so impressed with a slew of the singers and even some who got the golden ticket. Among them were Jennifer Diley, who wore a bikini to her audition and claimed that Steven told her she was guaranteed to get through to Hollywood.

Also leaving us unimpressed was Jim Carrey’s daughter, Jane. Sure, she sounded alright, but this was her chance to try and make it without the help of her father. She performed Bonnie Raitt’s song, Something To Talk About and it was a bit flat. They’ve let go of better talent than she has, only to push her through to the next round. It was also rumored that Jane received special treatment from the show — and didn’t have to wait in line like the rest of the people competing.

The show airs on FOX tonight from 8-9PM EST. We’ll be watching…Will YOU? Apparently, they’re going to have some pretty awful singers tonight. We’ve heard a funny quote from Steven Tyler: “Some days you’re the bird, and other days you’re the statue.” Let’s see if that rings true later on tonight!

The eleventh season of American Idol begins tonight on FOX from 8 to 10PM EST! Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler will be judging as the contestants swarm in to the studios and sing for their supper in Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia.

Earlier today, it was revealed that some of the people behind the scenes of the show were cracking jokes about comments that Simon Cowell made. He claimed his show, The X Factor USA, would be a disappointment if it didn’t receive a record of 20 million viewers in its first night.

Are you curious as to how many times Randy will tell someone that they are “in it to win it”? Or how about “dawg”? How many leers Steven will give the young ladies that are singing before him?

Who will get their ticket to Hollywood and who will be sent home packin’? Only time will tell, but we’re sure to catch the drama tonight. Our sister website, Tragicomical, will be covering the show with highlights, lowlights and the competitors who get the golden ticket.

Will you be tuning into the show tonight? Stay tuned, we’ll be providing you with a link to chime in with your thoughts, LIVE, as the show airs. Keep refreshing this page for updates!

UPDATE: READ THE OFFICIAL RECAP OF TONIGHT’S SEASON PREMIERE OF AMERICAN IDOL HERE.

Now that Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Marc Anthony and has been running around with Casper Smart, apparently her divorce is getting ugly!

She filed for divorce in July, so why is he still bitter and upset?!? Apparently, he doesn’t like her new relationship with 24-year-old backup dancer, Casper. Why not? He’s been getting along with their kids just fine!

Us Weekly reports:

When the Latin crooner spotted photos of Lopez and Smart bonding with his son and daughter during a Thanksgiving vacation in Kauai, Hawaii, he “hit the roof,” one source says. “It caused a huge blowup.”

Even though they have already worked out a deal for custody of their twins, Max and Emme, a source has revealed that he may go back on his word. The source said, “He wants to make Jennifer suffer because she’s having fun with someone new, and he knows this will hurt her on the deepest level.”

Another friend said that Jennifer is “ready to smash him if he tries anything. It’s getting vicious.”

Uh oh! This is going to get worse before it gets better! Let’s hope that they can be mature about their split because the only ones it will affect in the end are their children. What do you think?

Jennifer Lopez has been left seething mad after being mistaken for her new boyfriend, Casper Smart’s mother. She yelled at someone, “I’m his girlfriend – not his mother!”

A source close to Jennifer said, “Jennifer is tired of people making comments. She doesn’t know what’s worse – being mistaken for Casper’s mother or accused of being a cradle-robbing cougar!”

She is 18 years older than the backup dancer turned boytoy. An insider said, “But it kills Jennifer every time the age difference is brought to her attention.”

Another source said, “The two of them stopped in a McDonald’s recently, and Jennifer was mortified when the cashier asked Casper if he wanted to have his mother’s order added to his or if they were going to pay separately. Jennifer shouted, ‘I’m his girlfriend – not his mother!’”

Afterward, she grabbed his arm and marched out of the restaurant in a huff. The source revealed, “The cashier’s comment really bruised her ego.”

Even more recently, they went out to a club, but she was miffed that he was asked for his ID, but she wasn’t. The source added, “Jennifer just doesn’t think she looks that much older than Casper and took huge offense when the bartender carded Casper and not her. Jennifer enjoys spending time with Casper, but her ego is taking a solid beating. Friends predict the nonstop comments from strangers are the beginning of the end for the couple.”

Do you think Jennifer looks that much older than Casper?

Is Marc Anthony still bitter over his divorce from Jennifer Lopez? According to sources, he threw a fit after seeing the picture of his ex-wife along with her new boyfriend, Casper Smart.

A source said that he is “going nuts” over her relationship with Casper. The snitch said, “He has fits and tantrums and is very stressed. He’s lost a lot of weight.”

Jennifer’s friends aren’t too happy about the multi-million dollar singer dating the help, either. A source close to the situation revealed, “They don’t feel Casper is good enough for her. They are worried because she really puts her heart out there for love.”

Perhaps it’s just a rebound romance for Jennifer? What do you think?

Jennifer Lopez actually faked her involvement in her new FIAT commercial! Who knew?!?

Sure, it looks like Jenny went back to the “block”, but in reality, she was just on a film set on the west coast!

Reportedly, her role in the ad was actually played by a body double! According to reports, the lookalike was behind the wheel of the car in the Bronx, while J-Lo herself was in L.A., where she filmed her part inside of the Fiat 500. The production company then merged the live action and CGI scenes into one seamless commercial, making it appear as if Jennifer was really in New York.

Funnily enough, in the commercial voiceover, she said, “This is my world. This place inspires me. They may be just streets to you, but to me they’re a playground.”

It must not have inspired her enough to actually go back to the Bronx to do her own filming! In the ad, it shows barbershop owner Eligio Cueto, but he revealed that it wasn’t J-Lo behind the wheel of the car when it drove by his shop. He said, “It wasn’t her, it was a double that looked like her.”

Fake, fake, fake!

Now that Bradley Cooper has been crowned People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2011, he’s brushing off rumors that he is dating American Idol judge, Jennifer Lopez.

While they were rumored to be dating, they were both mum on the topic of dating reports. Now, she has been hooking up with Casper Smart, Bradley is letting the cat out of the bag: He’s single! Praise Jesus!

When asked about the dating rumors, he said, “I’m a single 36-year-old male. I don’t see myself as a ladies’ man but I love women. Do you know what I’m saying? If you’re a single man and you happen to be in this business, you’re deemed a player. But I don’t see myself as a ladies’ man.”

So modest!

He went on to say, “Rumors can have an awful effect if you are actually dating somebody else — ‘You were in Miami last weekend?’ ‘Nope.’ ‘I think you were.’ ‘No, I’ve been right here. I haven’t been to Florida in years!’”

In case you’ve forgotten, last month it was rumored that he flew to Miami to see Jennifer. I guess he wasn’t working hard at all to woo her.

Ladies, Bradley’s single! Who wants a crack at him first? The line starts here!
