A Los Angeles judge on Monday temporarily blocked an attempt by the former husband of singer-actress Jennifer Lopez to release video of their intimate life, according to Reuters. The order to Ojani Noa, Lopez’s former husband, will remain in effect until another court hearing on Tuesday – at which time the judge decides whether to extend it. Noa, a chef and model who was married to Lopez for less than 11 months, reportedly said he will fight back. Lopez filed a lawsuit against Noa on Friday, two years after she won a $545,000 judgment against him in a similar case involving a planned tell-all book. In her latest suit, Lopez alleges Noa was attempting to sell the footage of their sexual encounters to film distributors. She is seeking $10 million in damages and a court order permanently blocking distribution of the video.

Walt Disney Studios president Mark Zoradi resigns

Filed under: News and tagged:

In another step in the continued shake-up at Walt Disney Studios, the company’s president Mark Zoradi has resigned, effective immediately. The resignation comes less than two months after Zoradi’s former boss Dick Cook abruptly left the company, and just a few weeks after Miramax’s president Daniel Battsek stepped down. Zoradi worked at Disney for 29 years, most recently overseeing worldwide marketing and distribution as the president of the motion pictures group. It’s not clear whether Cook’s replacement Rich Ross will replace Zoradi or how he will further streamline the organization. Disney had a disappointing performance at the box office this past weekend with Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol underperforming expectations but insiders insist Zoradi’s abrupt departure had nothing to do with the film’s box-office take.
