JLo wins lawsuit against her ex

Jennifer Lopez is nearly $545,000 richer thanks to a lawsuit against her first husband, Ojani Noa. Lopez filed suit against Noa, claiming his plans to write a tell-all book were in violation of a previous lawsuit settlement preventing him from revealing private information about their relationship. A court-ordered arbitrator decided on the damages in April, which include $200,000 plus legal fees, and also awarded a permanent injunction against Noa barring him from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement" to Lopez. Noa was also directed to give his ex-wife copies of all materials related to the book. The arbitration decision became public earlier this week when Lopez's lawyer filed papers asking a judge to confirm the award. A hearing is scheduled for September 5. The unpublished, ghostwritten book reportedly alleges that Lopez had several affairs while married to Noa, including one with her present husband Marc Anthony.
