J-Lo’s ex blocked from selling sex movie

Los Angeles — Jennifer Lopez won a court order Monday barring her first husband from making their sex life public — at least for a day.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant issued a temporary restraining order blocking distribution of a proposed movie, “The J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story.” The order is in effect until a hearing on whether to extend it is completed. That hearing was scheduled to resume today.

“I’m going to fight this,” Noa said of the order.

Lopez sued Noa on Friday for $10 million, claiming he breached a prior confidentiality agreement by intending to sell a movie containing hours of home video footage, including some showing Lopez in sexual situations on their 1997 honeymoon.

The suit also claims invasion of privacy by “public disclosure of private facts which would be offensive and objectionable to a reasonable person and which is not of legitimate public concern.”

Comedian Katt Williams jailed over burglary

Atlanta — Comedian and rapper Katt Williams remained jailed Monday in suburban Atlanta after police said they arrested the entertainer for breaking into a home and stealing thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and coins.

Williams, who police say is 38, is charged with burglary and criminal trespassing, according to Coweta County Sheriff’s Office Maj. James Yarbrough.

A Coweta County magistrate set bond at more than $41,000 Monday afternoon. A detention officer at Coweta County Jail confirmed Williams remained in custody after the hearing.

Yarbrough said the Sunday night incident happened at a home in Newnan, about 38 miles southwest of Atlanta. Yarbrough said the victim — identified in a police report as Daniel Broach — called police around 9 p.m. to report the comedian broke into his home and stole items.

Williams had a crowbar when he entered and is accused of taking $3,555 in jewelry and collectable coins.
