Jennifer Lopez's Next Beau? William Levy Leads P. Diddy, Charlie Sheen on Online Betting Site



William Levy? P. Diddy? Even Charlie Sheen? Those are the celebrities you can put money on when it comes to a very special wager:

Who will win J.Lo's heart?

Irish online betting site Paddy Power has created a novelty bet called "J.Lo's next boyfriend," where amateur cupids can bet on who they think will be Jennifer López's next beau after her shocking divorce from Marc Anthony.

Novela heartthrob William Levy – no surprise here! – leads the pack at 8/11 odds after rumors heated up about a possible relationship between him and the Puerto Rican star.



Levy broke his silence about his relationship with López but that hasn't stopped the story from spreading after their steamy video shoot in Mexico for her song, "I'm Into You."

Next up, bookies have J.Lo's ex-boyfriend Sean "P. Diddy" Combs at 11/4 odds to get her back. The odds may have something to do with recent reports that López and Diddy had dinner together in New York.

The site says that the bet "applies to the first romantic relationship officially confirmed by a spokesperson for Jennifer Lopez by end 2012 following her split from her husband."

Actor Bradley Cooper (12-1), Black Eyed Peas member Will.I.am (16-1) and Ryan Reynolds (20-1) round out the top five of bachelors López might be inclined to pick from.

Other notables are Pitbull (25-1), who was featured in her video for "On the Floor," Simon Cowell (33-1), who left American Idol and created an opening for López, and the wacky Charlie Sheen, who recently snagged a sitcom deal with TBS and is a dark horse for her hand at 200-1 odds.

Paddy Power spokesperson Sharon McHugh talked to BettingPro, a betting site, about the novelty bet.

"I think everyone was shocked to hear of J-Lo's marriage breakdown but we're sure she won't be long getting her famous booty in gear and finding a new love," McHugh said. "She always bounces back!"

But that doesn't mean that all hope is lost for her soon-to-be ex-husband.

The site declares, "Bets void if she reunites with Marc Anthony."

Latino Stars Who Have Been Arrested


Paulina Rubio’s confrontation with the cops this weekend in Miami—she was arrested for allegedly refusing to get out of her car after being in an accident in which she was not at fault—was a classic: She hurled abuse at cops, pleading with onlookers to help her, and then was let go because she had to go home and breastfeed her baby. But she’s hardly the only Latino celeb to get booked and pose for a mugshot. Here are some of the most notorious, ridiculous and even hilarious Latino run ins with the 5-0.

Charlie Sheen

Busted for: Cocaine use, domestic violence

A seemingly perennial violence-prone bad boy, in 1995, he was charged with misdemeanor battery for physical abuse to a former girlfriend. 1998, he was arrested after overdosing on cocaine (he later admitted that he was trying to inject it). In December 2009, he was charged with domestic abuse after waving a knife at ex-wife Brooke Mueller. His sentence: rehab and an anger management course.

Nicole Richie

Busted for: Heroin possession, DUI

She may be the picture of Earth mother now, but Richie had plenty of wild times. In 2003, she was charged with heroin possession—while driving with a suspended license. Three years later, she flunked a sobriety test after cops pulled her over for driving the wrong way on a freeway, scoring a DUI (she later admitted to using marijuana and Vicodin before the incident). She’s since gone to rehab and attended anti-drinking driving classes and her probation was terminated in December.

Jenni Rivera

Busted for: Undeclared cash, assault

Wire transfers? Forget that. In May 2009, Rivera decided to take a luggage full of cash—$50,000—on a plane with her. The problem: Airport workers discovered the greenbacks and the Mexican diva was arrested for going over the limit of $10,000 when carrying cash into the U.S. But the singer, who has gotten into it with fans at concerts (she recently poured beer on a particularly annoying concertgoer), was charged with assault in 2008 when she asked a rowdy male fan onstage and started hitting him.


Michelle Rodriguez

Busted for: Assault, DUI,

The feisty actress has a considerable rap sheet that includes a 2002 assault arrest for fighting with her roommate, eight misdemeanor counts in 2003 related to a hit and run and DUI and driving with a suspended license. Apparently unfazed, after several speeding tickets in Hawaii, she was arrested for DUI in 2005, and was sentenced to jail time, though she was released the same day she entered because of overcrowding. She was sentenced again to jail time in 2007 after violating her probabion by not completing her community service and alcohol program. She did 18 days in jail.


Martin Sheen

Busted for: Trespassing

A dyed-in-the-wool lefty (though a pro-life Catholic), Sheen’s been arrested 66 times by his own count for his participation in scores of protests, including one at the Navada Test Site where nuclear devices are tested.


Ricardo Chavira

Busted for: DUI

The Desperate Housewives actor was pulled over for a routine traffic stop early morning on May 3. Cops say they smelled alcohol on his breath. He refused to take a blood or breath test but was given other sobriety tests and officers arrested him on suspicion of DUI.


Bruno Mars

Busted for: Cocaine possesion

The Puerto Rican-Filipino singer-songwriter born Peter Hernandez was popped for having a baggie filled with 2.6 grams of coke when found by a security guard at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Café & Casino. He faces felony charges.


Carlos Santana

Busted for: marijuana possession

The Grammy award winning singer-guitarist was busted with five grams of weed after arriving from Mexico. The lifelong toker saw no jail time but paid a fine.

Don Omar

Busted for: marijuana possession

The boricua reggaeton star allegedly was caught smoking a joint in a white Hummer, along with friends. This one joint actually cost him a trial, complete with jury. The charges were dropped after DNA tests on the cigarette were inconclusive.


Jessica Sierra

Busted for: Assault and possession of cocaine, disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest

Sierra, of American Idol fame, was arrested after throwing a glass at a bar patron in Tampa. During her arrest, cops found cocaine in her purse, leading to the drug charge. She was sentenced to a year probation, but then two weeks later, she was once again busted for disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest without violence and probation violation. She also allegedly offered sexual favors to one of the officers—before throwing up all inside the car.


 Q’Orianka Kilcher

Busted for: Disorderly conduct

The A New World actress tied herself to a section of the White House fence while her mother poured black liquid over her. Kilcher, whose father is a Peruvian Indian, and her mother, were protesting a visit by the Peruvian president Alan Garcia
