Sources confirm Jennifer Lopez dating California dancer

Just months after calling it quits from her seven-year marriage to husband Marc Anthony and weeks after an alleged romance brewing between her and actor Bradley Cooper, rumors of yet another man in Jennifer Lopez' life are confirmed.

US Weekly reports that Lopez, 42, is dating Anaheim, Calif., dancer Casper Smart, 24. According to the magazine's source, Smart "dances at Club Boulevard in L.A." Smart's website, which US Weekly said was stripped of all content Saturday, shows a publicity shot of the chiseled dancer, listing him as an actor and choreographer. The Internet Movie Database lists Smart mostly playing dancing roles from as early as 2008. US Weekly reports that before caspersmart.com was purged of any details about him, he said he had roles in 'Honey 2' and was a dancer in 'Step Up 3D.' The Internet Movie Database profile for Smart confirms both roles. The Insider also reports that the dancer/actor has appeared on 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Ellen.'

Smart has also been a backup dancer for Beyonce, Toni Braxton and even Michael Jackson. He was an alternate dancer during Jackson's 'This Is It' world tour, which was made into feature film after the singer's death in 2009.

Much like she did when spotted with Bradley Cooper, Lopez was seen out with Smart this month in New York and attempted to dodge paparazzi flashbulbs. The dancer's Twitter page also said he's been a dancer for the 'American Idol' judge.

AOL Latino reported that Lopez was involved after her split from Marc Anthony, with whom she has two 3-year-old twins, back in October, after Lopez and Cooper were seen leaving his Pacific Palisades home and having dinner in New York. Sources also revealed that he was seriously pursuing Lopez and that they texted frequently to each other throughout the day.

William Levy says 'No' to Jennifer Lopez

Ever since she picked William Levy to be her fictional love interest for her "I'm Into You" video, rumors have swirled about a possible romance between the Cuban stud and the girl from the block, Jennifer Lopez. Rumors abounded, such as whether Elizabeth Gutierrez had left the Cuban actor because he lied about his involvement with J Lo., whether Marc Anthony was insane with jealousy over Levy and left, even that the Levy-Lopez connection was more a way for her to help launch his Hollywood career.

Through a source close to Levy, we get to the truth. We've learned that although it's true that the Cuban heartthrob decided to change management because he does want in in the "Meca of Film," it won't be Jennifer Lopez who runs the show, as she might've wanted, because Levy said "No," among other reasons, to avoid speculation. Levy signed with the William Morris Agency.

On the other hand, a source close to Lopez confirmed that there was a formal conversation in which Levy was urged to become part of the staff for United Talent Agency and Nuyorican Production, Lopez's baby. The intention was to help initiate his first jobs in the American market. The Bronx Diva was left quite captivated by Levy's presence, his charisma and his talent.

Despite several talks, Levy chose to join another company to handle his career in the English-speaking market. That doesn't rule out the possibility of a future production under Jennifer's leadership, only Levy will have his manager negotiating the terms.

These days, Levy finds himself in Los Angeles, accompanied by Elizabeth Gutierrez, to firm up negotiations with William Morris as they plot his career and his next projects. This time, Jennifer was left only with the longing to.

Christina Aguilera Signs Up For The Jennifer Lopez Comeback Plan

When Jennifer Lopez first signed up for “American Idol,” few thought it would serve as the career comeback vehicle that it has. But since Lopez enlisted to judge hopeful singers in the nation’s biggest karaoke contest, the ratings for the show have improved, and Lopez has landed several film roles and earned her first hit song in years with the Pittbull-assisted “On the Floor,” which peaked at an impressive No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

Now it’s looking like another diva is about to follow in J. Lo’s footsteps. Rumors abound that Christina Aguilera, fresh off the surprise success of “The Voice,” is currently in the studio with producers William Orbit and Brendan O’Brien recording the follow-up to her 2010 misfire Bionic.

As with Lopez, many were surprised that Aguilera signed up to be a judge on “The Voice.” Few expected the NBC singing competition to become the hit that it did, and the pop star found herself suddenly back in the public’s good graces, which included joining fellow judge Adam Levine and his Maroon 5 bandmates on the top ten hit “Moves Like Jagger.” The song marked Aguilera’s first appearance in the Billboard top ten since 2006’s “Ain’t No Other Man.”

If she is in the studio with Orbit and O’Brien, it seems like a smart, Lopez-like move to strike while the iron is hot and reestablish herself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that Aguilera was topping the charts with songs like “Beautiful,” winning Grammys and selling out arenas.

Working with Orbit and O’Brien could also serve as a move toward more adult material after Bionic’s failure to connect with younger audiences. It was Orbit, after all, who helped push Madonna into the second (or third or fourth, depending on how you look at it), more-adult phase of her career with Ray of Light, which won the Material Girl several Grammys. For his part, O’Brien is best known as a rock producer who has worked his magic on classic albums from Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
