Earlier this week, when a judge sided with Jennifer Lopez to block the release of a video by her ex-husband Ojani Noa, another round in the J.Lo vs. Ojani rivalry came to an end, with Lopez as the victor. But Lopez and Noa's rivalry has been going on for 13 years, so we're guessing that this wont be the last time these two square off in court. And watching Noa continue to try and destroy Lopez got us thinking about other epic Latino rivalries in Hollywood. Here are five that are unforgettable.

Daisy Fuentes and Mariah Carey

Here's what went down: While Luis Miguel was dating Daisy Fuentes, the playboy singer cheated on Daisy with Mariah Carey. And in 1998, he also dumped Fuentes, his girlfriend of three years, for Carey. Something tells us Daisy's not a big fan of Mimi's music.

Jennifer Lopez vs. Ojani Noa

They tied the knot in 1997 and untied the same knot 11 months later. Since then, Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Ojani Noa have been involved in one of the most bitter rivalries of all-time! In 2006, when Ojani tried to publish a tell-all book about their marriage, Lopez sued him and won over $500,00 in compensatory damages. She sued him again in 2009 for $10 million when he attempted to release a film called How I married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story. Most recently, Noa tried to release a video tape of Lopez as a movie, but last Friday, an appeals court sided with J.Lo and ordered that an invasion of privacy lawsuit she filed against her first husband be handled in arbitration rather than through a public court case. While their latest fight is over, something tells us this rivalry isn't. Talk about unhappily ever after!

Univision vs. Telemundo

Univision's got the hit reality show, Nuestra Belleza Latina, Telemundo's got the top-rated telenovela La Reina del Sur and they've both got one big problem: each other! While Univision is considered the Spanish-language giant and has announced plans to launch three new networks by 2012, Telemundo is hot on the network's heels as the second-largest Spanish-language network in the United States. This spring, Telemundo even managed to steal "The Latina Oprah" (Christina Saralegui) from Univision, which should bode well for the network's ratings next year. On January 28th, 2011, Comcast completed a $6.5 billion dollar deal acquisition of a 51% majority stake in NBC Universal, acquiring control of Telemundo as part of the deal, so don't be surprised if Telemundo eventually dethrones Univision.

Perez Hilton vs. Carrie Prejean

The Queen of all Media has had plenty of rivals in Hollywood, including Black Eyed Peas singer, Will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, Rumer Willis and Lindsay Lohan, but his rivalry with Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean in 2009 is the Cuban blogger's most epic public fight. It all started when Perez served as a guest judge during the Miss USA pageant, and asked Prejean a question about same-sex marriage. Prejean replied that marriage should be between a man and a woman, and Perez, who thought the answer was homophobic, proceeded to blast Prejean daily on his website, Perezhilton.com, calling her answer the 'worst answer in pageant history," and calling her a dumb bi***." Ouch.

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato vs. Miley Cyrus

In 2009, best friends Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato made funny videos on youtube together where they danced, and joked around for hours. While we thought the videos were very funny and cute, there was someone who wasn't so impressed with them: Miley Cyrus. Cyrus and her best friend Mandy Jiroux must not have liked the attention Selena and Demi were getting, because they posted a video in which they mocked and imitated Demi and Selena, making fun of their outfits and their physical appearance.

With the recent revelation that Anthony Weiner (D-NY) did, in fact, Tweet a lewd photo of his, um, weiner, to a woman who was not his wife, all of us ladies in the office have just about had it! It seems like for the last few months there has been a never-ending string of men in the public eye who are intent on reinforcing the age old stereotype that men are total dogs and treat women like crap, so we decided to call them out.

Here's a list of our dirtiest Latino dogs.

The Ex That Won’t Go Away: Ojani Noa
Ojani Noa and Jennifer Lopez were married for less than a year back in 1997, but he just won’t leave her alone! For more than a decade Noa has tried to peddle his story to anyone who will listen, which it turns out, is actually quite a short list. He’s attempted to write a tell-all book, make a mockumentary and even release intimate home videos, only to be blocked along the way by La Lopez’s powerful lawyers. When will he ever learn?

The Cheese Dog: Mario Lopez
Mario Lopez is best known as the host of TV celeb news magazine show Extra, and is now happily shacked-up with his costar from his stint on Broadway’s A Chorus Line Courtney Mazza and their beautiful baby daughter Gia. But before finding domestic bliss, Lopez was a notorious cheater who was so out of control that he cheated on his first wife Ali Landry…just days before their wedding April 2004—no joke! Seven years after a two week marriage that was annulled, he admitted that things got a bit out of hand at his bachelor party and that he should have known he was not ready for the kind of commitment Ali was.

The Player: Alex Rodriguez
This Yankees third basemen has rounded home plate with more than his fair share of beautiful ladies, even while he was married. Rodriguez was linked to string of strippers while he was married to his long-suffering wife Cynthia before she finally kicked him to the curb amid reports he’d been cheating with Madonna. Shortly afterwards, he began seeing Kate Hudson, but their romance fizzled out before the end of the baseball season. For the last year, he’s been connected to Cameron Diaz in what is clearly a passionate on-again, off-again relationship. We’re just happy for Diaz’s sake that she is not interested in settling down and getting married anytime soon.

The Two-Faced Politico: Antonio Villaraigosa
Antonio Villaraigosa had the whole west coast swooning when he first popped up on the Los Angeles political scene. How romantic was it that he combined his last name with his wife’s in order to foster a more equal marriage and relationship. Too bad it all turned out to be a lie when he cheated on her with Telemundo reporter Mirthala Salinas and it was later reported that he was a longtime philanderer who had stepped out on his wife (with a family friend’s esposa, no less!) when she was sick and fighting cancer.

The Tease: Luis Miguel
Luis Miguel is a notorious ladies man who has left a string of broken hearts from Mexico City to New York. Although he rarely talks to press and even more rarely is photographed with his lovers, he’s been linked to everyone from Aracely Arambula to Daisy Fuentes to Mariah Carey. It’s even rumored that he and Fuentes may have rekindled their relationship as of late, leading to the unfortunate demise of the former MTV VJ’s 10-year engagement.

The Kiss & Teller: Wilmer Valderrama
Wilmer Valderrama is generally known as a nice guy around Hollywood, albeit one who loves the ladies. But he hit a low when he visited Howard Stern for an interview back in March of 2006 and proceeded to blurt out intimate details of his sexual relations with a sting of Hollywood starlets, from Mandy Moore and Jennifer Love Hewitt to Lindsay Lohan. A loose-tongued Wilmer said he took Moore’s virginity, and rated the sexual prowess of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ashlee Simpson. Gross!

The Blatant Womanizer: Eddie Cibrian
Sure, Eddie Cibrian is super hot. His dimples could charm the pants off of most ladies, and he knows it! Cibrian was caught with his pants down after starting a steamy affair with his (also married) costar Leann Rimes after they starred in the Lifetime film Northern Lights together. Cibrian denied the claims and then wife Brandi Glanville stood by his side, but he was forced to fess up when video emerged of the two sucking face at a restaurant.

The Baby Daddy: Benicio del Toro
Benicio del Toro managed to keep his dirty dog ways under wraps for most of his career—that is until his one night stand with Rod Stewart’s daughter Kimberly blew up in his face. After a brief encounter the two announced in April that they were expecting a baby, but were not a couple. At least Benicio said he would step up to the plate, his rep said, "Although they are not a couple, they are looking forward to the arrival of the baby."

The Old Horny Dog: Don Francisco
This Chilean TV personality (real name: Mario Kreutzberger) is best know as the host of the megahit Sábado Gigante but he’s also a dirty old man! In 1992 he was sued by one of the models on his show for sexual harassment and it is rumored that he has an estranged daughter living named Silvia Lozano living in the U.S. Most recently, he was forced to submit to a paternity test when a man named Patricio Flores Mondaca claimed that he was the popular television host’s son.
