MARC ANTHONY stormed out of an interview with a Univision TV reporter on Wednesday (08Jun11) after she refused to stop quizzing him about his wife JENNIFER LOPEZ’s ongoing legal battle with her ex-husband OJANI NOA.
Lopez’s lawyers have won the latest round of the fight to keep intimate footage of their client from porn sites after Noa’s girlfriend, the new owner of the home video clips, and his manager Ed Meyer went to court to appeal a lock on the film.
Meyer, who has since started mailing segments of the video to news agencies and websites, has revealed he has received lucrative offers from X-rated film sites to buy the footage, even though it’s not a sex tape.
And when Anthony was asked to comment about the story during an interview in his New York office, he turned frosty, repeated "Next question" six times and then walked out - after chatting for less than three minutes.

Legal representatives for THE DOORS have threatened to file suit against the owner of a French bar dedicated to the legendary rockers.
Lawyers acting on behalf of the Light My Fire hitmakers are challenging Christophe Maillet to change the name of the Paris establishment Lezard King, remove all The Doors-themed cocktails from its drinks menu and take down all posters from the bar. The venue’s name is a tribute to The Doors’ tragic frontman Jim Morrison, who was nicknamed the Lizard King.
Maillet admits he failed to seek authorisation for the bar’s name and will bow to their demands if they refuse to step down, reports the AFP.
He says, "The Doors did not want to be associated with a drinks bar… I thought I was doing a good thing, burnishing the image of The Doors. I didn’t ask permission but I suspected they would immediately refuse if I did." Maillet has been given 60 days to make the changes or face legal action.
Morrison died from a drug overdose in Paris in 1971 and was laid to rest in the local Pere Lachaise cemetery.
His bandmates, Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger, will be in the French capital next month (Jul11) for a concert to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the rocker’s death. Krieger and Manzarek will perform at the Bataclan on 3 July (11).

Eighties pop pin-up COREY HART has revamped his cult hit SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT for his protegee.
The reclusive songwriter has always refused to allow anyone to reinterpret his first hit, but now he’s hoping to give Marie-Christine - the first artist signed to his Siena Records label - a big boost by revamping the 1984 anthem.
Hart tells Spinner.com, "I’ve refused maybe 35 requests by successful artists (to sample or cover the song)… but she (Marie-Christine) sings it a hell of a lot better than I do; I don’t come close to having the soul she does." The Haitian/Canadian singer revamps the tune on her new single Girl in Shades.
And Hart has landed his protegee another big boost on her debut album - Stevie Wonder agreed to guest on a cover of his tune Keep on Running.

People are really, really embracing the show and they’re really enjoying themselves… and we have officially been picked up for a second season."

The original KARATE KID, RALPH MACCHIO, plans to celebrate his 25th wedding anniversary by renewing his vows with wife PHYLLIS - and writing a book about his amazing marriage.
The actor wed Phyllis Fierro in April, 1987 and he’s planning a big bash to celebrate the anniversary next year (12) - but he also wants to give others the chance to see how it’s possible to make a Hollywood marriage work.
He tells Life & Style magazine, "We’re talking about renewing our vows. That would be really nice. We have a lot to celebrate; we’ve been through so much. We’ve earned it." And Macchio insists the couple’s secret is simple: "Commitment… Believing that you’re meant to be together and knowing at the end of the day that this is the person I should be with." His solid marriage will form the basis of a new tell-all - inspired by the success of pal Rob Lowe’s new biography.
The actor explains, "I think it’s time to tell my story. I don’t have a crazy background, but I have some things to tell.
"(Lowe’s book was) definitely interesting."

KELSEY GRAMMER’s ex-wife CAMILLE has landed a small victory in the first round of the couple’s bitter custody battle - a judge has granted her request to ban any friends and relatives from living at the former couple’s vacation properties.
The former Frasier star has filed for primary physical custody of their six-year-old son Jude, effectively splitting him from his sister Mason, nine.
Camille, who has challenged Grammer’s claim by lodging her own legal papers for sole custody of both kids, has raised fears for her children’s privacy while staying at their various holiday homes and requested a judge to forbid any overnight stays by members outside of their immediate family, reports TMZ.com.
Her lawyer Neal Hersh brought the motion before a judge on Thursday (09Jun11) and he ruled in her favour, stating that any visitors had to get written consent from both Grammer and Camille.
Grammer is pushing for the custody case to go to trial.

Director JULIE TAYMOR’s battle for royalties allegedly owed to her by the producers of Broadway’s SPIDER-MAN stage show is heading to arbitration.
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, which opened for previews last year (10), has been plagued by numerous problems, including on-set accidents, delays and spiralling costs.
The Across The Universe moviemaker stepped down as the musical’s director in March (11), shortly before the superhero show was closed for a major overhaul.
Taymor claims she has yet to receive full compensation for helping to create the $70 million (£43.75 million) spectacular, which has been years in the making, and officials at the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society filed an arbitration claim against producers on Thursday (09Jun11) on her behalf.
In the papers, union bosses allege producers "failed to pay to Ms. Taymor any royalties for the run of the production".
Phil McKinley was hired to replace Taymor and the musical, which recently reopened for previews, is set to officially launch on Tuesday (14Jun11).

Actress/model ESTELLA WARREN is facing time behind bars after she was slapped with four misdemeanour charges following her DUI arrest last month (May11).
The Planet of the Apes star was detained in Los Angeles late on 23 May (11) after reportedly slamming her Toyota Prius into three parked cars and allegedly driving away. She was held on suspicion of DUI, but allegedly resisted arrest and tried to kick one of the officers.
Warren was escorted to a local police station to be booked for the accusations, but managed to slip out of her handcuffs and run out of the building during proceedings.
Charges for DUI, hit-and-run driving, battery on a cop and resisting arrest were officially filed against Warren on Thursday (09Jun11). She faces up to two-and-a-half years in jail if convicted on all counts, reports TMZ.com.
Reports initially suggested she would face an extra charge for felony escape - but that count was not included because she ran from the police station before she was technically booked for any crime.
Warren is due in court to face the charges next week (begs13Jun11).

Singer SHERYL CROW accidentally flashed her underwear during a performance at the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday (08Jun11).
The hitmaker took to the stage in Nashville, Tennessee in a short white skirt to perform a tune with host Kid Rock, and when she stood, Crow briefly gave the crowd - and TV viewers - a quick peak of her undergarments.
However the Grammy Award-winning star took the mishap in her stride and later laughed off the wardrobe malfunction, saying, "People all over America are tweeting that I was wearing a really short skirt when I sang with Kid Rock and that when I got up off the stool, I showed my underwear… (At least) I was wearing underwear, ‘cos I am good, clean family entertainment."

Actor JON CRYER had just minutes to determine whether he and new TWO AND A HALF MEN co-star ASHTON KUTCHER had comedy chemistry, because TV bosses "threw everything together" within a matter of days.
Kutcher was announced as fired Charlie Sheen’s replacement on the hit sitcom on 13 May (11) and the Just Married actor made his public debut as a castmember at a TV industry event less than a week later, hitting the stage at the CBS Upfronts alongside Cryer and teenage co-star Angus T. Jones.
Cryer admits they had little time to bond as programme bosses rushed to fill Sheen’s spot and stick to their tight production schedule in order to get the show back on air by the end of the year (11).
He tells U.S. TV host David Letterman, "We had a very quick meeting to see if we could deal with each other and we could. They threw everything together very quickly, so they had to fly us to New York to put us in front of advertisers for the Upfronts, so we got the CBS corporate jet." Cryer became a little worried things wouldn’t work out quite as well as he’d hoped after Kutcher made a playful comment onboard the flight.
Cryer jokes, "What gave me pause was, Ashton came on the plane (and) he said, ‘Ah, you know what I love about private jets? You can bring knives onboard!’ Yeah… that’s what I love about private jets!" Production on the new Two and a Half Men series begins in August (11).

Clumsy actor JOSH DUHAMEL was teased mercilessly by his co-stars on the set of the new TRANSFORMERS movie after spraining both his ankles in one day.
The star earned the embarrassing nickname of ‘H.R. Stumblesnstuf’ because of his on-set accidents during the filming of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third installment of the robot franchise.
Duhamel’s list of injuries included two busted ankles, which he hurt during his lunch break, and the army professionals he was working with didn’t let him live it down.
He tells E! News, "I actually got a little bit hurt this time (in this movie), not because it was dangerous, but because I’m a klutz. I sprained one of my ankles before lunch and then after lunch I sprained the other. I’m not kidding you. I sprained not one, but two ankles in the same day. My nickname amongst all the actual Navy SEALs on my team became H.R. Stumblesnstuf."

Busy actress JADA PINKETT SMITH has developed unique ways to catch up on her rest - and once even fell asleep while standing against a wall at a nightclub.
The Matrix Reloaded star admits juggling her career with her role as a mum often leaves her exhausted - and she has to come up with clever ways to catch up on her sleep.
She says, "The craziest place I ever fell asleep was probably at the club. I was standing up against the wall, exhausted. Speaker right here (next to her ear), music going. And I was just knocked out.
"I don’t usually get to sleep too much at night. I get maybe, like, four or five hours a night. I usually take little cat naps throughout the day. I catch 10 minutes here and there. And it works for me."
