It seems obvious that Jennifer Lopez’s rebound romance with Casper Smart is bad news ... but it’s taken this long for a story calling him out to emerge. According to In Touch magazine, the pop singer is letting her lover mistreat, fire and alienate her staff, not to mention drive her friends away.
“Jennifer gives 110 percent when she’s this smitten,” a pal explained. “She’s letting Casper call all the shots, and that’s starting to upset some of her friends.”
Her decision to name him head choreographer of her tour reportedly prompted her tour manager to quit: “He thinks it’s a bad move on J. Lo’s part and doesn’t want to be involved,” an insider said.
And Jennifer’s assistant and pal Gilly Iyer has allegedly left after “Casper insisted that Jennifer’s staff call him Mr. Smart and demanded that Gilly get him drinks,” the source said.
Ex Tension
Jennifer Aniston is threatening to dump Justin Theroux if he doesn’t break off contact with ex-girlfriend Heidi Bivens — at least, if you believe OK! magazine.
The former “Friends” star is said to have hastened to relocate to Los Angeles with her beau after a stint in New York was too close to his ex for comfort. But it turns out that in this day and age, people are capable of long-distance communication, and that supposedly didn’t sit well with Jen.
“Jen’s had it,” a source said. “As if it’s not enough that she’s getting grief over the Brangelina engagement, with everyone pointing out that she’s still childless and husbandless, now she’s still got this hangover from Justin’s past haunting her!”
“She told him he had to decide between her or Heidi — and it caused a huge bust-up,” the source said.
Whoa, deja vu — where have we heard this story before? Oh, right! It was about Angelina Jolie threatening to dump Brad Pitt if he didn’t break off contact with Jen.
Healthy Lifestyle?
Less than a week after she was hospitalized, Rihanna “was dancing up a storm” at a New York club on Saturday, a source told Page Six.
Last week, after attending the Metropolitan Museum’s annual gala, RiRi tweeted a photo of herself with an IV in her arm. But Saturday, a club actually stayed open past its usual 4 a.m. closing time to accommodate her.
We are not feeling good about Rihanna’s life choices lately.
