Poor old J.Lo isn't having much luck at the moment. With her love-life under the microscope and her last movie Gigli laughed out of cinemas, the all-singin', all-dancin' diva is now on the wrong end of a lawsuit thanks to one of her videos.
Lopez is being sued by Maureen Marder, the woman whose life was the inspiration behind hit 1983 movie Flashdance. The promo for Jen's single I'm Glad was filmed as a "homage" to the Paramount flick and Marder is a little peeved that no-one asked her permission.
"Flashdance owes both its story and its soul to Maureen Marder," lawyer Robert Helfing told E!. "But she received almost nothing for her contribution, accepting a small sum of cash from the producers who told her the movie was only generally about dancing and would not feature the details of her life.
"In the last 20 years, she has tried to put that betrayal behind her, but she is penniless, disabled with a spinal injury, and trying to raise a teenage daughter. Now her life story is on the screen again--and other people are profiting from it--with no acknowledgment of her rights, let alone fair compensation for her contribution. We tried to resolve this claim without litigation, but Sony and Lopez ignored us"
Jennifer's people wouldn't comment on the case, saying "We don't think it's appropriate to comment on a complaint we haven't even seen."
