Jennifer Lopez kicks squatter to the Cyber Curb.............





Jenny may be from the block, but she’s not going to let just anyone move onto her cyberspace.

jennifer lopez won her cybersquatting case against a phoenix man who had laid claim to jenniferlopez.net and jenniferlopez.org to make a buck.

the world intellectual property organization ruled that the two domain names owned by jeremiah tieman led j.lo fans to a website that generated paid advertising revenues. the out of sight star officially registered her name in the u.s. in may 1999.

tieman claimed the “fan sites” were meant to provide news and updates on the star, but arbitrator william towns disagreed.

“[tieman] registered two domain names that are identical to the complainant’s mark and has used those domain names to attract internet users to a website from which [he] generates pay-per-click advertising,” towns said in the ruling.



the arbitrator gave tieman 10 days to transfer the web addresses to the jennifer lopez foundation, the actress’ charity relating to better health care for women and children.

scarlett johansson, nicole kidman, madonna, julia roberts, tom cruise and other a-listers have dealt with similar cyber squatting issues.

Jennifer Lopez Starstruck by Barack Obama


Even celebrities get starstruck. Just ask Jennifer Lopez.

At the Latino Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C. on Sunday evening, the singer-actress said even with all of Hollywood flocking to the city for the inauguration, President-elect Barack Obama was undeniably the biggest A-lister.

"He is the biggest star here, even though it's chock-full of celebrities," said Jennifer Lopez. "The night he won the election, you could feel it in the air. I was … watching him with tears in my eyes, thinking, 'Yes. Something is different. Something is happening.' We're very excited."

"Washington's never had a bigger rock star at the helm," her husband Marc Anthony agreed.

At the event, Rosario Dawson – whose Voto Latino organization worked to register young Latino voters – said her pinch-me moment was meeting the Obama family Sunday afternoon at the We Are One concert event at the Lincoln Memorial.

"It was really incredible. They're really poised and incredible and just magnificent people," the actress told PEOPLE at the Latino Inaugural Gala. "I'm sort of, like, freaking out right now."

Throughout the evening, guests milled about the vast marble ballroom in Washington D.C.'s Union station, noshing on quesadillas and egg-salad sandwiches on mini-croisssants as a mariachi band played in the background. Other celebrities in attendance included George Lopez, David Archuleta and CNN's Soledad O'Brien. Shakira, the last celebrity to walk the red carpet, arrived sheathed in a green Oscar de la Renta gown in time to perform close to midnight. The pop singer was also pumped up about meeting the President-elect earlier in the day at the Lincoln Monument. "He said that he had my music (on his) iPod," she told PEOPLE. "I hope he was not being just nice."
