Jennifer Lopez emerges victorious in the first round of legal battle

A judge has stopped Ojani from releasing a documentary about his and JLo’s short lived marriage

A judge here has stopped Jennifer Lopez's first husband from releasing a so-called documentary featuring the ex-couple's short-lived love life and an expose of her allegedly cheating ways.

Ojani Noa, who has been trying to milk his role as Lopez's husband No. 1 ever since their marriage broke more than a decade ago, has been pitching "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J. Lo and Ojani Noa Story", for a couple of weeks.

Lopez filed a $10 million lawsuit Friday and requested an injunction preventing the release of any footage featuring her.

On Monday the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James C Chalfant agreed to keep the movie on lockdown until a further hearing Tuesday on whether to make the injunction permanent.

Chalfant will also decide whether to grant a request by Lopez's attorney, John H Lavely, to review all video material, sexually explicit or otherwise, Noa and his manager-producing partner Ed Meyer plan to shop around so he can determine if they violated the ex-couple's nondisclosure agreement.

Meyer and Noa believe they are skirting the terms of a confidentiality agreement by fictionalizing parts of the story and hiring actors to re-create scenes. Meyer told E! News that production will begin in January.

A court-appointed arbitrator ruled in Lopez's favour and awarded her $545,000 in compensatory damages. Well it looks like JLo is having the last laugh for now.

"Christian Louboutin The United States has stepped up as the most significant donor and has arguably been more effective than the Pakistani government in the relief and rescue operation, experts say. More than half the food provided to flood victims has been distributed by USAID, and Americans have delivered more than $90 million dollars in aid to Pakistan, according to the State Department. The World Bank has pledged $900 million to help rebuild Pakistan. Christian Louboutin Pumps Even before the floods, Congress last year passed $7.5 billion in aid to Pakistan, part of an effort to undercut the insurgent groups that easily cross between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.N. Secretary- General Ban Ki Moon are likely to press the international community to contribute more to the relief effort when the U.N.'s General Assembly meets today. The number of people suffering from the flooding exceeds the total of those affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, according to the United Nations. Christian Louboutin ShoesOxfam America has raised less than $500,000 from private donors for flood relief, compared with $17 million it raised in the two weeks after the tsunami. WedgesAshraf Qazi, chairman of the Council for Pakistan Relations, said a slack effort by the international community in Pakistan ""could potentially cause a very serious social upheaval."" ""It's been the stated policy of the U.S. government that we want to win the hearts and minds of Pakistanis as anti-Americanism has run rampant there,"" Qazi said. ""If nothing else, there's a huge opportunity here."" "
