The J.Lo TATS Cru mural suit has been settled, The Daily News reports. The unauthorized use in a Fiat ad was resolved at high speed, and while terms are confidential, the Cru seems down with it. "I'm happy they turned around and are doing the right thing," said Cru member Wilfredo (Bio) Feliciano, the paper noted. Fiat's owner, Chrysler said in a statement, "We are pleased to announce that that the parties have reached an amicable resolution to this matter. Details of this agreement are confidential." The commercial first caused trouble for J.Lo when it turned out she hadn't actually been in the hood for the filming, dispite the fact that she says in the ad, "this is my world," as a shot of the Whitlock Ave., E. 165th St. TATS Cru murals, in the Bronx are shown.

Jennifer Lopez: TATS Cru Sues Over Her Fiat Commercial

Steve Granitz, WireImage Jennifer Lopez 's new Fiat commercial seems to be bringing the singer more harm than good. After reports surfaced that Jenny from the Block actually filmed her parts driving around in the vehicle in L.A. rather than in her hometown of Bronx, N.Y. -- the commercial's original setting -- she's now coming under fire for including a graffiti-covered wall in the clip. TATS Cru, a South Bronx graffiti crew , is suing the 42-year-old 'On the Floor' creator for showcasing their work in the commercial without consent. The appearance of the artwork has triggered a copyright dispute because the image is copyrighted and was used without Tats Cru's permission . In the visuals, titled 'My World,' Lopez is depicted driving around various neighborhoods in the Bronx. The camera pans to images of breakdancers, children playing on the street and a mural that features the TATS Cru's work reading "I love the Bronx" -- love is replaced b

Jennifer Lopez's New Man Charged for Speeding [PHOTOS]

Jennifer Lopezs new man, Casper Smart, faces charges for speeding over 100mph and illegal drag races. Reportedly, the 24-year -old dancer has paid a $26,000 bail since facing the charges.

Before the court appearance, Smart is also required to do 10 days of community service. Smart has been ordered to complete 86 hours of community service for driving without a license in 2007, and as he couldn't prove that he had finished, he almost went to jail for it. His criminal record was from 2004 - driving without a license and speeding - to 2010 for speeding in California. He was originally arrested on March 3, 2006 for driving on a invalid license, and then arrested in 2010 for drag racing a friend down a LA freeway.

Fri, Nov 25, 2011 The New Paper JLo's Smart moves by Charlene Chua JENNIFER Lopez rocked the house when she performed on stage with her man at this year's American Music Awards (AMA). And no, it wasn't Marc Anthony. The US actress-singer's former husband may have looked spiffy as he gyrated to Rain Over Me with sexy female dancers at the awards show, which was telecast from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles yesterday. But the man she was steaming up the place with was her back-up dancer and new beau, Casper Smart. This is the first time that Lopez, 42, and Smart, 24, have appeared together on a public platform, since news of their budding romance broke more than a week ago. Lopez started her performance of her hit Papi by pretending to forget the words. Her voice cracked and she looked down. Then she suddenly threw off her cape to reveal a gold bustier and a naughty grin. She later launched into another of her hits, On The Floor, with Smart - who sports a shaven head and

Jennifer Lopez did not film her new FIAT ad in the Bronx as advertised, it has been revealed. The Smoking Gun reported earlier this week that the singer and American Idol judge, who appeared in the car commercial promoting her native neighbourhood, used a body double for the on-location shots.

A spokesperson for FIAT confirmed the report, telling Japonik : "Both FIAT commercials featuring Jennifer Lopez were indeed filmed in the Bronx as well as outside locations. In today's world, people are increasingly mobile and their work takes them to a variety of locations.

Jennifer Lopez: mehr rger wegen Fiat-Werbespot

Jenny from the block? Nicht, wenn der Block, also mit andern Worten, ihre Nachbarschaft, sich in Beverly Hills befindet, weit entfernt von der Gegend, in der sie aufgewachsen ist. Zum Glck hat Jennifer Lopez sich noch nie was aus Skandalen gemacht, denn diese Woche sorgte sie gleich fr mehrere, und zwar nicht nur aufgrund ihres neuen Tnzer-Beaus oder gemeinsamen Auftritts mit ihrem Ex-Gatten, sondern wegen ihres Deals als neues Gesicht von Fiat. J.Lo musste zunchst harte Kritik einstecken, dafr, dass sie bei den diesjhrigen American Music Awards dreiste Schleichwerbung betrieb, indem sie den Fiat 500, den sie bewirbt, mit in ihren Bhnenauftritt einbezog, und das Ganze damit mehr einem Werbespot glich als einem musikalischen Act. Doch damit nicht genug, nun hat sich auch noch herausgestellt, dass sie zwar das Gesicht der neuen Kleinwagen-Kampagne ist, der Krper jedoch einer anderen gehrt. Was hat es damit auf sich?

Jennifer Lopez - Fiat Rep Defends Jennifer Lopez Over Bronx Body-double

Bosses of car giant Fiat have jumped to the defence of Jennifer Lopez after she was criticised for not heading home to The Bronx to film scenes for the company's New York-based advert. The Jenny from the Block singer is the new celebrity spokesperson for the car manufacturer, and stars in a 60-second commercial which purportedly shows her driving through the gritty streets of her old New York neighbourhood in a brand new Fiat 500. In the ad, she refers to her roots, saying, "Here, this is my world. This place inspires me to be. To be tougher. To stay sharper. To think faster. They may be just streets to you, but to me they're a playground." However, the star came under fire from online gossips after it was revealed a body-double was hired to play Lopez in her hometown scenes. Now a spokesperson for the Italian company has insisted Lopez did not need to be in the area to be inspired by it. Spokesperson Dianna Gutierrez says, "The commercial tells the story of how

AMAs 2011: Jennifer Lopez, OneRepublic embarrass themselves

This is a post largely about a couple songs that don't even deserve to be written about. Jennifer Lopez gave what will surely be the most cringe-inducing, embarrassing performance of the night at Sunday's American Music Awards with her "On the Floor." It wasn't that Lopez wasn't really wearing any clothes, as audiences expect that nowadays. Instead, it was Lopez's choice of an accessory, which in this case was a car. When the actual commercial ran not too long after the performance, the only difference was the emphasis on the name of the brand. Worse, however, was OneRepublic, which arrived simply to tell the world that it'd been living quite well off its one massive hit, "Apologize." New song "Good Life" is little more than a city-by-city list of where the band has thrown away cash. "My friends in L.A., they don't know," sang Ryan Tedder, "where I've been the past few years." He then told us: China, Pari

I like a touch of sexiness and I love glamour - old school Hollywood glamour. I also come from the Bronx area in New York and grew up in the hip-hop in the hip-hop area, so that style is very ingrained in me.' Jennifer, 42, also revealed how she is very involved with the clothes she wears on the red carpet as she wants her outfit to 'represent' her. The mother-of-two told LOOK magazine: 'I'm very involved. The stylist can bring a rack of clothes, but at the end of the day I have to pick what I'm going to wear. Although they can put an outfits together, the truth is that it has to repre
