J.Lo Gives Special Performance at Staten Island School


Jennifer Lopez made graduation day very special for a lucky group of Staten Island, New York, elementary school students Tuesday.

The star dropped into P.S. 37, a school for autistic children, on Tuesday, where she performed "Let's Get Loud" for a group of eight 10- and 11-year-olds, the Associated Press reports.

Teacher Kathy Amati told the AP that after her students saw a video of the song, they wanted to watch it every day, learn the lyrics, and practice Lopez's dance moves.

Inspired, they wrote letters to Lopez, who was so charmed that she decided to come to their graduation.

Jen & John's Romantic pre-tour dinner


Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer enjoyed a romantic dinner in Beverly Hills, the night before his scheduled departure for a European tour.

"They were super affectionate and super sweet," a diner at Madeo tells PEOPLE. "They were kissing and rubbing arms."

Mayer is schedule to leave Wednesday for Europe for a 10-night tour starting in Denmark. He returns to the states in July. There was no word yet on whether Aniston would be joining him abroad.

At their dinner Tuesday, the couple had reason to be so touchy-feely. They spent last weekend in the lap of luxury at the seven-acre beachfront compound owned by Girls Gone Wild mogul Joe Francis, in Punta Mita, Mexico.

The couple, who traveled with a group of Aniston's friends, never left the grounds of Casa Aramara, which features a 1,000-square-foot gym and three houses spanning 40,000 square feet. They had their meals prepared by a five-star chef and were tended to by the estate's 15-person staff.

According to a source, the couple's room was even equipped with an "anything" button, which allows guests to request anything they want every time they press it

there's no drama between Jen Aniston and Jennifer Connelly

Jennifer Aniston publicist has been quick to kill reports the actress has fallen out with Hulk star Jennifer Connelly.

According to U.S. magazine reports, Aniston wanted to keep her He’s Just Not That Into You co-star Connelly from appearing on the cover of an upcoming issue of Marie Claire magazine.

But Aniston’s representative insists the rumor is “absolutely absurd,” adding, “There is no drama whatsoever.”

The spokesperson tells Us Weekly magazine, “Marie Claire wanted Jennifer alone. It was our idea to make it a group cover. The magazine only wanted to put three of them (actresses) on the cover, and definitely wanted Drew Barrymore. We recommended Ginnifer Goodwin because she is basically the lead role in the film… Jennifer got along great with Jennifer Connelly.”

John Mayer jump for ladylove Jen Aniston


Bellyflop!

John Mayer goes shirtless for girlfriend Jennifer Aniston as he jumps into the pool in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on Monday.

The pair was seen cuddling by the pool, enjoying the weather and each other.

Ms. Aniston also recently landed in the Forbes‘ Celebrity 100 List, ranking at #17. Unfortunately, John didn’t make the list! The mag summarizes Jen in the following way: “Aniston is toiling on a handful of quirky films: family comedy Marley & Me and dating drama He’s Just Not That Into You. She still collects a sizable paycheck for syndication of iconic NBC sitcom Friends. .”

Joel and Nicole is not getting married


Star magazine started a rumor that Joel Madden and Nicole Richie would be getting married later this month. Joel took to his blog to set the record straight. He says:

"So i feel really stupid even posting this, but i’ve been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren’t invited to my wedding. I guess the only answer i could give them was that i didnt know we were having one. So i just found out that star magazine wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and thats where it came from. Sooooo if you were pissed at me for not inviting you or even telling you, dont blame me, theres nothing to worry about. Its just star magazine. How long do you think it will be before they write we called it off, or we broke up? i give them a week or two……"

Joel’s family must still be in a bit of shock that he got Nicole knocked up before they were expecting it, and he may not have told them until long after she was pregnant. It’s no surprise Joel’s family might believe he’d arrange a wedding without telling them. Trust is difficult to earn, and easily lost.

Tom Cruise Bombproof his Cars


Tom Cruise is driven around in vehicles that are bomb proof armored vehicles, disguised to look like regular vehicles, according to In Touch:

“It sounds like he’s taken a page out of one of his action movies. A-list celebrities know they can’t be too careful. Tom’s vehicles look perfectly normal, but in reality they are more like armored trucks. He really, really loves his cars and he can afford the best.”

All of Tom’s chauffeurs are professionally trained defensive drivers, says the insider, so they can get him out of traffic problems and protect him from possible trouble. Still, he often prefers to drive his wife, Katie, and his three children himself.

“Tom is a car nut,” the insider adds. “He has practical everyday cars, classic collectibles and high-powered sports cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo. Of course he loves every minute behind the wheel, but he’s not stupid and he’s not going to take any chances while he’s driving.”

Tom’s SuVs might be armored, but his Porshe 911 isn’t, and neither is his motorcycle.

Jennifer Aniston n John Mayer jet to Mexico


Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are taking their relationship in a new direction – south of the border.

Last Friday, the couple – who first stepped out in public in April – headed for a little R&R at Casa Aramara, the sprawling beachfront home of Girls Gone Wild mogul Joe Francis, in Punta Mita, Mexico.

The house is a hot spot for celebs: Demi Moore celebrated her 45th birthday there in November, and Aniston has visited the pad with former beau (and costar) Vince Vaughn and platonic pal Orlando Bloom.

This time around, the couple and a group of friends spent the weekend lounging on the house's beachfront patio, enjoying their Mexican getaway.

"Jen spent time laying out on the loungers on the patio. John was always around, standing by her, making sure she was comfortable," says an onlooker.

Before departing for Mexico, Aniston and Mayer were also spotted discreetly holding hands June 12 while double dating with Aniston’s BFF and former Friends costar Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette.
