Casper Smart, JLo, Marriage, Charlie Sheen And American Idol Judges

What does Charlie Sheen have to do with Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez? He wants her former seat on American Idol but more on that later. First, let’s talk about Casper Smart’s interview with ABC shedding light on his relationship with JLo and the possibility of marriage. The 25-year old backup dancer revealed how he and Jennifer began their relationship,

“I don’t think it was [love at first sight] for either of us,” Smart said. “It was just very natural how it happened. There was nothing before, no flirting, nothing.”

That certainly helps squelch any rumors that they were flirting while Jlo was still together with Marc Anthony.

Since their relationship began the once backup dancer has been promoted to the lead choreographer on his girlfriend’s North American tour with Enrique Iglesias. But despite the quick promotion and a divorce looming, Casper and Jennifer keep their professional relationship….professional.

“Sometimes, I tell her something, you know, give her notes. But at the end of the day, you know, it doesn’t matter what position is what, because she’s the boss, you know?” said Casper.

The Maid in Manahattan star was equally candid in her interview telling ABC’s Amy Robach that marriage is something she wold consider even with three divorces to her name,

“For me, the biggest dream is the fairy tale. I will never give up on that dream.”

While the former American Idol judge tells Amy that the media gets everything wrong about her it’s not hard to put two and two together that a marriage may be in the works. A source revealed to US Weekly recently,

“She’s telling friends she wants to marry Casper. She’s certain she wants to be with Casper forever.”

Back to Charlie Sheen. Anger Management star Charlie Sheen is putting in a word that he’s interested in sitting in one of two empty seats on American Idol. The actor placed the bug in the right ear of Idol host Ryan Seacrest on his radio show yesterday, “Seriously … I’m genuinely interested. It’s so different, it could be radical.” Charlie might not be Idol’s first interest but rumors are swirling that Beyonce Knowles has skyrocketed to the top of the list! Beyonce’s spokesperson has reportedly been contacted – this is getting interesting!!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
