Serial monogamist Jennifer Lopez has reportedly got engaged to new love Marc Anthony - only three months after splitting from ex-fiance Ben Affleck. Affleck and J.Lo called time on their 18 month relationship in late January, only for the singer and actress to start dating Latin pop star Marc Anthony, an ex-flame, weeks later. According to American tabloid New York Post, the Maid In Manhattan star has given Affleck back her pink diamond engagement ring and is flashing a new jewel from Anthony. A friend says, "She is wearing a huge diamond ring on the middle finger of her left hand. It is a diamond band with a huge square clear diamond in the middle and the square diamond is surrounded by more tiny diamonds. It is an engagement ring." J.Lo's spokesperson says, "I don't know about that ring."

Movie teen Scarlett Johansson has confessed she enjoyed a raunchy encounter with 37-year-old actor Benicio Del Toro in a hotel elevator, labeling the spontaneous experience "unsanitary". The Lost In Translation beauty was spotted canoodling with the Oscar winner at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles before the Academy Awards in February, and stunned guests claimed she later invited him up to her room. But the actress has sensationally revealed the location for their sexy antics was actually the elevator. She says, "We were making out or having sex or something, which I think is very unsanitary." Johansson - who admits she only entertains the prospect of dating men in "their thirties" - was reportedly seen cavorting with 33-year-old film hunk Jared Leto in Los Angeles last month.

In the suit, Geron claims the fall "greatly impaired her health, strength and activity" and that it was "an extreme shock to her nervous system".

Troubled actor Don Johnson has been accused of failing to pay an Aspen, Colorado grocery store $5,470, according to court reports. The Miami Vice star is facing court action from a series of other Aspen businesses - including the Aspen Valley Hospital, Isberian Rug Co, Holy Cross Energy and Garfield & Hecht law firm - who are suing Johnson for outstanding bills.

This year's Tony Awards shortlist has honored Boy George's shunned musical Taboo, despite the devastating reviews and financial problems encountered by the production. The Rosie O'Donnell-produced stage spectacular failed to capture the American imagination when it relocated from London's West End to Broadway last year. But Taboo garnered an impressive four nominations when the shortlist was revealed yesterday, including Best Score for Boy George and Best Actor in a Musical for leading man Euan Morton. Other big name nominees include X-Men star Hugh Jackman, nominated in the Best Lead Actor In A Musical category for his portrayal of Liza Minnelli's gay ex-husband Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz. Musical Wicked, which tells the Wizard Of Oz story from the witch's perspective, leads the pack with ten nominations, closely followed by Steven Sondheim's musical Assassins and the Lincoln Center's production of Henry IV. The Tony awards will be given out at a glitzy ceremony in New York on June 6.

American lifestyle queen Martha Stewart's legal team are planning to enter a plea for leniency in a bid to keep the media mogul's prison sentence to a minimum. Stewart was found guilty of stock market fraud and deception earlier this year and her hopes of winning an appeal were dashed when a New York judge ruled against a desperate re-trial attempt last month. But her legal team are still fighting, claiming a lengthy spell in jail could hurt the eponymous company she runs and result in the unemployment of 500 staff. According to New York's Wall Street Journal, the lawyers plan to cite a 1995 Appeals Court decision which spared a corporate executive a sentence because he was deemed to be crucial to his company. Stewart, who will hear her fate next month, could face 20 years behind bars, although she's likely to spend one to two years in prison.

Celebrity pals Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's friendship is on the rocks after a string of arguments while making the new series of The Simple Life. Hilton and Richie were launched to the A-list after they dumped their rich, partying ways to live on a farm and have just finished making the second series, in which they go on a road trip. A source on the Fox reality show tells American website Pagesix.Com, the studio will have to do "a lot of crafty editing" to make Richie and Hilton look like best friends in the series. The source adds, "They were constantly at each other's throats. There was a lot of time when they just weren't speaking." A Fox spokesperson maintains the show will not be edited to alter the truth, saying, "The show is completely authentic."

Kirsten Dunst is secretly glad she didn't get to work with her real-life boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal on the Spider-Man sequel - because the critics would have savaged them. Gyllenhaal was tipped to take over from Tobey Maguire when the Seabiscuit star briefly fell out with producers. And, though Dunst is keen to work with her beau, she thinks Spider-Man would have been a big mistake. She says, "Jake and I will work together down the line. I was happy it wasn't Spider-Man. It wouldn't have been good for the movie. It's so much better that Tobey played Spider-Man."
