J.Lo Closes Book on Ex

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Jennifer Lopez won’t be getting exposéd anytime soon.

The "Enough" star’s first ex-husband, Ojani Noa, agreed Friday to a preliminary injunction that prevents him from going ahead with his plans to pen a tell-all book about his former missus.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Yaffe signed off on the order, preventing the need for the hearing that was scheduled for today in which Lopez and Noa’s camps were going to duke it out over Noa’s right to free salacious speech. The current injunction will remain in effect until a non-jury trial is held to determine whether Noa’s project should remain permanently out of sight. That particular day in court has not been scheduled yet.
