Lopez awarded $545,000 in lawsuit

Jennifer Lopez will be given $545,000 after winning a lawsuit against her former husband Ojani Noa.

The Maid in Manhattan actress filed the suit after it was revealed that her former love was planning to write about the star being unfaithful to him in a book about his life.

Lopez successfully won the case, arguing that Noa was in breach of a contract with which he had agreed to not reveal any information about the pair's relationship.

A judge ruled yesterday that the star's ex-husband should never be allowed to publish details in his memoirs that are "criticising, denigrating" or that may place Lopez "in a negative light".
