LOS ANGELES - Jenny got her block.A judge granted singer Jennifer Lopez a temporary restraining order barring ex-husband Ojani Noa Tuesday from peddling sexy home videos of their brief marriage.Noa, 34, was in court without a lawyer and claimed after the ruling it was never his intention to sell the steamy camcorder footage.He said he planned to make a Borat-style mocumentary about his life as a Cuban immigrant."She is destroying my life," Noa told the Daily News outside court. "This is another proof of her power and money trying to stop me from moving on with my life."He swore the home videos were not for sale.
"I'm not making any money from these videos," he said. "This is about having a closure. It's my story."He said the videos from their 11-month marriage - including intimate moments shot on their 1997 honeymoon - were used only for inspiration."We were watching with writers and directors and producers because we were getting the script down. We were writing about the characters," he said. "They're trying to twist it, that everything is my fault. She's trying to step on my shoes and not let me move on with my life, and it's not fair."The racy reels include shots of Lopez, now 40, "fondling herself" over skimpy clothing and getting spanked, said a source who's seen the 11+ hours."It's not stuff a mother of two wants out in the public," the source told The Daily News.The judge ordered Noa and film partner Ed Meyer to turn over any materials related to the movie and advise third parties - including TMZ.com and the National Enquirer - of the temporary restraining order.Lopez filed a $10 million lawsuit Friday claiming Noa is violating a confidentiality agreement with his intent to produce and market the movie "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: the J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story," allegedly based in part on the home videos.The judge scheduled arguments for Dec. 1. Noa, who supports himself with modeling work, stands to get a "50 point" share of the mocumentary's net earnings, Meyer said.Lopez has "a very strong probability of success," Judge James Chalfani said citing non-disparagement clauses in the couple's divorce agreement and a 2005 settlement stemming from an employment dispute over Noa's work at Lopez's restaurant Madre's.In 2007, Lopez won a $545,000 arbitration award that barred Noa from shopping a tell-all manuscript about their brief union. The proposed book reportedly claimed Lopez cheated on him with her current husband Marc Anthony.Noa says he plans to challenge the legality of his settlements with the Bronx-born beauty."I don't really believe in my (2005) agreement. My lawyer wasn't a real lawyer, he went to jail," Noa told the News. He added that Lopez hired and paid for his lawyer in their divorce."I was therefore coerced to settle," he said in a court statement.Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/11/10/2009-11-10_jennifer_lopez_granted_temporary_restraining_order_barring_ojani_noa_from_sellin.html#ixzz0WVSQJdJY
