It's only been a couple of weeks since Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced they were ending their seven-year marriage, but rumors are already circulating that J-Lo is looking for love elsewhere.
BET.com is reporting that Lopez and Diddy are hooking back up again.
A source close to Diddy told BET that J-Lo is "the love of his life" and that he's ecstatic to be back with his "fantasy girl."
This latest development should not be a surprise to anyone that knows J-Lo's history with men. The American Idol judge has always seemed to have a back-up ready when she's grown tired of a relationship. The singer's marriage to Anthony was her third. She was previously married to Ojani Noa and Cris Judd. In 2004 she almost wed actor Ben Affleck.
Diddy and J-Lo's previous love affair took a major hit in December 27, 1999 when the two were at a Manhattan club with then Bad Boy artist Shyne, who fired gunshots injuring three people.
While leaving the scene, Diddy and J-Lo were stopped by police who found a gun inside their car. Diddy was charged with felony gun possession. Their relationship ended a year later. That obviously isn't stopping then from giving it another try, but people close to J-Lo aren't exactly happy about it.
"Puff wouldn't be my first choice for her, but then again he was always very supportive of her sex symbol image and never got mad when she wore sexy clothes. He actually encouraged it," sources told BET.

At Mexico's state run Cereso prison in Juarez, the inmates really are running the asylum.
On Monday a group of prisoners somehow got their hands on machine guns and assault rifles before attacking a group of rivals, killing 17 people including a woman, and injuring 72 others. All of it was captured by surveillance cameras.
The footage shows two inmates talking to two guards, who then walk away. Seconds later the prisoners are seen unlocking a holding cell allowing several gunmen to enter it and start firing. The gunmen can even be seen reloading their weapons.
Investigators found 729 shell casings from the one minute and 40 second attack.
The El Paso Times reports that the massacre was carried out by Artistas Asesinos and Mexicles gang members associated with drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. They are reportedly at war with the Carrillo Fuentes backed Aztecas.
Investigators say that the Artistas Asesinos and Mexicles also threw a party before the attack. Four females including a 15-year old were smuggled into the prison. Several guards may also have been present.
400 inmates were tested for traces of gunpowder and an AR-15 rifle was recovered. Investigators are still looking for five other guns that were used according to ABC-7.

Amy Winehouse's family believe she died as a result of alcohol withdrawal after she stopped drinking cold turkey.
"Abstinence gave her body such a fright they thought it was eventually the cause of her death," a source close to family told Britain's The Sun.
Known as a heavy drinker, Winehouse had reportedly been advised by her doctor to quit drinking gradually, but she ignored the advice.
Her father, Mitch Winehouse, denied reports that his daughter had been binge drinking in the 72 hours leading up to her death.
"He said doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid binging at all costs. Amy told him she couldn't do that. It was all or nothing and she gave up completely," the source told The Sun. "Mitch said the shock of giving up, after everything she had been through over a bad few years, was just too much for her to take."
The 27-year old Winehouse was found dead at her London home on Saturday (July 23).
Toxicology tests are being performed, but the results won't be known for weeks.

Shyne (left) on stage in Jerusalem with his friend & collaborator, Orthodox reggae star Matisyahu.
Shyne's ever changing career has taken another turn.
Once a gangster rapper signed to Diddy's Bad Boy record label, Shyne has decided to give up both sex and cursing according to The Jewish Chronicle.
The 32-year old born Jamal Michael Barrow, converted to Judaism and changed his name to Moses Michael Levi, while serving nearly a decade in prison for a nightclub shooting.
After his release from prison in October 2009, he was deported to his native Belize. Soon afterwards former Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid, flew to Belize and signed Shyne to a recording contract for between $1 million and $5 million.
But the time in prison cost the "Bonnie and Clyde" rapper his voice and swag. Diss records aimed at 50 Cent and other tracks like "Roller Song" were universally panned by fans who hated his new sound.
Eventually Shyne left Belize for Jerusalem, where he now lives, studying Chasidism, a sect of Judaism.
"While some people might call it a religious epiphany and say 'he found God', I say no, I'm just smart," he told TCJ.
He promises to no longer have females in his videos out of respect for his religion. In addition he has given up sex and cursing.
"You know what? You know how much I love women, I'm going to be shomer habris [refrain from all sexual activity unless married] until this record comes out," he said.
The record Shyne is speaking about is actually two. In 2012 he is supposed to release "Messiah" and "Gangland." One is a collaborative effort with Jewish reggae star Matisyahu.
As for his new look and sound, Shyne says if fans can accept Lady Gaga and her wild wardrobe then they will be ok with him as well.
"There's a girl by the name of Lady Gaga and she's the number one pop artist in the world and she wears outfits that are stitched together with meat," he said.
What do you think of Shyne's new outlook on life? Will Def Jam even release his albums now given that he's not the artist they thought they were signing?

Twitter has become the hot spot for news, entertainment information and the occasional rap beef. One person who knows how powerful the social networking site has become is 50 Cent. With nearly 4.8 million followers, the G-Unit CEO has seen firsthand how much influence a single tweet can have.
In a recent interview with HipHollywood, 50 breaks down what tweeting is all about.
"What a tweet is -- it's spontaneous. I think it's entertainment," Fif tells HipHollywood. "For an entertainer, you're entertaining the people that are there. It's not necessarily your thought process or who you actually are. It's not a representation of your character if you're conscious of what your audience wants."
Recently 50 got into a war of words with radio host Laura Ingraham and Bill O'Reilly over comments he made about Fox News' negative coverage of Chris Brown's recent appearance on The Today Show.
"I've seen things that I wrote on twitter on the national news," 50 said. "It will make you slow down a bit when you see it's covered that widely. When you can get national coverage from your cell phone wherever you're at it says something. I don't know exactly what it says, but it says something."
Follow 50 Cent at twitter.com/50Cent so you don't miss out on up to the minute information on what's going on in his world. I promise you there's never a dull moment.
After taking some time to think about it, 50 Cent has decided against leaking his 'Detox' collaboration with Dr. Dre titled "The Psycho."
Last night 50 said on twitter that he would be releasing the record today at 2pm, but changed his mind today, citing Dre's positive influence on his career.
"I wouldn't leak dre's record he has done nothing but help me in my career. jimmy has always been supportive of me," 50 tweeted today.
While things appeared to have cooled down a bit, Fif did sound off on the leak of his record "I'm On It."
"I don't know how I can record 41 song for my album and the one song I give interscope leaks But I don't care its good music," he wrote.

Kim Kardashian's entire career has been based off of her good looks and killer body. What happens if that gets taken away from her?
The reality tv star/model was recently diagnosed with psoriasis, an incurable skin disease that affects 7.5 million Americans according to The National Psoriasis Foundation. The disease causes red, flaky patches to appears all over a person's body, but usually not the face.
While certainly not life threatening, you could see how this could negatively impact a model's career.
“Psoriasis!? I cannot have psoriasis,” Kim told her dermatologist on Sundays episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect. When I gain a pound it's in the headlines. Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots. I have to wear a sports bra and I have this rash all over my stomach. What will the producers say? In a photoshoot they can just photo-shop it out but this is on video. They can't hide this."
Kim got the hereditary autoimmune disease from her mom Kris, who has had it for 25 years.
If Kim K can't model what would she do for a living?

KarmaloopTV caught up with Jay Rock on the eve of the release of his new album 'Follow Me Home' to chop it up about what he's been up to lately.
The Watts, California rapper talked about his group Black Hippy, which consists of himself, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Kendrick Lamar. Jay said the group is working on it's debut album at the end of 2011 or early 2012.
He also talked about gangs being a positive influence on the youth.
"I think with gangs it could be a positive outlook because all it takes is for the older guys to come school these younger guys on the right road," Jay said. "I got big homies that have been through the same things that I've been through and they made it out and changed their life. And they come back and snatch young cats up and lecture them and let them know this is the right way to do it. That's what a gang is supposed to -- family protecting family."
'Follow Me Home' is in stores now.
