Jennifer Lopez has spent most of her singing career at Sony Music Epic Records, but after today, that relationship ended like most of her marriages-cold turkey! Some say Lopez fulfilled her Sony contract with her last two singles, while others are speculating that Sony dropped her.
Her manager Benny Medina confirmed the split this morning.
"Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction her career as an actress and recording artist. She is grateful and appreciative to everyone Sony for all that they accomplished together."
Lopez insiders claim the decision was "a mutual one" between the star and label’s current CEO Rob Stringer (younger brother to Sony parent company CEO Howard Stringer). The rumor is the two had a meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles during Grammy week, and, after a "heart-to-heart" conversation, the star and executive decided to end the long relationship. “It was all very amicable. They hugged at the end of the meeting,” claims one. Meanwhile, Sony will still be releasing her "Greatest Hits" album in the fall.
There also is disagreement on how finished her upcoming album was before it was canceled. Internet reports say her 7th studio album, titled "Love?", was supposed to come out in April. A song from it titled "Fresh Out The Oven" surfaced online in October 2009 as a buzz single and reached #1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs chart. But the official lead single, "Louboutins", had its radio debut on November 23 following the song's premiere and performance at the 2009 American Music Awards and then peaked at #31 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.Lopez insiders claim the album was "by no means done" and everyone was "only a few songs into it" and "unlike movie dates, street dates rarely hold in the music biz". Others say the album isn't being released because "Louboutins" bombed, as did her performance at the American Music Awards.
Supposedly, Lopez hasn't wasted any time getting signed elsewhere: it’s rumored she is already in talks with Island Def Jam’s bigwig L.A. Reid to come to his label.
Could Jennifer stage a comeback? Or should she call it quits?

Looks like 2010 has brought a new love into the Rated R singer's life! That's right, Rihanna's found a new beau, Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp!
The 21-year-old singer, introduced to Kemp, 25, by friends in November, is currently vacationing with the outfielder at a luxury resort in Cabo San Lucas.
While hanging poolside on Jan. 4, the lovebirds "couldn't keep their hands off of each other," says an eyewitness, adding that once back on their patio the pair "kept kissing while gazing out over the ocean."
"Rihanna wants the world to know that she is happy with Matt," says an insider. So far, things between them are looking good. He certainly kept her "constantly giggling," says an onlooker, when they went shopping at The Grove outdoor mall in L.A. on Dec. 22.
"They've only had a few opportunities to be together, but those times have been fun," says Kemp's agent Dave Stewart.
Adds an insider, "They really like each other."
Happiness in 2010? We couldn't think of anyone who deserves it more than Rihanna! (People)

Los reyes de la bachata Aventura were on El Show de Cristina esta semana setting the record straight on rumores sobre Romeo's sexual preferences y la separación del grupo. Romeo left no room for doubt about either.
"Quiero dejar claro que no soy ni bisexual ni homosexual. No tengo un pelito de pájaro. No entiendo de dónde uno puede crear esa reputación. Hay artistas que por estilo se parten en tarima, pero yo no hago eso y no sé de donde empiezan esos rumores."
Although we think he could've used a better word than "pájaro" to make his claim, he went on to clarify that he isn't homophobic and in fact has several gay people around him that he admires and appreciates (none of whom are members in the group).
De los rumores de la separación we were surprised to find out that it's actually Henry Santos who wants to venture out and do his solo thing y no Romeo como piensa la gente. Mikey even defended Romeo saying that Tommy Mottola offered el cantante un cheque en blanco to sign as a solo artist and he turned it down!
"Vamos a hablar aquí sin hipocresía porque creo que la gente merece conocer la verdad. He tratado en muchas ocasiones de mantener este grupo unido y tengo la reputación de que soy el que quiere romper Aventura. No tengo inquietud de ser solista. Mi primo Henry es un chico muy talentoso, y por favor 'dile al público que eres tú el que quiere hacer tu proyecto como solista.'" [People En Español]
Hmm, we wonder what will come of this Aventura drama! In the meantime, you can check out Henry Santos when he makes one special chica's dreams come true for her quinceañera on the next episode of Quiero Mis Quinces, este lunes a las 9pm EST!

EXCLUSIVE CHISME FROM OUR PREMIOS SPIES: Turns out Paulina Rubio had a crowd of label executives sweating bullets at rehearsals for Los Premios MTV 2009 yesterday in L.A.
Not only was her rehearsal for tonight's performance hot, but someone had accidentally shut down the AC at the Gibson Amphitheater and the room was sweltering before the error was noticed and someone turned the air back on! Keep logged onto Blogamole all day and during Los Premios because if there is any more drama happening at Los Premios we will let definitely be blogging about it!
Make sure to tune in Tonight at 10pm to watch Paulina turn up the heat with Cobra Starship at Los Premios MTV 2009 live on MTV Tr3s!
According to our Premios spies, Hills star, Audrina Patridge and Venezuelan actor, Wilmer Valderrama spent most of last night together rehearsing their script for Premios MTV 2009. We can't imagine them having such a long script to work on, especially for a show with such a promising line-up including performances by Wisin y Yandel & 50 Cent, Cobra Starship & Paulina Rubio, and Shakira! So the next logical reason why they rehearsed until the wee hours of the morning is because Audrina will be speaking in Spanish! They couldn't possibly be doing working on anything else right?! *cough*
Parece que a Audrina se le olvido el español! As this clip from the first episode of Karlifornia season 1 shows, Audrina can speak and understand Spanish!
Looks like this could be one of two things (1) a serious case of amnesia or (2) a stomach full of butterflies! We're going to go with número dos! What do you think?
Of course, there's only one way to find out. Tune in to MTV Tr3s tomorrow at 10pm to watch Los Premios MTV 2009 and see for yourself if the sparks are flying between Wilmer and Audrina!

Khloe Kardashian's upcoming wedding to NBA player Ladam Odom came as a huge surprise to some -- most of all to his ex-fiancé Liza Morales. Especially since she found out that her former flame was engaged via text message! Ouch!
Morales expressed her shock at la noticia to E! News:
"I didn't believe it because I got it in a text message, so I thought it was a joke... I think marriage is a life commitment and it is not something you rush into. This is not a fabulous pair of shoes, or a fabulous custom-made suit we are talking about. So I would definitely say he is acting on impulse."
Liza and Lamar were high school sweethearts who began dating when Liza was just 17, and broke up two years ago. La pareja had 3 children together, one of whom died of SIDS in 2006.
Liza also called Lamar a "commitment-phobe." Hmm... we wish Khloe and Lamar mucha suerte en su matrimonio. And it looks like they might need it! [Latina.com]

Pregnancy rumors came spilling in after bella cantactriz Belinda fainted on the set of su telenovela, Camaleones, in which she stars opposite Pee Wee and Alfonso "Poncho" Herrera, last week.
Others attributed el desmayo to her recent break-up con jugador de fútbol, Giovani Dos Santos, after being caught partying with another guy at a nightclub. That might be more likely, since Camaleones producer, Rosy Ocampo, has now confirmed that Belinda is indeed NOT pregnant. Menos mal! [Latin Gossip]
