Jennifer Lopez - may we suggest extra strength Excedrin? A few days ago Waxword reported that a producer had put on the market 11 hours of home video from her marriage in 1997 to Cuban waiter and model Ojani Noa.

Today, the producer confirmed that he sold the footage to TMZ, which is unlikely to treat the diva with white gloves, or any gloves at all.

TMZ "has entered into a contractual agreement with me for the exclusive rights to the Ojani Noa / Jennifer Lopez home movies, that I had previously optioned from Ojani Noa," producer Ed Meyer wrote as a "courtesy" - if sticking your tongue out at your adversary can be considered a "courtesy" - to Lopez's lawyer, Jay Lavely.

Lavely threatened legal action last week over Meyer's planned "mockumentary" about Noa's ongoing quest to find requited love with his ex-wife. That is scheduled to begin shooting in February.

A mockumentary and home movies?

I see a sweeps week special in J. Lo's future.
