J.Lo Closes the Book on her Ex

Jennifer Lopez won't be getting exposéd anytime soon.

The Enough star's first ex-husband, Ojani Noa, agreed Friday to a preliminary injunction that prevents him from going ahead with his plans to pen a tell-all book about his former missus.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Yaffe signed off on the order, ending the need for a hearing that was scheduled for today in which Lopez and Noa's camps were going to duke it out over J.Lo's desire to stop the presses. The current injunction will remain in effect until a non-jury trial is held to determine whether Noa's project should remain permanently out of sight. That particular day in court has not been scheduled yet.

As it stands, Noa is forbidden from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement to plaintiff," the order obtained by L.A.'s City News Service states. He also is not allowed to profit from the disclosure of "any private or intimate details about [Lopez] or [his] relationship with [her]," and he can neither peddle his manuscript to prospective buyers nor accept any cash for it.

And, in case Noa has already played show and tell, he was also instructed by the court to retrieve any book materials or manuscript copies that may be in other people's possession. Those people, if there are any, are also required to obey the court order and keep their lips sealed.

According to court documents filed June 23 on Lopez's behalf, Noa was prepared to let loose a barrage of private details, including a recap of his alleged first sexual experience with his ex and other tales of Lopez's "extracurricular" activities.

Per the injunction, both sides should in the meantime try to "resolve their dispute without engaging in further litigation."

Lopez also obtained a temporary restraining order against Noa's book fodder in April, stating that his attempts to make money off her personal life--including his attempt to get $5 million from her in exchange for squashing the project--was a violation of a legal settlement the two arrived at in October, part of which required Noa to keep "private or intimate details" about her under wraps.

"Noa will do anything within his power to make money off his ex-wife," Lopez's attorney, Paul Sorrell, wrote in the more than 285-page brief he filed last week, "and thinks nothing of willfully breaching the agreement and hurting [Lopez] in the process. He is out of control."

Yet Lopez really loved Noa once, or at least liked the look of him. They met in a Miami restaurant, tied the knot in February 1997 and divorced 11 months later. The "Aint it Funny" singer then engaged in a nine-month marriage with choreographer Chris Judd that legally ended in 2003 and talked the talk with Sean "Diddy" Combs and Ben Affleck before walking the walk for a third time with Marc Anthony in June 2004.
