Jennifer Lopez – Backup Dancer/Boyfriend – All Smiles On Road Trip

TMZ has obtained a photo of Jennifer Lopez with her new BF — and backup dancer — Casper Smart … taken while they were traveling in Europe.

According to our sources, Lopez and Smart spent the first few months as “just friends” — flirting, talking and just hanging out — but lately they’ve been touchy-feely in front of JLo’s other dancers.

We’re told the mood of rehearsals has shifted — she’s a lot more focused on Casper … who is 24. Jennifer is 42.

‘AGT’s’ Daniel Joseph Baker Debuts Fierce Original Song at Yahoo!

Daniel Joseph Baker–or “Daniel Josephine Baker,” or “this generation’s Liberace,” as judge Sharon Osbourne affectionately dubbed him during his tragically all-too-brief run on “America’s Got Talent”–was really the only reason to ever watch “AGT” other than Prince Poppycock. Oh, how I grieved this season on that horrible night when this peacocking piano showman, unabashed Gaga obsessive, and potential Trevor Project posterboy was voted off the show (ironically the same night that Poppycock returned for a guest performance). The Fierceness was gone from “AGT” forever.

Dancing’s Cheryl Burke: Rob Kardashian Is Not Distracted By Kim’s Divorce

Cheryl Burke, a two-time Dancing with the Stars champ, feels a little rusty being in the semifinals. “It’s been a couple seasons since I’ve made it this far, so I have to get used to it again!” she tells TVGuide.com. “But I’m very excited to be back and to have a shot at another final.” Burke and Rob Kardashian will duke it out for a spot in the final — with three dances — against J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, Ricki Lake and Derek Hough, and Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. “I think it’s going to be close,” Burke says. “J.R.’s gotten amazing scores and he is amazing, but every single week, it changes. I think it could be any of us making the final and I just really hope it’s us.” See what else she has to say about preparing for the semis, doing three dances and if Kardashian really name-drops USC as much as it seems.

‘DWTS’ Contestant Hope Solo: We Have No Game Plan

Dancing with the Stars contestant Hope Solo and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy have come up with a unique strategy for their upcoming dance — they don’t have one.

“We have no game plan,” Hope confessed during a rehearsal last week. “We’re taking it one day at a time.”

The reasoning behind their new improvised method comes from trial and error.
