Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez maintain a united front amid cheating rumors
The romance between Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez has looked like perfection from the outset, with A-Rod gushing about how "incredible" his lady is and J.Lo praising Alex for being "so supportive." This week, however, two rumors surfaced with allegations that seemed to destined to change things. So what's really up with these two? According to the National Enquirer, Alex is being badmouthed by a woman named Lauren Hunter who claims she's had a steamy affair with him for the past five years, said he's cheated on Jen and made various claims about his sexual preferences. Shortly after Lauren spoke to the tab, TMZ reported a mysterious "ex" was trying to shake down the former Yankees star for $600,000. E! News reports the ex has threatened to reveal incriminating text messages from Alex if he doesn't pay up. None of the rumors seem to be putting a dent in their relationship, though. "Jennifer knows what's going on. Alex has been very honest," a J.Lo insider tells People. "She doesn't believe he has gone behind her back since they started dating. They both have a past. Jennifer is focused on now and her future with Alex. She isn't going to let someone from Alex's past ruin what she has with him. They are one big, happy family and that will continue. Jennifer has never felt more loved and taken care of than with Alex. He is her biggest fan. He supports and encourages her every day. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him." After the couple flew to Las Vegas together last week ahead of Jen's shows there, they both shared a photo of themselves swimming with their kids with happy, "Sunday funday" captions. For now, at least, it looks like they're not letting the rumors get to them.

"I called my agents and said, 'This is such a terrible script.' They said, 'Well, seven women want it so … you're the only one who's not vying for the part.'

Leonardo DiCaprio signs deal to help save endangered porpoise
Wildlife advocate Leonardo DiCaprio is working to save another species. The actor recently signed an agreement with the president of Mexico and multibillionaire Carlos Slim to protect the vaquita porpoise from becoming extinct. Fewer than 30 of the porpoises remain because gillnet fishing used to catch totoaba, a delicacy that earns fisherman top dollar in China, has caught so many of the porpoises as well. The agreement aims to ban the use of gillnets, according to the New York Post. Both Leo's foundation and the Carlos Slim Foundation have promised to aid in the development of fishing options that do not involve gillnets in the region near California where the porpoises thrived prior to the unauthorized fishing. "This action is a critical step towards ensuring that the Gulf of California continues to be both vibrant and productive, especially for species like the critically endangered vaquita," Leo said. The World Wildlife Fund, Sea Shepherd and the Marisla Foundation are also supporting efforts to save the porpoises.
