Continuing to live the luxurious life in Portofino, Italy, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were spotted spending time out with designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce over the weekend.
Earlier today (July 6), Lopez and Anthony stepped out with their designer friends for a shoe shopping stop followed by lunch in town.
Meanwhile, the night before, the foursome headed out of Stefano Gabbana’s house for a boating trip aboard a luxury yacht - followed by a night of fine dining.
The “El Cantante” couple’s summer vacation comes at the end of Marc’s European tour, which made stops in Spain, Belgium and Italy.
Meanwhile, insiders tell that “Jennifer is expected to resume work later this week, and has already has a number of film projects lined up including the romantic comedy Love and Other Impossible Pursuits.”

After finishing up with a string of South American and European performances with a show in Rome on Wednesday, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have made a much-needed vacation stop before returning to the States.
The “El Cantante” co-star couple were spotted clad in their swimwear earlier today (July 4), enjoying the scenic landscape of Portofino, Italy alongside designer Stefano Gabbana.
And now that Marc has finished up his work overseas, the “I Need You” singer will be launching a string of US shows beginning on July 26th in Universal City, CA.
The Juntos en Concierto series will see $2 donated to the ING Run for Something Better program for every ticket sold - helping the national initiative “fund school-based running and fitness-education programs.”
“Through my music, I want to make a difference in the lives of young people across the country,” Anthony told in a statement. “One way is by addressing the critical need to help reduce childhood obesity among Latino children.”
A-List Secrets: Why Stars Need Reality Shows
What’s with celebs needing to do all these reality shows? Are these people so obsessed with themselves, or do they just need the money? D.D.
The answer is as varied as the colors of the diamonds that Jennifer Lopez sees dancing in her dreams. Jamie Foxx has a new MTV reality show debuting July 15, but he won’t be appearing at all, leaving money as the most likely motivation.
In producing a reality show, big celebs typically get “a 5 or 10 percent takeback from everything made through the show,” explains marketer Richard Laermer, who steered über-producer Peter Guber into a reality-show career. “And if the show goes overseas, you can make a fortune on that thing.”
So where does that leave, like, Tori Spelling? Well…
With a drama-turned-reality star like Tori, a flagging career is the likely motivation. She was on Beverly Hills, 90210 in the early 1990s. Then people forgot about her for a while. The Earth rested and everyone was at peace.
Except for Tori, of course. Back she came. She hyped herself and her life through a couple of seasons of Tori and Dean: Something Something Something, and behold, the comeback. She landed an endorsement deal with NutriSystem. She has enough of a fan base for people to care about the birth of her second baby. She’s front and center in a Sketchers ad campaign. Even the death of her dog is news.
“Just like the stock market, celebrities have to aggressively maintain and refreshen those brands, or they will go stale and grow old,” says James Lee, president of the Lee Strategy Group, a marketing consultancy that has pitched celebrities for reality shows.
Speaking of stale and old, gotta go. I think my editor needs something.
Oh, and be my fan on Facebook, ’kay?
