Jennifer Lopez, dressed in gold Dolce & Gabbana, and Casper Smart dined at Ago, one of their favorite LA spots, last night following her appearance on American Idol's results show. She joined judges Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson on the panel and said farewell to contestant Shannon Magrane — do you agree with Idol's results? Shannon wasn't the only singer dropped from the competition this week. The show's producers sent home Jermaine Jones after learning he lied about his criminal past.

Earlier this week, J Lo returned from Mexico where she was on location filming her upcoming music video "Follow the Leader." She's dropping other music too, with news that her next single, "Dance Again," will hit airwaves on March 30 and the video will debut on April 5. Jennifer posed for the April cover of Vogue and talked openly about her relationship with Casper. She's not the only one commenting about the younger man in her life; her manager Benny Medina also weighed in on their romance, saying, "When she commits to anything in her work, her life or her relationships, she is in it."

George Clooney held a quick press conference following his release from a Washington DC jail this afternoon. He and his father Nick were arrested earlier today for protesting in front of the Sudanese embassy, and were charged with disorderly crossing of a police line. George was let out of custody after posting $100 bail and took the opportunity to speak to the press about his message on the humanitarian issues in Sudan and South Sudan.

George said: "Listen, what we've been trying to achieve today is we're trying to bring attention to an ongoing emergency. Our job right now is to try to bring attention to it, and one of those ways was, apparently, get arrested. You never know if you're going to accomplish anything, all we're trying to do is bring attention to a moment. We hope this brings attention to it." When asked what his girlfriend Stacy Keibler might think of the arrest, George joked that she's "probably thrilled."

J Lo also posed for photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for a sexy inside spread. She's gearing up for the Spring release of What to Expect When You're Expecting while also juggling her American Idol judging duties, fashion ventures, and musical projects, including the recent taping of her new video for "Follow the Leader." J Lo was on location in Acapulco earlier this week with boyfriend Casper Smart, who showered her with kisses in between takes. For the publication, J Lo chatted with Jonathan Van Meter about Casper, her image, and the difficulties of motherhood. Here's more from Jennifer Lopez in Vogue:

  • On her diva image: "Sometimes I think it's just because I have a nice car and I'm not afraid to wear a big fur."
  • On her demeanor: "By nature I am not tough, believe it or not. No. I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he's pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen. But my son will just scream and yell and run. I'm like, Aaaaah, what do I do with this?!"
  • On her boyfriend, Casper: "He's adorable. But you already see that. He's a good egg. I don't want to talk about it too much. It's my private thing."
