Jennifer Lopez Swaps Casper Smart's Bentley For Pick Up Truck

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Casper Smart is living the life right now! His superstar and super rich girlfriend is gifting him galore. Jennifer Lopez‘s latest offering? A 25th birthday surprise party with a brand spanking new winter white Dodge Ram pickup truck to boot.

The American Idol judge, 42, surprised her backup dancer beau with the shiny pickup the morning of his surprised birthday dinner at the upscale eatery Cecconi’s in a private room.

“She knew that Casper really wanted a truck, and Casper was very excited about the generous gift,” a source said.

“Casper was so excited about his new truck that he decided to drive it to dinner. She was smiling about Casper’s excitement.”

And excited he should be because the gifts didn’t stop there! A new truck and a star-studded surprise dinner at a swanky restaurant wasn’t enough for her beau, the birthday guy was treated to a shopping spree followed by a fancy lunch before the dinner shocker.

“He was very touched. . . [Jennifer] really likes that guy.” So much so that she opted to leave her gorgeous white Bentley at home and ride in Casper’s new truck. Did we mention Casper also has access to said Bentley?

Lopez’s fellow Idol judge Randy Jackson was there to help Casper celebrate where the guests dined on steak, a must-be Casper favorite because of Jennifer’s special request, after noshing on chicken salad and shrimp salad. And she didn’t forget the cake, “a huge special one” from an outside bakery.

The “Dance Again” singer looked the part of the birthday guy’s date in a body-hugging-every-curve low-cut turquoise number with matching clutch.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
