VL Friday Briefing: Argentine loss, JLo says hells no and more

16:29 H | Topics: Features - VivirLatino

Too much stuff to talk about so we might as well round it up:

JLo's is in court trying to make sure a tell-all book about her vida sexual by ex-husband Ojani Noa doesn't get published.

"Sadly, no personal detail is too sacred to be sold by Noa for profit," state the papers filed by Lopez's attorney, Paul N. Sorrell, according to the Associated Press. "Noa will do anything within his power to make money off his ex-wife. He is out of control."

Pobrecitos, Argentina lost to Germany in the World Cup Quarter Finals. I know who I was rooting for, so this makes me sad. Now on to Brazil vs. France tomorrow. (World Cup Blog -- a really good site!)

Mexicans are being called on to report voting irregularities during this weekend's presidential elections. Apparently, there are concerns specifically about people trying to sway the vote at the last minute:

On election day no one should attempt to shift the direction of the vote through:

a) Acts of propaganda;
b) Payment or promise of money or other compensation;
c) Written commitment of the intention or direction of the vote.

The Mexican government has opened up centers and phone lines to report voting irregularities. (Chilanga Banda)
