Quote:Things are heating up for Jennifer Lopez and her dancer beau Casper Smart.

So much so that the two spent Thanksgiving weekend at the St. Regis Princeville Resort in Kauai, Hawaii, with Lopez's 3-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

Smart was even photographed on the beach playing with the kids. At one point he lifted Emme and twirled her around in his arms.

A bikini-clad J. Lo, 42, and shirtless Smart, 24, also drank fruit cocktails at the poolside Trina Turk cabana on Saturday.

"Getting ready to go wakeboarding and ride some ATV's!!!!" Smart tweeted yesterday.

Later on, Lopez and Smart took a helicopter ride for some aerial sightseeing over Kauai.

The relationship isn't as casual as many have assumed. "It's pretty serious," a source said. "They're together a lot. She's never been happier."

The twosome jetted off for the tropical vacation just days after they showed some major PDA at Lopez's American Music Awards party at Greystone Manor in West Hollywood.

Lopez goes back to work later this week with a trip to Morocco to perform on Thursday at the opening of the Morocco Mall in Casablanca.

Nice body. He must know how to use it -- I don't see anything else appealing about him.

Well, Jennifer's track record with men isn't particularly good.

And look, she's back to work to open -- a mall?? Wow - now that's impressive!

Not just a mall, one of the five largest in the world. It will have two Starbucks!

I wonder how much they are paying her. I found this story from February 2011 that suggest she doesn't come cheap.

Quote:Leona Lewis, Jennifer Lopez and Amy Winehouse are all understood to have been paid $2 million for private functions in the past. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/cheryl...ig/747519/

I don't see how it can make economic sense to pay such an astronomical appearance fee. Yes, I know they will get more than that in free publicity. But the bottom line is her appearance is unlikely to increase sales enough to cover the fee.

Uh oh Texas -- watch out. There's competition for the biggest mall! (LOL!)

Obviously "sense" of an "economic, good, or otherwise" fashion would not seem to be at play here. But, oh my!?!?
