Those videos Jennifer Lopez wants to keep under wraps could be public as soon as Monday.

The lawyer for J.Lo’s ex is threatening to put 12 hours of footage into court files, where the media and others would have access to it.

“Jennifer Lopez does not want the home videos to be entered into the open court record,” lawyer Ed Meyer told RadarOnline.com.

The videos made by Ojani Noa during his brief marriage to Lopez have been widely described as sex tapes, though he claims they are not explicit.

“They think I have a sex tape with her and that I’m trying to sell it,” he told E! News earlier this week.

“My tape is from our honeymoon, the wedding, us hanging out. There’s no nudity – maybe one spanking.

“There’s moments of her fighting with her mom…couples having fun and kissing. If someone has a sex tape, it’s not me,” the 35-year-old added.

Lopez, 40, filed a $10 million suit against Noa this month to prevent him from releasing the video, taken during their 10-month union in 1997.

Noa reportedly was peddling a mockumentary film, titled “How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story.”

“I’m not going to harm anybody,” Noa said. “I’m a great guy. If I was going to hurt anybody I have had many, many chances to do it. I always wish her the best.”

But this isn’t the first time Lopez has tried to stop Noa from cashing in on her fame.

She won a $545,000 lawsuit in 2007 that put the kibosh on a tell-all.

Whatever Oprah Winfrey’s favorite things are this year, she’s keeping it to herself.

Viewers may have seen the last of her ‘Favorite Things’ episodes, the Huffington Post reports.

During the annual Thanksgiving week show, which first aired seven years ago, Oprah sent audience members home with items she plugged as her “favorite things.” The gifts often were worth thousands of dollars – and the episodes became notorious for the weeping, screaming, hyperventilating frenzy into which they whipped the audience.

The show is absent from this week’s lineup, and a spokesperson for Oprah’s Harpo productions told the Huffington Post, “We have no plans this season for a ‘Favorite Things.’”

Goods given away during the episode ranged from camcorders to refrigerators to DVD collections, and, the Huffington Post reports, offered an enviable product-placement opportunity for brands Oprah tapped, often leading to a huge spike in sales.

Last year, in response to the turmoil roiling the economic landscape, Oprah switched things up and featured gifts that were homemade or cost “next to nothing” and were sensitive to a recessionary environment.

Oprah made headlines and prompted tears around the world last week when she announced plans to end her long-running daytime show in 2011.

Of her decision to bid the show farewell, she said “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit.”

Olympian Michael Phelps has a thing for Miss California. Both of them.

Nicole Johnson, who just days ago was crowned Miss California 2010, admitted to TMZ.com that she had a year-long romantic relationship with the gold medalist.

“Now that it is after the fact, I will admit that we were together,” she said. “We agreed to keep this private because it was the only thing that he could keep private … we remain close friends.”

But it turns out, according to PerezHilton.com, that Phelps, 24, may have cheated on Johnson with none other than former Miss California and solo-sex tapist Carrie Prejean, 22.

“Nicole Johnson dated Michael Phelps for a year during 2007 -2008,” a source tells the site. “The main reason they ended their relationship is because Carrie Prejean started dating Michael… . and bragging about it while he was still with Nicole.”

Unfortunately for Johnson, even Prejean’s grandma said it’s true.

“Carrie and Michael have been out to baseball games and lunch,” Jeanette Coppolla told RadarOnline.com in April. “He always calls her when he is in town and they go out.”

And apparently, casual Carrie understood Phelps is a ladies man.

“Carrie knows that he has dated a lot of girls but she enjoys going out with him and isn’t serious about being in a relationship with him,” she said. “He’s a nice guy and she likes him.”

ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says clips may also air on “Good Morning America.” He says Brown will not perform live.

Brown is scheduled to release his album “Graffiti” on Dec. 8. He has previously spoken about the attack on MTV News and “Larry King Live.”

Rihanna was interviewed this month by ABC’s Diane Sawyer.

Tiger Woods’ wife used a golf club to smash a window of his Cadillac Escalade and get her injured husband out of the SUV after he crashed into a fire hydrant and tree early Friday morning outside his Isleworth mansion, Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn said.

In addition, a call report compiled by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and obtained by the Orlando Sentinel indicated Woods was unconscious but breathing when officers arrived on the scene. Woods was unconscious for about six minutes.

Elin Nordegren Woods was in the couple’s home shortly before 2:30 Friday morning when she heard the accident and came outside. She broke one of the windows and freed her husband from the SUV, Bruhn said.

Bruhn said Woods had cuts on his lips and blood in his mouth. Officers gave Woods first aid until medical personnel arrived.

Orange County Fire Rescue received the call for aid at 2:28 a.m. Woods was transported from his Windermere-area neighborhood by the hospital’s own ambulance.

It is not known whether Woods was wearing a seat belt. FHP said alcohol is not considered a factor in the accident.

FHP troopers arrived at the Woods’ home early Friday evening to talk to the golfer, FHP spokeswoman Kim Montes said. Woods wife told them Woods was resting and asked them to return Saturday morning. They agreed.

“People’s health comes first,” Montes said, noting that it is routine to agree to return to conduct an interview.

The sheriff’s office would not identify who dialed 911, and emergency audio tapes were not available on Friday.

When officers arrived they found the golfer outside of his car and in and out of consciousness, Bruhn said.

Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway and started driving away from his home on Deacon Circle about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant and drove into a tree on his neighbor’s property, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.

Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, FHP said.

Bruhn said Woods had facial cuts in a minor accident. Woods was treated at Health Central early this morning and released.

FHP spokesman Jorge Delahoz said patients’ conditions are always classified as “serious” if they are transported to a hospital.

Woods’ Web site, TigerWoods.com, said the golfer was treated and released and was in good condition.

“We appreciate very much everyone’s thoughts and well wishes,” the site said.

The crash is under investigation, and charges are pending.

“When I first heard about it, my heart jumped a beat. But then I googled it and found a story and it sounds like he’s OK,” veteran PGA Tour golfer Mark Wilson said. “Knowing him, he was probably leaving for an early-morning workout.”

Inside the gated Isleworth community, a security guard was standing post outside the front of Woods’ $2.4 million home. A woman who answered the door at the home at mid-afternoon declined to answer questions from the Sentinel.

A black Cadillac SUV was sitting in the driveway. FHP said Woods was driving a black Cadillac SUV at the time of the crash.

There were almost no signs of an accident at Woods’ home and his next door neighbor’s.

An orange-and-white street barricade sat on Woods’ front lawn atop a newly dug hole, presumably where the fire hydrant previously sat.

About 10 feet away, a foot-long tire mark was visible in the neighbor’s yard near a tree with freshly damaged bark. That oak tree had a few scuff marks on its trunk but was largely undamaged.

The airbags in Woods’ Escalade did not deploy, which means the vehicle was traveling under 33 mph, according to FHP.

According to his official website, TigerWoods.com, he is in the middle of a two-week break in tournament play. Woods next tournament is Dec. 3-6 at the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Thanksgiving got a little brighter for three elderly homebound East Harlem residents when Kathleen Turner knocked on their doors bearing a hot turkey dinner.

Turner, who increased the temperatures of millions in her 1981 movie “Body Heat,” did not make a big deal out of her celebrity status as she chatted with the seniors whose homes she visited.

“It’s so nice to meet you,” she said in flawless Spanish to Francisco Perez Vega, who was leaning on a cane and looking dapper in a red sweater.

It did not seem to matter that Vega, 85, didn’t recognize the former pin-up, who currently plays a sex-crazed talent agent on Showtime’s hit “Californication.”

He began to weep as she headed to the door. “Oh,” said Turner, walking back to him. “Give me a hug.”

Turner was one of more than 300 volunteers with Citymeals-on-Wheels who delivered 6,000 meals to homebound seniors.

Turner and her daughter Rachel Weiss, 22, celebrated Thanksgiving a day early so they could spend the day visiting others. The easygoing celeb did eventually introduce herself to one of the shut-ins.

“I’m Kathleen Turner,” she told Ernest Williams, her smokey voice still intact. “You might have seen me on TV, or in old movies.”

While most Americans spent Thanksgiving with family, Mackenzie Phillips had to find other ways to celebrate the holiday.

Two months after the publication of her memoir, “High on Arrival,” revealed the shocking claim that she had a consensual incestuous relationship with her father, late Mamas and Papas musician John Phillips, the actress said she was excluded from her famous family’s holiday gathering.

“I’ve been uninvited to the family Thanksgiving,” the actress said Wednesday on “Access Hollywood.”

The release of Phillips’ book, and her participation in the various media appearances that followed, is said to have caused a rift within the family.

“I can’t make them come back,” she said. “They have to come back on their own.”

Among those most upset at Phillips is her stepmother, Michelle Phillips, who has previously voiced support for her former husband, saying the incest accusations “should have been made while John was alive.”

“It’s just so strange that she thinks that I should have done it while he was alive,” Phillips said. “If I did, I’m sure she would have said I should have waited until he was dead. There’s never a right time for this family to hear this kind of stuff.”

Another family member who has turned her back on Phillips is half-sister Bijou Phillips.

“I have made attempts [to talk to Bijou]. She just says, ‘I want nothing to do with you,’ ” claimed Phillips.

But the actress says she can still count on half-sister Chynna, who was apparently upset Phillips wasn’t able to be at Thanksgiving with the family.

Despite getting the cold shoulder on turkey day, Phillips said she doesn’t hold hard feelings.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” she said. “I love Michelle.”
