Los Angeles, Aug 22: Jennifer Lopez reached an out-of-court settlement yesterday with director Adam Shankman who had accused the singer-actress of having stolen his idea for a movie. Shankman, who directed Lopez in "The Wedding Planner," sued for three million dollars in May, claiming she had taken his idea for a film based on the opera "Carmen." According to documents in the superior court of Los Angeles, Shankman claimed to have told Lopez that she was a great singer and would be ideal for such a project. The suit alleges that she tried to sell the idea to Universal Pictures as her own. Bureau Report
