Ojani Noa's book -- written by a ghost writer, but never published -- alleges Lopez had multiple affairs, including one with her third and current husband, Marc Anthony, when he was married to someone else, court papers show. Noa had offered not to publish the book if the actress gave him $5 million, according to her suit.

The arbitrator, Richard Chernick, also awarded a permanent injunction preventing Noa, 31, from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement to plaintiff," and directing him to turn over to the actress or her lawyer all copies of materials related to the book. "The book proposal clearly contains material that violates the terms referenced (in) ... the settlement agreement," Chernick stated in his seven- page decision.

In June 2006, Noa agreed to a preliminary injunction issued by a judge that also stopped him from disclosing personal information about their relationship for monetary gain. He also had agreed not to engage in such conduct as part of the settlement of a prior lawsuit, then breached that accord by attempting to publish the book, Lopez's court papers state.

The arbitration award was issued April 20, but not made public until Lopez's attorney, Paul N. Sorrell, filed court papers Monday asking Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael C. Solner to confirm the award in a hearing scheduled Sept. 5. Lopez, 38, sued Noa in April 2006, alleging breach of contract and requesting arbitration. Arbitration is a legally binding settlement overseen by a retired judge or another person chosen to hear both sides.

Noa said during a July 30 court that he did not attend the arbitration hearing and did not know what transpired. His manager accompanied him to court, but he said he still does not have a lawyer. Noa could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday. The award consists of $200,000 in compensatory damages for breach of the Lopez-Noa settlement agreement; nearly $300,000 in attorneys' fees and almost $48,000 in arbitration costs.

Sorrell maintained in his court papers that Noa was bound to arbitration by the terms of the October 2005 settlement of another lawsuit in which Noa sued Lopez in 2004 for breach-of-contract, alleging she lured him into taking a managerial job in 2002 at Madre's, her Pasadena restaurant, then fired him five months later. Noa, who was paid $1,000 a week while working for Lopez, received a settlement of $125,000 and agreed not to disclose private information about their relationship or disparage his ex-wife, according to court documents.

During a Jan. 29 hearing in the current case, Noa objected to arbitration and said he wanted the benefit of a public trial of the case. But another judge said Noa was bound by the arbitration agreement. Sorrell maintains in court papers that Lopez's damages could be in excess of $10 million if the book is published. According to Sorrell's court papers, Noa acknowledged in a deposition that he understood the terms of the October 2005 settlement and signed his approval to all the terms.

According to documents filed by Sorrell in June 2006, Noa's book proposed to tell such intimate details about his life with Lopez, including their first sexual encounter, which reportedly occurred on the balcony of the Doubletree Hotel in Miami. T

he manuscript also said Lopez had "multiple duplicitous sexual affairs" with various people, including Anthony while he was still married to former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, according to Sorrell's court papers. Anthony and Torres later divorced, and he married Lopez in June 2004. Lopez, who has appeared in such films as "Selena," "Out of Sight " and "Monster-in-Law," married Noa in February 1997 after meeting him in a Miami restaurant. They divorced 11 months later. Lopez's second husband was choreographer Cris Judd, whom she married in September 2001 and divorced less than nine months later.
