Singer-actor Jennifer Lopez, who is dating her back-up dancer Casper Smart, wants to make him a star and is paying for his acting lessons. The 42-year-old is head over heels with 24-year-old Smart, since splitting with former husband Marc Anthony.

“Casper is taking acting lessons because Jennifer wants him to be a star,” the Daily Telegraph quoted a source as saying. As per reports, Lopez is paying Smart a $10,000 per-week allowance. “Jen is hoping Casper won’t think twice about buying presents for her kids,” the source added.
