Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony sued for $25m

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez are a couple of show-stealing rip-off artists -- so claims a guy, who says their reality show "Q'Viva! The Chosen" was his idea ... so he's suing for $25 MILLION.

John Jacobs filed the lawsuit in New York, claiming he contacted Marc Anthony Productions and J.Lo's Nuyorican Productions about his show idea "Miami Beach: The Game" in 2007 and 2008.

According to Jacobs, his idea was to combine two well-known Latino celebrities who would travel in search of the next big superstar.

According to TMZ, he is claiming Marc Anthony Productions and J.Lo's Nuyorican Productions initially expressed interest before eventually ignoring his phone calls.

Mr Jacobs asserts his idea was to have two well-known Latino celebrities roam around in search of a superstar.

While his idea never came to fruition, a matter of years later Jennifer and Marc joined forces to star in Q'Viva.

He claims he was shocked when he started to see promotions for the show featuring the couple he had previously targetted.
