Court dismisses J-Lo's lawsuit against former driver

Jennifer Lopez's extortion lawsuit against her former driver has been dismissed.

The 43-year-old singer-and-actress had filed a $20m case against former chauffeur Hakob Manoukian in response to his own lawsuit against her - in which he claimed he was forced to resign from his job - but Los Angeles Superior Court Justice Joseph Kalin granted a motion from the driver's attorney to strike the star's cross-complaint at a hearing on December 21.
