According to recent reports on the internet Jennifer Lopez wants to take time out from relationship with Casper Smart to "think about things."

A report published on E!News claims that a source has told them that Jennifer Lopez is "taking some time to think about things" with beau Casper Smart after pictures surfaced that purport to show the backup dancer ducking into a peep show doorway just a day before J.Lo's 43rd birthday in NYC.

Smart says he was lost and entered the wrong doorway, while his lawyers strongly refuted what they claim were defamatory statements made by tabloids-against which they threatened legal action. Whatever the case may be, a source close to Lopez tells E! News: "She is taking some time to think about things. They are still together. But the photos have shaken her up."

According to the source, Lopez "has never been great at picking men, and this feels all too familiar to her." "They have not split yet, but it's fair to say they are cooling off a bit. The pictures have created a distance between them. Even if Casper is telling the truth, and he didn't mean to walk into the doorway, it just proves how young and immature he is. He should have been more careful, he knows he is often being followed by paparazzi."

"Jennifer cares about Casper, they are certainly very close," says the source. "But he is not the love of her life. She can live without him. If she does decide to split from him she'll be ok. She just needs some time to think about whether Casper is worth all this trouble."

According t a report on TMZ, the couple is furious about the whole incident and Casper is planning on taking legal action claiming that the story is fake. TMZ also reports that the couple's attorneys, Shawn Holley and Howard Weitzman, have teamed up and fired off letters to Star Magazine and In Touch ... warning them the "reports" are "false, malicious and defamatory" and will cause "immense damage" to the couple's careers and reputations.

The story published in the magazines earlier included photographs of Casper outside a peep show in NYC back in July -- Star claims the shop is a "well-known cruising spot for gay men looking for instant hookups." In Touch claims Casper was "caught" with an "exotic masseuse."
