Jennifer Lopez is so furious over toy boy Casper Smart’s BIG mouth that she’s cutting his monthly allowance by a hefty 25 percent,” reports the National Enquirer.

The tabloid, which has long invented fake fights between the two, claims Lopez “went ballistic” after Smart “blabbed” about her returning to “American Idol.”

A “source” for the Enquirer explains, “Jennifer caught hell from ‘Idol’ producers. They wanted to hold a major press conference, not have a boyfriend leak it out.”

Lopez was “beyond steamed,” says the magazine, which alleges that she’s “hitting her big-spending boyfriend where it hurts most — in his wallet.”

“Jennifer cut a quarter of his $10,000 monthly allowance she gives him,” says a so-called “insider” for the tabloid.

There is NO such allowance.

This is yet another example of the Enquirer trying to stir trouble with the couple, like when the Enquirer falsely suggested she could be cheating on him with Pitbull.

The new report is equally bogus.

It’s “not true,” a rep tells Gossip Cop.

Scooter Braun is Jennifer Lopez’s pick for the third judging position on “American Idol,” Gossip Cop has confirmed.

A source close to the situation tells us the music manager-producer-record label exec could potentially join Lopez and Keith Urban on the judges’ panel for the show’s upcoming 13th season.

Braun certainly knows about cultivating new acts, having discovered Justin Bieber, and overseeing the careers of Carly Rae Jepsen and The Wanted, among others.

Earlier this week, producer-songwriter Dr. Luke was also reported to be a possible judge.

Lopez’s interest in Braun was first reported by Us Weekly.

Do you think Braun would make a good “Idol” judge?

Will Dr. Luke take the last seat on the “American Idol” judges panel?

There’s a good chance, with the music producer-songwriter said to be in talks to join Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban.

Luke was initially reported to be in the mix earlier this summer before execs heated up negotiations with will.i.am.

But the Black Eyed Peas frontman is now out of the running, and Luke is back in, according to Us Weekly.

Gossip Cop is seeking confirmation.

Luke is responsible for dozens of pop music’s biggest hits, including Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” and countless others for Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, and more stars.

He also performed in the “Saturday Night Live” band for 10 seasons.

What do you think of Dr. Luke possibly joining “American Idol”?
