Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez are under fire and why. The former couple have been sued for USD 25 million for allegedly stealing the concept for their latest reality show 'Q'Viva! The Chosen'.

Reportedly, John Jacobs has filed a lawsuit in New York against the duo, claiming that he had contacted Marc Anthony Productions and J Lo's Nuyorican Productions with the idea 'Miami Beach: The Game' in 2007-2008.

'Jacobs says it was his brainchild to bring two well-known Latino celebrities searching for the next big superstar. The production houses initially showed interest but later ignored his calls,' reports TMZ.

'Jacobs claims that he was shocked to see that the concept of Anthony-Lopez's show was similar to his concept. He says he followed up with both companies as well as Univision to get to the bottom of the alleged thievery, but never heard back. Now he wants at least USD 25 million,' writes the Indian Express.
