Why so shy, JLo?

Over the weekend, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that Jennifer Lopez, 42, has been romantically involved with backup dancer Casper Smart, 24, for a few weeks. But when Ryan Seacrest asked the 42-year-old about the "dancer [she's] been hanging out with," Lopez brushed off the question.

"Until I'm in a really serious relationship -- because of the babies -- I'm not really gonna be commenting on my personal life," the American Idol judge explained. (Lopez and Marc Anthony, 43, split in July after seven years of marriage; they're the parents to 2-year-old twins Max and Emme.)

Seacrest, 36, joked to the singer-actress: "If you're getting around as much as [I] read [you are], then you're having a good time!"

"What are you talking about?" Lopez laughed. "No, I'm a busy girl. I don't have time for all that."

VIDEO: What went wrong in JLo and Marc's relationship?

A source tells the new Us Weekly -- on stands Friday -- that at Lopez's Postshow at Vegas' Pure Nightclub on Sept. 24, she and Smart "were flirting," and that "Casper even came over and gave her a lap dance. She was giggling as he gyrated on her."

This is another that should be boycotted...she is a disgrace to womaen all over. This woman has values or morals...her t..t isn't cold yet from Marc and she's already pimping around but it doesn't surprise me really this is who she is and always has been. Her popularity has been through her relationships not her talent...go away lopez!!!!

She is one of those women who need to be with a man to justify her existence, Maybe it's an unflattering photo, but, seriously Jen, you only recently split with your husband. You talk about your babies, yet your out on the town with men instead of being at home with them as they get used to Mom and Dad no longer being together
