Jennifer Lopez won a legal ban on her ex-husband's plan to reveal intimate details of the actress' sex life in a tell-all book, according to court documents made public in U.S.

A preliminary injunction between the star and her former spouse, Ojani Noa, was signed by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Thursday and made public over the weekend, resulting in the cancellation of a hearing in the case.

Under the injunction, the Cuban-born Noa is barred from "criticising, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging" Lopez. He also may not disclose for financial gain "any private or intimate details" about Lopez or their relationship, the court order stated.

Lopez sued Noa in April to stop him from publishing an expose she said would breach a "non-disparagement" pact between them. She then obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent him from going ahead with the proposed book.

According to Lopez's lawsuit, Noa's plans for a tell-all book were revealed in a January 2006 New York Post article, which included the claim Lopez carried on an affair with salsa singer Marc Anthony while he was still married to Puerto Rican model and beauty queen Dayanara Torres.

Anthony and Lopez married in June 2004, just days after he was divorced from Torres, and five months after Lopez broke off her much-publicised engagement to actor Ben Affleck.

Lopez's 10-month marriage to Noa, the first of her three husbands and who was working at a restaurant when they met, ended in divorce in January 1998.

"Noa will do anything within his power to make money off his ex-wife and thinks nothing of wilfully hurting Ms Lopez in the process," Lopez' lawyer Paul Sorrell said in court documents. "He is out of control."
