Jennifer Lopez snags reality show for Casper Smart

(NEWSER) - Being Jennifer Lopez's rebound boyfriend apparently comes with some perks. Among them: getting your own reality show. Lopez has sold a series based on Casper Smart, her much-younger boytoy and also a choreographer on her tour, to Oxygen.
