After finishing up with a string of South American and European performances with a show in Rome on Wednesday, Jennifer and Marc have made a much-needed vacation stop before returning to the States.

The “El Cantante” co-star couple were spotted clad in their swimwear earlier today (July 4), enjoying the scenic landscape of Portofino, Italy alongside designer Stefano Gabbana.

And now that Marc has finished up his work overseas, he will be launching a string of US shows beginning on July 26th in Universal City, CA.

The Juntos en Concierto series will see $2 donated to the ING Run for Something Better program for every ticket sold - helping the national initiative “fund school-based running and fitness-education programs.”

“Through my music, I want to make a difference in the lives of young people across the country,” Anthony told in a statement. “One way is by addressing the critical need to help reduce childhood obesity among Latino children.”

Making the most of their time in Italy, Jennifer and Marc were spotted milling around the streets of Milan during a relaxing day of shopping.

They looked affectionate as they strolled around the city in search of some fun stuff for their twins Emme and Max.

As previously reported, Marc also received the Honorary Award from the Milan Town Council yesterday. Giovanni Terzi of the council told press, “We wanted to honor him for his unquestionable artistic value and also thank him for having chosen Milan for his first ever concert in Italy.”

Anthony is scheduled to take the stage tonight in his Italian debut gig as part of the Latin American culture festival Latinoamericando, and you can bet J. Lo will be front row and center.

Jennifer Lopez is being sued by a flight attendant who claims the pop star’s guard dog bit her on a plane two years ago. Lisa Wilson, 40, is seeking $5 million from Lopez, according to court papers filed yesterday. In related news, Jennifer will also be forced to testify in a lawsuit over a 1999 nightclub shooting involving her ex-boyfriend, Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Jennifer looked sexy in a sparkly silver dress as she watched her “I Need to Know” crooner husband wow the crowd at the Palacio De Los Deportes in Madrid, Spain.

Marc worked the room like the seasoned pro that he is, sporting a black jacket and black trousers and a white button-up shirt that he unbuttoned down to the middle of his chest.

Earlier in the day, J-Lo was spotted taking full advantage of her time in the Spanish city with a full-blown shopping spree. She liked one of her new dresses so much that she wore it out of the store. Talk about a satisfied customer!

Jennifer happily took time out of her busy schedule to surprise some of her biggest fans on Tuesday.

ET confirms a group of 10 and 11-year-old kids from a Staten Island, New York elementary school for autistic children loved her song “Let’s Get Loud” so much that they learned all the lyrics and dance moves from the video and even decided to write J.Lo — simply expecting maybe a picture or autograph in return.

But to their surprise, Lopez attended their graduation where they performed her songs for her!

Jennifer recently returned to the Big Apple following a short trip to the nation’s capital this past week, during which she met with senators about healthcare and education issues.

While there were reports that Lopez was actually there to meet Barack Obama’s staff, a representative the 38-year-old South Bronx native denied these claims.

“Tuesday afternoon, Jennifer was on (Capitol) Hill with her sister to meet with staff members of several senators to discuss issues she is interested in, such as healthcare and education,” her rep told People. “She did visit Obama’s office, but the senator was not there. She did not meet him, but did discuss healthcare with members of his staff.

“She just came in for the meeting and departed,” Obama’s spokesman confirmed. “It was not campaign-related.”

Jennifer, sporting a black cocktail dress and carrying an orange handbag, surprised staffers when she was spotted walking through the Hart atrium and taking the elevator to Obama’s seventh-floor office.

When asked what brought her to the Hill, she smiled and said:

“I’m not ready to do any press yet,” she said, her eyes hidden behind a pair of big, black sunglasses.

Word spread fast of Jennifer’s presence, and a herd of staffers and tourists — thinking they were waiting to see Obama — amassed, their cell phone cameras at the ready. As it happens, Obama was scheduled to be in St. Louis, Mo., today at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

Rumors circulated that Jen may be writing Obama a song.

As the throng continued to gather, Sens. Arlen Specter and Bill Nelson walked by with little fanfare, and Sen. Jeff Bingaman stopped short of walking into a photo visitors were taking by the nameplate outside Obama’s door.

The security detail guarding Obama’s door grew from two to four as Jennifer’s meeting continued. After an hour and a half passed, an Obama staffer came out to break the bad news.

“She’s gone,” he said, explaining that she left even more secretively than she entered.
