New York watches Puerto Rican Day parade

New York -- Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez were among the nearly 2 million people at New York's 53rd annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade, officials say.

The city's largest parade Sunday saw Anthony replace actor Osvaldo Rios as "international godfather" after Rios' domestic violence conviction against his girlfriend, the New York Daily News reported.

Some elected officials allegedly said they would not attend the parade unless Rios quit, which he did Tuesday.

New city statutes limit parades to five hours and shorten their routes by 25 percent in a move to save $3.1 million in police overtime and other city expenses, the newspaper said.
One reveler wasn't put off by the shortening of the parade, the Daily News said.

Lopez Learned from previous marriages

Jennifer Lopez is convinced her relationship with Marc Anthony will stand the test of time - because she has learned from the mistakes she made in her previous marriages.

The actress/singer first walked down the aisle with Cuban-born waiter Ojani Noa in 1997. They divorced after just a year of marriage and she went on to wed dancer Chris Judd in 2001 but that union also ended in divorce.

Lopez married Latin singer Anthony in 2004 and they are now parents to baby twins Max and Emme.
