Jennifer Lopez is revving up her lawyers to take on former fashion partner Andy Hilfiger, we hear from a source. The two parted ways last year after a disappointing collaboration on her label, Sweetface. Despite huge hype and a presence at New York Fashion Week, the line never lived up to expectations. "It is expected that she will file suit and that he will countersue," says a source close to one of the parties. "They're likely to sue each other." The split took place after years of seemingly cordial relations that even saw Hilfiger attending the Sweetface shows with his designer brother, Tommy. Last year, Radar magazine reported that one reason for the rift was the hands-on approach of J.Lo's husband, Marc Anthony. His involvement in Lopez's business dealings reportedly cramped Hilfiger, who was the Sweetface CEO. "Andy is very happily back at the Hilfiger empire," says the snitch of his decision to return to his brother's business. Reps for both sides did not comment Tuesday.
