Ben Dumps Jen For Good

IANAL but IIRC from my law classes, an engagement ring is a “gift with intent.” He technically could fight her in court to give it back, unless he gave it to her on a traditional gift-giving day (say, her birthday, Christmas, etc.). In that case he’d be outta luck.

In the UK, if an engagement is broken off the non-groom has no claim on the ring unless it’s a family heirloom.

**When you appear in a movie with your fiance as your love interest and every critic in the world pans you for total absence of chemistry … it’s time to give it second thoughts. **

Concisely put.

So you’re saying, J-Lo is just going to play-Lo with our heads?

**Tracer should be banned for saying this… **

Be carefyl what you say-lo.

Because I forgot to mention that in Gigli, J-Lo’s character is gay-Lo.

And that after the wedding postponement, the two of them are probably going to stay out of the public spotlight for a little while, so … J-Lo is going to lay-Lo.

Maybe she’ll come out of hiding in the month of May-Lo. Then she can bamboozle the public into thinking she’s once again so sweet-and-pure that she’s wearing a ha-Lo.

Truly, there is something wrong with Jennifer Lopez. She is beautiful, with a wonderful body, the woman just screams “I am sexy.” “I like sex.” “One night with me will be heaven, in the middel of coitus with me, you will meet God and Jesus Christ in a dream and thank them.” Yet P. Diddy and Affleck run like hell from her.

Might have to do with stuff like this, from MSN:

According to a story that appeared in the London Mirror last week, before news of the cancellation, Jenny from the Block threw a “hissy fit” because the waiter at a posh L.A. restaurant wouldn’t make her a milkshake. “Fiance Ben Affleck tried to calm the situation and even offered staff at Kate [Mantelini] $100 to whip one up,” reported the paper. “Ben pulled out a wedge of cash, saying I’ve got to get a shake for my girl.”

The waiter wouldn’t co-operate, but luckily, Ben got a hold of the restaurant manager and persuaded him to whip up a shake, so that little episode has a happy ending. But the Scoop can’t help but wonder if the thought of buying $100 milkshakes until death do them part gave Ben a serious case of cold feet. Perhaps Ben was worried how much he would have to shell out if he took his girl to Le Cirque and she demanded chicken nuggets. The thought might have been terrifying enough to make him jump off the freight train.

So J-Lo always has to get her way-Lo?

Not freight train! Money Train!

Anyway, if they’re trying to deceive people and are getting married anyway, it will neither help nor hurt their respective careers. After all, people don’t pay to see them in movies because they’re together, they pay because they’re the flava of the moment. And if they “fool” people and get married on the sly, that in and of itself won’t make people stop watching their movies.

However … if they keep making those movies together…

When you’re J-Lo, you want it your way every day-Lo.
And you just know that J-Lo has a thing for Day-G-Lo.

I’m so sorry… forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

There was a farmer had a hoe and J.Lo was her name-o…

Traditionally, if the woman breaks off the engagement, she gives the ring back, but if the man breaks it off, the woman keeps it. But we don’t yet know who decided the wedding was off, or if it was a mutual thing.

No.

Traditionally, if the engagement gets broken, the ring gets returned. It doesn’t matter who breaks it. It doesn’t matter who’s fault it was. It doesn’t matter what extenuating circumstances there are. The ring goes back.

So, if it truly is a broken engagement, and if Jennifer has any class, she’ll return the ring.
if…

[tracer]

I, too, think she should return the ring. Whether she should return the gigantic diamong that’s set in the ring is another matter.

[tracer]

(“diamong”? I think I just made my biggest typo of the day-Lo.)

[dantheman]

Yes, well, traditionally* people don’t get married three times before they’re 35…

[tracer]

You’re kidding, right? 3 marriages by the mid-30s seems to be the norm these days.

I must be ignorant: is this common behavior in the Bronx block that she’s from?

[dantheman]

No, I’m not kidding. It might surprise you to learn that most people aren’t celebrities. I for one don’t know anyone under 35 who’s been married three times, let alone enough people to constitute the norm.

Emily Post says:

If the engagement should be so unfortunate as to be broken off, the engagement ring and all other gifts of value must be returned.

Shes doing same adwork for Louis Vuitton and I’m reminded of why even when she is not singing she is annoying: her face looks like she just smelled something bad!

Sometimes she has the pursed lip, narrowed eyes look that makes her look bitter instead of in the thrall of soon to be wedded bliss.

The parsimonious attitude towards money that is polar opposite of that Affleck guy is the most telling and unfortunate of the relationship. It’s unflattering and mean spirited-she is the wedding grinch.

Nope, that would be common behavior only in her little bubble. I’m sure her handlers reassure her that it’s cool, but the rest of us would think she was just a stuck-up… witch.
