Okay, I’ve heard rumors about what happened between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Afleck but Im not _positive_ on any of it.
```
Does anyone know exactly what happened between em? Are they broken up or finding a new wedding date?
Thanx! :D

I think offically J-Lo and Bennifer are still together but the wedding isn’t on at the moment with the brace of morons citing press intrusion.

I read his mother talked him out of it. I also read, J. Lo wanted to postpone because her psychic told her that was a bad day to get married and Ben freaked and they went their separate ways, at least temporarily. He seems to be an intelligent person so I can’t understand why he would even consider marrying a woman who is on her third marriage; I might interview the former husbands before I committed myself. He also loves to gamble and I’ve read she doesn’t like that. He was at the Mohegan in Ct one day and at a card paror in CA the next right after the split. He seems to have an addictive personality vis a vis his visit to a rehab center for drinking a few months back. Everytime I see a picture of her she is like a porcelain doll with the perfect makeup and clothes; it makes me feel uncomfortable, like she is very unhappy with whatever’s under all the makeup and plucked eyebrows. She IS smart business-wise, I’ll give her that, but as far as being content with herself, she has a long way to go. Two dysfunctional people don’t make a whole person. And Ben Afleck needs to figure out the difference between lust and love. I would say if your best friend, who probably knows you better than anyone, even your parents, tells you it’s a mistake, you should at least give it some serious thought. I also wonder what’s going on with his personal assistant. Holding hands? Just friends? Hummm…More to come. I have no life. sigh.
