JLo dumps Ben... gobble gobble indeed

Actually, I believe that ‘gli’ in Italian is pronounced slightly differntly that ‘lee’. To be fair, its pretty subtle and hard for americans hear or pronounce.

The best approximation is something like ‘lyee’ where the ‘y’ and the 'l are pronounced together, they are really a separate sound from either 'y or ‘**l[b/]’, kind of like an ‘l’ pronounced further back in your mouth, in a similar spot as a ‘g’ or a ‘y’.

English speakers are safer just saying ‘jee-lee’.

Sorry for the bad formatting, I really did mean to hit the preview button but didn’t.

From the first article:

Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that, honey.

What does Affleck get paid per movie these days that he spent 2 million on a wedding ring and one on her birthday?

Oh, c’mon. Of course they were going to fall in love and get engaged. Isn’t that how JLo finds all her fiances?

According to his profile on IMDB (scroll to the bottom), $2 million is less than a month’s salary these days:

You are the only one that thinks it is possible that their marriage will be a success.

In which case, Ben Affleck is being a cheapskate. The DeBeers commercials clearly tell you that you have to spend at least two months’ salary on your fiancee’s engagement ring. He should have gotten her a ring with the Hope Diamond set in it or something.

Eww, Ben Affleck spooge!

One must wonder about the mind-set of someone who goes down on two complete strangers (strippers, to boot!) in the midst of a serious relationship with a reigning icon. I feel a Clinton joke coming on.

Quote from the National Enquirer interview from one of the recipients, Tammy Morris:

“It wasn’t the greatest I’ve ever had but it was from Ben Affleck!”

Now that’s a back-handed compliment if I’ve ever heard one! :smiley:

Better backhanded than frontloaded.

You have to wonder how Ben talked himself back into J. Lo’s good graces.

That Affleck – what a cunning linguist.
