OMG I hope this is true. I’m so sick of them being shoved down our throats at every turn as the perfect Hollywood couple.
(Oh, and a pox on the first person who comes in and says “yawn” or some equivalent–if it’s not a big deal to you, then don’t post–leave the rest of us shallow celebrity bashers alone! 
)
Yawn!
Ow ow! I’m kidding! It’s all The Wrong Girl’s fault. She set up the straight line.
Drat. Can’t view Lola’s link unless you’re an AOL subscriber. Maybe another site can corroborate.
Aww, sorry man. The source is People magazine - they’re reasonably reliable.
Here we go - Yahoo has it, although they’re citing People.
(I don’t mean that People’s not good enough, but it would be nice to see someone else report it… plus, this way nonAOLers (aka The Smart Ones) can read about it! :))
Nothing on msn or cnn yet. And they call themselves newsgatherers.
Thank god Affleck came to his senses.
I never thought they were being shoved down our throats as the perfect Hollywood couple. I also though they were being shoved down our throats from the same facination we have with train wrecks and car accidents. Everyone knew it would blow up, the only question was when.
OK, maybe their publicists thought they were the perfect Hollywood couple (they did make nice eye candy toghter), but certainly no one else did.
I’m not happy about this.
I had $20 that the marriage would fail within the first year.
Now I don’t know if I’ll get that money back…
And here I thought this “delay” of the wedding earlier was just so they could spoof the frenzy of publicity.
Obviously, my powers are fading.
Any guesses why? Mine is that Ben finally saw one of her movies.
Something about those two brings out the schadenfreude in me!
I didn’t have any money down on the longevity of their match, but suffice to say I didn’t think that J.Lo was going to stop there. She’s probably going to best Elizabeth Taylor for matrimonial records.
As for Ben, he should go back to Gwynneth Paltrow, since they can stand each other’s company, and it’ll get her off my fave band’s lead singer.
I hope they’re really broken up so we never have to hear about them again!
Is anybody else utterly disgusted with themselves for even opening this thread?
[sub]repeatedly?[/sub] :o
Yep! 
Yes, ruadh. I’m utterly disgusted with you.
J-lo, j-lo, j-lo, get yourself some counselling, girl. You don’t have to marry every guy you date. Does anyone else feel even vaguely sorry for her because she seems to have no sense of herself as a person outside of a relationship?
Don’t tell me anyone believes this nonsense - they’ve just leaked yet another fake story to the media to throw people off the scent. They’ll be engaged again when Jersey Girl is released. J-Lo is a media manipulator, don’t get suckered by her bullshit.
I have no sympathy for her at all. She’s shown herself to be a fairly raving nutjob and a possible megalomaniac with her self-obsession over the years. Maybe Ben pulling the pin will finally show her she “ain’t all that”.
Admittedly competent dancer. Not a good singer. Not a good actress. Now she can’t even keep a boy wrapped up. Hopefully that will lend her some perspective and she’ll be crushed enough to retire. If that leads her to a life of quiet contemplation, hey, more’s the better.
Hey, a guy can dream, right?
I’m glad this affair is over. Now, maybe, the media can return to more newsworthy affairs, such as providing endless coverage of 50 Cent’s antics.
Well, I hope you’re happy with yourselves, this is the fault of the public-at-large. I’ll bet problems started when Gigli did poorly and now they’ve broken up! If we would have paid more attention to them, and spent more money on their movie then they would still be together today.
This is tragic.
