JLo used to be able to act. She’s great in _Selena_ and _Out of Sight._ Her talent departed the moment she decided she’d rather be a Star than an actor. Sadly, the same seems to be happening to Reese Witherspoon. Oh, and Affleck’s new superhero movie _Daredevil_ is supposed to be pretty darn good, actually. Go figure. But yeah, if I don’t hear another fucking word about this latest celebrity LoveMerger I’ll be a happy happy man. ---

C’mon now, give credit where credit is due. . .

Wait a second - JLo is Puerto Rican? I’m not that great at geography, but I don’t think Puerto Rico is in New York. What a dumbass. ---

The T-shirt thing and the married man…well, I’m not sure. I seem to recall that he was separated, but maybe I’m just hopeful. In any case, Lopez is disgusting. Julia’s just human. ---

Ben Affleck wants a career in politics! He should do well, considering he hasn’t voted in 10 years! What a dickwad! Of course, considering how people with the IQs of gnats (e.g. the kennedies) get to be senators and reps, Ben should give it a whirl! ---

I have to admit, I was only half-kidding in my last post. When I saw the topic, I thought **Stoid** was referring to our own Doper **Ben** , which raised a number of questions in my mind. When I realized she was talking about Afleck, my first thought was “He’s cheating on Lopez already?” ---

> [@](#): > > I don’t get what the shirt refers to. Explain Moder was married to make-up artist Vera Steimberg when he and Roberts began an affair. Steimberg didn’t grant a quicky divorce despite Roberts reportedly kicking in a sizeable chunk of change (report was $400k) to move things along. Shortly thereafter, Roberts was photographed donning a t-shirt with the handwritten words, “A Low Vera” across the chest. ---

Is she actually divorced now? She was still married to Cris Judd at least until the first of the year. That’s what fascinates me about the whole thing–this married woman going on and on about the love of her life and getting engaged–while she is married to another man. I was hoping that some interviewer would ask her, “so, how does your husband feel about your upcoming wedding?” I’m not saying that a person shouldn’t date at all until the divorce is final, but JHo’s behavior is unacceptable, IMHO. If you want to fuck around, then fuck around, but don’t make a mockery of marriage, please. ---
