I have a hard time feeling sorry for JLo, but other celebs that are not so media frenzy savvy, do they ask for it? No.

Its just a job. Yeah they are paid well, but that doesn't compensate for a loss of freedom.

I do agree that the press goes to the extreme - I mean hiding in bushes, practically stalking, c'mon......at the same time though, would these celebrities give all their money back to be dirt poor again just to avoid being recognized? I don't think so

If anything they brought MORE press on themselves for post-poning the wedding. Now everyone is watching and wondering when it will take place. At least before the hoopla and media circus would have been over with this weekend.

I don't understand why they announced the date knowing that the Stalkerazzi would have a picnic/field day with this! Or was it leaked out by some source? I don't get it!

I think if they really wanted to keep the wedding private then they shoiuld just do it in one of their MANY homes...so what if you have all this money and want to have a big wedding...this is her 3rd!...HELLO!...been there, done that! :eek:

Its the only way they are going to have true privacy, you don't NEED 100+ guest list if all you want to do is just get married, all you need is the two of you.

I'm sorry that someone is leaking info about her "day" but you're in the media, so you can't just be so shocked that people wont leave you alone. I think its a double negative...if they hound you, you hate them, if they aren't anywhere around you, you aren't news worthy....they both just need to buck up and shut up!

just a quick vent :D

*SARCASM WARNING*

if there is anything j lo does best, its keeping it real. after all she is 'jenny from the block':rolleyes:

That is pure brilliance.

OMG!!!!! I love this!! I am CLEARLY about to use this!! :D

Thanks ImThaChamp. :)

I heard that this postponement had to do with J. Lo wanting to get married in the Catholic church...She had to have her ex-hubbies sign something saying that not only did they get a divorce, but it's like the married never happened. Her first ex refused, saying some very blunt things about J. Lo.

Anyone else hear anything about this?

I heard that they were supposed to get married in a Catholic church in Santa Barbra, but I didn't hear about her having to get her execs to sign something. I can see her first huband not doing it. He was talking smack about her earlier this year in the tabloids.

The story I heard was that another couple had already planned their own wedding at the Four Seasons in Santa Barbara and then JenBen swooped in and said they wanted to have it there. The hotel then asked the other couple for concessions for BenJen's wedding and the other couple said basically "Bite me!" and then leaked it to the press.

"I heard...I heard...I heard..." :rolleyes:

Everyone just needs to STFU already. I really don't understand why you ppl are making such a big deal about it.

She was shopping on Kaua`i yesterday. It'd make sense to get married on Princeville. It's a no fly zone because of the bird sanctuary.

Amycat's the only voice of reason on this thing. Just because they're celebrities and they make 20 times more than you, y'all are supposed to hate on them because you think they're not deserving of any ounce of privacy?

I didn't realize GC was so full of shit-talkers.

Okay, I am not sure if this article is in the News Thread or not. I'll post it anyway!

Affleck and Lopez split up

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- Hollywood celebrity couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have split, at least temporarily, sources close to Affleck have told Reuters.

The pair were seen on Friday in the Los Angeles area boarding planes to different U.S. cities, after postponing weekend wedding plans due to a media frenzy, said the sources, who wished to remain anonymous.

The sources said that sometime last week Affleck called close associates telling them that he and Lopez had broken up. On Saturday Affleck was spotted gambling and sunning himself without Lopez at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, they said.

Meanwhile, sources said that Lopez on Friday flew to her Miami residence and had made plans to head to Canada where she is filming a new movie with Richard Gere.

It was not certain if the break-up would be permanent, the sources said.

Representatives for the pair could not immediately be reached for comment. People magazine reported that the representatives said they had no knowledge of the break-up.

The pair, who reportedly planned to wed on Sunday at an estate in the hills near Santa Barbara, California, said in a joint statement last Wednesday that they had postponed the nuptials because of unwanted publicity.

However after making that announcement, the couple were seen together at the trendy Los Angeles restaurant, The Ivy.

Lopez, 33, and Affleck, 31, are currently America's hottest celebrity couple, but doubts were cast over their engagement when stories surfaced in tabloids and magazines last month about Affleck visiting a strip club without Lopez in July. Lopez publicly shrugged off Affleck's night out.

One source familiar with the couple said that a request by Lopez for a prenuptial agreement may have chilled wedding plans.

The couple also suffered bad publicity when their first movie together, "Gigli," was panned by critics and flopped at the box office in the summer.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cough publicity stunt cough

yup... i read that this morning and laughed...

:D :rolleyes:
