Ben and Jen are Ka-put

So the news is that Bennifer are no longer...frankly, I am glad--they just seemed like such an odd couple together. (Like I know them personally or anything!) The whole thing came about pretty suddenly...I am sensing a scandalous story behind the scenes!

I heard on the radio this morning (straining to hear the car radio over my kids' chatter!) that Ben simply could not go through with it and that, when the wedding was supposedly "postponed" last week, Ben had actually backed out completely but didn't want to embarass JLo. They had a very public dinner at some famous LA restaurant so everyone could see them together, but apparently that was just to make it look like they were still together. So, JLo is apparently now in Miami and Ben spent the weekend in Las Vegas where he went to some bigtime boxing match then caught Britney Spears' show there. Or so they said on the radio.

On MSN.com, there's an article about Jennybenny's breakup, and it quotes Christian "Strip Club" Slater saying:" I'm pretty 'Bennifried' out. I mean, who gives a flying Affleck, that's what I say," said Slater prior to the breakup.

According to the celebrity "news" shows, the pre-nup was the last straw.
Even if they are over, we're still going to have to hear about them for a long time!

hmmmm...why do I think this whole thing was just fake from the start? That it was all one big publicity stunt. Ben and Jen break-up. Wow...never saw that coming.

I'm glad it's done. I think it's best for both of them to go their seperate ways.

I wonder if I won the work pool on this....and I wonder who JLo's next victim will be. Also, Ben needs to start dressing like a man again. He's looking too "metrosexual" for me these days.

I don't think the whole relationship was a publicity stunt. That just seems like alot of trouble to get some extra press. But their night out at the Ivy in LA was definitely a stunt. The papparazzi stakes that place out 24/7; celebs always get their pics taken if they eat there. Even though I've hated on J.Lo in past threads, I actually feel bad for her (if it's true that Ben dumped her). I'm sure the feeling will pass in a few days.

I knew there was a reason I wanted to marry that man.

If this actually true, then good riddance. However, I wonder if it's just a publicity ploy and they'll really be getting married.

Hootie · #14 09-15-2003, 11:29 PM

I read about this last night and was sorta surprised (amazingly). I was MORE surprised to hear it was Ben's doing...he finally came to his senses. I mean I honestly can't blame him...the stupid prenuptual aggreement was a little over the edge. What more does J Lo, who makes millions a year, want??? MONEY! And Ben probably JUST realized it!

I also don't think it was a publicity stunt...the whole relationship anyways. I mean I know stars make millions, but really, who would waste their money on gifts and homes and a wedding that ISN'T going to take place?!?! Not even J Lo!

Am I the only one who thinks that this is just some lame publicity stunt and they are actually going to get back together? Not that I particularly care because I'm tired of hearing about them... but I still think they're going to get married nonetheless.
