I know she is out being a mommy but umm right Gabrielle is getting a little too much exposure in the industry. There are a lot of talented actresses who have not had many movie roles lately.

[AKA2D '91]

Maybe she has SKILLZ to land the roles. Or she has MAJOR "hook ups".

I didn't know Gabbie was married.

Ben Affleck on the 'Ben-Jen Hype'

One couple going strong, personally and professionally, is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Now, Ben opens up to Vanity Fair magazine about the media fascination and how the public misunderstands J. Lo.

With Daredevil about to hit theaters and the frenzy surrounding his engagement to Jennifer Lopez still red-hot, Ben was a natural choice for Vanity Fair's March cover story. Writer Leslie Bennetts learned that Affleck doesn't believe all the "Ben-Jen hype."

"He thinks it's just crazy. He said, 'I don't understand it. There's war looming in the Middle East and we're in the middle of this terrible recession in America. The fact that I'm romantically linked to someone -- that should be a page 20 item?'" Leslie told Access.

In what would be his final shoot, late photographer Herb Ritts supplied the pictures for the article in which Affleck explains that he thinks his fiancee's red-hot image is totally overblown. "She's characterized as oversexed. I mean, the woman's had five boyfriends in her whole life. She's a deeply misunderstood woman in my opinion," says Affleck.

As far as how he fell for Lopez on the set of their upcoming film Gigli, Affleck swears that he had no plan to make a move on the then-married star but "it changed when she told me she was getting separated. At that point it became a possibility; doors were opened."

Ben also gladly sets things straight on the many rumors surrounding his life. For the record: he does not wear a hairpiece, he did not get his chin done, he and Jen are not getting married in February and he never spent over a million dollars on ex-CIA and FBI bodyguards for Jen. Apparently, the public just has to live with the stories.

"He knows what they're up against, but he just figures 'What can I do but live my life? This is the person I want to be with.' The rest of it is not his problem," said Leslie.

The issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands on Feb. 11.

I heard this on the readio on Monday but did not see it in the thread. The accident was Tuesday a week ago but his body was not identitfied until Friday.

From mtv.com-
Keven A. Conner, better known to R&B fans as Dino, lead singer of the group H-Town, was killed in a car accident on Tuesday.

According to Houston police, Dino, 28, had just left a recording studio and was a passenger in a car being driven by his girlfriend, 22-year-old Teshya Rae Weisent. Their vehicle was struck by an SUV that ran a red light and both Dino and Weisant were killed.

Three people were in the SUV and all fled after the accident. One man, Juan Diaz, was apprehended, however, and faces felonious charges of failure to stop and rendor aid.

Originally signed to a recording contract by 2 Live Crew's Luther "Luke" Campbell, H-Town rose to prominence 10 years ago with their debut album, Fever for Da Flavor, which spawned their biggest hit, "Knockin' the Boots." In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Shazam, Dino's twin brother and groupmate, said the trio had just finished an H-Town reunion album. Their last LP, Ladies Edition, was released in 1997.

I remember a while back when I first started seeing her on City of Angels, she did an interview and said she was engaged to a football player.

So out of the five, she will have married THREE of them? 3/5? That's 60%. So she will have married 60% of her boyfriends? WTFever. And who said you only had sex with your BOYFRIEND??? Shoot, anybody can count how many BOYFRIENDS they've had. What that got to do with crankin'????? Like I said, WTFever.

The first Mr. J.Lo-Ho's name was Ojani Noa, and he was a waiter. He didn't fare as well as Jo Jo Dancer in the $$$$ ranks.

[nikki1920]

According to the episode of DRIVEN on her, she dated the same boy throughout High School, so that is four, right? Dang, I cant keep track.. but like you said, WTFEVER!!!! who cares?

Im mad you called him Jo Jo Dancer.. lol

Hip hop icon Russell Simmons wants hip hop fans to boycott Pepsi. Simmons says the soft drink giant used a double standard when it featured foul-mouthed rocker Ozzy Osborne in a Super Bowl commercial but canceled Ludacris’ commercial because the rapper uses vulgar language in his songs. Hmmmm, Russell DOES have a point here... Russell is calling the boycott "The Campaign for Respect.” The proteste will be officially announced at a news conference next week. Simmons said the action follows six months of unsuccessful attempts to negotiate a settlement of the dispute. He said the boycott will continue until Pepsi agrees to three demands: (1) issuing a public apology to Ludacris and the hip-hop community, (2) making a $5 million charitable contribution to the Ludacris Foundation and (3) reinstating the Ludacris Pepsi television commercial. Yesterday, a Pepsi spokesman said, quote: "We learned from it (the Ludacris situation) and we moved on. We completely understand and respect Russell Simmons' passion for promoting hip-hop music and we are working with him and others to do just that.”

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is spending a grip on his big fashion show Saturday at Cipriani in New York. Last year’s event cost $1.2 million, and insiders say that Puffy will spend even more this year! The invitations alone will cost $75,000 (up from $60,000 last year). A thousand invites are being sent out and each one costs 75 bucks! The invitation is a fancy box (stamped with the Sean John logo) with a drawer that you pull out; inside the drawer is a black-on-black T-shirt imprinted with the words HARD SEXY & BEAUTIFUL. A tag attached to the shirt serves as your ticket to the fashion show.

Beyoncé Knowles almost panicked when she realized she’d lost her bracelet during a party after the Golden Globe Awards. It was a one-of-a-kind Bulgari platinum bracelet encrusted with 390 diamonds, so you know Beyonce was buggin’ when it came up missing! After searching the restaurant with her friends, Beyonce told the manager who asked his staff to help look. After about an hour, the bracelet was found by one of the busboys. I hope Beyonce tipped that busboy very well!

Vanity Fair magazine has chosen Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford and Jack Nicholson for the cover of its annual Hollywood issue (which goes on sale March 7). This issue supposedly highlights the hottest stars in Tinsel Town, but guess who wasn’t asked to be on the cover? He’s definitely one of the biggest men in Hollywood. He’s got two Academy Awards (including the Best Actor honor last year) and he’s been getting rave reviews for directing his first movie. His name: Denzel Washington! According to one published report, Denzel might have been invited to participate if Vanity Fair had done an extra-wide cove! r that folded over inside. VF reportedly wanted Mel Gibson to be on this inside flap but he declined and the magazine decided to do a regular cover. Vanity Fair is known for not putting African-Americans on the cover. The last black person on a VF cover was Barry White who was on the cover of last November’s Music Issue. Where was brotha Barry? On the inside flap! Will Smith was also on the inside flap the year after “Independence Day” came out!

Jennifer Lopez is ready to produce her first movie. It’s called "Double of Nothing" and it’s about two women police officers who team up to solve the murder of a male cop who they both used to date. L.Lo will produce the movie through her Nuyorican Productions in partnership with New Line Cinema.

Father-and-son hip hop stars Master P and Lil' Romeo will step in front of the movie cameras later this month to shoot a family comedy called "Uncle P." This flick is about a superstar rapper and tycoon named P. Miller (an obvious nod to Master P’s real name, Percy Miller) who puts his businesses on hold to look after his ailing sister’s three kids. Romeo will play the middle child, a trouble-making 12-year-old in desperate need of a father figure. Looking after the kids helps Master P’s character to see that there’s more to life than business; he gradually realizes the importance and the joys of family. Master P said, quote: "With the success of films like 'Barbershop' and 'Drumline,' I felt it was time for Romeo and I to step into the family comedy genre and take it to the next level with one of the funniest scripts I ever read." Master P is co-financing this movie with a lot of his own money.

The Universal Music Group has canceled its Grammy after-party bash which was supposed to jump off immediately after the February 23rd awards show. Sources cited by the Los Angeles Times claim the plug was pulled on the bash because of potential friction between feuding rappers 50 Cent and Ja Rule (who are signed to separate labels which are both distributed by Universal Music Group). Other sources claim the party was canceled because the cost had climbed to half a million dollars! That’s a hefty price, especially since record sales are down across the music industry.

Michael Jackson swears in that new documentary that there’s nothing weird or inappropriate about him sleeping in the bed with kids. But lawyer / activist Gloria Allred doesn’t trust the King of Pop. Yesterday , Allred sent a letter to chilld welfare services in Santa Barbara County ( where Jackson lives with his three young children) urging them to interview any children who may have been in Jackson’s home or bedroom without the presence of their parents. The documentary airs on ABC’s “20/20” tonight at 8:00.

I heard it this morning on Russ Parr and was like Bernie Mac should get some cash off of that idea.

Although it does sound less ghetto than I GOT THE HOOK UP.
