I really do think that if Tom Cruise or Denzel Washington came into her life she would dump Ben as faster than you can say "I'm real".

Yeah, but don't you think she likes to be the "big shot" in the relationship? Her first husband was a bartender, her second was one of her dancers, and now Ben - a big name but not a "major" actor. I think she only stayed with Puffy because she got so much attention.

I think those who believe that J. Lo is addicted to publicity are right. I hope that someone like Denzel W. would NEVER come into her life. Denzel is much too intelligent and settled for the likes of Jennifer Lopez. Not to mention that he's been married to Pauletta Pearson forever and they have four kids. I like seeing stable families.

She only stayed with Puffy to get her music career going.

I remember when they first got together, the girls in the nail salon were all saying, "Oh, she's only with Puffy to get a record deal! She can't sing!"

I guess they were right.

I don't understand what all the hoopla is - I guess because she's been through 4 relationships in 4 years or so? I mean, she's not a great actress (PLEASE dont compare her to Liz Taylor), she's not a good singer (neither is Madonna, but Madonna is in a class of her own!)...and, she can dance, but so what?

Our local news here in Miami was bcasting in front of JLo's house, the night of the Diane Sawyer interview. It was funny - the house was all dark, the reporter said, "Obviously there's no one home" - it was pretty funny...why bother to do a remote out there when you can't even see the house!?

Good point! She DID say in the interview that she knew in her past two marriages that she was always in control and that she knew this one was real cause she wasn't in control, she was scared and whatnot.

dang Steeptrap are you president of the Denzel fan club?

Naw I just used him as an example because only a few are up there with Denzel and Tom Cruise.

And don't be too sure on Denzel! his wife has almost left him a few times for letting that eye look a little too hard(as she should have)

J.Lo looked so FAKE to me when she was doing her fake laugh with Diane Sawyer. If you really think about it, what has been her longest relationship since she has been famous?

Puffy! The guy she never married! 2 years and some months.

Now I really do think the reason for this is that Puffy and J.Lo together always made them the talk of the town and J.Lo craves that.

I totally agree DeltaQTE. She did seem REALLY fake on the interview. It seemed as if she was trying to convince Diane Sawyer that she was really in love this time. She just seems like a very oportunistic person to me. Did you notice that she always has a new CD or movie come out around the time of her relationship "drama". It's sad that there are people out there who will continuosly use people to get to wherever they want to be. I wonder what Ben's Parents really think of all of this. I am sure the thought that she has been around the block a few times has crossed their minds.

I didn't see the interview, but I did hear about the ring. What bothers me is that she obviously has no clue what a marriage is about-it's not about the ring, the publicity, the parties, etc...it's about work, comprimise, and spending your life with the person you just can't live without. It's not always good times, but also bad times, and even reeeeally bad times. And she just doesn't seem to get it. And the fact that she just jumps from marriage to marriage....whomever said she needs to have some alone time was right!

But I'll get down off my wedding soap-box now.

This is interesting...

Is J.Lo and Ben's love for real?: Is Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's fairytale romance a sham cooked up by Hollywood executives to boost their careers?

I think this is definitely a possibility, although she'd be pretty stupid to set herself up like this. What do you think?

I'm not president of the Denzel fan club, DELTAQTE, but I do like his acting and the image he's presented so far. You could also fill in Will Smith, Tom Hanks and a few others up there with DW and lil' Tom Cruise.
If he does have a roving eye, hopefully Pauletta will put blinders around it.

Sure JLo is stupid, but what does she have to lose? Everyone knows she's not a "good girl" - she has a trashy rep, she's a B movie actress... face it, she ain't no Gwyneth, that's fer sure!

JLo has everything to gain: publicity, a famous husband, etc etc.

Okay, don't you think 5 years from now Ben is going to look back on his appearance in her video and cringe? Could you believe him with wife beater on? Please. And where did that tatoo come from? In addition, just to add to everyone already betting on the quick demise of this relationship, can we discuss the fact that Ben only went to go get treatment for alcoholism about a year ago? Talk about an emotionally vulnerable time! I think he's just drowning his sorrows or anxiety or whatever, in JLos booty rather than booze right now. I just hope the eventual breakup doesn't do him any permanent damage.

Gosh, I'm awful, I'm just so certain that these two people whom I have never met will DEFINITELY divorce. You know, if they prove me wrong I'll be pleased for them. It's always better to see people who make it through things despite negativity. Having said that, I still think I'm not going to be seeing them celebrate a ten year anniversary.

The one positive thing is this: JLo always chooses the best make up artists and hair people. Her makeup was flawless in that interview, and I, for one, really appreciate that.

Oh,I didn't know he had all those problems! I thought he was a normal well adjusted person.

Oh

the

HATING

That is not a word I use lightly at all (honest criticism is not hating) but some of you guys act like you know these people! I am CTFU at some of the stuff here!

Y'all act like Ben Affleck is being DRAGGED to the altar or something. What is HE getting out of the marriage? Please! A beautiful, rich wife! He can forever have cred with any heterosexual man on the planet! "Yeah, J Lo, been there, done that!" He cant say that with Gwyneth Paltrow (have y'all ever seen her in real life? eww! not cute!).

He is just as much of a publicity whore as she is. I dont think she's the best actress or singer but you know what, PEOPLE BUY IT. I am no great singer myself, but if I thought people would buy a couple million of my albums I WOULD BE SANGIN TOO.

I am no J Lo fan (she cant sing and her acting is only ok) but I just had to put a word in.
