The End of the Bennifer

2004_01_blo.jpg

Damnit, we'd been so looking forward to a Bennifer wedding and divorce; now we have nothing! Gothamist thinks Ben Affleck deserves another Oscar for playing the dumpee so well, going to the casino till 5AM and looking crappy. Plus allowing Jennifer Lopez to take the credit for ending the relationship - now that's classy. We'd been hearing that he wanted to dump her for a while (we don't have real inside sources, but we do know some good psychics), but apparently in the settlement, J.Lo got dumping rights. But Gothamist knew, in spite of our naive hopes, that it would never work: He called Stern to rave about her, he looked constipated at public events with her, and, finally, he's from Boston, she's from the Bronx, which is serious chasm in terms of baseball.

Watch Jennifer Lopez at the Golden Globes this Sunday in her first post-Bennifer appearance. And somewhere, Matt Damon and Eva Mendes are glad to be the beta couple in that circle of celebrities. And somewhere else, Kevin Smith gets a phone call from Harvey Weinstein about the fate of Jersey Girl (straight to video or is it saved?).

Isn't she only in the first 15 minutes of "Jersey Girl" anyway?

Yes, she bites the dust early on, but there are concerns nonetheless. And apparently that's the film that sealed their "love."

Dammit! Because of this story I will be forced to check out the first post-Bennifer performance at the Golden Globe Awards

Honestly, Jersey Girl looks awful.

Finally, the agony is over! I predict that her next boyfriend will be some "thug" type and his next girlfriend will be some "indie" type. The way nature intended.

isnt the rumor that she's back with p diddy?

uh...am i the only one cynical enough to think that their relationship was a marketing ploy from the onset?

What?! They Broke Up? I'm going to take a week off to recover from this crushing news. ;-P

Ben Affleck = No Talent Hack
J Lo = Can't Act/Can Somewhat Sing Sing/Nice Ass
(Excuse My Sexist Attitude)

I agree with the Ben Affleck = No talent Hack. Sometimes I wonder if he is really a robot??

But, I have to disagree with J LO's ass. Her butt really is big and if it were your girlfriend's butt - you would be asking her to lay off the Crispy Creme's.

I really thought they deserved each other - both are so awful!

yes rachelle, that is the rumor.

and i much prefer krispy kremes over crispy cremes. but that's just a personal preference.

Matt and Ben! They like the Latin ladies...

I'm sorry but I must strenuously disagree with your characterization of JLo's posterior. If anything, in keeping with Gothamist's posts on Renee Zellweger during/after/during the Bridget Jones filming, we need to *celebrate* "curves" a bit more. JLo is beautiful on the exterior, its everything else that sucks.

it's not over--
p-diddy is helping them to plan their wedding in a secret location a la jfk jr and carolyn bessette.
this is just a trick to fool Janice Min, Bonnie Fuller and all the other media warthogs.
