Thank God Ben Affleck didn't marry Jennifer Lopez. By the time they were engaged, they were so over photographed and publicized, it virtually disgusting. It was far worse than Brad and Angelina now. It was obvious that Bennifer cared for one another, but together it was career suicide. They seemed more concerned about the publicity that their relationship generated, than they did about their work. And both of the careers suffered for it. It's taken some time for Ben to finally be taken seriously again in the industry. Now with "Gone, Baby Gone" released and well recieved, Hollywood finally got another glimpse of what he has to offer the industry. His personal life didn't have to be on full display for him to get press. His work stood on it's own. While neither Ben or Jen were directly to blame for the other one's failures, they were far more successful seperately than together.

Jennifer Lopez nearly wore the most expensive wedding dress Vera Wang has ever designed.
"It was a couture fabric," Wang tells CNBC's Michael Eisner. "I think all in all, there were 18 tiers. It was really probably, far and away, the most expensive and time-consuming [dress] to sew."
The dress was for Lopez's wedding to Ben Affleck – a wedding that never happened because the couple split during their engagement.
Eisner's interview with Wang airs on March 24.

This is played out. She didnt marry him who cares about a dress she never wore. I have a wedding dress I never wore because I wised up about the guy will you write a story about mine...I dont think so. Why are the magaizines "US" and "people" and the others only doing stories about the celebs? They arent the only "US's" and "people" in the world. Report something worth it....Another LAME *A$$* Story.

sarah @ 8:22, yes the pics were for publicity, but so were last weeks of Christina Aguilera's. There were some of her down to earth dressed in jeans etc. And since were on the topic, what about angelina & brad's pics 2 years ago of newborn Shiloh??? they were in jeans & t-shirts. She had a wifebeater with her bra straps hanging out for crying out loud! And guess what?? Those pics sold for over a MILLION dollars. I get what the poster you responded to meant, I guess YOU didnt.
Only people born in Spain are Spanish. She is Puerto Rican or Hispanic... there's a difference.
I used to like her because she was Spanish like me, but I can't stand her. She's forgotten where she came from and turned into the worst.
Dear 7:47 AM Anonymous: DUH! They took the pictures for PUBLICITY! It's not supposed to be a "day in the life of" shot. Wow. Sometimes the stupidity in the world amazes me. I almost NEVER leave a comment, but that... wow. I had to say something. Honey, lemme break it down: They get dressed up, they take pictures, they sell pictures, tabloids run them, we see them, we buy magazines, world keeps spinning. Meanwhile, in real life, she's probably at home in sweats and a pony tail goin' a little out of her mind trying to take care of two newborns. GROW A BRAIN.
I saw the People Magazine article and pics of Jlo, Mark and the babies. It was soooo staged, these pictures only show how desperate she is. They are taking care of the babies in designer clothes and massive jewels? Come on, and although all babies are cute, the Jlo twins area cute only because they are babies, they are just not great. As for Ben and JGarner, she is a class act and he became a better man for leaving Jlo. His adaughter seems happy and so does he and Jen. Jlo is just ghetto with money and excess is the only thing that makes her happy. I feel sorry for her children, they will be exploited for her own self serving reasons and it's already starting.
Mkay first of all...
Ben and Jen Gar are an amazing couple with a beautiful girl. Ben dumped JLo because she was too ghetto and diva for him. Jen Gar is plain and simple and pretty. He gave her a smaller ring because he knew money didn't matter to her because she is SO down to earth.
Ohhh yahh...
As for that beauty Dianara...
How could JLo get between Ms. Universe and her husband???
Ms. Universe is beautiful and JLo is just ghetto.
Whatever! I think Jennifer Lopez is way prettier than than plain Jennifer Garner! Ben Affleck even gave Garner a much smaller ring!! He only married her cuz of the baby. And he only hooked up with her AFTER Jennifer Lopez married Marc Anthony!! LOL.....By the way, I think Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez made such a hot couple!
I think US is just trying to bring up a J.Lo story because People has the baby pictures.
How sad for jennifer, to marry the safe, reliable guy, not the true love of her life. Her and Marc dont have half the heat she had with ben. Now that she has what she always wanted, BABIES, I give them 2 years before she dumps him.
Wow Lee, you sure are an expert! Since you realize that there are in fact two sides to every story, why dont you use that logic when spreading rumors about the details of marc & dayanara's start and finish? "Just ask anyone in P.R. how it went." Why, does marc update everyone on the island about his private life??
9:00 PM Lee Says:
This is for the "anonymous" who wrote she is a home wrecker. Just to let you know that back in 98 in Puerto Rico Jenn and Marc were dating when suddenly his ex-wife Dayanara wanted to meet him................
------------------------------------------------------------
Wrong!!!!!!!!!! He wanted to meet her after visiting Philipines and saw her in a soap opera!!
That marriage was doomed to fail. Too much drama.
6:23 - She was w/Ben Affleck after Diddy and after her second marriage (to Chris Judd). Remember the Bennifer craze and the pink engagement ring? lol
yeaaaaaah, suuuure 9:00 pm. Marc A and Dayanara had a second wedding then all of a sudden Ben dump Jlo and BAM ... jlo is with marc.
This is for the "anonymous" who wrote she is a home wrecker. Just to let you know that back in 98 in Puerto Rico Jenn and Marc were dating when suddenly his ex-wife Dayanara wanted to meet him..and she broke them off...she married him...and a few years later..he realized that he loved Jenn and not Dayanara.
You can ask anybody in PR ...that's the way it went ..!!
Don't judge until you know both sides of the story.
y'all know she helped Marc Anthony breakup his marriage, right? homewreckers!
Ummm where's the pic of the dress?!?!....Since there is no pic,why is this even a story?!
That is mean calling him Skeletor. Thats who Jennifer loves.
Why bring up this old story? Just let it go. The past is the past, both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have moved on. I just hope the twins look like her and not like her Skeletor husband.
Her twins look just like Marc Anthony! Poor babies!
Boo! A pic of the dress should be posted, not J-lo.
J.Lo probably has it in her closet and wishes she was married to Ben instead of SKELETOR -- BTW - SKELETOR is looking even uglier than usual - guess that's what lack of sleep will do to you...
Where is the picture of the dress? That is what I thought they were going to show. And how many years ago were they going to get married and this is news now.
I don't get why this is news.
If you are going to post about the dress that "wasn't", at least show a pic of it. This is sad.
Uh, is there a pic of it or something? What's with these half a$$ed articles written by US?
Was this engagement before or after she dated Diddy?
