Arrrrgh.

Jenny may be from the block but she's acting like she's Jenny from the red light district corner.

Is anybody else besides me utterly nauseated at the marriage of Jennifer Lopez to Mark Anthony? I used to like a few songs by Anthony. Bleech.

J. lo? Never bought a darn cd and now absolutely will not ever.

Seems Mark was married to a gorgeous former Miss Universe and father to two very small children I believe age three and one. He and Ms. Lopez (then engaged to Ben Affleck) record a record in Jan. of this year. Days later, Ben breaks up and Bennifer is no more. Within a week Jen is out in public with Anthony, the married man and father. He immediately separates from his gorgous wife for the "talented" (maybe if you consider talent in terms of ability to jump from relationship to relationship and in the procurement of jewelry) JLO. Very nasty custody and divorce ensues. Anthony claims to courts that "he's going thru financial hardships (maybe paying for JLO) and offers a poor settlement to his wife (sounds familiar to me...waaaay familiar)".

Then two weeks ago he flies to Dominican Republic and gets a quickie divorce and then within five days makes an honest woman outta JLO. Rumor has it she's preggo. So in a nutshell, she is a SERIAL CHEATER. Cheated on hubby no. 2, for Ben Affleck and then cheated on Ben with Mark.

I think she should change her name to J. HO.

HA! Good one... me too.

Thing is, AS MUCH PAIN AND TORTURE AS ALL OF US GO THRU - ANYONE WHO HAS REASON TO BE ON THIS SITE - she will snuff out a marriage with hardly a thought. She will drop a man with total disregard. Hollywood marriages? Why bother?!? I've been suicidal over my bad M... they change spouses more than they change their underwear.

This whole thing just makes me sick. From the reports on Anthony he is a serial cheater and as far as J.Lo. goes she seems to think of nobody, but herself. Her past relationships scream of a neediness to be loved at any cost with little judgement.

It just really makes me sad for the kids. I know first hand what this does to kids. I can only imagine what the whole celebrity lifestyle adds to it.

Very sad.

Take care and God bless!

Ok ok...Here's my internet bet. One point five years. Unless she is indeed preggers which will end in three years. And my end prediction is that ANTHONY WILL SUE FOR ALIMONY...

Yep. That's how I see it.

Was at the grocery store today and STAR mag did an article on it and gushed over J HO and her dress, and reception, and quickie ceremony. Made it sound "romantic" how they mey many years ago and had to "hold back" their illegit love. How he wrote a touching song for her years ago. Bleech. Now I won't read star in line at the grocery anymore.

There is so much romanticizing an affair. If you were to ask (for example), my x's new wistress/wife how they met, she'd say..,"oh it was beautiful. I was at a beach retreat for North Point church in Destin FL and he had a yacht party and we met there." Nevermind that 1)she was attending a singles' retreat with a church group and 2)he was throwing a wild yacht party with joint marriage monies and a married man. If you ask the wrong person how the affair marriage happens, you get nothin' but fog. And where was I when the lovebirds met? About forty miles further down the beach with my son enjoying the sand and ocean. He called us about four times while we were down there (one of my former co workers and life long girlfriend was visiting me down there and my son)to "make sure we were having fun". Bleech.

I sure wish Family Values were more attractive and could get some more jobs as a model so they could indeed move to CA and join J HO and all the other celebs. And btw...my bet for J Ho and Mark is the exact same timetable I give my x.

You know...J Ho could have saved alot of moolah and used the same dress from the last three weddings. Hmmm. would be interesting. I wonder what was her something borrowed? Maybe it was Mark. Her something old? Maybe her previous two wedding dressed or the one she never used with Ben. Her something blue? Maybe Mark's wife. Something new? Maybe the bun
'n the oven.

I hope they record a record together as stupid as the Bennifer movie was.

I give it 6 months. According to her history she'll find someone new to cheat on the current hubby with.

If she's knocked up, I give it a few years like the other poster.

That girl sure is desperate for love.

She should try dating instead of marriage!!!

Peachy,

I was just talking about J-Ho the other day. I was like YUCK!!! Sleep around girl!

I use to like her but don't anymore. I believe the woman has issues! She needs to learn to stand on her own two feet for once in her life time. But seeing her track record I bet she will have more marriages than Elizabeth Taylor!

I don't think they even give time for fog to settle in. It's more like impulse shopping.

Hi Peachy,

Mayflower back on line... It's been such a long time since I have posted. It's been a crazy year. Read up on your post wow... have we been threw the ringer and still hung outside to dry...

My post name had to change lost my id number. So am under SKY DIVER. Divorced now, thank goodness, what a battle.

Hope we can exchange email address.

I didn't know that Jethro dad was a hard core pharisee... was he a stoner too, like his son, when they showed up to your son sunday school presentation was it Easter? My that family is wacked...wackco... like my XH.

It;s taken me 2 years to get a divorce.XH gets insaner, insaner by the day on affair 8x... After monkey ho cousin, he leaped into his school reunion again.

Dating two women from that pool. So makes 3 he picked up. Seems gaming in his HS reunion pool has been better than the bars. Guess, the bars are reserved for his one nighters to cheat on the other 2 attachements. Yup, his cousin was deaf. So I am sure the next two must what be blind and dumb... Well they all usually are in the first place.

One of them lives across the street from him for convienece. Oh what a play boy. That dough thang will one day dry up and crumpled. I am sure will fall off and so will your J super stud in the mud. Have you thought of sending him to the urologists, they can help those who can't help themselves.

Hugs,oooxxx

Mayflower! So cool to hear from you...I am so glad you're back...And yea, we've been thru the mill but we're back and badder than ever <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Yea, Jethro's dad was a deacon in a certain denomination and he's a big time womanizer. But they kept it hush hush for many years and I to this day can't understand how his mom stayed with the man. Yep. Jethro learned his manipulations right at home. What better negative role models than parents huh? That in a wierd way makes me glad I am divorced as my son will see different parents and different worlds basically. Kinda like Luke Skywalker and the rebellion and Darth Vader and the Darkside. I've even pictured the reckoning day when my son finds out the truth (although he knows alot by age five and a half)..."Luke...I am your father." That scene. Where he asks Luke to join him on the dark side.

But I am really tongue and cheek now about things as I know that humor has truly helped me look at the whole ordeal differently. When you are emotionally able to take about ten steps back and look at the crud you're enduring when you're faced with a serial cheater and impending divorce, you start to laugh at the whole damn thing. Sure it's sad, but the ones doing the destruction don't really see what's up. Blind to it basically.

Went and got a manicure tonight after the benadryl wore off (am also on an antibiotic now) and ironically in all the mags at the salon, there was nothing but J HO all over it and her "romantic affair marriage". They even did a piece on Dyanarra Torres, his x. She's gorgeous and her comment was "I am doing great and I am fine". Wow. She sure is and I bet she won't be single long. There was a quote from her side that Anthony threatened to sue her for 10k each time she mentioned his name in a public interview and that he was for sure claiming to be a poor man despite his purchasing J HO an EIGHT CARAT diamond. Bleech. No word of the other illegit child Anthony supposedly fathered either.

Dyanarra said she had originally filed for D in jan. I guess that was the time that the affair pregnancy and birth reared its ugly head. Maybe Anthony is losing money...after all he's gotta support THREE kids now. And I wonder how fogg ghetto princess J HO feels being an instant stepmum to three kids she doesn't know.

Wierd thing is my timeline from divorce to x's remarriage is EXACTLY THE SAME. And it's hilarious in its own way to see the other x like myself announcing to the world she's doing just fine...she was also a stay at home mom b/c Anthony wouldn't let her work. Now she's back and accepted a movie offer and looking great. And if J HO is indeed preggers then it would be exactly same as my very dumb x's sitch. Another wierd thing is that his x and I were born on same Carribbean island. Wierd huh?

And me and the cute PA are doing ok once more. After a few days in absentia, he's back and sent very sweet text email to me. I did not go to Vegas w/him to the medical convention and have kept my distance and this time he asks me if "since I won the bet would I prefer to have a weekend getaway to the beach as my winnings?"...FYI. we made a dumb bet when the cost of gas would go down considerably. I said it would go down to at least a buck eighty within two months and he said it would not go down until five months from now. Ha ha I won. He was really nice about me being sick today and called me later after the text thing. And yet another wierd coincidence...he was also born on same little island as I was. Twenty miles away to be exact.

It's so funny this whole thing after the divorce b/c when I was married it was a Latin guy who always made my blood pressure rise if you know what I mean...but not M.A. to be sure. Nope. Despite the gay rumors I have always had it in for Ricky Martin and my girlfriends all give me heck about it. My x hated whenever he'd come on t.v. and would deliberately change the channel or radio. The week we formally separated, I left and took son after finding out that monekyho, mistress1 and that mistress 2 were lurking about, took son to the carribbean for a cruise. We stopped in Cozumel on the cruise and his parents and my sister and bro in law were on the cruise with us. I remember my x freaking out and calling my stateroom (charge was 11 bucks a minute ship to shore)b/c he was utterly convinced that in a 18 hour extended port at Cozumel, that I would shamelessly because of his poor behavior, comb the streets and have a torrid affair with a latin man...all in 18 hours mind you. So I was accused of having an eighteen hour affair. Anyway, time passes and I get single. Who do I end up dating out of the sea of men and the ones I've kinda weeded thru? A very cute latin guy named Rick from same island both entertainer I dig is from and where I was also born. But he's definitely not gay and although he has good grooming habits and two masters' degrees...never married and no kids...last week his patients jokingly called him "dr. stamos". Med staff at practice I work with thought it was a gut busting laugh-a-thon after hearing that one.

Sometimes living well is by far the best revenge. And you'd best be careful what you wish for. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Gee & I thought "Bennifer", those crazy kids of course they'd make it....

J. Lo is marketing. But, like Julia Roberts, once you break up a marriage, well, it isn't like dating the "bad boys"...it's just yuck, somebody else who wants what they want, no matter whom it hurts.

If the woman has the money & power, the ages are somewhat similar. But, if the "star" is the guy, "she" is always 20-30 years younger, and he either looks old or suddenly gets that "tighter" cosmetic surgery look. Even doctors couldn't help Michael Douglas look anywhere near Catherine Zeta's age. Harrison Ford breaks my Han Solo-lovin' heart.

Well, it has lasted longer than Brittney's marriage. But not as long as the matching tattoos that B and her boy-toy got.

Yeah, maybe there is something to that smog.

Romantic wedding, my foot. Just call it expensive publicity.
