  • Ben Affleck: His Phoenix Isn’t Rising, Back Tattoo a Fake

    Ben Affleck: His Phoenix Isn’t Rising, Back Tattoo a Fake

    Ben Affleck has been mercilessly teased over a giant tattoo he’s been sporting on his back since early March. A large bird, raising its wings as though ready to take flight, the artwork seems to depict a phoenix.

    Even ex-wife Jennifer Garner and ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez think the tattoo looks stupid.

    Alas it seems Ben Affleck’s phoenix isn’t rising after all. The large bird emblazoned onto his back is nothing but a fake–some artwork created to look like a tattoo for an upcoming film role.

    The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star shared in a recent interview with Extra’s Mario Lopez that the phoenix definitely won’t rise.

    “I actually do have a number of tattoos…but I try to have them in places where you don’t have to do a lot of cover up…they get sort of addictive, tattoos, after awhile,” Ben Affleck told the Extra host.

    Were you a fan of Ben Affleck’s new (fake) tattoo? Or did you side with both Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez in thinking the tattoo was way too big–and ugly?

    Fans can check out Ben Affleck, now safe in the knowledge that his body hasn’t been permanently marred by oversized art, when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters. It opens nationwide on March 25.

  • Ben Affleck: Giant Back Tattoo is Fake, “Inked” for Upcoming Film Role

    Ben Affleck: Giant Back Tattoo is Fake, “Inked” for Upcoming Film Role

    Ben Affleck has taken lots of ribbing over a giant tattoo he has sported on his back since early March. A large bird, raising its wings as though about to take flight, the ink appears to be that of a phoenix.

    Even the Phoenix Suns got in on the Ben Affleck bashing earlier this month.

    Both ex-wife Jennifer Garner and ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez hate the tattoo.

    Fortunately, for all the Ben Affleck tattoo haters, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star shared in a recent interview with Extra’s Mario Lopez that the giant tattoo on his back is fake. The alleged ink is for an upcoming movie role.

    “I actually do have a number of tattoos…but I try to have them in places where you don’t have to do a lot of cover up…they get sort of addictive, tattoos, after awhile,” he told the Extra host.

    Are you glad to learn that the giant phoenix on Ben Affleck’s back isn’t a real tattoo?

    Fans can check out Ben Affleck–sans the tattoo–when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters nationwide on March 25.

  • Trent Harmon Wows Judges on “American Idol” With Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man”

    Trent Harmon Wows Judges on “American Idol” With Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man”

    Trent Harmon wowed American Idol judges on Thursday with his rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man.” He even brought Jennifer Lopez to tears.

    “It’s moments like this [that remind me] why I love Idol and why I’m going to miss it so much,” she said, referencing the show’s current and final 15th season. “It’s been having this front seat to watching the perfect song and the perfect singer sing it at that time.”

    “That’s what happened there, and it made me feel like, ‘Damn, I’ve been so lucky the five years I got to be on the show and watch things like that,’” she added of Trent’s performance. “You sang that song so beautifully, and I felt every single word of it. Thank you for giving me one of those moments.”

    Harry Connick, Jr. was impressed with Trent Harmon, too.

    “You know what would be really fun? To hear a duet between Trent and Adam Lambert,” he said following Harmon’s performance. “There would be, like, glasses breaking everywhere. It would be crazy.”

    “It would be a dream come true,” Trent Harmon replied.

    Trent Harmon is one of the top five contestants remaining on American Idol.

    Do you think he has what it takes to make it to the top?

    Might Trent Harmon be the final American Idol?

  • Ben Affleck: Phoenix Suns Poke Fun at His Back Tattoo

    Ben Affleck must have been in a divorce fog a few months ago, when he got the imagine of a giant phoenix tattooed on his back. Since then he’s been poked fun of by everyone from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner to his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez. Now the Phoenix Suns have hopped aboard the “pick on Ben Affleck” train as well.

    The NBA’s Phoenix Suns took to Twitter on Wednesday, suggesting a far better tattoo alternative for Ben Affleck.

    It was just days before that Jennifer Lopez–while a guest on Watch What Happens Live—told Andy Cohen Ben Affleck’s new tattoo is “awful,” and that it has “too many colors.”

    Since neither of the Jennifers like Ben Affleck’s tattoo, who do you suppose urged him to get inked or assured him it was a work of inked art?

    Maybe Christine Ouzounian–the nanny with whom Ben Affleck allegedly cheated on Jennifer Garner–is a fan of giant colorful tattoos.

    What’s your take on Ben Affleck’s ink?

  • Jennifer Lopez Says Ben Affleck’s Tattoos Should Be “Cooler”

    Jennifer Lopez had quite a bit to say about ex Ben Affleck’s new back tattoo when she sat down for an interview with Andy Cohen recently, calling it “awful”.

    Lopez says Ben has always had an affinity for colorful tattoos and they’re just too much.

    “It’s awful! What are you doing? His tattoos always have too many colors, they shouldn’t be so colorful. They should be cooler,” Jennifer said.

    Hangin with this guy! @bravoandy #wwhl

    Lopez isn’t the only Jennifer in Ben’s life who’s not a fan of the new ink; Jennifer Garner, who split from Affleck last year amid rumors that he had been unfaithful with their nanny, said in a recent Vanity Fair interview that if the tattoo of a giant phoenix is supposed to represent Ben rising from the ashes of their relationship, she’s not having it.

    “You know what we would say in my hometown about that? ‘Bless his heart.’ A phoenix rising from the ashes. Am I the ashes in this scenario? I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.”

    Jennifer Garner went pretty in-depth in the interview, saying she married Ben for who he was and not who he was in the glare of Hollywood’s spotlight. But sometimes, she recalled, it wasn’t always easy to love him.

    “I didn’t marry the big fat movie star; I married him. He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy. I always say, ‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”

    Jennifer Garner took to the Oscars after-party with Ben over the weekend, although news sources noted they left separately. Jen’s former Alias co-star, Victor Garber, spoke about her poise while on the red carpet, noting that she was handling everything so well.

    “She’s dealing with a lot of stress and pain, and dealing with it in, I think, a magnificent way. I’ve always found her to be incredibly authentic. It’s part of why people, I think, are drawn to her, because she is real. She also has a great capacity for love. You know, her children are her passion. And so, all that said, she’s dealing with the situation, I think, miraculously.”

  • Ben Affleck Just Got A Big, ‘Awful’ Tattoo, His Exes Had Some Choice Words About His New Ink

    Ben Affleck Just Got A Big, ‘Awful’ Tattoo, His Exes Had Some Choice Words About His New Ink

    Ben Affleck has been through a lot in the last year, with his multiple successes in his film career both as an actor and director.  He has also made headlines over the failure of his marriage with ex-wife, Jennifer Garner and the surrounding rumors of his alleged affair with their former nanny.

    The tumultuous course of events and the eventual breakdown of his marriage may have proven to be quite overwhelming. Affleck recently got himself a huge colorful tattoo that took over most of the space on his back.

    The tattoo, which depicts a phoenix rising from the ashes, has gotten more nays than yays, and two of his exes are no exception.

    Jennifer Lopez, whom Ben Affleck dated in 2002, appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live on Monday and participated in Andy Cohen’s “Plead the Fifth” segment.

    When asked about her opinion on Affleck’s back tattoo, Lopez immediately said “It’s awful! His tattoos always have too many colors, they shouldn’t be so colorful. They should be cooler.”

    Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer also had a recent interview with Vanity Fair magazine, in which she reveals how she fell in love with Ben Affleck and how the marriage fell apart. Another bit that stood out from the interview was her comments on her ex-husband’s back ink.

    “You know what we would say in my hometown about that? ‘Bless his heart,’” said the 43-year-old actress.

    “A phoenix rising from the ashes. Am I the ashes in this scenario?” she continued. “I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.”

    Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were married for 10 years before ending up in a very public divorce last year. Rumors of cheating circulated, alleging that Affleck had an affair with their children’s former nanny, Christine Ouzounian. Affleck has denied the rumors, and now, Garner is doing the same.

    “We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny,” said Garner. “She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes.”

  • Kelly Clarkson Moves Everyone to Tears With ‘Piece By Piece’ Performance on ‘Idol’

    Kelly Clarkson because very emotional during her performance of Piece by Piece on Thursday’s episode of American Idol and she wasn’t the only one to break down in tears over the performance.

    The former Idol winner, who is also pregnant, wiped away tears was became so choked up that she missed a few lyrics as she performed as guest judge on the first live show of the farewell season of American Idol.

    As reported by Us Weekly, Clarkson wasn’t the only Idol judge to lose it. Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez also became emotional as they watched Kelly struggle through the song.

    It’s no wonder the singer became as emotional as she did considering she owes her career to the show. Clarkson was the first-ever contestant to be crowned an Idol winner 14 seasons ago.

    Clarkson, despite being only weeks away until she gives birth to her second child, was bound and determined to be a part of the series’ final season.

    Following her performance, Clarkson told Ryan Seacrest she was sorry for letting her emotions get the best of her.

    “I’m pregnant and I’m nostalgic and I can’t believe it’s the last season, and I’m really sorry but I just bawled,” she said, as the audience applauded her efforts.

    Clarkson hinted before the performance that she might have trouble getting through the song, which she said is about being abandoned by her father as a child.

    “I actually wrote it pregnant with my little girl and now I’m pregnant with my little boy,” she said. “So if I don’t make it through and I start crying, just laugh. It’ll make me feel better.”

  • Brenda K. Starr: Singer-Songwriter’s Daughter Gianna Auditions for “American Idol”

    Brenda K. Starr, the singer and songwriter best known for her 1988 hit, “I Still Believe,” has a daughter hoping to follow in her footsteps. Her daughter, 15-year-old Gianna Isabella, auditioned for American Idol on Wednesday. Despite some technical difficulties, she wowed judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick, Jr.

    According to a report from Billboard magazine, anyone who tuned in to Wednesday night’s episode of American Idol was aware of the glitches. Just as Brenda K. Starr’s daughter was about to audition, the sound cut out.

    That meant viewers missed Gianna Isabella explaining to the judges exactly who her famous mom is, and how Brenda K. Starr used to rehearse at the same dance studio that trained Jennifer Lopez. The audience also missed a very sweet conversation between Gianna Isabella and Brenda K. Starr before she entered the audition room.

    Billboard shared a clip of everything viewers missed prior to Gianna Isabella’s audition, as well as her audition, and even Brenda K. Starr as she is brought into the audition room.

    Are you surprised to see Brenda K. Starr’s daughter get a three-way thumbs up from the American Idol judges–as well as a very special vote from her mom?

  • Ben Affleck Might Go Back To Jennifer Lopez Now? Leah Remini Wouldn’t Say.

    Ben Affleck has said in the past that he and Jennifer Lopez still keep in contact. Now that he and Jennifer Garner are history, might he look J Lo up again?

    “We don’t have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice, but we do have the kind of relationship where there’ll be an email saying, ‘Oh, your movie looks great,’” Ben Affleck said in 2012. “I remember when she got American Idol. I said: ‘This was really smart. Good luck.’ I touch base. I respect her. I like her. She’s put up with some stuff that was unfair in her life, and I’m really pleased to see her successful.”

    As for Jennifer Lopez, she has been pretty clear that Ben Affleck was a major chapter in her life.

    When Lopez was about to release her book True Love, she spoke with Maria Shriver on the Today show. In the sit-down, Shriver remarked about how quickly Lopez had moved on after splitting with Affleck back in 2004. She was married to Marc Anthony within six months of the split with Affleck.

    “Right, you’re absolutely right,” Lopez told Shriver. “It was probably my first big heartbreak, and to have one of my best friends who I’d known for years, who I actually love and did have chemistry with, come into my life and say, ‘I’m here’…”

    So, might there be a shot at seeing Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez together again? Why not ask her best friend Leah Remini?

    That’s exactly hat Andy Cohen did on “Watch What Happens Live”

    “I really don’t know,” Leah Remini responded. But she also admitted, “Even if I did, I probably wouldn’t [say], because it would be weird for me to comment on people’s lives. But no, not anything that I know of.”

    The latest news is that Jennifer Lopez is with Casper, her on-again-off-again boyfriend. But he’s no Ben Affleck. Maybe that old song could get played again?

  • Karlie Kloss or Jennifer Lopez: Who Wore It Better?

    Karlie Kloss wore a daring one-legged jumpsuit on Thursday at Cannes. Her high-fashion Atelier Versace ‘jumpsuit-slash-dress’ was a throwback to one Jennifer Lopez wore less than a year ago. The buzz about that unusual article of clothing now is–who wore it better?

    One of the top supermodels of the 2000s, Karlie Kloss is nothing if not simply gorgeous in anything she wears. Even unusual, not-for-just-anyone articles of clothing some people wouldn’t be caught dead in look positively fabulous on her.

    Kloss shared photos of herself at Cannes in the jumpsuit/dress in question.

    Versace shared one, too.

    “@karliekloss stunned in Atelier Versace at the Opening Ceremony of the #Cannes2015 Film Festival #VersaceCelebrities,” the Versace Instagram post is captioned.

    Karlie Karlie Kloss shared the following Instagram photo.

    “MERCI BEAUCOUP @versace_official for the gorgeous couture gown, @degrisogono_official for the fabulous jewels, @lorealparisofficial @chapuyc @charlottewillermakeup #StefanLancien @michaelangelnyc @tombachik for getting me Red Carpet ready! #cannes2015,” she captioned it.

    Now check out Karlie Kloss alongside Jennifer Lopez–who is also a complete knockout, even at more than two decades older than the model–in their very similar jumpsuit/dresses.

    Who do you think wore the look better? The Karlie Kloss version is definitely more revealing.

    And did you catch Karlie Kloss on Sunday night at the Billboard Music Awards? She was just one of the models featured in Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood‘ music video that premiered at the start of the show.

  • Casper Smart, Jennifer Lopez: Are They Back Together?

    Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez are rumored to be back together again, although neither has officially confirmed their relationship status. During a chat with Ellen DeGeneres on her show on Friday, J-Lo came as close as anyone has thus far to defining their relationship.

    “Have you ever been at a point in your life where you don’t know? Like, you’re not sure about things?” Lopez asked Ellen. “I am not sure about anything.”

    Jennifer Lopez was first linked to Casper Smart–one of her back-up dancers–back in 2011, not long after her split from husband Marc Anthony.

    Of their relationship now–she does admit they’re ‘seeing’ each other–she says the two are ‘having fun’ spending time together.

    “I’m a grown woman,” she told Ellen DeGeneres. “[I’m] doing … whatever I feel like doing!”

    So what if she becomes pregnant while ‘having fun’ with Casper Smart?

    Jennifer Lopez claims he’s ‘on board.’

    She has two children with Marc Anthony and says she’d love to have more.

    “I wish I could have four or five more,” she gushed. “I love kids, and I love the whole experience.”

    While none of this answers questions about the prospective longevity of J-Lo’s relationship with Casper Smart, she must feel something concrete exists between them if becoming pregnant wouldn’t be detrimental.

    Casper Smart is 28 years old. Jennifer Lopez is 45. How might parenting be for a couple with this kind of May-December romance?

    Surely time will tell whether things work out for Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez. She is sure to have way more time on her hands in a few months, as American Idol–on which she serves as a judge–has been cancelled following its January run.

    Of course J-Lo has signed on for a Las Vegas residency, and rumor has it, Casper Smart might be her choreographer.

    Maybe she and Casper Smart will settle down and make babies in 2016?

  • ‘American Idol’ Ending With Season 15, Did ‘The Voice’ Cause Its Demise?

    American Idol is coming to an end following its 15th season, which is scheduled to begin in January. Do you suppose The Voice played a role in its demise? The singing competition show was the first of its kind, and was initially met with a huge viewership. After NBC introduced The Voice, however, the ratings plummeted.

    Us Weekly reports that Fox made the announcement Monday morning, May 11th, about American Idol’s cancellation.

    “American Idol will begin its 15th–and final–season this January on FOX,” the network wrote in a statement. “A season-long celebratory event, American Idol XV will feature host Ryan Seacrest and judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr., as they search for the final Idol superstar and pay tribute to the past 14 seasons of amazingly talented contestants and the millions of fans who tweeted, texted and championed their Idols.”

    American Idol will have graced the airwaves and scoured through countless prospective star singers for 13 years when it ends its run. The only constant figure throughout its entire reign is Ryan Seacrest. During the show’s first season, he introduced judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and Randy Jackson. That trio went on to work with Kara DioGuardi, Ellen DeGeneres, Lopez, Steven Tyler, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Urban, and Connick, Jr. The trio of Lopez, Urban, and Connick, Jr. has been in place since 2014’s 13th season of American Idol.

    Some major talent has come from American Idol throughout the years. Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson, and Kellie Pickler all competed on or won American Idol.

    Are you disappointed to hear American Idol is coming to an end with its 15th season? Do you think The Voice , with judges Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Pharrell Wiliams, and Christina Aguilera is a better quality program? Might it have contributed to American Idol calling it quits?

  • Jerry Lewis: Muscular Dystrophy Telethon Ends, Marking the End of an Era

    Jerry Lewis: Muscular Dystrophy Telethon Ends, Marking the End of an Era

    Jerry Lewis worked tirelessly for more than 45 years bringing together celebrities, his humor and viewers for an annual Labor Day telethon to benefit children suffering from Muscular Dystrophy.

    It seemed the country came together to watch celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion and Jennifer Lopez perform and man telephones as the tote board marked the millions of dollars coming in for “Jerry’s kids.” Tears flowed as an exhausted Jerry Lewis ended each telethon with his broken, but moving rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone.

    That era of American television has come to an end.

    “It’s not a 21-hour world anymore,” said Steve Ford, MDA executive vice president, with the announcement that the telethon will no longer be a Labor Day tradition.

    It’s not surprising the telethon is ending in this new era of social media, technology and the ability to fundraise in a more effective manner. When Jerry Lewis stopped hosting the show in 2010, the telethon’s slow demise began. The show was reduced from 21 and a half hours in Jerry Lewis’ final year to 19 in its final year.

    Fundraising will continue, but production costs associated with the telethon makes the endeavor unfeasible.

    “The real heroes have always been our families, and what we need to do is make sure that every dollar we raise is spent working for our families,” he said.

    In 2008, the telethon marked its greatest success, raising $65 million for Jerry’s kids. And over the years, Jerry Lewis helped to raise more than $2 billion for MDA.

    Jerry Lewis’ association with MDA goes back to its inception in 1950. Lewis and his comic partner Dean Martin mentioned the charity not the NBC show, and the two hosted a telethon in 1956. Jerry Lewis began hosting the telethon regularly beginning in 1966.

    Not everyone thought that Jerry Lewis was doing good. Some felt he made people with the disease objects of pity by Lewis in order to raise money.

    With once in a lifetime performances from celebrities like John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash and Ray Charles appearing on the telethon, the MDA has been discussing with Jerry Lewis ways to release some of the archived material.

    Do you remember watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon?

  • Leah Remini Back for Season Two of TLC Show

    Leah Remini is back. Her reality show, Leah Remini: It’s All Relative, has been renewed by TLC for a second season.

    The first season of Leah Remini: It’s All Relative aired over the summer of 2014, and featured her stepfather George, her daughter’s nanny, Remini’s personal assistant, and more. Season two–which the family started filming earlier this month–will include her husband Angelo Pagan, their daughter Sofia, her mother Vicki, and many of season one’s cast of characters, too.

    Season one of Leah Remini: It’s All Relative brought in an average of one million viewers per episode. Leah Remini has lots of fans left over from her days on King of Queens, the comedy on which she starred with Kevin James and Jerry Stiller. She made headlines last year when she competed on Dancing With the Stars shortly after calling out the head of the Church of Scientology over the secrets they keep and her concern over the well-being of the church leader, David Miscavige’s wife. Shelly Miscavige hasn’t been seen in public since 2007.

    Leah Remini was spotted out at the premiere for the new film Home recently with BFF Jennifer Lopez. Lopez had her twins Max and Emme in tow, and Remini brought daughter Sofia.

    J-Lo shared an adorable picture of the whole gang on their way home after the movie.

    “On our way to celebrate after seeing #HOME! In theaters March 27th. @jlo #@#BestiePromoInc #YesIOnlyGotOneEye #familia,” she captioned the Instagram shot.

    Kudos to Leah Remini for a couple of things. First off for Leah Remini: It’s All Relative being picked up by TLC for a second season, and secondly for refusing to be silenced by the Church of Scientology. Not only she is teaching her daughter that everything in life can–and often should– be questioned, she may also be helping to open the eyes of many people who have refused to see this organization for what it is.

    The 14-episode second season of Leah Remini: It’s All Relative will air on TLC this summer.

  • Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner Party Just Hours After Dad Bruce Jenner’s Crash That Left a Woman Dead

    Kendall and Kylie Jenner didn’t let the crash involving their dad Bruce Jenner — which left a 69-year-old woman dead — keep them from partying it up Saturday night.

    Mere hours after their father Bruce Jenner was involved in the fatal four-vehicle wreck on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, the girls were at the House of Blues for the Big Sean concert with their brother-in-law Kanye West.

    Kendall Jenner was snapped with West, Justin Bieber, Big Sean, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Brown at the hip-hop show.

    Kanye West joined rappers Meek Mill and J. Cole onstage with Sean during the performance.

    Meanwhile, their dad, Bruce Jenner could face manslaughter charges if it is found that he was texting at the time of the fatal wreck.

    On Sunday, Bruce Jenner released a statement, calling the crash “a devastating tragedy” and vowing to cooperate with investigators.

    “My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident,” Bruce Jenner said in a statement released Sunday evening.

    “It is a devastating tragedy I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them.”

    Despite earlier reports, there is no indication Bruce Jenner was being chased by paparazzi at the time of the crash, authorities said.

    Bruce Jenner passed a field sobriety test and voluntarily submitted a blood sample to determine whether he was intoxicated.

  • Patti Stanger Offers Relationship Advice To Jennifer Lopez

    Patti Stanger knows what makes a relationship work and the types of people that belong with one another.

    Jennifer Lopez knows a thing or two about failed relationships.

    Stanger says that there is a still a chance that Lopez could find love and would love to set her up with someone.

    “I think I could help her, really,” said Stanger in a recent interview with the Huffington Post. “There’s some stuff that she’s doing that I would love to fix. The first thing is: Don’t lead with the cooch.”

    Jennifer Lopez is very attractive and clearly has a lot of sex appeal, but Stanger says that shouldn’t be the only quality she shares with men.

    She suggests that she put sex on the back burner and start showing men how fun and smart she is.

    Once a man is interested in her mentally and invested in her emotionally, than Lopez should consider adding intimacy to the mix, Stanger claims.

    While her opinions may seem rather judgmental, Stanger insists that she is only trying to help.

    “And actually, I would like her to date up and not down…” Stanger said of Lopez’s past relationships. “There’s a lid for every pot.”

    Stanger said she hopes Lopez takes her up on her offer for help and hopes that she knows that she only means well.

    “She’s a drop-dead gorgeous woman. She’s super successful. She made her money, she has her kids. Let’s make love a priority right now,” Stanger added.

    Do you think Jennifer Lopez will really let Patti Stanger set her up with a man?

  • Patti Stanger Offers Jennifer Lopez Dating Tips

    Patti Stanger, host of Bravo’s The Millionaire Matchmaker, has offered Jennifer Lopez some dating advice, and bluntly suggested that the actress should not “lead with the cooch.”

    Stanger, 54, who is sometimes referred to as “The Simon Cowell of Dating,” was very forward in her remarks regarding what tactics J.Lo might implement to land a man. Stanger told Huffpost Live on December 3 that Lopez is the millionaire she would most like to match.

    Lopez recently published a memoir called True Love, which documents her various romances. Stanger thinks that Lopez’ string of failed relationships has something to do with the pop singer’s sex appeal.

    Stanger remarked, “I think I could help her, really. There’s some stuff that she’s doing that I would love to fix. The first thing is: Don’t lead with the cooch.” Stanger added that if Lopez could lose the sex aspect of her allure off the bat, a potential suitor would be able to engage her mentally, and focus on her “hobbies, wishes, and passions.”

    Perhaps J.Lo’s new video for “Booty” illustrates what Stanger means by not leading with the cooch:

    Commenting on Lopez’ June seperation from backup dancer and choreographer Casper Smart, Stanger said, “And actually, I would like her to date up and not down. There’s a lid for every pot.”

    Lopez, who has been previously linked to Chris Judd, Ben Affleck and Marc Anthony, should be “looking for a billionaire, who just hasn’t found the right one,” according to Stanger.

    “She’s a drop-dead gorgeous woman. She’s super successful,” said Stanger of “Jenny From the Block,” adding that “she made her money, she has her kids. Let’s make love a priority right now.”

  • Jennifer Lopez Is Happy for Marc Anthony’s New Engagement; Admits She Was a Handful

    Jennifer Lopez seems to be thinking life through nowadays. After two decades of fiercely working herself into a career position that women in the past would only dream of, J-Lo is looking back on it all as a single woman.

    Her new book True Love is a great place for her to start. She has been doing talk shows to promote the book, and some of the details that she spills are better than any “insider info” speculation that tabloids could cook up.

    And now that ex-husband Marc Anthony is engaged again and “first heartbreak” Ben Affleck is Batman, this might be a good time to pause and reflect.

    “I’m happy for [Marc],” she told New York Daily News regarding Anthony’s new engagement to girlfriend Shannon De Lima.

    “Marc came back into my life three days after I should have been at the altar saying ‘I do’ to another man [Ben Affleck],” she writes in her new book. “Thinking back, maybe deep down I knew that this was a Band-Aid on the cut, that my wound hadn’t been stitched or healed.”

    Marc Anthony has famously said that he knew he was going to marry Lopez when he first met her. But for years they were just friends. Then came the Bennifer split. And Marc became the rebound that lasted for seven years and produced twins.

    Lopez says she knows being with her was tough, especially due to her entourage.

    “There’s a lot of people in my life and that’s hard,” she told Hoda Kotb. “There’s people in the house. There’s hair and makeup. It’s a lot, I think, for someone to deal with.”

    “Forget about all the outside stuff, being judged, being under scrutiny in the relationship… I guess that adds in… but I think they would say that [the entourage] was a big part of their discomfort, if there was any,” she said.

  • Jennifer Lopez: Ben Affleck Was My First Big Heartbreak

    Jennifer Lopez’s new book, True Love, hits streets on November 4. It is being billed as “an honest and revealing personal diary with hard-won lessons and heartfelt recollections and an empowering story of self-reflection, rediscovery, and resilience.”

    With the book about to be released, Jennifer Lopez spoke with Maria Shriver in an interview slated to air on the Today show on November 3 and 4. In the sit-down, Shriver remarked about how quickly Lopez had moved on after splitting with Affleck back in 2004. She was married to Marc Anthony within six months of the split with Affleck.

    “Right, you’re absolutely right,” Lopez, 45, told Shriver. “It was probably my first big heartbreak, and to have one of my best friends who I’d known for years, who I actually love and did have chemistry with, come into my life and say, ‘I’m here’…”

    But Lopez, who has since split from Anthony after they had twins together, warns against hoping someone else can pick you up and heal your heartbreak.

    “What you need to know is, nobody can save you or heal you,” she continued. “Only you can do that for you.”

    Lopez admits that she often overdoes it in the achievement department.

    “It’s still a work in progress for me. It’s how you feel as a child, you know, being a middle child and kind of being invisible sometimes, or, you know, trying to get the attention,” she explained.

    “So what did I do? I overachieved,” she continued. “I was the one who ran track and I won medals every weekend. Or I was the one who would go on the show and steal the show. And that would give me confidence. But there was a part of me that just wanted love, that felt l

    What now in the romance department for Lopez, who dated her former backup dancer for two and a half years after the split with Anthony?

    “I’m open to love,” she told Shriver, “but right now, I think it’s better to just be on my own for a minute and learn more about myself.”

  • George Clooney: Married to Ellen DeGeneres for Halloween

    George Clooney likely had no idea that on Halloween he would be married to Ellen DeGeneres. The holiday has long been a favorite of DeGeneres’ and she goes all out each year with pranks and creepy things on the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Her biggest pleasure, however, is her annual Halloween costume, which receives much regalia as it is unveiled on air each year.

    “Amal, the luckiest woman in the world, Mrs. George Clooney,” Ellen said on Friday’s show. Her costume was replete with a long brunette wig, a People magazine cover, and a puppet of George Clooney.

    “I like Halloween because it’s the one time of year you can dress up however you want, and pretend you’re someone you’d never be in real life. For me, that’s married to a man,” Ellen DeGeneres said to her roaring audience.

    Ellen DeGeneres was especially clever with this year’s Halloween costume. Her creativity actually required that she play the roles of both Amal Aladmuddin Clooney and George Clooney, too.

    “Her left arm was actually the actor’s right, with the two of them firmly holding hands. Things went pretty smoothly, though George got a little handsy from time to time. He is a newlywed, though,” TheWrap writes.

    In her pre-George Clooney years, Ellen DeGeneres has portrayed Nicki Minaj with ample cleavage, Sofia Vergara with her split dress, Jennifer Lopez, and even Dr. Phil. This year’s People cover of George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin’s wedding wasn’t completely original. In 2009 Ellen dressed up as her own cover of Oprah Winfrey’s O magazine.

    Sadly George Clooney wasn’t on hand to watch Ellen portray him on Halloween, but he will no doubt see his stuffed puppet version, along with Ellen DeGeneres dressed as Amal. Photos are likely circulating all over the internet and on social media, too.

  • Jennifer Lopez Speaks Up About Abuse in New Book

    Although she doesn’t claim any physical abuse or name any abuser, singer Jennifer Lopez writes in her new book, True Love, that she felt abused in some of her past relationships.

    “I’ve never gotten a black eye or a busted lip, but I’ve felt abused in one way or another: mentally, emotionally, verbally.”

    True Love didn’t start off as a book chronicling the ups and downs of her love life. Lopez started it as a fan book, a “diary of the years as [she] went on tour.”

    “But it turned into something else,” she told People Magazine. “As I started looking at things, it helped me face a lot. I would never go into specifics about my relationships, and I don’t. But the idea was that I learned something.”

    Lopez, who has been married three times and has been through several media-hungry relationships, says that she has learned a lot about love and standing up for oneself.

    “Every day that you don’t walk out that door,” she writes, “every day you accept things in your partner and in yourself, is a day that you’re saying it’s okay.”

    Lopez’s last marriage was to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2011. The two have 6-year-old twins together. According to Lopez, Anthony is very supportive of her new book.

    “He read it and said, ‘Wow, I didn’t realize you were going through this whole journey.’ We try to be supportive of each other. We feel that’s the best thing for our kids.”

    Since Anthony, the 45-year-old has dated Casper Smart, a former back-up dancer, but the two broke up in June.

    A source told People Magazine that “the relationship had just run its course.”

    “I’m learning to set up boundaries, you know what I’m saying?” said Lopez, who says she is now single. “I call myself a W.I.P. – a work in progress. I’m still learning and growing every single day.”

    True Love hits bookshelves on November 4.
