THE GIGLI IS UP?
Last week we reported that Gigli was a joke, but we didn't know that it would bomb with a capital B. After an entire week of tarnishing silver screens across the country, it has barely hit the $4 million mark. Compare that to the Spears' sleeper Crossroads which made $17 mil opening weekend. Does this box office debacle (compounded with Affleck's alleged penchant for strippers) mean that the Bennifer bonanza has gone bust? Apparently Jenny's been around the block, flashing her pink diamond-free hand and quipping "I'm single" and that "Ben made a fool out of me". Quite a change from "Dear Ben," Lo's most heartfelt track off the This Is Me...Then album. In a trembly off-key squawk she strains that Ben is "perfect; the manifestation of [her] dreams" and our favorite line: "a mix of passionate fidelity." Perhaps Mr. Perfect took this description too literally when he stepped out with Tara Reid and Christian Slater to a strip club for some late night antics that would make Howard Stern blush. Could it be that the person she described as "My lust, my love, my man, my child, my friend and my king " is now ... my Ex?
Lyrics to "Dear Ben" written by JLo herself!

MY LOVE DON'T COST A THING???
This $4 million purple diamond ring was sported by twenty-one year old Vanessa Bryant at the Teen Choice Awards, a teen herself not too long ago when she married the now notoriouis NBA star at 18. We're not fooled by the rocks that you got, Mrs. Kobe Bryant even if they do cost more than a week's worth of movie receipts from a certain flop starring another pathetic couple. As much as we love the bling bling, this is the sorriest diamond we've ever seen.
