What's the common denominator in all of Jennifer Lopez's romances? They all seem to play out like cliched Hollywood storylines. Whether dodging bullets in an action sequence with Diddy, or playing archetypal housewife to Ben Affleck (remember her frying up chicken cutlets for Pat O'Brien?), these telenovelas seem scripted. Husband #3, Marc Anthony, is taking it one step further, perhaps hoping to pen a happy ending for the marriage. His anniversary present to "Lola" (a.k.a. J. Lo) was a full page ad in Variety, written in screenplay form. He writes about a fairy-tale moment between the two at an awards show: "CUT TO: MARC ANTHONY, her proud husband, sitting in the audience aware of how lucky he is to be with the love of his life and sharing in this moment." (How very Chad Lowe of him.) A sweet scenario, sure, but it's also more "reel life" than real life - a reflection of the union.

1. Justin Timberlake: you'll always be our number one lovah. You've got the moves, you've got the skillz, and you had the foresight to break up with Cheeto Spears before she jumped the shark.
2: Andy Samberg: he's a shag-headed, rapping fool with a penchant for Mr. Pibb and Red Vines. Besides his delicious taste in snack foods, perhaps we dig him because his last name sounds like a yummy sandwich. And we looooooove sandwiches.
3: Santino Rice: he's a loveable and crazy crankpot with mad design skills and freaky bug eyes. Plus, he's adept at modern dance and impersonating a certain baritone-voiced fashion school director (Tim Gunn.) Santino may give SNL-er Samberg a run for his money on the stage someday.
4. & 5.: Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly: because pear shaped men with frizzy hair are simply irresistible. Plus, only these two could make NASCAR gear and protruding paunches look foxy on the red carpet.
