Gwyneth Disses Ben

During the Primetime Interview, Diane Sawyer questioned Paltrow about a quote in which she has said she "had a tortured relationship with a complete knucklehead." Sawyer implied Paltrow was talking about her ex, Ben Affleck, by saying, "It makes us leap..." Paltrow replied, "Leap away." Gwyn has been quoted as saying about Ben, "He's got a lot of complication. And, you know, he really is a great guy. I hope he sorts himself out."

During the interview, Sawyer also showed a clip of the couple, who split in 1999, where Paltrow said Affleck's idea of a perfect woman would be a "stripper at Scores." Hmmm, flash forward four years and it seems a stripper or two were quite possibly the spark that ignited his break-up with superstar Jennifer Lopez. Ben and Gwyn met as Affleck's star was on the rise and she was rebounding from her split with fiancé Brad Pitt. Ben and Gwyn seemed to have the makings of the perfect Hollywood relationship when they began dating in December of 1997, but the relationship disintegrated after about a year together. Paltrow was the one to end the relationship and it seemed she broke Affleck's heart. The two remained friendly and even appeared in Shakespeare in Love and Bounce together. Also, during Paltrow's best actress acceptance speeches at both the Golden Globes and the Oscars, she made a point of thanking "my dear friend Ben Affleck."

It seems the two remained friendly until Affleck began dating Jenny from the Block. Sources close to Paltrow hinted that she thought he was dating beneath him and that he seemed to change his whole persona. Lucky for her she has reportedly found true love with Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin.
