Ben Affleck & J. Lo – I Do?

The question on everyone’s minds these days is whether or not Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez will tie the knot.
But the bigger question is whether or not their love is true blue or just a major publicity stunt. On one hand there have been rumors of J.Lo sporting a hefty rock on her left hand and the possibility of a Valentine’s Day wedding. On the other, there have been rumors that the romance between the stars of two upcoming movies – Gigli and Jersey Girl – is all a ploy to drum up interest in the couple, which in turn will drum up interest in the movies.

Some insiders say that the actors recent box office attempts have not been the money makers they should have been and that they both need a box office hit. Lopez recently appeared in Enough, The Wedding Planner and Angel Eyes and none have been spectacular hits. Affleck’s recent attempts in The Sum of All Fears, Changing Lanes and Bounce have not been the smash hits he is used to. Seems the love birds could use some publicity.

Well, if publicity is what they were after, publicity is what they are getting. The "happy" couple has been seen all over town kissing and groping each other. The jury is still out on whether or not they make a believable couple. But, then again, maybe that is part of the plan…put together a couple people aren’t sure about, make the public think and put them on the big screen. Maybe it is a smart plan all the way around! Guess we will see after the movies are released. Will J. Lo will be headed down the aisle for the third time or will they suddenly go Hollywood and announce an unexpected break-up.
