J-Lo’s ex Ben Affleck will team up once again with his buddy Matt Damon on another movie. The unconfirmed date is sometime in 2010.

Now, if you’ll remember, the last movie these two worked on together (or at least appeared in together) was 2004’s Jersey Girl. That was the awful flick that Jennifer Lopez appeared in as well. (So let’s hope whatever movie they do it’s better than that one!)

Ben Affleck is talking about that infamous Dateline Special he and Jennifer Lopez did when they were dating.

Personally, I don’t know why he just doesn’t quit talking about it, but apparently it made quite an impact. He’s happily married now, why rehash everything you did when you were with an ex?

Anyways, he tells one source that he did the special because the people that were making Gigli wanted him to do it. He said:

“At a certain point I think you have to strike a balance between what you owe people who finance your work and the degree to which you can protect the integrity of your personal life.

In that case, I erred on the side of not sufficiently protecting my own privacy. If I could do it all again I would not have done that TV special and I will not do anything like it in the future.”

That’s all fine and good. But really, why talk about it so much? If I didn’t know better I’d say he really super regrets breaking up with Jennifer Lopez.

When you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

Or at least make it easier for them.

We Ben Affleck LUVS to gamble. So much so that it caused a riff or two with our very own J-Lo.

Well Ben’s wife (the other Jennifer in his life) has decided to make it easier for him to gamble! But rather than having him out carousing at all hours, she is building a poker room in their house that’s supposed to look exactly like a high-roller suite.

Enabling? Or supportive? You decide.

Apparently Jennifer (Garner, not Lopez) has tried to get him to quit, but to no avail. So now she’s simply given up and actually thinks he’s going to spending more time at home because there’s a gambling suite in their house. Good luck with that!

I know one thing for certain. J-Lo fans loved it when Jennifer was with Ben Affleck. They were just so darn cute together! But their relationship had a life of its own. The BIG AND BLOATED BENNIFERRRRRRRRRR. (Picture Oprah saying it….)

It should come as no surprise that the “Bennifer” breakup makes yet another top ten list of awful, ugly, and disgusting celebrity splits. Sigh…. poor Ben and Jen…..

We know she’s happy now (and so is he) but we still look fondly on the Bennifer coupling.

In fact, here’s a clip I found from the two of them arriving at the Gigli premiere in the summer of 2003. Has it been five years already?

Enjoy:

The other day I showed a quick clip of Jennifer Lopez making a red beans and rice dish with fried chicken. The clip was from the interview she did along with her then boyfriend Ben Affleck for Dateline. I had so many people tell me they enjoyed seeing that interview, that I thought I’d show the whole thing on this blog.

Final Part:

It seems both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are talking a lot lately about the break up of “Bennifer.”

First, Ben has seemed to have his relationship on his mind quite a bit, and even admitted that he thought doing the video for “Jenny from the Block” was a mistake. Jennifer has been less direct about it but has recently talked of her struggle in finally meeting Mr. Right.

Ben told one source that he and Jennifer were “too accessible to the media.” He says, “I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible. I don’t think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own.”

As in, the creation of a new name (Bennifer!)?

I know both Jen and Ben are happy with other people now, but didn’t we love it when they were together? To that end, I caught a lovely video montage of the two of them. I think you’ll appreciate it.

No wonder Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got along so well. They both seem to have a passion for politics and speaking their minds. So it should be no surprise that they were both in Denver over the last few days for the Democratic National Convention.

We’ve already told you about Jennifer speaking at a reception for Marian Wright Edelman. Fox reports that Ben Affleck was also in town, doing a reading at the Starz Green Room and also making an appearance at America’s Second Harvest.

Wonder if they sat down and had a chance to rehash old times? (yeah, probably not.

Interesting article over at the Star Pulse that talks about celebrity romances and their rate of success. It shouldn’t be too surprising that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were on the list (and is probably known as one of the biggest relationship disasters of all time!)

I was surprised to learn that 80% of all Hollywood romances fail. That’s a huge number! But you know, is it any different than any other people that meet at the office? Those tend not to work so well.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that in a recent giveaway poll here at JloStalker I asked readers to say which of Jennifer Lopez’s ex’s was the hottest. It was a tough decision, because she has had some gorgeous men in her life.

Hands down, however, readers felt Ben Affleck was Jen’s hottest ex! I have to say it was a pretty great choice. (Too bad about “Bennifer” though. Perhaps in a different time Jen and Ben could have worked out…. sigh.)

We love to keep up on J-Lo’s ex’s here at JloStalker. Why not? She’s happy and has a family now so her ex’s should be, too. (Except maybe Ojani Noa.)

One of her most popular ex’s, Ben Affleck, has been fighting rumors that his marriage to Jennifer Garner is about to end. He’s said they’re just fine, and lo’ and behold he must be telling the truth. After all, Jen (Garner, not Lopez) has been spotting a big ole jelly belly these days. Either this means she’s expecting their second child, or that she’s getting fat. (And we dare not say the “F” word to someone who plays Elektra!) So we’re assuming it’s the former.

OK Magazine says she’s about three months along and that Ben and Jen are “ecstatic” at the news.

During a recent celebrity poker game, Abi Titmuss claimed that J-Lo’s ex, Ben Aflleck, was staring to beat all heck at her chest. She said, “I was wearing quite a low-cut top and he was trying his hardest to avoid eye contact with my breasts.”

Well, gosh, Abi, maybe he was just looking at the cards on the table.

Besides that, does anyone else find it interesting that she’s named Titmuss?
