Remember that vacation Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony took to Portofino, Italy? They looked like they had a great time. I’ve just come across some additional pictures from that trip. Are these two in love or what?

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.

Part 1:

Part 2 (the cooking segment):

Final Part:

I’m giving away one of my all-time favorite movies on DVD to one lucky JloStalker reader.

Ever seen Must Love Dogs? It’s a very cute movie with Diane Lane and John Cusack (two of my favorite actors) and has a lovely plot and charming story line. I have a copy to give away and I know you guys will love.

Here’s a clip:

It’s like the equivalent of getting a tatoo with your lover’s name on it. Sure, you think it will last forever, but will it? Really?

In the case of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, it didn’t. And it was unfortunate enough that they starred in two ridiculous movies together (Gigli and Jersey Girl), but they had to do that video together.

(Incidentally, Kevin Smith, if you are reading this, I would like my $4 and two hours of my life back for watching Jersey Girl.)

The rotten movies were one thing, but the video for Jenny from the Block was something else. It showed Ben and Jen avoid paparazzi and smootching, which was fine, but then came that scene on the boat where Ben is rubbing oil on J-Lo’s back and stroking her lovely behind.

It’s an image none of us can get out of our minds, including, apparently, Ben Affleck. Ben says, “If I have a big regret, it was doing the music video. But that happened years ago. I’ve moved on.”

Apparently not if you’re still grousing about it. And he is grousing, IMHO. A source says “Affleck insists he isn’t blaming Lopez for his career nosedive: “It not only makes me look like a petulant fool (to blame Lopez), but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly? For the record, did she hurt my career? No.”

I would say not, Ben. Your terrible acting roles have hurt your career, although I understand how being married to another Jennifer while Jenny From the Block comes on the TV once in a blue moon can make things difficult.

It seems both Ben and Jen have learned a lot from their public relationship as they both remained fairly mum on what’s happening with their current marriages.

Learning from one’s mistakes? Priceless.
