Old News as New News

Even though they've now been apart for half a decade — during which time they both found new lovers and had children — Ben Affleck is still asked to discuss his hugely publicized, failed relationship with JLo. Lucky for his interrogators, it seems the actor and budding director suffers fools much more gladly than many other smart people do:

He says, "If I have a big regret, it was doing the ["Jenny from the Block"] video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on."

But 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."

    This is totally sophomoric, but, well, this is the comments section of a gossip blog.

    anagram of "beatnuts beat" = "a ben ate butts"

    Just sayin'.

    Why don't they just drop it??? You are right about him suffering fools graciously. No one would dare ask Russell Crowe about his affair with Meg Ryan. For that matter, no one asks J-lo how she so quickly found another "love of her life" just five months after she gave up on Ben. I guess it might have been quicker, but she had to wait for him to dump his wife first. But meanwhile, Ben has to keep answering these stupid questions.

    Russell Crowe would punch you in the face, no one is scared of Ben Affleck.

    I gotta feel for the guy, he lost a hell of a lot of credibility with that one music video.

    I still think he fantasizes about JLo when he looks at his big dumbo eared, boring wife!! Probably kicks himself often for letting that hotness get away!

    You might be right Mom. She might kick him to the curb, but if Matt Damon couldn't stay married to the guy, you can't fault Jennifer Garner. At least she got a cute kid out of it. The only thing Damon got out of it was an Oscar.
