You know, TheOwl does a really great countdown to BB. Maybe she will start a thread title, "Countdown to JLo's divorce"

Hippyt - "Ok,I have to have my say. Josh,I love ya man,but you are a broken record." It's not that I'm a broken record....it's that the social system is broken. What I had to say on this subject is both valid and informative. I'm sure there are some people that might have never considered my point of view on this until they read my post. One of the reasons gay rights is on the back burner for so many is because they aren't personally affected so they don't stop to see those issues when they arise. "However,you are using generalizations on a board where you have a lot of support." I didn't make any generalizations in my post. I merely pointed out the inequities between str8 marriage, which are both acceptable and legal simply because they are str8, while marriage between gay people is deemed unacceptable and are, in fact, illegal in 98% of the country...even the ones that obviously based more on long term commitment than some of these multiple Hollywood marriages. If you felt I have not noticed the support I have found on this board, you are mistaken. I was just venting on the issue of the legality of str8 marriages, no matter how insincere they may be...versus the illegality of gay marriages across the board, sincere or not. "And, str8 is offense,can you not type hetero,or straight?" Offensive? Seriously, are you kidding? Is "IMO", "Btw", "ROTFL", or any other internet typing shortcut offensive? I'm sorry but that's just going too far. I don't use that abbreviation as a slur, so please don't take it as such. Just sayin'.... Anyhow, I didn't mean to get OT....I just wanted to clear up the misconceptions you had about the intent of my post.

I read in our paper yesterday that people are crossing the border and coming to Windsor now, to get hitched Josh. I don't know if a Canadian marriage would be considered valid on your side of the border but gay couples are coming here now, for their nuptials.

Hippy, I have no idea why SFJF's post made you so uncomfortable, but I hope his gracious reply to your post helped. I am indebted every time he speaks up here, and I hope he's got the persistence to play that same "broken record" everywhere he goes until the need is no longer there. If you're tired of hearing it, how about helping? I'd be happy to connect you with a local organization to help work for civil rights for ALL Americans.

I think sometimes rights are just taken for granted and people forget that not ALL citizens are afforded the same, equal rights. And it has to be brought to peoples attention constantly or it will just be swept under the rug. I guess certain issues and their importance depend on where you're coming from.

ON Topic have people been paying attention to the fact that Jennifer and Marc dated in 1999, they have known each other for 6 years and he would call her his best friend before all this - plus this has not been the "publicized" romance that her others were and Marc separated from his wife in July 2002 - two years ago - they did reconcile and renewed vows in Dec 2002 but his wife then filed for divorce in JANUARY - yup, there are valid reasons to discuss the quickness in the marriage BUT i just think its important to also realize this isnt a brand new romance - there is history, and its not like Marc wasnt already having problems with the marriage and already was getting divorce - i think the ned to expedite the divorce was to get married now but its not like the divorce wasnt going through in the next year or so

I hear what you're saying Legal, but I think what most people react to when hearing this news is that J-Lo seems to have a deep-rooted need for marriage, period. When one becomes instantly engaged with every guy she is involved with, you really have to wonder if it's the guy she loves or the idea of marriage. Just imagine if we all married every person we dated. Ayeee! I thought someone on ET put it best . . . "She needs a 12-step program". Or as J'Lo said to reporters right after her 2nd marriage . . . "Let us have our moment". Because let's face it, once the moment of excitement is over, she moves on. I also can't help but think about the pr aspect of it all. The timing with his video coming out doesn't hurt either.

I wish J Lo and Mr. Anthony all the best. I sincerely hope they find happiness with one another and that they fight to make their marriage work. Congratulations to Mr. Anthony for finding a lovely bride and, to Ms. Lopez, best wishes for a lifetime of love.

Mark Anthony was singing on the Today show this am. Matt was so cute..."so, how was your weekend? anything special happen??" Mark was very cagey, but cute about it. Said it was his policy not to comment on his private life. Matt kept pushing but again in a nice way...but no confirmation.

Here's a little article about the Today Show thing: Anthony Won't Confirm Marriage to J.Lo June 8, 2004 08:58 AM EDT NEW YORK - Saying his personal life is off-limits, singer Marc Anthony refused to confirm Tuesday whether he's married to Jennifer Lopez. During an appearance on NBC's "Today" show, co-host Matt Lauer asked the Latin singer how he'd spent his weekend. "I see where you're going with this, and I'm going to preface it with just saying - y'all know I don't talk about my personal life," Anthony said. Lauer replied: "So, I - do I need to congratulate you?" "Yeah, I have two albums coming out, man. Absolutely. And I would appreciate it," the 34-year-old singer said. Anthony, who performed in Rockefeller Plaza, could be seen wearing what appeared to be a wedding band on his left hand. When Lauer continued to ask whether a wedding had taken place Saturday at Lopez's home in Beverly Hills, Calif., Anthony responded, "That would fall into the category of personal. And that's where I'm going to leave it." Lopez's representative didn't immediately return a call Monday, but told The Associated Press on Sunday that he had no comment. This would be the third marriage for the 33-year-old Lopez - the first was to waiter Ojani Noa in 1997, the second to Cris Judd in 2001. Noa lasted a little more than a year; Judd for nine months. The singer-actress also was engaged to Ben Affleck, her "Gigli" co-star, but they canceled their plans in September 2003 amid a huge media frenzy and broke up in January. Anthony divorced former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres last week in the Dominican Republic. They married in 2000 and have two young sons; Anthony also has a daughter from a previous relationship. His new album, "Amar Sin Mentiras," means "To Love Without Lies" in Spanish. LINK

I would be upset if I were J-Lo. He sure doesn't seem very proud of the fact that they're married. I understand the privacy thing to a point, but this is a big deal and he should be excited and happy to share his news.

When I got married, I told perfect strangers how happy I was. I couldn't hide it. Then again, the media wasn't busting down my door waiting for me to give them one inch of info to turn into a mile of questioning

I am just guessing that Marc and J-Lo discussed his answer before he appeared on the show. Cant blame her for not wanting to answer any questions, considering that she has been a laughing stock for so long. it also wasnt all that long ago that Marc Anthony did that spread with his beautiful wife in people magazine. Low key is definitely the way I would want to go if I was them.

You can't blame him for being a bit circumspect! Don't forget he's known her for a good while already lol. He might be doing it for the attention. Because just between you and me, I have never heard of this guy before, and I probably never would have if it were not for this marriage.

Hell, I remember when Marc Anthony married Liz Taylor. She was wearing so much eyeliner, she looked like a young Barbra Streisand.

On the View today, he said yes when he was asked if they were married. But was very guarded with what he said and wanted everyone to know that his private life was just that, private. I can respect that and hope they are happy. But of course the pregnant rumors are starting up now.

Funny Tish. Well, when Jen's career is really in the dumpster, she can always hook up with that great arbiter and reviver of flagging careers...David Gest. Look what he did for Liza with a Z!

And is it with sextuplets? Because otherwise he doesn't stand a chance of getting the cover shot with Gwyneth and Julia in the baby-making sweepstakes.

I've always liked Marc Anthony. He and Jennifer seem to have a lot in common, too. I wish them luck.

It's just days since the wedding has been announced and already the world has cast doubt over whether the marriage will last. Bookies are offering odds that she will be divorced within a year. William Hill reckons she might equal Elizabeth Taylor's number of weddings - eight. Incidentally, Jennifer O'Neill has been married 9 times (8 different men). So, she's one up on Liz. Women: Zsa Zsa is the queen at 9 times There's also Joan Collins - 5 times. Men: Mickey Rooney - 8 times Jerry Lee Lewis - 6 times Billy Bob Thornton has been married - 5 times. James Brown - 4 times Robert Evans - 5 times (from the Newsgroups)

I know it's part of public life and all that, but I feel sorry for her. No matter what, no matter how many times she gets married, having the whole world laughing at you and placing odds on you- it's gotta hurt. I don't blame her for trying to keep it private. I don't know what the deal is with her, or with the men she chooses, or if it's the whole career/diva thing or whatever. I guess I don't even know who's usually doing the breaking up- is it the husbands that dump her or the other way around? They were giving her ex-husbands reactions to the wedding- Ben just gave two thumbs up and got into his car, the other guy (?) wished them luck and P.Diddy said she'd always be his girl and good luck to her. Apparently Marc Anthony's wife...errr..ex-wife wsn't quite as supportive and they couldnt use the words she did on the air.
