AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA. I find this SO amusing.

People. com reports....

Splitsville for Ben and J.Lo

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who just days ago were planning their weekend wedding, have split up, sources close to the couple tell PEOPLE.

The break-up comes in the wake of their decision Wednesday to postpone their Sunday wedding in Montecito, Calif., before as many as 400 guests. The couple blamed the delay on excessive media attention surrounding the event, but reports persisted that Affleck was having second thoughts about the nuptials. A PEOPLE source says it was Affleck who initiated the split.

While it was unclear whether the separation was permanent, Lopez was "devastated," according to one friend. The star was in tears, sources said, on Wednesday as she called guests telling them of the wedding's postponement.

Lopez, accompanied by friends and a bodyguard, went for a very public jog and swim -- at one point changing into a bathing suit behind a phalanx of towel-bearing guards -- Saturday afternoon along Miami's South Beach, not far from her 11-bedroom house in Miami Beach, where she flew solo on Friday from Los Angeles. Affleck was believed to still be in Los Angeles, though some reports had him heading to Las Vegas for tonight's Shane Mosely-Oscar De La Hoya fight.

The split caps a tumultuous summer for the couple, whose romance became public in July 2002 just days after she divorced Cris Judd. They have endured brutal reviews for their performances in the film "Gigli," while tabloid reports have accused Affleck of misbehaving with strippers during a late-night visit to a Vancouver nightclub (reports he vehemently denied). Lopez publicly stuck by her fiancee ("for me, it wasn't an issue," she told W magazine), and plans continued apace for their wedding -- his first, her third.

Ken Sunshine, Affleck's spokesman, said he had no knowledge of a split. Lopez' spokesman Dan Klores said he believed the couple was still together, but had not spoken to Lopez in several days.

During their time together, the pair -- who met on the set of "Gigli" -- generated worldwide attention, costarring in a sexy music video for her song "Jenny from the Block" and purchasing each other extravagant gifts, including a Rolls-Royce, a Harry Winston bracelet of white and yellow diamonds and 6.1 carat pink diamond solitaire Affleck gave Lopez as an engagement ring. Nevertheless, they thought of themselves as working-class kids -- she from the Bronx, he from Boston -- who shared similar values. As a teetotaler, Lopez was also seen as healthy for Affleck, who is a recovering alcoholic.

The couple will be together again -- at least on screen. Their second costarring vehicle, "Jersey Girl," is set for release next year.

I dont know if I believe that just yet...they were just at The Ivy on September 10th and looked fine.
But if it is true, it's better for them to split now than going through another divorce in a few months :D

Does she get to keep the ring? Wasn't worth like 3 million dollars?

It really bothers me how very little value celebrities (JLO) have on marriage. If this is true and Ben initiated the split I will have more respect for him now than I have in the past year.

At least J.Lo didn't have to marry this time to know her relationship was wrong-maybe she can sniff it out, like a policedog can sniff out cocaine. Or maybe the bennifer's are smarter than we think-maybe they have an incredibly deceptive plan thought out-maybe they got married underground and these are robot replacements-just crack open J.Lo's butt and search for the control panel....

Aw. I think Im the only one who feels bad. For J.Lo, not Ben. Cant stand Ben. But who knows if this is all true.. could very well be a cover up. Wouldnt be surprised. And damn.. she better get to keep the ring!

It's now against the law to keep an engagement ring if you don't go through with the marriage - you're required to give it back or pay for it.

If it's true, then I'm happy. Ben Affleck strikes me as a good guy - he deserves so much better than J-Lo. Come on, he's never been married before - his best friend (Matt Damon) hated her, she's been divorced twice... this would only end in heartbreak. (Oh, and my roommate wants to add that SHE'S gonna marry Ben) ;)

People Magazine, Entertainment Tonight etc. must be in mourning over this announcement. LOL

I still haven't recovered from all the hype of Jennifer's wedding 2 years ago, how happy she was, only to be divorced months later.

Now, instead of predicting how long Jennifer & Ben's marriage would have lasted, we can predict who Jennifer will get engaged to next.

I am just heartbroken about this whole thing.

Okay, I'm over it.

Place your bets folks, when will J-Lo be engaged again?

I'll say summer 2004.

Since she's on the rebound, she'll probably hook up with an unknown person, someone in the music industry, maybe from a band. Yeah, a musician.

No, really, that's a conservative estimate. I'm thinking more "enaged by Christmas."

Funny, but the first thing I thought of when I heard the news was Dandy Don Meridith singing "Turn Out The Lights, The Party's Over..."
