Fresh trash on Thursdays! So, now that J. Lo and Marc Anthony are no more, do we care about how he's doing?
Please. Get serious. It's all J. Lo all the time on the covers of the magazines this week. Here are the stories about her whooping it up.
People: J. Lo Solo: Her birthday without Marc
Us Weekly: J.Lo Parties Post Split
Weekly Life & Style: J. Lo's revenge
And then there's OK!, the nicest of the supermarket rags if not the most reliable, They say she's going to get back together with Ben Affleck.
OK!: The plan to get Ben and J. Lo back together! Inside their private talks! All the intimate details Even J. Lo's mom is in on it!
Affleck isn't a fixture in the Only Ten Magazines That Matter, but there have been some stories about trouble in his marriage to Jennifer Garner.
Even if they are true, let me say this.
Ben. Buddy. I know we've never met and it's exceedingly unlikely you'll ever read this, but going back to J. Lo would be the worst move of your career, and I'm including Gigli and Smokin' Aces.

Fresh trash on Thursdays! Easily the biggest story of the week is the divorce of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony with mentions on seven of ten supermarket rag covers. Here are the headlines.
People: : J. Lo and Marc Anthony: Their marriage explodes The real story Their constant fighting rumors of infidelity jealousy issues what's next?
OK!: J Lo's divorce shocker! Marc's been seeing his sexy ex-wife!
In Touch: J. Lo's agony Marc's jealous rage
Star: Inside J. Lo's bitter $250 million divorce Sexless nights Other women, other men Final screaming match
Weekly Life & Style: $300 M divorce The cheating rumors that tore them apart
Us Weekly: Cheating and Lies Her side of the story Marc caught with stewardess Screaming fights about flirting with costars A secret e-mail to Ben Affleck His desperate need to control her
National Enquirer: J. Lo caught! Did this photo end their marriage?
Star has picutres of actresses, singers and models without make-up and almost all of them look not very good to downright awful. There was one "guess who?" picture of a model, but I don't play that game. The people identified are J. Lo, Teri Hatcher, Meg Ryan and Kirstie Alley.
Fresh trash on Thursdays! People has their double issue on the stands this week of Most Beautiful People, and most of the cover goes to Jennifer Lopez, with little pictures of Mila Kunis and Ryan Reynolds and the headline "95 fabulous faces".
95 is not only an odd number, it's a strange number. How hard would it have been to find five more good looking people and push the list to an even hundred?
For me, J. Lo is pretty but not super special. I am of the opinion the Ben Affleck pulled off one of the great upgrades in show business history when he got rid of her and hooked up with the taller, sexier and much lower maintenance Jennifer Garner.
