"a Friend's Couch" reveal 2

Marc will be grovelling

TMZ posted photos yesterday purportedly of Marc Anthony with Jennifer Lopez in Long Island. As you know, she was the one who pushed forward with the break and the announcement. He was trying to hold on. And he still wants to hold on, supposedly in touch repeatedly, at times soft and pleading, at other times hostile, accusatory, and borderline abusive. Getting together for the children sounds like the perfect time to work her down, see if she’ll change her mind.

But here’s how JLo’s publicist responded when TMZ asked for comment about the sighting:

"They are NOT back together -- they were just visiting each other and the children."

I like the capitalisation of NOT. Like, not only were they setting the record straight, but they really, really, REALLY want to set the record straight. That they are NOT BACK TOGETHER. Like the mere suggestion of it is absurd. Like, as if JLo would ever. Which is in line with her publicity playbook since the split, strategically positioning herself in the most sympathetic light without going full victim.

Right now though, the way these patterns work, Marc will be at his best, his most charming, his most romantic, his most appealing. Can JLo keep saying no? Who could she reach out to to help her? Please. If only Gossip could be written like a script.

Tom Brady's hair is much better than it's been in a while. Check him out training with the Patriots yesterday. Yay that the league managed to work things out for a new season! This is for Sarah from Cinesnark whose hard-on for him had been waning. Looks a lot hotter, non?

It's all love and peaches right now at training camp for the Patriots as they're just beginning their honeymoon with Chad Ochocinco. But don't get huffy when I say that everyone not on the bandwagon is wondering how long that is going to last. Some personality problems are incurable over the long term. They say that the New England system fixes attitude. Forever? Maybe that's just my Miami Dolphin allegiance coming through. You can imagine then how choked I am now that Marc Anthony owns part of my team, all things considered, couch quarterback aside. Come on, that one was obvious, wasn't it?

If not for Miami though, I'd rather see the Patriots take the AFC East over the New York Jets. Not only because that's Jacek's team, but also because I hate Rex Ryan.

"a Friend's Couch" clue

http://www.laineygossip.com/Jennifer_Lopez_enjoys_freedom_from_Marc_Anthony_on_a_yacht_in_Miami_25jul11.aspx
JLo is free

Jennifer Lopez spent the weekend in Miami, part of it luxuriating on a yacht in a bikini, ready for the next after formally announcing her divorce from Marc Anthony. It's freedom. And relief. And, for us, it's as you've all been agreeing, very good for gossip. This is the most you've cared about her in years.

Comic-Con is a great place to catch up on gossip with sources and compare stories. And at Comic-Con everyone agreed on two things: Justin Timberlake is a twat, and Marc Anthony was not kind to his wife; bitter with insecurity and paranoia, stressed by financial anxiety, and frustrated with the fact that he didn't marry a woman who was content to be quiet and sit by his side, a trophy with a legendary ass.

Marc wanted JLo for a long time. When she finally accepted his advances, he tried to own her. And she was down with that...until she remembered that's not how she was built.

By all accounts she is happy to be without him. And while for the sake of their children they'll try to keep it civil, she also doesn't mind it if the people around her start talking. Loudly. Not just because this is the game she plays but also because she knows she's coming out of her third marriage, she's aware of the reputation, and for whatever reason she wants people to know that it's not that she didn't try, or that she was frivolous about the decisions leading up to and during and after their marriage, but because the marriage became totally unworkable for her, or anybody, regardless of celebrity. Craftily too, she wants women to be able to identify with what's she coming out of, without actually stepping up herself to name what it is.

Since January, when Idol made her relevant again, JLo's career has been on an upward trajectory. It has been boosted undoubtedly by the split, but in order to sustain that, she cannot be seen as a 40-something year old woman who was simply bored by her husband and looking for a younger celebrity boyfriend. Yes it will be super smutty and intriguing to follow what her dating situation is going to be now. But equally as smutty and intriguing will be observing the management of the Freedom of the JLo. We're seeing the beginning of the rollout now.

Ps. How can you see JLo on a boat and not think of Ben?

OMG.

I was just trying to turn the ass-touching part from Jenny From The Block into a gif stumbled across this fan video instead. Behind the scenes when they were shooting. Bennifer. Like, all over each other.

Please.

This will MAKE YOUR AFTERNOON.

"a Friend's Couch" clue

Three Weeks & a Friend’s Couch

http://www.laineygossip.com/Three_Weeks_and_a_Friends_Couch_blind_riddles_27jul11.aspx

Two separate riddles here...

1. It was instant attraction when they started rehearsals, despite the fact that he’s supposed to be happily married. On set flirtation, some touching in the trailer, soon became after work “prep time”, and heavy petting in the car, and before long it was a full blown affair. May have been a method situation for him, which would surprise no one, but for her, even though she told herself this was a big girl, mature woman thing to do – take a co-star lover – of course she fell in love, although she obediently went back to her boyfriend and tried to shake it off he cut it off after three weeks as soon as his wife came over to stay. He seems to be able to pretend like it never happened. Which, naturally, is confusing her because she thought it was so real. Of course she did. As it happened, there was a break in the schedule and they haven’t had to work together for a while, much to the studio’s relief. These are big names on a big film with big expectation and there was already enough drama last time around. But shooting with everyone resumes again in a few days, and they’ll be sending an executive to stay around through the stretch to keep a close eye. Babysitting is exactly what it is.

2. Here’s a story her side has been working hard to put out there: that one night he hurt her so badly she had to leave and because she’s so famous, and was so distraught, a hotel wasn’t an option. So she drove herself – a crazy notion in and of itself – to a friend’s, and actually slept on the couch, also hard to believe. But home was supposedly not a safe place for her that night. This is why they’re helping her make a new one.

The Lopez. Totally bounced back post-twins in fine form… so why not leave the kids with the nanny no one ??? and enjoy a night out?

Here’s JLo looking amazing Saturday night with Marc leaving Foxtail – perfect legs, perfect hair, killer dress, and finally a proper makeup artist after too many months without her usual glow. Good timing too. After all, Max and Emme are like chump change next to the Holy Jolie twins. Then again, Jennifer Lopez isn’t competitive at all.

Wonder if she was in LA last Thursday? It was the night of Victoria Beckham’s Allure party, remember? Has Jennifer Lopez broken up with the Posh? Or is it that the Posh must be the Alpha Girl in her new crew?

Kate Beckinsale and Eva Longoria are NOT Jennifer Lopez and Katie Holmes.

PS. JLo can pay her bills.

"Her Hiring Frenzy" revealed

http://www.laineygossip.com/Jennifer_Lopez_Marc_Anthony_Ben_Affleck_Jennifer_Lopez_in_Milan.aspx

Pregnant? Umm…doesn’t look like it. Especially not at the D&G show in Milan for Italian fashion week. So the question is – is she adopting, per recent tabloid reports? Now there’s a rumour that sounds more plausible, all things considered. Especially since we certainly don’t want those Anthony genes populating the planet any more than they have already.

But enough about Marc. Let’s focus instead on La Lopez and her aging gorgessity. Don’t get me wrong. The woman is still breathtaking. Always will be. But she’s looking a little drier around the eyes these days. And maybe a lot more caked, so to speak. Certainly much less fresh than she did during the Affleck era. Signs of normal maturation? Sure. That might have something to do with it. But sleeping with a bloodsucking vampire probably doesn’t help. Can you imagine? Can you imagine waking up to that every day? Can you imagine what that would do to even the most ethereal beauty???

I’m telling you, gossips. Ugly is contagious.

Clinging to love has to be Jennifer Lopez, she has sacrificed a lot to be with that little ferret-corpse!!

Dear Lucy,

It's not La Lopez. I'd say the looks in this relationship are much more evenly distributed.

"Clinging to love," it's not...

Her hiring frenzy

http://www.laineygossip.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=3336
No one has everything. Even when they seem like they do, there's always something missing. And she's no exception. While her relationship might be mismatched, to say the least, their love appears to be real. Professional success, family support, careers that cross… these two have managed to pull it together and they couldn’t be happier. Except that the thing they want the most has eluded them. The longer it takes, the more she fears that the very personal and very controversial decisions and the discards and the rejections she made while young and ambitious are coming back to haunt her. The problem is - he doesn't know. And since the people who DO know from back in the day are whispering so loudly of late, she's desperate to buy their silence. She's offering money and she's offering jobs. She's calling in favours, she's pulling strings, and she's raising eyebrows. All of a sudden, her projects are completely staffed by those who need to keep her confidence. Which means she's having to answer his questions on that front as well. Poor thing is apparently so stressed out about having to keep all these secrets that she isn't getting much sleep, made worse by the fact that she has to play happy and content all day long. With any luck though, all this will change soon. After all, it's not like they haven't been trying.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Last_Word_for_Wednesday_October_04_2006.aspx

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony do not have matching cheekbones. Wrong on many counts including skin tone much closer to the coke.

Also not Britney and Kevin. Britney hasn't worked in 2 years and the blow babe has actually been rather busy.

Finally…Jessica Alba and Cash Warren - right now, her monster bitch is the only toxin coursing through her body. Besides, she only wishes she'd be considered for the same opportunities.
