J.Lo + M.An

Jennifer Lopez and her big butt have married Marc Anthony – no, not the Roman general, the Latin singer:

Jennifer Lopez reportedly married Marc Anthony in a small ceremony at her home, less than six months after she ended her high-profile engagement to Ben Affleck.

For Lopez, 34, the marriage would mark her third – the first was to waiter Ojani Noa in 1997, the second to dancer Cris Judd in 2001. Noa lasted a little more than a year; Judd for nine months.

Anthony, the Latin singing sensation, just divorced former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres last week in the Dominican Republic. The pair, wed in 2000, have two young sons, and he has a daughter from a previous relationship.

Lopez – the singer-actress-fashonista more famously known as J.Lo – has kept her romance with Anthony, 34, decidedly more low-key than her engagement to Ben Affleck, which was a magnet for tabloid attention. The 18-month “Bennifer” romance featured a near-wedding, but it was scuttled at the last minute with the couple blaming excessive media attention.

Lopez also famously dated Sean “P. Diddy” Combs – back when he was still “Puffy” – for two years before the couple broke up in February 2001.

It was unclear when Anthony and Lopez were engaged. The two first dated in 1999 and had been seen together since Lopez’s split from Affleck. Lopez had reportedly been wearing a dazzling new diamond engagement ring for several weeks.

White tents and an altar were set up outside Lopez’s house on Saturday, with folding chairs on both sides of an aisle, Us reported. The two were married shortly after 6 p.m. before about 40 guests, Us reported. Lopez reportedly wore Neil Lane jewelry and a dress with a veil. Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe, arrived at the event in a limousine with Anthony, “Entertainment Tonight” reported.

….Anthony, a salsa superstar who has also had crossover success, is releasing a Spanish album, “Amar Sin Mentiras,” on Tuesday. He has also dabbled in acting, and appeared in the recent Denzel Washington film “Man on Fire.” [AP]

That Latin crooning thing must work wonders with the senoritas: Anthony is, frankly, kind of skinny and ugly and here he is dumping Miss Universe for Jennifer Lopez, who isn’t really my cup of tea but who isn’t horsemeat either.

UPDATE
Odds are not good:

British bookmakers offered odds of 3-1 Monday that singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and her new husband Marc Anthony would divorce by the end of the year.

….Ladbrokes is also offering 10 to one odds that “J-Lo marries more than eight times in her life, beating Elizabeth Taylor (news),” a spokesman said.

Those who never quite accepted that Lopez and Affleck had split for good after one of Hollywood’s most tumultuous romances also have a chance to bet.

I wonder how I would feel if the bookmakers of the world thought I was such a flighty bitch.

ANOTHER UPDATE
P. Diddy Daddy Comby Womby speaks:

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, the self-proclaimed “bad boy for life,” says Jennifer Lopez is his “girl for life,” even after her surprise weekend wedding to Marc Anthony.

The hip-hop mogul, who had a high-profile, two-year relationship with Lopez, said he’s glad his ex has found love with someone new, but added that she’ll always be important to him.

….”If she’s in love with somebody and that makes her happy, I’m happy for her,” Combs tells “Access Hollywood” in an interview airing Monday night. “That’s my girl for life.” [AP]

Whew, whatever would she have done had Poofy disapproved??
