The Only One Worth Posing For

Pairing: Matthew Gray Gubler x Female!Reader

Word Count: ~1.1k

Warnings: fluff

Summary: You're a famous photographer so you often get invited to red carpet events. Your best friend is an actor, and you've taken tons of pictures of him. The only problem is that he only poses for your camera.

Square Filled: “yeah, you’re cold. I’m giving you my jacket” for @spencerreidbingo

Author’s Note: any and all comments are appreciated <3

Camera? Check. Extra lenses? Check. Press pass? Check. Supply bag? Check. Gorgeous pink dress you got just for this event? Check. You check the time on your phone to make sure you’re not running late, which you’re not. Your best friend should already be at the movie premier for his new movie, and you’re one of the photographers on the red carpet.

You’re a famous photographer that takes pictures of celebrities for events like movie premiers, the Met Gala, award shows, etc. Your career started in high school when you took almost all of the pictures for the yearbooks. Then, you took pictures of your friend’s graduation pictures and got paid less than one hundred dollars for it. Once in college, you took a lot of photography classes that allowed you to hone your skills and become better.

Someone saw your pictures on your college website and loved them so they got in contact with you, and that’s how you got your first job at a magazine. It took about a decade to get to where you are now and you couldn’t be happier. Along the way, you’ve met and hung out with a ton of celebrities including your best friend. You two met back when you were the photographer for the magazine, and you’ve been inseparable ever since.

Speaking of the devil, he texts you just as you are leaving the apartment.

Are you on your way?

just leaving now! be there soon xx

I can’t wait to see you :)

The message brings a smile to your face. He never fails to lift your spirits no matter how you’re feeling. He sent for a car to take you to the movie premier instead of you taking your own. When you get there, the place is packed with press, fans, and cars carrying celebrities.

“Thank you,” you smile at the driver and get out.

You head to the booth to check in and present your press pass to her. She confirms you’re on the list before letting you inside the area where the press is located. You set your bag on the ground and take out your favorite lens to use in times like these, the kind of lens that allows you to zoom in clearly even from where you are. The more popular you got, the more expensive equipment you bought.

You got here at the right time because celebrities show up not long after you get set up. Much like everyone here, you call their names in hopes they pose for your camera. You get a lot of good shots of very iconic celebrities like Johnny Depp, Jennifer Lopez, Morgan Freeman, Julia Roberts, and Sandra Bullock. The movie did so much press to make sure it is the most popular movie which is why so many celebrities are here.

You look to the left and see your best friend walk down the red carpet with a huge smile on his face. Matthew Gray Gubler. A man of many tricks. A man who never fails to make you smile. He looks past every person who calls out his name until he finds your camera. His eyes light up and begins posing for your camera and your camera only.

“Matthew! Look over here!” one of them says but he ignores them,

‘Stop it’, you mouth to him and his smile only gets bigger. What did you expect? He always does this whenever you’re in the crowd with a camera. He only cares about you and your career. If you can get good pictures of him, then you can sell them for a lot of money. People around you are frustrated with you and him but you don’t care about them.

Matthew leaves the red carpet and joins the group of celebrities who are hanging outside before they can go inside the theater. There are only a few more celebrities to capture, then you’re packing up your things. Apart from being part of the press, Matthew invited you as his plus one.

“Are you serious with Matthew?” one of the other photographers says.

“Sorry. Maybe next time,” you shrug.

You bring your case back to the town car that is still waiting for you, and you toss your press pass into the backseat. There is no reason for you to have two outfits when you can wear your red carpet outside as one of the press. You walk back over to the same booth and check in as a guest. She gives you your guest pass and you make your way into the area where all the celebrities are.

“I’m gonna slap that motherfucker when I see him,” you joke to yourself.

“Y/N! It’s so good to see you!” Shemar Moore smiles when he sees you.

“Shemar! I thought you were still filming S.W.A.T.,” you grin and hug him.

“I couldn’t miss this premier.”

“Where is Matthew?”

“Last I saw him was by the entrance to the theater.”

“Great. I’ll see you inside.” You leave his side and go find your best friend. He’s talking to one of the younger and newer kid stars, and you slink up to his side. “Excuse me. Mind if I borrow him for a second?”

“Sure. Congratulations.”

“Thanks.”

You pull him to the side and away from everyone for some semi-privacy.

“What the hell was that back there?”

“What?” he laughs.

“You can’t keep posing for my camera only.”

“You tell me this every time, and what do I keep telling you?”

“Mine is the only one worth posing for.”

“See? It’s law at this point.”

He leans in and kisses you quickly. You two have been testing the waters for a romantic relationship for the last couple of weeks. It’s been going well because you’re taking it at your own speed without the public knowing.

“You’re gonna piss off the other photographers.”

“I don’t care.”

He pulls you in and kisses you much deeper this time. You only allow two minutes to yourselves before you pull away from him. Goosebumps litter your arms and you shiver slightly under his gaze.

“You’re shivering. Are you cold?”

“That’s not why I’m shivering,” you say and shiver again.

“Yeah, you’re cold. I’m giving you my jacket.”

He sheds his jacket and slings it over your shoulder to provide you with warmth. He slides his hand into yours and pulls you toward the entrance to the theater.

“Let’s go watch this movie. Afterward, you’re gonna let me take you home.”

“We live together,” you giggle.

“Even better.”

“You’re a dork.”

“Only for you,” he winks and kisses your cheek.

"Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth." (Alan Watt) I pronounce it Tyoosday. I’m usually the first to text. I haven’t worn underwear since the tenth grade. I like to make situations awkward when given the opportunity. I always say hi to dogs and moo at cows. I’m a courtesy flusher, wicked awesome steering wheel guitarist, and I open chip bags with my teeth. I believe in chivalry, ghosts, manners, manifestation and using my turn signal. I’m a girl drink drunk. I have zero energy for liars. Sleestaks, Ogopogo, Witchy Poo, Linda Blair, and boiled brussels sprouts terrified me as a child. I think vulnerability, a woman’s confidence, and conversations that last for hours are incredibly sexy. I have 7 scars, some are visible. When I laugh hard, it turns into a wheeze and the back of my head throbs. I am vulgar. Like a lot. I wasn’t a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey; preferred Topping From Below. On the rare occasion, I actually finish a book I’ve started reading. I have never eaten at Olive Garden. The first album I bought with my own money was KISS Alive II. I’m stupid stubborn. I’ve been to eleven weddings and half as many funerals. I don’t buy birthday cards or Christmas cards, I make them. I’m secretly still a LEGO maniac and will always be a neighbor of Mister Rogers. Chances are, I’m up before you every single morning. I don’t like cilantro or olives. I’ve been a teacher longer than I haven’t. Nine is my favourite number. Over the years, I’ve been thelandlockedmariner, withouthaste, and various shades of asshole. Like Anthony, I’m a cheap, nasty, low-down, trailer park, burger slut. I have never traveled in Europe. Hopeless Romantic/Filthy Mind. My reputation has been tarnished over the years, but I’m proud of who I am. I still can’t tell the difference between a sweet potato and a yam. I’ve bumbled my way through speeches to a four grad classes and a thousand or so unimpressed family members. I met Dave Grohl and Jennifer Lopez in the same day. I had my first tattoo at 19 and its now covered over. I am private and yet a completely open book. I lost my virginity to the song Rocketman. I broke the same collarbone twice. I say fuck too much. Like a fucking lot. I prefer not to make reservations. I am ferociously loyal to a fault. Creativity is my catharsis. Most days, I exist in two places. I have three equally spaced moles on each side of my belly button. I use voice to text when I can’t remember how to spell a word. I overthink far too often. I have a very unhealthy frame addiction. I’d rather show up in person than online shop. And after nearly half a century, I finally found my home… and her name is Jaime.

PROPAGANDA

AZULA (AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER) (CW: Child Abuse, Ableism)

1.) Azula was totally screwed over by the writers of both the show, and its post-canon comics. When this fourteen year old abuse victim isn't being portrayed as weirdly adult, she's having her charecter massacred to make her precious older brother seem like a good guy for shoving her in an asylum. My girl deserved better than to be an extremely negative portrayal of mental illness who only exists to be a prop bad guy.

2.) I think everyone else has said it better than I can, but I'll add that in the comics she's shown to be heavily suffering from trauma and mental illness and she's treated like she's crazy and evil for having those issues, when her male relatives are supported

3.) Everyone hates for doing pretty much the same stuff zuko was doing pre-redemption (also the way people talk about her is so ableist)

JENNIFER LOPEZ (JOHN DIES AT THE END)

1.) She's not real life Jennifer Lopez, she just shares the name so the author has an excuse to introduce her by just talking about how hot she is.

She's always crying, always the damsel in distress. This is sort of a zombie book, so when someone the group knows gets infected everyone refuses to kill him. So she picks up a shotgun and I was like "hell yes, this is her moment, finally some characterization" but she just hands the shotgun to the main character with a pouty look on her face like "you do it please."

The main character is always talking about her tits, how hot she is, and how annoying she is. She gets no characterization besides constantly needing to be helped. The main character wants to fuck her so bad despite them only interacting in high school when she bullied him and that is framed as completely reasonable.

This is a book, and in the movie adaptation she's combined with the only other girl(who is supposed to be a child). So there's only one woman in the whole movie! And she's a combo of a small girl whose mentally disabled and an adult woman who every man is horny for!

Bennifer | Act 1

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez launched a romance that took the world by storm in 2002. Both established and uber famous on their own, their unexpected coupling excited both celebrity gossipers and media outlets alike. Their flame burned so bright and had such long-lasting effects on pop culture, it's hard to believe that they were over just 18 months after they went public.

More than 17 years after their breakup - a Hollywood heartbreak complete with the dramatic cancellation of their wedding four days before the ceremony - the couple branded "Bennifer" somehow found their way back to each other and finally made it down the aisle.

2001

May 2001

Ben's role in the film “Gigli” is announced.

August 2001

Halle Berry is reported to be in talks to star opposite Ben in "Gigli."

On August 3, 2001, Ben enters rehab for alcohol addiction.

Actor Ben Affleck, the 28-year-old leading man and Oscar-winning screenwriter, has voluntarily entered a treatment center to undergo alcohol treatment. "Ben is a self-aware and smart man who has decided that a fuller life awaits him without alcohol," said David Pollick, his publicist, in a statement. "He has chosen to seek out professional assistance and is committed to traveling a healthier road with the support of his family, friends and fans," Pollick said. The Pearl Harbor star has checked into Promises, the same live-in rehab center where fellow actor Robert Downey Jr. and comedian Paula Poundstone are undergoing treatment. (Source)

September 29, 2001

Jennifer marries dancer Cris Judd, who she met on the set of her “Love Don't Cost a Thing” music video.

October 31, 2001

Jennifer's role in "Gigli" opposite Ben is announced after Halle Berry had schedule conflicts and had to back out of the film. She will get paid $12 million.

December 2001

Production begins on “Gigli” on December 17, 2001, and Ben and Jennifer meet for the first time. Photos are taken of them on set on December 18, 2001.

2002

Ben will later say that he and Jennifer were strictly friends while they filmed the movie in early 2002.

"When I met her we became really, really, really good friends," Affleck explains. "But at first, because she was married, there was no thought of a romantic relationship, so that created the opportunity to get to know each other without any of the falseness that goes with courtship because you're trying to make a good impression. I didn't try to change anything about myself, and she didn't either. We became really good friends in a way that was very comfortable." Not that he was unaware of his growing attraction to his co-star... "I believe that more or less from the beginning of a relationship you have an accurate sense of how far it could go, what the possibilities are," Affleck says. "With Jen, I thought, Even though it can never happen, it was nice for me to know I was capable of feeling that way—that I could love somebody in a way where what I really wanted was for them to be happy, even more than I wanted what I wanted. That was a new experience for me." (Source)

February 2002

Jennifer and Cris attend a Grammys after-party on February 27.

March 2002

In March, Ben begins filming the movie "Daredevil" opposite another Jennifer - Jennifer Garner.

Ben, who will marry Jennifer Garner in 2005, is quoted in 2013 saying that the two of them fell in love on the set of "Daredevil."

“That’s where I found my wife,” he said. “We met on Pearl Harbor, which people hate, but we fell in love on Daredevil.”

Is it revisionist's history? Perhaps. Because as they are filming "Daredevil," he will go full throttle into a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, and it's hard to believe he's busy falling in love with anyone else at this time. In addition, Jennifer Garner was still married to Scott Foley when they made "Daredevil."

After Jennifer Lopez is named ShoWest's Female Star of the Year, it is also in March 2002 that Ben takes out ads in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter praising her effusively. This move apparently "bemuses Hollywood," according to The Evening Standard:

It must be galling for an A-list Hollywood actor to see his latest co-star and New Best Friend universally mocked as a spoilt diva. After all, since they began filming the thriller Gigli late last year, Ben Affleck has become rather close to his leading lady, Jennifer Lopez, walking arm in arm on set with her while he whispered into her ear, as paparazzi photographs revealed in January. So it was only natural that Affleck would want to tell the world how wrong we have all been about Ms. Lopez’s egomaniacal excesses. As he disclosed on American television this week, he, too, is ashamed to have had his initial suspicions about her. “I know I shouldn’t have had those preconceptions,” he confessed, “but I now realize how wrong I was.” Still, he knew how to make amends. As he explained, “I thought I’d write a paragraph saying what a professional, decent person I think she is.” He then spent about $20,000 plastering that paragraph all over the movie trade papers Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. In huge display advertisements headlined, simply, “Jennifer,” Affleck wrote “with love, respect and gratitude,” how proud he was that Lopez had picked up a recent award and what a “wonderful example” she had been to him. “You have shown kindness, dedication, diligence, humility, graciousness of spirit, beauty in courage, great empathy, astonishing talent, real poise ad true grace,” he gushed. “You are every inch the consummate professional. It has been nothing but an honor and a pleasure to work with you. I only wish I were lucky enough to be in all your movies.”

Jennifer and Cris attend the ShoWest awards on March 7, 2002, where she receives her award. She also takes her husband to the Oscars on March 24, 2002.

April 2002

On April 12, 2002, Cris accompanies Jennifer to the grand opening of her restaurant, Madre’s. Ben is also in attendance at the opening and is seen in this photo with Jennifer and Nicole Kidman.

Four days later, Cris sticks close by on the set of Jennifer filming her new music video, “I’m Gonna Be Alright.”

May 2002

On May 22, Cris is spotted outside the studio as Jennifer films an appearance with David Letterman.

As she has been filming the movie "The Chambermaid" (later released as "Maid in Manhattan") in New York, Cris has been "an occasional visitor."

[T]he pair were spotted there together as recently as May 30. "She was standing with Cris," says an observer. "He had his hand around her waist. He was reaching under her arm to tickle her side." He has also popped in at her four-bedroom Greenwich Village pad in recent weeks. "I've seen Cris here a lot," says one resident. "He's really nice." (Source)

June 2002

Jennifer and Cris announce their split on June 7, 2002, and a report from CNN states that they had actually separated the month before, in May.

Partying with a group of 20 pals on June 6, Jennifer Lopez and her husband of nine months, Cris Judd, acted like most couples still enjoying their first year of marriage. "They looked very close," says a guest at the dinner party, which was held at Manhattan's swank eatery Thom. "They were very warm and affectionate. Nobody sensed anything was wrong." Give those newlyweds a pair of Oscars: The following day news broke that Lopez and Judd, both 32, had privately and amicably called it quits one month earlier. Even Judd's father, Larry, 58, a Niceville, Florida, restaurateur, seemed bushwhacked when asked about the news. "I won't believe it until I hear it from Cris," he said. "I've seen no indication of any sort of problems." For his part, friends say that Judd is taking the breakup hard. "He wanted this to work," says a pal. "I'm sure he thought it would last. Marriage is a very sacred thing to him. He didn't take it lightly or he wouldn't have done it." Accordingly, pals dismiss reports of a romantic link to Ben Affleck, her costar in the upcoming film "Gigli." The actor raised eyebrows in March when he placed an ad in Variety extolling Lopez's "graciousness of spirit, beauty and courage, great empathy, astonishing talent, real poise and true grace." But, says a Lopez source, "they did a movie together. They're not dating."

Ben claims that nothing happened between him and Jennifer until he found out her marriage was ending.

"It changed when she told me she was getting separated," Affleck said. "At that point, it became a possibility; doors were opened." (Source)

July 2002

Early in the month, Jen and Ben are spotted shopping together at a deli in New York City, close to where Ben’s brother Casey owns an apartment, according to the New York Daily News on July 7, 2002.

On July 22, 2002, Jen and Ben are seen out again, according to Us Weekly, at the Nobu restaurant in New York.

One fellow diner says, “They were kissing and very touchy-feely. They seemed proud to be with each other.” (Us Weekly)

On July 24, 2002, Ben is with Jennifer to celebrate her birthday, and they are now clearly, openly a couple.

Jennifer Lopez and new flame Ben Affleck kissed, cuddled and made goo-goo eyes at each other for hours yesterday as the Latina lovely was feted at a surprise birthday party. J.Lo, who turned 33, was ushered by a grinning Affleck into the posh Park eatery on West 17th Street in mid-afternoon, supposedly for a quiet lunch. But once inside, the flustered star was greeted by thunderous applause from her family and friends. Next, she introduced the new love of her life to mom Lupe, dad David, sisters, grandmother and nieces at the gala gathering of 25 revelers. Wearing a fetching blue silk dress, J.Lo sat close to Affleck and could be seen affectionately canoodling and whispering with the star of the hit “The Sum of All Fears.” Affleck gave his honey a Harry Winston bracelet of yellow and white diamonds. (New York Post)

On July 25, 2002, Jennifer officially files for divorce from Cris.

August 2002

Bennifer mania begins with both Us Weekly and People Magazine debuting covers featuring the new couple. According to the New York Post, People pays $75,000 for nine photos of J.Lo and Ben Affleck riding in a Bentley convertible.

People magazine and US Weekly have dueling Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez stories on their covers this week. Both are reporting, according to anonymous “pals” and “close sources,” that the two are an item. People’s Aug. 12 issue quotes sources who say the singer-actress began introducing Affleck to friends as her boyfriend three days before she and her second husband, Cris Judd, filed for divorce last month. She and Judd had been married for 10 months. Us boasts in its Aug. 12 issue that it has exclusive photos of the couple, and quotes friends who say they aren’t hiding their relationship. Affleck, 29, and Lopez, 32, got to know each other last winter on the set of the movie, Gigli, scheduled to come out next year. (Associated Press)

September 2002

Cris Judd’s father angrily claims that Bennifer had an affair while she was still married to his son.

The father of Jennifer Lopez's former husband Cris Judd has slammed the superstar singer, saying her cheating broke his son's heart. Larry Judd said: "Overnight Jennifer cast my son aside and turned her back on her marriage vows." Judd also claimed Lopez, 32, started an affair with Ben Affleck while they were filming Gigli in January - five months after her wedding. And he revealed that Cris, 33, received very little in the divorce settlement. He said: "Although it's been widely speculated that Cris will get between $9 million and $15 million when the divorce becomes final in January, nothing could be further from the truth." Judd, who is retired from the Air Force, told the National Enquirer: "Against my best advice Cris has turned his back on the millions that could have been his under California law. "As far as I know my son walked away from the marriage with only his clothes, his dog and his car." (Source)

This is a claim that Ben and Jen will both deny in the coming months:

J. Lo says she didn’t sleep with Ben until after she’d separated from Judd later that spring. In fact, she tells Reader’s Digest, she and Judd were already having problems by the time she met Affleck on the set of ”Gigli” (opening July 30). However, she says, ”to talk about that with another man wouldn’t have been cool.” If Affleck was attracted to her then, he kept it to himself, she says. ”I’m a very faithful person. If somebody had told me, ‘Ben’s attracted to you’, I would have said, ‘No, I wasn’t raised that way.’” (Source)

Although Judd's father has claimed that Ben and Jennifer got involved while she was still with Cris, Affleck says firmly, "That is absolutely not true. It goes against the fundamental code I believe in and live by: being honest, doing things with which I can live, rather than be ashamed of—doing estimable things. Deliberately and consciously trying to live like that made me happier. Because I feel very comfortable and good about where I am and the choices I'm making, the very idea of hiding or misrepresenting anything I'm doing makes me really uncomfortable. And that's not something that's in Jennifer's character, either. Both of us wanted to err on the side of doing the right thing." (Source)

October 2002

Ben and Jen film the famous scenes for her "Jenny From the Block" video that portray their relationship is being invaded by the media.

youtube

November 2002

The "Jenny from the Block" music video premieres on November 5. The next day, word spreads that Jen and Ben are engaged and she is going to confirm the news in an interview with Diane Sawyer.

It's official! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged to be married. Though reps for the Hollywood couple would not confirm the news, a source close to the pair has confirmed to ET that they do plan to marry. While wearing the pink diamond ring that Ben gave her, J.Lo dropped plenty of hints on Tuesday's "TRL" on MTV, saying, "I think everybody will know soon enough." The couple reportedly struck up a solid friendship back in December while working together in L.A. on the film 'Gigli.' Jen and Ben then went public as a pair on July 22, according to Us magazine, when the power couple took a center table at New York's trendy, see-and-be-seen sushi restaurant Nobu. On Tuesday's "Total Request Live" with Carson Daly, a glowing Jennifer came out to present her brand-new video, "Jenny From the Block," which features her and Ben engaging in some steamy on-screen action: kissing in a pool, laying out on a yacht, and cozying up on a couch. She also revealed that there's a song on her upcoming CD called "Dear Ben." The exciting news also comes on the heels of rumors that Jennifer would discuss her engagement to ABC's Diane Sawyer on an upcoming "Primetime" special. When contacted by ET, Jennifer's representatives had no comment. "Primetime Thursday" would only confirm an interview with the star to air next Wednesday.

She does in fact confirm the engagement with Diane Sawyer and tells her about the proposal in the Primetime interview.

youtube

Jen says that Ben proposed to her at his mother’s house in Boston. “It’s just a blanket, a quilt of rose petals, all over the whole entire house... So many candles, and vases, bouquets. And my song ‘Glad’ was playing … I walk in and I was just, like, overwhelmed. I wasn’t expecting it, and I was just like, ‘Oh my God.’”

The 6-carat pink diamond that Ben gives her becomes rather legendary:

Fresh off the news of their engagement, Ben and Jen are seen out filming scenes for their second movie together, "Jersey Girl," in New York City.

On November 20, 2002, Ben is named People's Sexiest Man Alive in its new issue. Quoted in the article is his "Daredevil" co-star Jennifer Garner, who says:

"We all swooned. He's your basic tall, dark and handsome. He's it. You want him to save you. I can't imagine anyone the world would rather swoop in and save the day than Ben."

February 2003

Jennifer attends the "Daredevil" premiere with Ben. Ben's co-star Jennifer Garner is accompanied to the premiere by her husband, Scott Foley - who she will separate from a month later.

March 2003

Ben and Jen attend the Oscars. A popular media narrative during their relationship will be to comment on how much more fashionable Ben dresses now that he is with J.Lo.

July 2003

Ahead of the premiere of "Gigli," Ben and Jen agree to do a joint interview with Dateline that gives insight into their relationship and life at home together. The interview special airs on July 17, 2003.

The couple attends the "Gigli" premiere in L.A. on July 27, 2003. The movie is immediately panned, becoming a critical and commercial flop, and a national joke.

Martin Brest’s 2003 romantic crime comedy “Gigli” remains one of the most costly box-office flops of all time, netting just $7 million off a production budget of $75 million. (Source)

August 2003

To add insult to injury, on the heels of the catastrophic "Gigli" release, the National Enquirer comes out with a bombshell story claiming that on July 17 - the same night the intimate Dateline interview of Ben and Jen had aired - Ben allegedly visited a strip club in Vancouver where he was filming the movie, "Paycheck."

The National Enquirer published an exclusive report alleging that on July 17—the very night the Dateline interview aired—Affleck visited Brandi’s Exotic Nightclub in Vancouver and had sex with two of the women working there. His reps immediately denied the more salacious aspects of the story, and another woman working at the club came forward to say that Affleck “never touched” any of the strippers, and that he was “drinking water” throughout the night. (The actor had recently completed a rehab stay in 2001.) According to the Enquirer, Tara Reid, Christian Slater, and Slater’s then-wife Ryan Haddon were at the club with Affleck, and the group ended the night at Slater’s house. “Ben did not cheat,” Haddon told Us Weekly after the Enquirer broke the story. “He did not have sex with anyone. Ben was listening to music, hanging out, talking to people, that’s it.” Affleck’s publicist threatened to sue the Enquirer, and one of the women named in the story ultimately did. But that did not stop the speculation that Lopez was going to call off the wedding over the incident. (Source)

After the National Enquirer story comes out, Jen reportedly goes out dancing with her friends sans wedding ring, causing intense speculation that their relationship is over.

Britain’s Sky News is going so far as to report that Lopez, 34, is telling friends that the relationship has finished. Meanwhile, Tuesday’s New York Post said that last weekend, the bride-to-be — purportedly upset about Affleck’s antics in the Northwest Canadian city (his visit appears on the front page of this week’s National Enquirer) — flew to L.A. and went dancing with friends. The engagement ring was not on her finger, says the paper. Affleck, 33, meanwhile reportedly remained in Vancouver, wrapping his movie, “Paycheck.” Lopez’s spokesperson tells USA Today that J.Lo was aware in advance that Ben was heading to a strip club and that it was fine with her. The rep also said the couple’s wedding (whose date has never been revealed, despite the best efforts of “Dateline” to find out) is still on. (Source)

Despite the stories alleging Ben's infidelity and the media frenzy, the duo are not done yet, and won't be for several months. On August 16, 2003, they are sighted out together in Los Angeles. Jennifer puts on a big smile for the camera.

September 2003

The month of their planned wedding finally arrives. It is remarkable how badly things have spiraled in the past month - the tabloid stories combined with the epic failure of the project that brought them together in the first place.

Their nuptials are set for September 14, and as attention on them grows, they apparently begin to break. People magazine will state that details had begun trickling out about the wedding over the prior month:

Despite attempts to keep things quiet, details about the pair’s nuptials have been leaking out for weeks. First came whispers that Vera Wang was designing Lopez’s dress, followed by word that Casey Affleck would serve as his brother’s best man, and that Santa Barbara would play host to the ceremony — with guests being shuttled to the secret site from Los Angeles. The latest issue of PEOPLE reports that guests were to stay at the posh Bacara Resort, and that Lopez planned to stay at Montecito’s San Ysidro Ranch prior to the wedding. And on Wednesday, the mother of another Santa Barbara bride even ratted out Ben and J.Lo, telling ABCNews.com that her daughter is tying the knot at the same location. (She claimed it was the Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel.)

September 10, 2003

On Wednesday, Sept. 10, Ben and Jen announce that their wedding, set for Sunday, Sept. 14, has been postponed due to intense media scrutiny. They release a joint statement:

Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date. When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate ‘decoy brides’ at three different locations, we realized that something was awry. We began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be compromised. We felt what should have been a joyful and sacred day could be spoiled for us, our families, and our friends.

Unnamed sources speculate cold feet, with alleged connections on both sides giving reasons for why either Ben or Jennifer would want to call it off. People magazine will claim that it was Ben's call:

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 on Wednesday, sources said, as she called guests telling them of the wedding’s postponement.

The night that they release their statement, they step out at The Ivy in L.A., presumably to show they are still together.

On September 13, People Magazine reports that the couple has in fact split up, but that a reconciliation would surprise no one. Jennifer flies off by herself to Miami where she is seen swimming and out with friends, while Ben remains in L.A.

In a People magazine print article immediately following the debacle, a Lopez source says the couple has a lot to talk about:

“They’re going to sit down and talk,” says a Lopez pal. “They’ve spoken on the phone, but it’s different in person. They need to do it away from the glare of New York and Los Angeles.” And even as the mid-Atlantic coast braced for the arrival of Hurricane Isabel, a different sort of tempest seemed to be brewing. “Only the two of them know how it might turn out,” says her pal. “Either way, she’s one to confront her problems. I’m sure they’re going to scream, cry and laugh and maybe figure this out.” “I don’t think Jennifer and Ben have actually sat down and said the words, ‘It’s over,’ ” says a source close to Lopez. Even Affleck’s dad, Tim, 60, was puzzled by the sudden turn of events: “I couldn’t possibly tell you one way or the other what’s going through Jennifer’s mind or Ben’s mind.” What, indeed, was going through their minds as they prepared to tie the knot before 200 guests in Santa Barbara, Calif.? “As the [wedding] date got closer, reality set in,” says a friend of the 31-year-old actor, “that this may not be the person Ben wants to spend the rest of his life with.” A confidant of Lopez’s pins the blame on “a helluva lotta stress,” adding that those close to Affleck—including his mom, Chris, 60—were raising questions about whether the marriage was a good idea. “He started getting scared,” says the source. Nonetheless, after the postponement, this friend says, “he called her every couple of hours, asking her to come back.” For her part, Lopez, 34, “loves [Ben] deeply,” says a friend. And she is hardly prepared to give up. Says a source close to the situation: “She still thinks there’s a chance.”

Less than two weeks after postponing their wedding, on September 22, the pair apparently are reconciled and mulling over the possibility of eloping. A report by People will later claim:

On Sept. 22 they were once again side by side at the Liberty County courthouse, 30 miles southwest of Savannah, near his 83 acre, $7.1 million Hampton Island estate. They told reporters they were just getting a hunting license, but a courthouse source now says Lopez and Affleck submitted an application for a marriage license from Judge Nancy Aspinwall. They asked Aspinwall to store the application—which she did, in a locked cabinet near her desk—until she got the go-ahead from them to file it. Meanwhile, says another source, Affleck asked local authorities to request that the FAA declare a no-fly zone over his property. Police officer Jason Griffin, 33, was one of several people asked to hold Oct. 4 open to provide security for “something big,” he says. “They were going to call me a few days before the 4th to tell me where and when to meet.” But the call never came—and no license was filed.

October 2003

Though a wedding is not officially back on, they are still back together. Ben and Jen are seen out various times throughout the fall, including at a Red Sox game on October 11 and going to dinner in New York on October 28.

December 2003

The pair are seen out in New York City together a few times in mid-December before being spotted back in L.A. together a week before Christmas.

2004

January 2004

Ben and Jen spend New Year's in Las Vegas. In addition to having gone to rehab for alcohol addiction in 2001, much has been made of Ben's propensity for gambling.

Gossip blogger Lainey looked back on pictures taken of J.Lo with Ben at a casino as 2003 neared 2004 and speculates that this is when Jen realized it was over.

As you can see from the images, he’s smoking and she’s bored. And she’s looking at him like - oh my God, I can’t do this anymore. And he... well... if you were to ask me to analyse the situation, I’d say he sabotaged it deliberately. (Source)

January 20, 2004

According to People magazine, this is the day Bennifer officially ends the first act of their relationship.

When Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck arrived at Beverly Hills’ hip Matsuhisa restaurant at 8:30 p.m. on Jan 20, there was none of the usual kissing and laughter. Nor was there anger or yelling. Just the sober countenaces of two people heavy with their own history and, once again, with issues to discuss. During their hour-long Matsuhisa dinner, “they looked serious,” says a witness. More than serious, actually. “He looked sad,” notes the source. “She reached out to touch his head, like, trying to kiss him. And they gave each other a little kiss. But he really wasn’t reacting to her. It seemed like something was wrong.” It was. Before the day was done, the caroming Bentley known as Bennifer—the passionate public embraces, the lavish spending sprees, the night he spent cavorting with strippers in Vancouver last summer and the stunning cancellation of the $2 million wedding last September that left her, according to a mutual friend, “hysterical and very deeply depressed”—had finally skidded to a halt. Two days later—and two years after they met on the set of their disastrous comedy Gigli—her rep announced that Lopez “has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck.” And just like that, the couple-that-could faced the fact that they couldn’t—and pretty much everyone close to them heaved a sigh of relief. “The relationship was a slow death,” says a source close to them both. “It was a long goodbye.”

The news of their split is announced on January 22, 2004.

“I am confirming the reports that Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck,” a rep states. “At this difficult time, we ask that you respect her privacy.”

March 2004

"Jersey Girl" premieres, but Jen - whose role in the movie actually only lasts 15 minutes - does not participate in promotion for the movie.

Rumors spread that Jennifer and old friend and collaborator Marc Anthony are finding comfort in each other as he is also facing an impending divorce. Marc takes to his website to release a statement denying that infidelity led to his divorce, and he defends Jennifer in the process: "In no way, shape, or form did she have anything to do with the rupture of my marriage."

June 2004

Jennifer marries Marc Anthony on June 5, 2004.

She will tell People magazine, in possibly a veiled reference to how Ben got cold feet and ultimately sabotaged their relationship:

"When you find that person who doesn't run when things get hard – I think that's where Marc proved to me that he was more of a man than anything I had experienced."

In her 2014 book, "True Love," Jennifer explains that she ran into Marc right on the heels of her heartbreak with Ben and fell into his arms because she didn't want to be alone.

“We thought that this was where everything was supposed to lead, that we were meant to end up together,” wrote Lopez in her book. “All the heartache and pain of my recent breakup couldn’t have been for nothing, could it? Maybe I had to go through the bad so I could end up with the person I was meant to be with all along." Lopez said in her book that since Anthony felt familiar to her, she thought they were actually supposed to end up together. “And that was the moment when Marc reappeared in my life,” wrote Lopez. “Marc and I had been friends for a number of years... Right from the beginning, he never made it a secret that he liked me." “We make our own choices, and I chose to believe that Marc and I were meant to be together—that destiny was stepping in,” wrote Lopez. “In that moment, I needed to believe that; I needed to believe in something. The reality was, I didn’t want to be alone—so when Marc was there, when he met me with his big smile, his heart on his sleeve, and his arms open wide, I was more than happy to let myself fall into them.” (Source)

July 2004

Ben visits the set of "Elektra" starring Jennifer Garner to make a cameo as his Daredevil character. The two reportedly reconnect during this time.

August 2004

Jennifer Garner confirms she is no longer dating Michael Vartan as rumors swirl that she is now seeing Ben.

September 2004

People magazine reports that Ben and Jennifer Garner spent Labor Day weekend together, being spotted at a Starbucks near his home in Georgia. Us Weekly's Sept. 27, 2004 cover proclaims that they are in love.

October 2004

Ben makes his public debut as a couple with Jennifer Garner. Just as he sat on the sides with Jennifer Lopez at a Red Sox game a year earlier, he is now in the same location with Jennifer Garner.

2005

April 2005

Ben and Jennifer Garner announce their engagement.

Though neither Affleck nor Garner will officially confirm it, a close friend of his has been spreading the word that the couple are going to tie the knot. This echoes a prediction that one of Garner’s childhood friends made in early February when she noted that “it’s my understanding he’s going to give her a ring.”

June 2005

On June 29, 2005, Ben and a visibly pregnant Jennifer Garner get married.

“They’re in it for one another, not for anyone else,” Affleck’s pal, director Kevin Smith tells PEOPLE. “They didn’t need or want a crowd. They just wanted each other.” They got their wish – with a combination of cheers and sighs from friends who were sad they could not be there but understanding of why: in a word, Bennifer No. 1, Affleck’s glitzy romance with Jennifer Lopez, which ended with the permanent postponement of their planned $2 million wedding in 2003. Affleck and Garner, who met while filming 2003’s Daredevil, were afraid that if they told anyone about their plans, the news would spread. So they didn’t – and it didn’t. “I’m so happy they pulled off such an intimate, private event,” says Affleck’s longtime friend, producer Chris Moore tells PEOPLE. “That wasn’t easy.”

Now that the fait is accompli, reps for both have confirmed not only that the wedding took place but that Garner is indeed pregnant – a fact that was unofficially obvious to anyone who saw her supertaut belly swell in recent months. The fact that until now the couple had kept their private life private is, according to his pal, director Don Roos, “a sign of maturity.” Says Moore: “Ben’s got the right woman and he’s excited about this new chapter in his life. He’s really excited about becoming a father and Jen seems ecstatic. She’s so in love and really happy to be married to him.” (Source)

December 2005

Ben and Jennifer Garner's first child, Violet, is born.

In retrospect, the general attitude toward Bennifer 1.0 seemed to be fascination mixed with distaste and disbelief that two people seemingly so different would even try to be together.

An article in GQ has a paragraph that sums this up:

There was also something about the way the public saw him and Lopez, as though they were each simultaneously unworthy of the other, both making some kind of laughably terrible mistake, some kind of humiliating blunder that involved race and gender and class and talent, so that both were acting in a way that was inauthentic, that was a shameful betrayal of who they really were. The notion that they might be two people who just happened to have fallen in love was given short shrift.

The pairings of Marc Anthony/Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck/Jennifer Garner made much more sense to people, and thus media attention and commentary were exponentially friendlier to the idea of those marriages.

But perfect on paper doesn't equal a happy ending, as we will see in Act II.

Edward Holcroft offers up Taron Egerton proof of life.

Taron should be in the middle of filming his latest AppleTV+ series FIREBUG. The project reunites him with his BLACKBIRD showrunner Dennis Lehane and his BLACKBIRD costar Greg Kinnear.

“Firebug,” loosely based on true events and inspired by a podcast of the same name, stars Egerton as an “enigmatic arson investigator with Jurnee Smollett as his partner Michelle, a rising detective.

It will also star another AppleTV+ vet Rafe Spall whose AppleTV+ series TRYING just returned for its fourth season.

Rafe and his TRYING costar Esther Smith are awaiting the birth of their child.

In the pipeline for Taron is Netflix's CARRY ON which was expected to be released this year as it was teased in Netflix's "What's Next in 2024" sizzle reel. He also has SHE RIDES SHOTGUN expected out in 2025. The international distribution sales for the film is largely sold out, while there is no information on domestic distribution.

Everyone in the small town becomes suspects in this terrible crime, divided into several fierce camps accusing each other. Little by little, the viewer discovers the dark and frightening side of life in this seemingly sleepy, backwater town.”

What are the other KINGSMAN alums up to?

Colin Firth only has one project in the offing - the five part Sky Atlantic / Peacock limited series LOCKERBIE. In this true story, Firth plays Jim Swire who, along with his wife, are in a quest for justice for the victims - which included his daughter - of the bombing and subsquent crashing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Marvel — Singers OC 🎼

-> -> -> I was listening to music a lot while looking over my old OC Tyler Sharp and decided why not ;)

-> Disclaimer! I don’t own the anything like the songs mentioned, artist mentioned here are just ideas and I’ve haven’t been in contact with anyone related to this post such as Sony Music. It was just a fun idea I had.

Ana B 🎼

Full Name: Ariana Sandra De Baillo

Nicknames: Ari, Ana, De Baillo, Princesses of pop, Sandy, Dra

Birthday: June 25th

Age: 25

Height: 5’1

Place of Origin: Brooklyn, New York but grew up around Washington Heights

Currently located: Los Angeles and on occasion Florida.

Specie: Half Human aka Mutant

Abilities: Sonic Screams. She can emit a highly enhanced scream of a high amplitudes. She also has the ability to vibrate her vocal chords at will.

Occupation: Singer and dance. And on occasion a bit of a small vigilante which causes her to be late to concerts and rehearsal sessions.

Type of music she likes to dabble into making: Pop, Latin Pop, R&B, Hip Hip, Rap and some acoustic.

Awards Won so far: Latin America Billboard Awards, Kids Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards & Premios Juventud Awards

—

Arianna grew up in the lower east side of Brooklyn to a Ecuador & Mexican mother and Colombian father who always made sure that she was loved. Even if they didn’t have much, her parents made sure she had a roof over her head, food, clothes, and money for a education in New York.

In very late high school, she discovered her love for music and dance (it was given in her culture but still) Ari became in love with it. Listening to music from artists like Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Selena, Shakira and plenty of others. Singing, dancing, rapping and creating music videos using her phone or a actual camera.

—> She would practice dancing in her bedroom, creating videos and then later on uploading them onto YouTube. Especially her covers of songs and funny skits she would make with friends. Eventually a record label (Sony Music), reached out to her and help her start crafting her own.

First songs being The Way, Ready or Not & Hurricane. Being her popular ones too!

During this period of time, Ariana started singing and rapping more instead of just dancing. It was great until one day her voice was really sorely used and decided to rest her vocal chords. Soon enough she got a little cocky and frustrated waiting so long, as she decided to try to sing in her room instead. Screaming out the lyrics, resulting in her vocal chords to ring and a bounce of a quaking strength released, causing her desk to stumble back a little few feet away from her.

“Oh my..d-did i just do that?” She questioned, curiosity took over and she tried again.

It was captivating how powerful it seemed, also it was a small soft advantage to her singing. Ariana wouldn’t admit it, but she feared this power. Wondering how this would effect her career and life in general. It took her months to control it, there was a few accidents and even her manger found out one day, but she pulled though.

—-

Flash forwarded to a few years later, Ana B was singing and dancing on stages, for her own performances and other artists. Performing frontline for Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Cher Lloyd and backup dancing for Fifth Harmony performance for Grammy Awards 2014.

Even being featured in Cher Lloyds songs as well. Due to her mother’s encouragement, Ariana decided to dabble into Latin Pop as well. Her Hispanic roots. Adding a mix of Latin Pop and a bit more R&B into her songs

—> Which resulted in her to featured in Reggaetón Lento with CNCO and Little Mix, create Downtown with J Balvin, and a couple of others. Those are just to name a few. It resulted in her expanding her reach in the music and tv appearance on shows every once in a while.

——

It was going great until one dark cloudy while visiting Los Angels after chilling at the corner store she heard screams and yelling loudly from a alleyway running to help wearing her black hoodie, just all black in general due to leaving rehearsals a hour earlier.

A two girls were being robbed of their money, Ariana couldn’t stands for it and started to try and fight the robbers. The two girls were trying to fight them too.

One caught her by the wrist and held her backwards, Ariana was pissed off and narrowed her eyes a scream piercing scream filled up a sound attack sending both men to fly backward onto the brick wall. Slamming their heads against the wall, knocked out cold. She didn’t mean to do that, it was a scream of panic and anger.

It shocked Ariana as she turned to the girls, “A-are you okay?”

“Y-yeah..h-how did you do that?” One of them asked, grabbing their purse.

“I um..i just screamed, i guessed.” She replied, trying to cover up what happened.

The other one recognized her and gasp, “Y-your—you’re Ana B!”

Ariana smiled sheepishly and nodded, “..y-yeah i am..you girls should go home. We all should!”

The both girls nodded and gushed realizing that this artist saved their lives. They called the cops and went home. However Ariana spent those next few day rethinking that captivating scream and how she saved those girls. She smiled, it felt good. Real good. It took a few days to quietly decide but Ariana decided to used her gift and saved a few others every once in a while. But since Ariana wasn’t trained or anything, she wasn’t the best low crime fighter, at least she tried..

She took up a bit of boxing and stuff to help with fight. A few short self defense posts and it helps her moves on stage, a lot. Sometimes Ariana would be late to rehearsal dressed in a black outfit afterwards. For example…

At start of a small bank robbery downtown, a few men dressed in grey and black suit came running in. There were guns and shouting, when she sneaked into the place. Everything was fine as she pretended to be one of others until a robber grabbed her grab and smirked, “Oh, not so fast, sweetheart.”

She groaned, using her shoulder to elbow him in the chest, “Don’t grab women, sweetheart.”

Her and one of robbers started to dance, twirling, kicking and spinning around the room. Ariana was thrown across the room, her back landing on a desk near a receptionist as she yelled with her vibrating vocals chords, “Get the cops online..p-please.” The women nodded, doing as told.

Ariana was slammed into a wall, she sighed, “Now I know how The Avengers feel..this hurts.” She glances at the clock, as her eyes widened in shock, 1:23pm, she was going to be late to the studio. Better make this quick.

Taking a deep breath and narrowing her eyes towards the robbers. Like singing loudly into a microphone, Ariana lowering her mask closed her eyes shut as a scream ripped off at a medium amplitude modulation knocking off both men. They stumbled back, holding their ears and full lose balance. The cop sirens went off and Ariana nodded at the receptionist putting a finger over lips, that were covered again by the mask, then ran out.

She arrived 5 minutes late, not the worse thing. If one had to be honest, the girl tend to always be a tad late depending on what day it was. Her manger Naya, rushed her off to get ready asking if she was alright seeing how she looked a little bruised. Ariana smiled, getting an ice pack for her aches and Advil for her pains. Naya was like a big sister to her, making sure she was okay and healthy, however she always wondered what her client was up to when she’s not around.

Royal Court Fashion

Specialist Edition: Nabu

It is very fitting Nabu wears purple, as he is my KING!

Why I am doing this bc they need more outfits besides their bodysuit. And I want justice for my Winx Club Babies for a real-life design.

I tried to find outfits according to cultural Background. I researched, and Nabu is claimed to be Mesopotamia inspired. At least that was on a wiki page from winx Club. But then I also saw people saying he has an African or Indian background. So, I am unsure. I thought he was Arabic. Let me know what you think.

Please let me know your opiniononr traditional clothing from the country you think he was inspired from.

Name origion:

that could give further hints to his cultural background.

The alias name he used Ophir:

"...mentioned in the Bible, Ophir. The real location of Ophir is unknown, and there is speculation it was in Africa or South America or India" - Winx Club Wiki

The name Nabu comes from Babylonian mythology. Babylon or Bable is said to have been one of the most important cities in the old days. It is claimed to be in today's Irak.

Description:

Nabu is described as having a "tan complexion with very long brown hair." -Winx Wiki. In comparison, Aisha/Layla is described as "Aisha is a dark-skinned girl". Therefore, clearly states that she is black while Nabu is described as tan. Therefore, one can make the point that he is Asian either of Iraqi or Indian background.

Another example would be Flora. She is described as: " Flora is a young tan-skinned girl." (Same as Nabu.) Flora is modeled after Jennifer Lopez. Therefore, is Latina.

Overall, I would argue Nabu is of Arabic background.

*reference winx club wiki

Outfit description:

He wears a purple tunic with gold lining and a long braided ponytail. Winx wiki describes his outfit:

"In Season 3 and the beginning of Season 4, his clothing bears a close resemblance to traditional Chinese clothing but lacked the silky designs."

- Winx Wiki

Therefore, I would argue that Nabu is Asian. I'm leaning more toward having an Arabic background. I settled, therefore, on Irak.

I tried to find appropriate clothes but I am not familiar with the traditional clothing of Iraqi men. I researched it said:

"The costume for men consists of a pair of baggy pants known as a shalwar, a long-sleeved shirt, and a vest. "

- What modern Iraqi people wear. Talk in Arabic

I googled Shalwar and long-sleeved shirt and west in hopes of finding appropriate outfits. I am not sure if this is 100% accurate as this is not my culture. I liked the outfits and thought it would be interesting to see Nabu wear something like that. Please let me know if you have more knowledge or more appropriate clothing ideas.

The Design:

These outfits are worn on formal events like Stella's princessball. Attending Royal Court in Eraklyon. Formal dances thrown by the three schools.

More casual going out fashion

They are worn when they are on earth and somewhat try to blend in while still keeping their own touch, such as wearing the color purple or Middle Eastern shoe wears and more baggy pants.

I think Nabu would still keep his streamlined outfits. With a simple shirt and a jacket or vest above that can be opened at the front. So, it flows in a straight horizontal line. His pants also would not be too tight so he could move around and be more free.

A sweet headcanon I have is Layla and Nabu doing each others hair as a form of bonding and love language. In the evening or morning, they take their time and braid or detangle their hair. They use that opportunity to talk about anything and nothing. In the morning, Nabu talks about his dreams and what they could mean, and in the evening, Layla would talk about the things she and Winx have done and her worries about what will happen.

It is the calmest time of the day for them. A time just for them and be with each other.

Gangnam Style (Chapter Four)

September 9, 1999.

(Links for her outfit)

Jamie's Pov

The second i stepped out of the limo, i was swarmed by those parasites.

Paparazzo, of course.

I'm used to them, (or so i thought) but that doesn't make them any less annoying. I kept my head up and tried not to wince as the bright lights flashed in my eyes. The fans broke out into a cacophony of boos and cheers the instant they saw me.

"Jamie, over here!"

"Tell us more about your outfit?"

"Are you looking forward to seeing anyone in particular this year?"

"How do you feel about the rumors about you and Brittany Murphy?"

"Ah, sh*t. Here were go again. See, this is why i hate public life."

Brittany had tried to be supportive over lunch last week, telling me about "how much fun" it was going to be.

I would have never put a rain on her parade, but i wasn't having fun yet.

A male reporter rushed over to me, shoving one of those lovely microphones into my face.

"Jamie, hello! How are you? How does it feel to be back in the game?"

It kinda sucks.

I faced the interviewer with a cool expression. "It's a lot to get used to. But i've been performing a lot since "Split" came out, so i'm adjusting."

Since i released "Spilt", life's been really hectic. Paparazzi are constantly on my case, wanting to know every little factoid about my life. But i suppose i've just learned to ignore the press over the years. Those peaceful years in Gangnam were a lot less nerve-wracking, i'll tell you that. Oh well. I'm not staying anyway. Once i do a few more performances, maybe win a few awards... i'll be heading back home.

I said i was done with show business, and i meant it. I just needed to prove something first.

"Are you planning on presenting any awards tonight?"

"No. I wasn't asked to."

Not that i wanted to...

I answered a couple more questions about the new direction of my career. The interviewer actually seemed genuinely interested in my music. It didn't have the heart to tell him they're probably won't be any.

"By the way, You've got a very daring outfit on tonight, Jamie.." The interviewer smiles mischievously. "Are you looking to replace Daniel?"

Is he f***ing serious?

"Not with you." I retorted sharply. Anyone in earshot looked over in either amusement or shock. I started to feel my skin heat up as the multiple eyes started to turn in my direction.

I quickly moved off in the other direction, and i bumped into someone about my height. Some white guy with bleached blonde hair. He was pretty cute too, and i couldn't help but notice that as his blue eyes inspected me with interest. That didn't make me any less annoyed. I resisted the urge to go off on him and shot him glare as i tried to get past him. I did a quick march through the crowd of stars, and i saw many famous faces look my way. I knew it was time to slow down when i almost shoulder-checked Jennifer Lopez trying to get by her. She sneered at me as mumbled a apology for the near collision. Maybe she really is a diva...

I blew out a breath as i began to slow my strides. I didn't need everyone to know how triggering it was for me to hear Daniel's name.

Once i calmed down, i couldn't shake the feeling i was being followed. Sure enough, it was that same rando i bumped into seconds earlier.

I didn't bother to turn my head. I was sure he was just another fan, and it would be easy to get rid of him.

"Stalking is Illegal, my friend." I pointed out as i glanced over my shoulder. I guess he never learned when to take a hint, because he took my response as a sign to get closer. He quickened his pace to walk beside me and gave a little chuckle.

"Stalking? nah. I'm just trying to get a better look at that gorgeous face of yours." He said in a playful tone. I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, please. I bumped into you, and now you're right beside me. Don't play stupid." He raised up his hands in surrender... and kept following. Damn it.

"Ok, Ok, you got me. But there ain't nothin' wrong with talkin' to a fellow artist for a sec, right?"

Fellow artist? This ass-kisser? No, that can't be right...

Slowing down to glance at him i realized that he actually did look familiar. This was that Slim Shady guy, Dr. Dre's new protege. I didn't watch much TV, but i'd seen the music video for "My Name Is" more times than i cared for.

"Now i recognize you. The white guy who wants to be rapper?" I said with a heavy dose of condescension. He frowned, as if that remark genuinely insulted him.

"Not trying to be. i AM a rapper, white or not." He insisted. "And your're Jamie-Anne. The singer who turned her back on Hollywood after her husband whopped her ass."

I bit the inside of my cheek and turned away, trying not to show how much that comment stung.

"Congratulations!" I said with false cheerfulness. You watch the news, like any good stalker should." He keep on following as i continued to walk away, seemingly boasting about how much he knew about me.

"Yeah, i heard the whole thing. The breakup, the music comeback. I gotta say, i'm becoming a fan."

"So what do you want? An autograph?"

He moved to block my path, not letting me pass, his blue eyes boring into me.

"No. I want your number. You're a superstar Jamie. You got thousands of people that are trying to get to you. But you just act like ain't none of them matter. I wanna be one of the few people who actually knows who the f*** you are. I've seen all the gossip magazines and whatever. But that ain't enough. I want to see the real you."

I didn't know what to say. So i decided to say nothing. Seconds later, The announcer said it was time for us to head inside.

"...I need to head inside." I gave him an admonishing look. "And so should you." I started off in the opposite direction, but he gently grabbed my wrist. He looked into my eyes, his own glinting with determination.

"Just five minutes after the show. That's it." He said almost pleadingly. A waft of his cologne washed over me, he was standing so close. The scent was annoyingly intoxicating. I glared at him in silence as he continued his little speech.

"Look, i ain't askin' for much. Just a couple minutes after the show, and then i'll leave you alone. That's it, i swear."

This guy sure is persistent...

i gritted my teeth. "Fine. But only because i can't get rid of you any other way."

He smiled triumphantly, pulling out a worn piece of paper from his pocket and writing down his number. He handed me the paper and i reluctantly took it.

"You won't regret it, i promise. I'll wait for you after the show is over." He shot me a brief, flirtatious smile before letting go of my arm and walking back to Dre.

I couldn't help but find it a little funny how bold this guy was, even if it was annoying. I tried to put him out of my mind as i headed towards the show. But for whatever reason... i couldn't.

No. i can't do this now. I thought frantically. I had a performance that night. No distractions allowed. Yet i couldn't deny the appeal of seeing that young rapper again as i checked him out over my shoulder. He was cute, and fit too. He seemed pretty naive, definitely an easy lay. Probably knew his way around the bedroom too, if his confidence spoke for anything...

But no. i couldn't think of that. I could never allow myself to get attached. Not again.

As i got into my seat, I promised myself two things.

one) i was not going to get attached to this little pest.

two) even if slept with him... i would delete his number right after.

Phew! that took awhile. This has to be my longest chapter yet. That isn't saying much, but i'm still so proud of it. I'd like to drop a second chapter this month, but that's not a certainty. TYSM to all of those who have supported me so far. If you want to see the songs on Jamie's new album, you have to check out my previous post about her TRL interview.

vedic astro observations pt 3

in my previous post i had mentioned how some of the most famous mistresses/concubines/courtesans/women involved in adultery in real life or played such roles on screen often have Pushya or Punarvasu placements. here i'll be providing more example<3

Meena Kumari often played the "Other Woman" in her movies and here she is in her most famous role, playing a courtesan. She has Pushya sun and mercury

Elisabeth Moss plays a concubine in her most well known role in The Handmaiden. she has Pushya sun & mercury

Nicole Kidman played a courtesan in the iconic movie Moulin Rouge. She has punarvasu mercury atmakaraka and Pushya jupiter

Zhang Ziyi's most well known roles involve her playing a courtesan (Memoirs of a Geisha, House of Flying Daggers etc). She has Punarvasu moon

Bina Rai played the legendary courtesan Anarkali in the film of the same name in her most well known role. She has Punarvasu sun, Pushya mercury and jupiter

Hema Malini, Pushya rising was the real life mistress of her now husband Dharmendra. She also played a courtesan in the movie Sharafat

Rani Mukerji had an affair with the much married film producer Aditya Chopra which led to him separating from his wife. Rani has Mars in Punarvasu as her atmakaraka. She also has mercury and venus in Revati, which according to Claire Nakti is a nakshatra that features prominently in the charts of many "home wreckers".

Zeenat Aman had an affair with Sanjay Khan while he was married. The two even got married but things ended really poorly for Zeenat

(i dont want to mention it but you can google it). Zeenat is Punarvasu moon.

Lara Dutta and tennis icon, Mahesh Bhupathi started seeing each other when he was still married to his now ex-wife. Lara has Pushya moon and mars.

Sarika and Kamal Hassan had an affair while he was still married to Vani Ganapathy, leading to their split. Sarika has Mars in Punarvasu as her amatyakaraka. Her birth time is unconfirmed so she's either Ardra or Punarvasu moon

in a similar vein, Shilpa Shetty first started seeing Raj Kundra when he was still married to his first wife. She has Venus in Pushya darakaraka and Saturn in Punarvasu as her atmakaraka. She's also Rohini sun, another nakshatra that crops up often in the charts of women who are considered "home wreckers"

Pushya rising, Julia Roberts met her now husband when he was still married to someone else. Her most famous role to this date is that of a sex worker.

Lauren Bacall has Pushya venus & rising and met her husband Humphrey Bogart while he was still married to another woman

this is more of a speculation but JLo and Marc Anthony got married 5 months after he divorced his first wife, which implies that JLo and Marc probably started seeing each other when he was still married. Jennifer Lopez has Pushya moon

in an older post, i had mentioned how prostitutes in cinema are often played by Ketu natives and i think its interesting how different types of sex worker esque roles are played by different actors. prostitution is a very unglamorous, unrefined and morally frowned upon profession; Ketu is a shadow planet entirely separate from the material world where "morality" is created and enforced, thus it makes sense why these natives are chosen to play these roles, especially in gritty thrillers set in the underbelly of a big city (very Ketuvian). Ketu is in itself a malefic and associated with paradoxical concepts of apathy, impermanence but also liberation and salvation.

however, when courtesans or concubines are portrayed on screen, they are presented as extremely refined, polished and feminine creatures. historically, they were always educated, cultured, diversely talented and enjoyed a good position in the king's court.

they often acted as counsels, and were known for their refinement. such roles in cinema often seem to be played by Pushya or Punarvasu natives in cinema. i had already observed how cancer is the most feminine sign and how cancer women often play the "dream girl" or "trophy wife" in cinema and i would say this is an extension of that; their hyperfeminine mannerisms and persona make them highly desirable to men and courtesans and concubines are required to maintain themselves to a high degree of femininity in manner, appearance and conduct. it only makes sense that cancer girls, specifically Pushya (the height of femininity) and Punarvasu girls are chosen, repeatedly for these roles.

in most movies where a sex worker plays the protagonist, the main theme often tends to be about salvation/redemption. she's perhaps the whore with a heart of gold , the dichotomy between her character and her "immoral" life is explored. the Ketuvian roles explore these themes in the context of a dark, grungy, seedy brothel set in the underbelly of a big bad city whereas the Cancerian ones explore these in the context of a palace or a highly refined upper class setting where manners & conduct are subject to refinement. Ketu represents the shadow and Cancer ruled by the moon shows the light, although like yin and yang, there's good in the bad and bad in the good thoroughly interwoven into each other and impossible to separate.

2. in my personal observation, pisces rashi (0-3 degrees purvabhadrapada, uttarabhadrapada and revati) and bharani nakshatra endows a native with acting ability. these placements are present in the charts of some of the most talented actors in the history of cinema. obviously, one could have other placements and still be good actors.

Meryl Goddamn Streep is a Bharani moon

Saoirse Ronan is Revati sun, Bharani moon & venus with mercury and mars in UBP

Timothee Chalamet has Purvabhadrapada moon (2 degrees pisces) and Ketu in Revati. love him or hate him, gotta admit that the boy can act 🤷🏼‍♀️

Smita Patil, the iconic and prolific indian actress had Revati rising

Shabana Azmi is also Revati rising

again, love her or hate her, you have to admit Rani Mukerji is a terrific actor. She has UBP sun & ketu with mercury and venus in Revati

Heath Ledger is Revati sun & rising with mercury conjunct mars in Purvabhadrapada (2 degrees pisces)

Gary Oldman is UBP sun with moon and mercury in Revati

Robert Downey Jr is Revati stellium (sun, mercury and venus) with Bharani moon

Rooney Mara has UBP stellium (moon, mercury and venus)

Charlie Chaplin had venus in bharani atmakaraka, revati mercury amatyakaraka and mars in bharani

Spencer Tracy, Revati sun, UBP mercury conjunct mars

Buster Keaton, the screen legend and absolute GOAT had Revati moon

Clint Eastwood has mercury and venus in Bharani

Marlon Brando had Revati sun & moon

2 time Oscar winner and 10 time nominee, Bette Davis had Revati sun

pisces rashi, being a water sign gives the natives a certain emotional depth that gives them the ability to completely embody a character in the most convincing manner. being the final rashi, it encapsulates all the lessons of all the previous rashis and makes these natives possess an innate and inexplicable wisdom without first hand experience, thereby enabling them to portray a diverse range of characters convincingly.

bharani nakshatra's deity is lord yama and the nakshatra itself is associated with death. to be a good actor is to both subject your own self to a metaphorical death in order to birth the character within you and project it externally.

My unpopular opinions and rants

● public interviews on YouTube are lame as fuck, they go around asking dumb ass questions that will trigger people and they'll go around adding those stupid edits that make no sense and then people will always answer the dumb questions with a stupid answer. It got repetitive, old and corny real fast.

● ASAP rocky is only relevant because he's with rihanna. She's keeping his name alive. He's only relevant because he benefits from pretty privilege, and rihanna still with him, and they have kids.

● Hannah baker from 13 reasons why is a trash character, and I never liked her. She's a liar, a fraud. She was a bully in her old school, she was out here thotting and bopping fucking with 5 or 6 dudes the whole love triangle playing victim. Hannah Baker was just merely a narcissist who didn't want to take any conuntability for her own actions.

● the reason why your kids don't know their purpose. or what they want to be, or don't wanna talk to you because you treat them like an investment. I don't have kids and don't plan to, but some parents out there need to stop treating their kids like an investment. Please stop hoping your kids go to college so you can brag about them, Please stop hoping your kids get an amazing job that you wanted them to get so you can brag about them because if you treat them like an investment, they're going to grow up in the real world not knowing who they are or what they want to with their lives and end up being depressed because they spent their whole entire life trying to please you.

● Being a perfectionist is not a good thing. Stop saying like it is a good thing. It's merely just self sabotage disguise as a perfectionist. You believe in yourself because you're scared that you put your work out there. A lot of people are going to trash it, dismiss it, and you don't want people to have an opportunity to give you a negative opinion.

● Kim Kardashian did more for black people than Obama ever did. Obama just did nothing but be black and did a whole bunch of shit for all the communities, but he didn't do shit for black folks.

● Normani is missing something. The only reason why normani isn't really blowing up is because she took too long to introduce herself. We still know her as the pretty black girl who can dance and sing. There's really not a lot to her I think she's pretty boring.

● don't hang around with bums that complain all the time about how their life ain't shit and how they are annoyed and depressed how they can't stand this. Don't hang around with those types of people. Because those be the same people that be jealous of you and will grow to resent you if you keep hanging around them.

● On my block, season 4 was the worst season. It was a waste of time, it was complete garbage, and I was so annoyed how they rushed through it and everybody was dating each other, fucking each other, everyone was going there separate ways, it made no sense and they killed off so many characters.

● most people have kids for selfish kids but won't admit it. Let's be honest Many people will sit up here and say,'I want kid till I'm 25 or 30' because a lot of y'all just want people to take care of you, so you don't end up being alone. Many people plan to have children by 30, 31, or 35 because they want someone to be there, they want an aesthetic of having a child, and they don't want to feel left out because all there friends of people there close to have children.

● The early 2000s Era had better music than the 90s Era. We had Ashanti, Aalyiah, Jennifer lopez, gwen Stefani, Eve, Destiny's child, Timbaland.

● J Cole is overhyped he's an amazing rapper and singer, but I just see him as a regular rapper.

● jhene aiko doesn't get enough credit for her work. Yes, she's praised for her voice and talent, but let's be honest, she isn't praised and rewarded like she really should be that she built and created for herself her songs are unique and she's very creative, she's really slept on and very underrated.

● There's a difference between being a good person and being nice. At the end of the day, just because you're nice doesn't mean you're a good person. Don't sit up here and say,' I'm a good person. At the end of the day, people never reciprocate." it like bitch stfu. Maybe you're just a people pleaser. Being a nice person is very different from being a good person because a good person is kind knows how to treat everyone with respect and a nice person will tell everyone what they want to hear to keep the peace and put on their best face to make sure everyone likes them solely because everyone likes a nice person, but not everyone respects a nice everyone.

● never ever trust somebody who counts favors. If somebody trying to bring all the nice they did for you, never trust those people. People who count favors are not good people there willing to hit you up one day to remind you of those favors to get what they want from you.

● before you go out of your way to listen to your parents about what you should do with your career, please give yourself a second look at your parents and see if there happy of there own career you don't want to take advice from a miserable bitch. If your parents aren't happy with there careers why the fuck would you lisen to them on what you should do with you life and how you can make money.

● Coi leray benefits from pretty privilege if she was ugly she wouldn't be where she is today.

Why does everybody hate Jennifer Lopez now?

I could take a few guesses, but let me ramble a little bit.

Okay, so I know Jennifer Lopez as an actress and music performer. In case you've noticed, I didn't call her a singer because that's not exactly her strong suit. However, I do know that she can dance and act. The singing, to me, just seems like more of a feature than the main event in her shows.

But anyway, she has been on the receiving end of a lot of bad press throughout her decades-long career. But it wasn't all bad in the beginning. She was an actress who was getting Golden Globe nominations and was in Oscar talks for her portrayal of Selena Quintanilla in the critically acclaimed musical biopic 'Selena' in the '90s, and she was becoming the queen of rom-coms with her box office hits back in the early 2000s. And during the height of all of that, she was releasing chart-topping singles and albums.

She was dating, then married, then divorced, then dating and married again. Had twins, got divorced, engaged, broke up, engaged again and is now married to an old flame (Ben Affleck) in 2022. But presently, there are rumors of our dear, dear Bennifer divorcing.

Just months ago, she's released films about her love life, her career growth, and new music that isn't exactly performing well. Sure, we can blame it on the fact that she's been at it for over 20 years, but there are other celebrities that have been here for decades too and are still peaking or peaking again and again in their careers (ahem, Beyoncé). Queen Bey has the respect, reverence, legend status, and career that many aspire to have.

Including Jennifer.

Which brings me to the main reason, at least in my view, of why people hate Jennifer Lopez as much as they do lately.

She tries too damn hard.

She wants to be a legend, and she wants, no demands, to be given her flowers now. Instead of letting it happen naturally over time, she wants to be celebrated and revered for her long career in immediate effect. And I suppose that's fair. She has been a staple in pop culture for decades. She'd constantly remind you that Google Maps was invented because of a green dress she wore. She's performed at the Super Bowl (with Shakira). She has a net worth of over $400M.

But these documentaries and new releases she keeps giving us feel like she's trying to fast-track it and shove her need to be named a 'legend' down our throats.

But there's a certain level of authenticity that seems to be missing in her recent endeavors.

Perhaps it's the relentless pursuit of validation or the constant need to remind everyone of her past achievements. Whatever the case may be, it's clear that some people are growing tired of it. Moreover, there's another element that has contributed to the negative perception surrounding Lopez: her reputation for being rude to people.

Despite her talent and success, numerous reports and anecdotes have surfaced over the years, painting a picture of Lopez as someone who is difficult to work with and not always pleasant to those around her. One notable incident occurred at the 2024 Met Gala, where Lopez was captured on video being dismissive and rude to a reporter who approached her for an interview. The video quickly went viral, further tarnishing her public image and adding fuel to the criticism against her.

Whether it's stories of diva-like behavior on set or instances of dismissiveness towards fans and colleagues, these accounts have only served to exacerbate the dislike towards her.

Let's swing back to the mention of Beyoncé. It's hard not to draw comparisons between Jennifer Lopez and Queen Bey, especially considering their prominence in pop culture. Beyoncé's career trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric, and she's achieved a level of respect, admiration, and reverence that many in the industry aspire to attain.

Jennifer Lopez, with her own impressive career spanning decades, might find herself in the shadow of Beyoncé's shining star. It's not difficult to imagine that Jennifer could harbour feelings of envy or jealousy towards Beyoncé, seeing how effortlessly Queen Bey commands the attention and adoration of millions worldwide.

She can STILL sell out stadiums instantly (Jennifer has never had a stadium tour, let alone a sold out one), top the charts with both albums and singles, go platinum and multi-platinum still. Break a record a day without doing so much as posting an Instagram link to a surprise project.

And the stark difference?

Beyoncé settles in her legendary status seamlessly. Because he work ethic, talent and results are proven. she keeps her private life private, remains graceful and humble and carries the fuck on with her life.

Indeed, the comparison between Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé is inevitable, considering their parallel journeys in the spotlight. And this isn't me saying that they are on the same level in any way. But I only use Mrs. Knowles-Carter as an example because she too came up around the same time as J-Lo did.

Beyoncé, often hailed as a paragon of grace and professionalism, exudes a sense of authenticity and humility that resonates with audiences worldwide. Her meticulous work ethic and unwavering dedication to her craft have solidified her status as a cultural icon. Unlike Lopez, Beyoncé doesn't seek validation or demand recognition; she lets her artistry speak for itself.

On the other hand, Lopez's relentless pursuit of acclaim sometimes comes across as contrived and insincere. Her propensity for self-promotion and occasional displays of diva behavior have alienated some fans and industry insiders. While her accomplishments are undeniable, the manner in which she navigates her fame often leaves much to be desired.

The recent incident at the Met Gala serves as a microcosm of Lopez's divisive persona. While Beyoncé effortlessly commands the red carpet with her poise and elegance, Lopez's behavior towards a reporter underscores a disconnect between her public image and reality. Such moments only serve to reinforce existing perceptions of her as arrogant and out of touch.

And releasing films about her romance with Ben Affleck, one of which broadcasts his private love letters he sent her years before they finally got married, seems a little...yeah.

She's ambitious and wants to prove herself but forcing it is a huge reason why it's not working.

Age with grace in all things, damn.

In essence, the disdain towards Jennifer Lopez isn't solely rooted in jealousy or resentment but rather a culmination of her actions and public persona. While she undoubtedly possesses talent and charisma, her inability to strike a balance between ambition and authenticity has contributed to her polarizing reputation.

As the pop culture landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether Lopez will heed the criticisms and recalibrate her approach or double down on her quest for validation. In the realm of celebrity, where perception is everything, the line between adoration and disdain can be perilously thin. For Jennifer Lopez, navigating this delicate balance may prove to be her greatest challenge yet.

this has been another ramble by,

the pop culture ramble.
