THE WEDDING PLANNER (WANTS
THE WEDDING PLANNER (WANTS HER DEPOSIT BACK): The Affleck/Lopez vows are off, at least for the time being (the eventual divorce, however, is still on). The New York Daily News felt the need to share this news on their Thursday front page, even on the two-year anniversary of 9/11 (see above right; via Gawker). This shows once again why I don't read the Daily News- it has all the shallowness of the Post, but none of the shameless audacity.
The News' decision does have an internal logic, however, since the wedding was allegedly postponed due to "excessive media attention," and it was the NYDN who, in their biggest scoop of the year, published the day and location of the now-scuttled nuptials. But this doesn’t bode well for Ben and Jen- the last time something they worked on together was postponed due to bad media attention, they called it "Gigli."
