Whenever I think of J.Lo’s song Jenny from the Block, the refrain gets stuck in my head and I see Ben Affleck rubbing her ass in a loop. He’s always biting his lip and looking like he’s concentrating really hard on it. I just re-watched that part of the video (at 3:20 here) and it’s not as bad as I remember, although he does kiss it. So that’s why I was reluctant to report this story that Jennifer Lopez denies that the rock she’s been wearing on her left hand is an engagement ring from Casper Smart-enough to get a $10k a week allowance. She denied it with the line “don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got,” which means I have to keep seeing Ben Affleck touching her ass, but worse than that I have to hear the song.
We’ve heard all sorts of stories that Lopez is just about to marry Smart. It’s her M.O., and US Weekly even ran a story in late April that she was about to marry Casper, was “certain she wants to be with Casper forever” and was anxious to expand her family with him. Well Jennifer says she’s not engaged, and we shouldn’t be fooled by the diamond she’s got on her left ring finger inviting speculation.
Jenny from the Block won’t be walking down the aisle any time soon.
“Rumors!!! Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got,” Jennifer Lopez wrote on her website Friday in response to buzz boyfriend Casper Smart popped the question. “No engagement!”
After quoting her 2002 R&B hit (and posting a white-hot self-portrait without any bling on her ring finger), Lopez asked fans, “What’s the best way to stop a false rumor?”
Chatter that Lopez, 42, and Smart, 25 – who’ve been romantically linked since last November – were taking the next step first heated up in March, when a fake Tweet from fashion designer Roberto Cavalli seemed to suggest the two were engaged. (A source close to Lopez then confirmed to PEOPLE that the reports were false.)
Since then, Lopez has been photographed stepping out with a questionable ring on her finger.
But rumors aside, it appears to be a lasting sweet romance for the couple, who shared candy (and some cozy moments) last weekend in Las Vegas.

So she’s not engaged, but she is letting Casper sabotage her career by sitting in on really important business meetings he should have no access to as her boy toy. Maybe this means her people are starting to get through to her, and are telling her she better not make herself a laughing stock by making Casper any more legitimate than she already has. Or maybe she’s starting to wake up to the reality that this is a fling with a much younger guy, and that it would be supremely stupid to marry him, although I doubt it. Hell she might just be engaged and the people running her website are doing damage control. It’s not like she even retweeted this.
I laugh every time I hear that song because of lyrics like these:
“I’m down to earth like this” and “Then can’t forget to stay real…To me it’s like breathing”.
Really, bitch?
oh, what does it matter? She’s just Jenny From The Block, right?
“jenny from the sound stage”. haha
Stop it. That’s all I have for this one.
Those are some funky M.C. Hammer pants she’s sportin’ there! Do it, do it, do it!! Marry him Jlo! You’ll never out marry Liz Taylor if you don’t get moving!
I think we’re pretty much witnessing the decline and fall of this woman’s career.
What was the meaning for a woman raised in a Catholic-conservative family, with a domineering father figure, to fight her way to the top of her business, make her own money, her own brand, her own name, to finally leave/lose it all because of an egotistical young douche who simply knows… how to top her?
That is the problem ladies with women who pretend to play with the big boys: They never aim higher, they never want to be the best no matter the gender, and end up sitting down meekly under another man’s thumb.
What was the use of all those personal sacrifices I am sure she had made along the way, while viciously fighting/sleeping her way to the top?
Maguita – LMAO at “viciously fighting/sleeping her way to the top”! CLASSIC. 😀
She needs a catchy little song just for him. “Don’t cha wish your boyfriend was Smart like mine?” That”s the best I can do for Monday.
Ha!
I still don’t believe Casper is giving career advice in meetings concerning Jennifer.
I know it seems my opinion is a minority opinion, but I just don’t believe it.
Does it matter? She’s always getting engaged, married, divorced, lather, rinse, repeat.
Even back then people found those lyrics hilarious, and now even more so.
If she wants to stay on top we need to too see more of her energy when she swithches gears and cant get enough of her new boyfriend. Those dance sequences were amazing.
Wow she is a firecracker.
If her PR team was smart they would have videos of her dancing in perfect sync with her lover all time.
As I stated before when Jlo is fired or done with Idol, so is her career, I stated she would go back as being the tabloids queen again full of lies and drama.
Who cares she’s dating/engaging/marrying/divorcing her latest dude? Who is he, anyway? And more to the point, what has she done lately that we should still care? I mean, apart from dating/engaging/marrying/divorcing various dudes. Sigh. She’s soooo loving every minute of all the publicity this latest fling of hers is bringing her.
Is the tv show Intervention still on? JLo needs romantic help STAT!
Lol, I don’t get it…it’s not a great song by any means (I’m a music major!) but I enjoy her pop ditty over the likes of Rihanna any day!
I mean why can male rap stars (like Jay-Z or Kanye, Diddy, etc) talk about being “the greatest” or build up whole song catalogs about how amazing they are and people generally worship them (I’m thinking Jay-Z with that one because Kanye annoys people) and it’s okay? We buy their singles…or our kids and friends do…but when a women, like in this case Jennifer, does a song like this (with Clipse mind you! A respected rap group/duo) and we laugh at her or assume it’s who she is entirely!
It doesn’t seem fair or right, imo.
Anyhow, I hope she isn’t letting Caspar sit in on meetings and that she’ll keep him as a boyfriend or boytoy but not be dumb enough or so rash as to actually marry him!
If she were my friend or sibling I would sit her down and give her a load of advice!
I truly, sincerely hope that her career ends in a spectacular fashion. Kind of like her “Sweet Face” line. 😛
