Marc's $8,000 Love Letter

What possessed Marc Anthony to plunk down $8,000 for a full-page ad for his wife?



The crooner spent the money to honor his wife Jennifer Lopez, who picked up a 2006 Women in Film Crystal Award Tuesday night in LA.

The ad appeared in Tuesday's daily edition of Variety, which charges $8,000 for a full page ad. The ad was written like a movie script, outlining a scene at an award show, describing Lopez as "the most beautiful woman" and "Lola."

The kudos to La Lopez didn't stop there, as Tuesday's daily edition of Variety was all about the multi-talented Latina superstar. The magazine also featured three more ads from top studios as well as a two-page editorial on Lopez's life and acting career.

1. I am confused as to how Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt can portray so much care for children by committing thousands of $$ to children in other countries when we have, here in the U.S., millions of children in so much need with health care, abuse protection, education, adoption, the list goes on.

2. As to Marc Anthony's ad? Well, I think it's wonderful when a spouse does these public displays of affection & we know he can afford it. It's very romantic actually. HOWEVER, I used to be a huge fan of his until I watched the ALMA Awards this week & he publicly announced while receiving the Celia Cruz Award that the songs sung by other performers & showcased were written FOR for Jennifer. My God... Mind you, the man was married TO SOME ONE ELSE... (Dianara I think her name is!) at the time of alot of those song & has 2 children with her!!!! That was extremely disrespectful to his former wife, but mostly to his children.... All he showed was he never loved their mother, and had JLo on his mind since their break up ages ago. Shame on you Marc, I always felt you were better than that.... Now I know better!

4. The whole J Lo & Marc Anthony saga is so old. JLO ran to him after being Rejected by Ben Affleck. Give me a break it isn't love. We will see how long she puts up the charade. Honestly, she's been through so many divorces she may have to stay in this one simply to save face. It is so obvious that Marc Anthony is insecure. That is why he tries to finance their marriage in such extravagant ways because I think he is obsessed with her but knows she can drop him so fast and be engaged the next day. Blah, blah, blah.
I'm tired of the charade. She doesn't even LOOK happy.

5. Rumors have been around for ages as to how he treats Jennifer like a trophy. He's dictating,possesive and controlling. JL's entire fashion statements have also gone from sexy and hot, the must haves, to almost Mary Poppins'ish. I bet he controls much of what she does and says. And, like another post, I havent seen her 'look' happy since marrying him. I wouldnt be surprised if his main reason for placing the as is to remind people what he has. If no one goes OHH AHHHHHH he feels that the trophy needs polishing or no one will look at HIM anymore. He's old news, and honestly, never has been anything worth bragging about.

6. I feel sorry for Marc Antony. He distroyed his special and loving family for a common woman. Marc, Dayanara and their two sons lives will never be the same without a united family. Marc was blessed with one of the greatest blessings anyone could be given, a family...He just threw it away!...

Marrage is like a roller coaster with ups and downs. You cant just bail out when the ride gets bumpy, you have to hold on even tighter to survive... If he dedicated that same time and efforts into his marrage as he did to gain the hand of Jennifer Lopez. He would still be married to Dayanara and his two boys and be the most happiest man on earth...

7. I like to comment on both letters.First,about Brad and Angelina...I am of the same mind as the person thats ask about they helping all those children when we do still have so many of our own,here in our country that really need so much! Why we always help the others and not our own?
And Jen and Marc..why dont we let them be happy? If they love each other,let them be,look for something else to do with your time and let them have some happiness.If his last wife lost him,is because she never really had him in the first place!

8. Marc Anthony is nothing but a tipicall hispanic man. I dont think he loves Lopez he loves what he has (there is a lot to said about that he has had a NYC cop as his first baby moma, then he had Miss Universe for a baby moma which he proclaim his love twice not ones but TWICE by marring her both times, and now with Lopez . ) I don't see nothing wounderfull about Lopez her ass so what ? do you remenber LA CHACON that was ass not what Lopez has, there are more women with the same or more ass then hers and there not making any fuzz about it . I agree with the previous letter she does not look happy at all she looks supress. and about her acting she can NOT act at all.

10. People People!!! I see things like this, and it makes me cringe!! WHAT a bunch of haters Hispanics are to each other! Its a shame!! FIRST of all, Diayanara is not a victim here....Im sure shes well compensated for her being married to Marc Anthony, and so what if He says Jennifers the love of his life...!! Jennifer is beautiful,successful, and shes a Latina!! Maybe if ALOT of our people stopped hating each other so much, wed be much more succesful!! And who are all these people claiming this and that...shut up!!! WE do not know what goes on behind closed doors, so people out there upset about J.lo and Marc...Too freakin bad!! It is what it is,,! If you dont have anything nice to say...Shut up! Face it!! Shes one of the most famous Latinas out there..so deal with it...SHES HOT and talented!! Wow It makes me sad to see how many haters are out there....especially towards our own people! SO SAD!! I dont see the hispanic community going anywhere with all this jealousy!!! WOW live you life and leave them alone...In the End, They really dont give a rats ass about your negative comments, it only varifies to them how jealous people really are of Jennifer!!! PS
