Elsewhere, you read what other
publications have to say about Ben & Jen.
Here you find out wassup,
first hand.
After Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez took over the penthouse
in the new Phoenix (1600 Arch), to greet her hunk, star-struck J.Lo
arranged to have the petals of 50 dozen roses scattered around the
lavish love nest.
Do you think that made an impression? (Maybe not
as much as the sports car she reportedly gave him.)
Since J.Lo is partial
to white, I was wondering if the 50 dozen roses were white roses, but
I couldn’t nail that down.
While it’s an enormously romantic gesture I was wondering – I’m
a guy, remember – who had to sweep that mess up?
US Weekly reported
the penthouse love nest rents for $17,000 a month. The love birds
have two penthouse suites, and I hear 80 Large is more like it (including
rose-petal removal?)
Speaking of Gentle Ben, after the Eagles game,
he and some “Jersey
Girl” film crew guys spent about three hours reportedly downing
beers at Downey’s (Front & South). As usual, Affleck was
laid back and friendly. The crew is in there often.
Also drinking
at Downey’s, apparently unaware of Gentle Ben,
were several Eagles regulars – QB A.J. Feeley, kicker David
Akers, tackle Jon Runyan, defensive tackle Brandon Whiting, and guard
Doug Brzezinski. They enjoyed Miller Lite and Irish coffee, and were
friendly with the crowd.
