Affleck calls Lopez his `girlfriend
כתבה שבת דודה רחוקה שלי מקנדה שלחה לי לגבי ג'ן ובן... NEW YORK—Interesting choice of words, Ben. Accepting an award from the liberal People for the American Way Foundation, Ben Affleck didn't use the f-word — as in fiancée — when referring to Jennifer Lopez. "I only accept it in the hopes that the absurd amounts of publicity that I received lately, that as far as I can tell is chiefly because I have a pretty girlfriend, that's what I did, I am a champion of the American way with a pretty girlfriend — bring it on, paparazzi, news at 11 — in the hopes that some of that publicity might be pointed at something more significant, something more positive, productive and meaningful," Affleck said, according to a television news tape. The actor made the remarks while accepting a Spirit of Liberty Award Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Lopez was at the gala with him, as were fellow liberals Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, Bill Maher, Rob Reiner and Heather Thomas. The Dixie Chicks got a freedom of speech award, but were off touring. Lopez and Affleck, whose recent film Gigli bombed after abysmal reviews, had planned to marry Sept. 14 before abruptly calling off the wedding. It would have been the third marriage for Lopez, 33, and the first for Affleck, 31. Affleck and Lopez also co-star in the Kevin Smith movie Jersey Girl, set for release next year.
