In Other News...Bennifer II, Jessica Simpson, and Cinderella Man, Guaranteed
by Jen Yamato | June 30, 2005

Celeb-watchers the world over can finally exhale -- Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have tied the knot! The couple, who met on the set of "Daredevil," began dating last year after both ended a string of high-profile relationships and are already expecting their first child. Despite recent rumors that they were planning a stateside wedding, Bennifer II wed quietly at the Parot Cay resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands as Garner's "Alias" co-star and on-screen father, Victor Garber, looked on. Publicists for the newlyweds confirmed the nuptials on Thursday, also noting that Baby Bennifer is due this fall.

Pop songstress and soon-to-be-movie starlet Jessica Simpson is shouldering harsh criticism by a group of morally concerned Christians in response to her racy new music video, "These Boots Were Made for Walking." The song, recorded for the soundtrack to Simpson's film debut in this summer's "The Dukes of Hazzard," features a bikini-clad Simpson -- in character as Daisy Duke, of course -- washing a car a la Paris Hilton, grinding in the laps of old men, and kissing co-star Willie Nelson. The critics, a Christian media-watching organization called 'The Resistance,' call the video 'slutty,' and shame Simpson for abandoning her Christian background by joining the ranks of 'singing strippers.' In their manifesto, posted online, they call for a more tasteful re-shoot of the video -- one in which Simpson doesn't appear to be a 'slutty stripper with a fetish for old men.'

And finally, in response to a slumping industry and less-than-impressive ticket sales, theater chain AMC Entertainment is offering movie-goers a money-back guarantee for tickets to see Universal Pictures' "Cinderella Man." While it's too early to say if this unusual marketing ploy is making a positive or negative mark on theater profits, it may be worth the gamble -- the strategy was used last for the Julia Roberts flick, "Mystic Pizza."

You go Ben! Man, first Lopez, now Garner. Asking Jessica Simpson not to be slutty is like asking a bird not to fly, 'tis all I have to say.

Jessica Simpson is suppose to be acting like that in the vid because she's playing Daisy Duke!

Then I guess I missed that TV episode where Daisy Duke's slutty nature and old-men fetish are revealed... Anyway, these moralists should get a break and realise Christian is not necessarily synonym to prude.
