Looks like last night’s dinner outing was a pre-emptive strike…

Check out Us Weekly’s explosive new cover – Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony on the brink of a split? 

Mostly because she was not wearing her wedding ring last week at the Benjamin Button premiere. They say she’s a calculating bitch…she knew exactly what she was doing. She was sending a message. And apparently he parties a lot, and was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, and could have cheated on her. And Eva Longoria has something to do with it? 

Oh please. Eva Longoria has nothing to do with anything. Eva Longoria is irrelevant. 

Still…there are other factors. Namely, the fact that JLo’s career is in the sh-ts. As mentioned earlier, she’s been in LA attending meeting after meeting with the intention of throwing herself back into movies. Quality pictures that she hopes could get her a nomination. Snort.

And of course there’s Marc’s alleged over-control. He vetoes her clothing, he vetoes her friends, he flexes an iron fist regarding her every move… and finally she’s tired of it. This does ring true. We’ve seen them on the carpet before with eTalk. Something about the way he hovers…

Or…

It’s not like she’s a total neophyte when it comes to media manipulation. Things could be completely fine and she could be engineering everything to get herself some headline space. After all, it’s been a long, long time since JLo was worthy of a cover. She’s taken a backset to the Brange for much too long. A backset to The Hills, a backseat to Tom Cruise, a backseat to EVERYONE. Jennifer Lopez does not like being #2. Whatever works, right?
