J-Lo: Third time lucky walking down the isle?
Well I must say the girl is persisitant and just doesn't like being alone. Most of us when we break up with someone we love you take time for yourself to gather yourself but not so is the case for this lass. In November of last year just weeks after her engagement ended with then fiancee Ben Afflect, Jennifer 'J-Lo' Lopez was getting herself reacquainted with former beau Marc Anthony who was married at the time.
- Skip forward some six months and to last week to be precise where Marc Anthony then proceeds to get a quickie divorce in the Dominican Republic from his beauty queen wife of 4 years (the couple has 2 young children) and the pair are now husband and wife.
According ot reports the couple who met in 1999 tied the knot at J-Lo's Los Angeles estate. White tents and an altar were set up outside Lopez's house on Saturday, with folding chairs on both sides of an aisle, Us reported. The two were married shortly after 6 p.m. before about 40 guests. Lopez reportedly wore Neil Lane jewelry and a white dress with a veil. Lopez's mother, Guadalupe, arrived at the event in a limousine with Anthony according to ''Entertainment Tonight''.
The oddmakers in the UK have already condemmed the couple and have them divorced by the end of the year odds on that happening is 3 to 1. Some has her tieing the knot more than 8 times in her life beating Elizebeth Taylor also. Only time will tell.

Angie Stone is back with a new single, set to follow and is on tour
Angie Stone is bringing the love back to soul music with a fresh new single 'I wanna thank you' featuring Snoop Dogg. The new track will be going to radio in the upcoming weeks and an album will follow.
She is currently going on tour supported by one of the finest drinks around. The Stone Love Concert Tour is supported by RémyRed®. It kicked off in Atlanta on May 1 at the Midtown Music Festival. And speaking of Remy Red, she even has a song about the drink, which is one of her favorite drinks, on her album. The song appears on her upcoming album, "Stone Love," which will drop in July on J Records.
Stone apparently likes the drink so much, she also created a signature Rémy Red cocktail, "The Girlfriend," together with a New York-based mixologist. It consists of a blend of RémyRed Red Berry Infusion and orange, pineapple, pomegranate and lime juices with a splash of ginger ale. She's also partnered with RémyRed to launch the RémyRed & Angie Stone Girlfriend Getaway sweepstakes. "Angie attended a Rémy Martin® event and had the opportunity to try RémyRed. It was love at first sip," said Maria Tiu, Brand Manager for RémyRed. "The song came out of her experience with RémyRed. We loved the song and saw the opportunity for a very positive intersection between the brand [RémyRed] and Stone's persona. She really conveys the RémyRed image -- a bold, confident, stylish woman who's not afraid to take charge and has a great time doing it." "I've always been a person to reach out … And when you reach out good things happen," says Stone. "I reached out to Remy to tell them about a song I wrote because of a great experience I had at a Remy event. They [Remy] were able to understand me as an artist and as a person. They afforded me an opportunity to showcase my talents, not only as a singer, but a marketer as well."

RIAA files suits against 493 people as file sharing continues to grow
It seems that they (RIAA) are showing no mercy as The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reported last Monday that it has sued another 493 individuals for swapping songs or file-sharing as it's more commonly known on peer-to-peer networks.
As the fight continues over the rights to do file-sharing over the internet, it's popularity continues to grow in numbers. According to the market research and marketing consulting firm Big Champagne, up to 9.5 million Internet users were simultaneously using file-sharing networks in April, compared to the figure of 7.4 million logged on seven months earlier in September 2003.The RIAA has now sued a total of 2,947 individuals since last September in an effort to demonstrate its commitment to stop any and all file-sharing, according to a Reuters report. Though the identities of most of the individuals sued or being sued are unknown to the RIAA, the trade group said on Monday that it has sued 24 individuals by name via issued subpoenas, in what they call 'John Doe' lawsuits.
In January, an appeals court ruled that several Internet service providers are not required to reveal the identity of their customers. In retaliation, the RIAA began pursuing these "John Doe" lawsuits to sue file-sharers by name. The RIAA told Reuters that those sued by name declined the group's offers to settle out of court. The RIAA has reportedly settled 486 of these cases for around $3,000 each.
"Our continuing objective is to send a message of deterrence, protect the rights of property owners, and foster an environment where the legitimate marketplace, both online and at retail, can flourish," RIAA President Cary Sherman said in a recent statement.
