This story came out last week but I just saw it, so I apologize for my tardiness. Jennifer Lopez appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark to discuss her large, blended family. Although Jen and husband Ben Affleck are enjoying a big, happy family vibe, the fact is, when they united their two fronts, they ended up with a whole house full of teenagers. Of all of the things you want doubled when you merge households, teens are likely not your first choice. Jen told Kelly and Mark that it was kind of a shock to go from babies, who tend to listen to their parents, to these pre-teens and teens who ?start challenging you.? I imagine if you multiple that by five, yeah, that would be tough.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have their hands full.
During a new guest appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, the ?Let?s Get Loud? singer opened up about her and her husband?s blended family. Between them, the couple share five children in total, four of whom are teenagers.
?That?s almost five teenagers. The youngest is 11, so he?s not quite [a teen], but preteen,? Lopez told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. ?He?s an angel.?
She added, ?The teenage years are tough. They start challenging you and everything. You have this baby for a while and then it?s like your best little friend who loves being with you all the time, and all of a sudden they?re like, ?Get out of my room.??
Consuelos?who shares three children with Ripa?offered a few words of comfort to the multi-hyphenate: ?But, you know they come back when they?re in their 20s.?
?Twenties?!? Lopez replied. ?Jesus Christ! I?m so depressed.?
?It?s crazy, I feel like I had them yesterday. They were just babies a little while ago,? Lopez continued. ?It?s the time when they are individuating and they are challenging everything you say and everything you do and everything you are. And that?s what it is. And you have to kind of just ride the waves. I feel like it?s like surfing. I?m just riding the waves?whoops, just got knocked over. Now, I?m back! I?m back!?
She also described the struggles of being a mother of teenagers.
?I think it?s particularly hard on moms a little bit. Because they always kind of love Dad,? she said. ?They are always kind of like, ?Dad?s the best.? And I was like that with my dad too. My mom told me?and I?ll say it to you right now on TV in front of everybody?I understand you so much more now.?

Jen and Ben?s problem is numbers. Once they got five, it became mob rule. I?m kidding. Five teens sounds overwhelming to me and so far, teenagerdom is my favorite phase. Maybe because mine challenged me from the start, the little brats. No! Again, I?m kidding kind of. I don?t know how to communicate with younger kids. I tend to approach things through discussion and four-year-olds don?t really have many counter arguments I can relate to. So once my kids brought their own viewpoints into the picture, our relationship took on a larger dimension. It?s just different for everyone, I think. But again, I have two and there are two adults. We?re not outnumbered.
I love Jen likening raising kids to surfing and getting knocked over by the waves of challenges. It?s an apt description. I also

The Cannes Film festival began on Tuesday, with the world premiere of Jeanne du Barry. The star of that film? Johnny Depp, who looked ?fresh? from the hairplug salon. His plugs were the only fresh thing about him this convicted wife beater looks ugly inside and out. The less said the better.
It?s truly unfortunate that people still cast Depp in anything, and it?s despicable that the Cannes Film Festival not only put Depp?s film in competition, they gave him the opening-night premiere. An audience full of misogynists gave him a standing ovation too. Even his hairplugs wept.

| | Taylor Swift & Matt Healy stepped out together in NYC at the Electric Lady | | Added 346 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Matt Healy joined Taylor Swift in Philadelphia over the weekend, for her latest Eras concert. Healy performed with Taylor?s opening act, Phoebe Bridgers, and then Healy hung out in the VIP area for Taylor?s concert. He was seen with Taylor?s parents. After Philly, Healy and Taylor traveled back to New York, which is where they stayed last week, after Taylor?s Nashville concert. Healy is, by all accounts, staying at Taylor?s ritzy New York apartment and ?they?re not platonic? (lol). Healy was even photographed on Monday entering and leaving Taylor?s apartment building when he arrived, he carried a big Louis Vuitton bag, which he left at her apartment.
I thought that was going to be the story, just pointing out that Healy is staying with Taylor in New York and has been for weeks. But then these photos came out, the photos in this post. Taylor and Matt were photographed together as they exited the Electric Lady recording studio, where Taylor seemingly hosted a small reception with friends. As Matt and Taylor left, they were surrounded by Taylor?s security and paparazzi. Matt protectively put his hand on Taylor?s back as he followed behind her. These are the first big ?public outing? photos (I?m not counting those grainy pics in a Nashville parking garage). They are claiming each other.
So, yeah I love this? I love this because the Snake Fam is SO MAD about this. Taylor?s fans are (correctly) calling Healy a problematic person and someone with uncomfortably racist and bigoted views. They can?t believe that Taylor would dump a ?good guy? like Joe Alwyn to carry on with this chaotic and bigoted bad-boy. The snake fam is so mad that they?re bringing up all of Taylor?s old problematic behavior too and it?s glorious. I love it all.
she was parading tom all over the world, beinging him to her 4th of july vacation, hanging out with his mom within weeks, bringing him to selena's concert, making him wear i heart t swift shirt only to call him a getaway later, y'all really think hatty mealy is important? https://t.co/9y7voGRVFI pic.twitter.com/hI5VgWsRLq
