Closer Magazine says Jennifer Garner is allegedly hesitant to invite Jennifer Lopez to her secret Summer wedding to John Miller. A source says, “John and Jen have quietly been engaged for a while now, they’ve just been very hesitant to make it public because they don’t want to deal with the frenzy it’s going to cause. Right now, the plan is to have it this summer and keep it very low key, which obviously it won’t be if J-Lo shows up. It’s not that Jennifer’s threatened by her, but the fact is they just don’t have any sort of bond. It’s her special day and Jen just wants people there who she is very close to. It’s put Ben in a very tough spot because he wants to be there for his kids, but there’s just no way J-Lo is going to accept this without making a huge fuss. Fact is, if Jen wants Ben there she may have to give in and invite J-Lo too, just to keep the peace.”

Dear Fonseca,
I work for a very well known family-owned business in the area. I am a manager and have a huge decision to make. A relative of one of the owners did something that was unacceptable. All of the other workers are looking at me to suspend him. I'm not sure what to do. If I suspend him, the other workers will see that I'm not showing favoritism and will respect me. The owners may be silently expecting me to cut him a break. On the other hand, they may be watching me closely to see if I have the courage to suspend him knowing he is related to them. Then again, the owners might fire me if I suspend him. What would you do if you were me? Suspend him or not?
