It’s embarrassing for Ben, who has to come up with an explanation, which always sounds lame, and they both know it’s because J.Lo can’t tolerate Jen in the same house. Garner is quite content in her life post-divorce and finds it sad and impolite that J.Lo can’t see that, but she’s not one to rise to the bait!”

Dear Fonseca
Several friends are calling me a bridezilla because I have asked my bridesmaids to go on a diet and start working out so they can look their best for my wedding day. Some of my friends are good with my request and say once you accept an invitation to be a bridesmaid you need to do everything you can to please the bride. My other friends say my request is over the line and I should just accept people for who they are. I've been dreaming of my wedding day since I was a little girl and want my bridesmaids to look perfect. Is my request out of bounds? Am I a bridezilla?
