'Nearly?'

Ben Affleck says working with then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez a few years ago nearly ruined his career.

"Nearly?"

The couple's high-profile romance went on to provoke a tabloid backlash, culminating in the 2003 box office flop Gigli.

And the actor is now convinced that bringing his personal life into the spotlight was damaging to his career.

He says, "If I have a big regret, it was doing the music video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on."

Really? Moved on to what?

Got news for you Ben. Gigli did not "nearly" ruin anything for you.

At least you have Sidney Bristow to keep you warm, though.

(I know, I know - celebrity gossip and all that - but it doesn't have to be politics all the time, does it?)
