First of all, Jennifer Lopez really needs to stop pissing off her makeup artist. Her makeup at the Oscars was AWFUL. No one – and I mean NO ONE – should wear pink eyeshadow.

Anyway, this story is just for the people who want to relive the glory days of Bennifer 1.0. When Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were together, they were a glorious mess. He was gambling and uncomfortable, and she was trying too hard to make it work. She styled him like a Ken Doll. He got lap dances from strippers. She was married to her second husband when they met. Ben actually worked hard to win her. They did hilariously awkward interviews together. Ben rubbed her butt in a music video. It was glorious time. In the past five years or so, Ben has given lots of interviews about his regrets in the Bennifer 1.0 years. It’s still on his mind, and (just my opinion) some of his interviews could be read as particularly insulting to J.Lo. He really regrets that whole situation.

So, Ben and J.Lo were both at the Oscars on Sunday. Ben did not walk the carpet and he was only there to present Best Director. I’m pretty sure he came alone – Jennifer Garner was not there. I think J.Lo’s date was her manager Benny. And then this happened:

For some celebrities, attending the Oscars means navigating their way through a minefield of exes. For Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, however, it felt like old times.

During the 87th Annual Academy Awards, the exes had a brief, off-camera reunion during a commercial break. After Laura Poitras’s Citizenfour won the award for Best Documentary Feature, Affleck walked over to Lopez, who was seated in the front row. According to ABC News, Affleck whispered something into Lopez’s ear, and she playfully smacked his arm. After reuniting with Lopez, Affleck moved down the aisle and whispered something in Best Actor nominee Bradley Cooper’s ear. The American Sniper star didn’t slap Affleck, however.

Sigh… I mess them!!!!! They were so much fun. I’d like to think this was just a little flirtation – after all, Jennifer has said that while she has regrets about that time, she still cares about Ben and wishes him well. I like that he went over to her and told her some joke or something and they got to have a moment.

Oh, and by the way – we’re pretty sure that Jennifer is back with Casper Smart. She’s just keeping it really quiet these days. I guess we have to give her credit for being self-aware enough to feel ashamed for going back to him.
