The show that follows our local news is “Entertainment Tonight”
One evening the co-host was talking with so much delight
She was referring to Jennifer Lopez on this particular day
Emphasizing the rings JLo has collected along the way
From what I was able to glimpse, her rings have increased with every new guy
Paving the way for Ben Affleck on the size that he’ll have to buy
Inferring that he’ll have to top it with more carats if he wants to succeed
Poor Ben will have to shell out more cash for this relationship to proceed
I believe the moniker for this reunion is now Bennifer 2.0
Trust me Miss Lopez you have a long way to go
These aren’t the first celebrities to take a roll of the dice
By having a partnership with the same person twice
If she is able to get a more expensive bangle from Ben
Chances are the quantity accumulated by her won’t crack the top ten
As far as wealth goes, this doesn’t go far
An actress from yesteryear has set quite a high bar
This woman has been married a few times I agree
Meanwhile Jennifer has stalled after three
The woman I refer to was married eight times in all
She also took in a suitor for a second call
Back then you got married because you had something to fear
Getting caught performing adultery could finish your career
Celebrities have a lot more freedom today
Unfortunately their lives are on full display
They don’t have the luxury of being able to go to and fro
The Paparazzi will follow them wherever they go
Relationships change so much when they are building their fame
Breakups and make ups are just part of the game
This is a compromise that they have to bear
Their entire lives are exposed for everyone to share
In the glory days of Hollywood this certainly wasn’t the case
If you were caught in a scandal, you were put in your place
You couldn’t live out of wedlock, you had to unite
That was the circumstances and they had to be done right
That’s why there were so many marriages and divorces in that day
If you wanted to survive in the industry, it was the price that you’d pay
Elizabeth Taylor was an actress that was one of the best of all time
She was also the highest paid performer when she was in her prime
She was wedded eight times to seven different men
Richard Burton was the one she decided to marry again
Burton bought her two rings that even today are hard to realize
The first was thirty three carats and the second was 66 carats in size
They auctioned off all of Taylor’s jewelry when she left this earth
One hundred and sixty eight million is what they were worth
What would she have done with Jennifer’s bling?
Chances she probably use them for a toe ring
