BEN AFFLECK’S GENTLE REMINDER TO JENNIFER LOPEZ

He already has his two front teeth, so this year all Ben Affleck wants for Christmas is for his wife Jennifer Lopez to be on time. Jennifer has an unfortunate habit of running late (she’s often overbooked and frantic) and keeping nearly everyone waiting, including Ben. Even though Jen has so much on her plate with her career, business ventures and motherhood, her tardiness drives punctual Ben batty. To sweeten the deal, he’s stuffing her stocking this year with a rare Audemars Piguet diamond watch – hoping that it will be a pleasant way to remind her to be on time in 2024.

TAYLOR SWIFT HAS A BIG SURPRISE FOR HER AND TRAVIS’S MOMS

Taylor Swift is known for her friendship bracelets but now she’s elevated that cute gesture. Taylor’s mom Andrea is set to meet her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s mom Donna this Monday. According to my source, Taylor has a special SURPRISE planned for the moms: matching diamond bracelets! Taylor shelled out $58,000 each (that’s a total of $116,000 plus tax) for two matching 18k Cartier Love bracelets each dripping with 216 diamonds! Considering Taylor has just reached BILLIONAIRE status, that’s a drop in the bucket, but nonetheless a huge gesture -considering the romance is relatively new. My source suspects that 34-year-old Taylor is ready to settle down and it looks like Travis might just be the one who snags her -but only time will tell.

LAUREN SANCHEZ IS TAKING NO CHANCES WITH THAT RING

She’s marrying one of the world’s wealthiest men, but the 20 PLUS carat diamond engagement ring Lauren Sanchez is flaunting all over her European summer vacation is FAKE! Although Lauren and her fiancée Jeff Bezos travel with more security than a small nation, she’s smart enough to keep her real ring safely stashed in a vault. Lauren is well aware that even the wealthiest people have been robbed while vacationing in Europe (oil heiress Barbara Davis and Kim Kardashian are just two victims of jewel heists.) According to my source, Lauren had an exact duplicate of her ring created. Not only is she concerned about a jewel heist, but she doesn’t want to risk LOSING the ring in the ocean while she’s jumping off her yacht in the Mediterranean.

CARDI B AND OFFSET: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN?

Cardi B and Offset have the same taste in jewelry and often wear each other’s diamonds. We are particularly amused by the accessories they wore to Drake’s Super Bowl party. Cardi is flashing a diamond Playboy bunny on her diamond chain because she has been named the first ever Playboy Creative Director and will be contributing to a new platform called CENTERFOLD. Playboy says she is ”the embodiment of the Playboy brand.” Offset, on the other hand, is wearing a diamond Jesus head under his Thom Browne sweater – perhaps because he has been arrested a number of times and served time in prison on gun and drug charges.

THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT: JENNIFER LAWRENCE RAKES IN THE BUCKS

#jenniferlawrence #janetcharlton

Believe it or not. “Silver Linings Playbook” star Jennifer Lawrence was paid $100,000 to wear these subtle Chopard diamond earrings to The Golden Globes. And we wouldn’t be surprised if she gets to keep them. Can you IMAGINE what she’ll rake in to wear diamonds to the Oscars? It’s staggering…

ANGELINA’S RING WAS WORTH WAITING A YEAR FOR

We’ve seen a lot of oversize diamond rings flashed around Hollywood and they all supposedly had astronomical prices. It was doubtful that the gems were top quality and obviously the value was exaggerated. BIG isn’t everything. Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring is different. It’s spectacular in its design simplicity and obvious quality and almost has an art deco feeling. Brad did an artful job of designing – it’s even better than the ring he did for Jennifer Aniston. And nobody’s bragging about the high price. This exquisite ring is going to be knocked off like crazy – somebody in China is probably already wearing one.

JENNIFER LOPEZ WANTS TO ERASE EVERY MEMORY OF HER MARRIAGE

There’s no doubt that Jennifer Lopez is living it up to the max since she filed for divorce from Marc Anthony. She’s hot again – performing on TV, doing movies, and vacationing with her young boyfriend Casper Smart. She’s also quietly selling off ALL the jewelry Marc gave her while they were married. He was very generous and showered her with diamonds (including that big engagement ring) but she wants NONE of it. Her mood is that the marriage is over and she wants to start fresh.

DIAMONDS ARE NOT COURTNEY LOVE’S BEST FRIEND

Courtney Love is in New York wearing some unflattering reading glasses. She’s on the phone, probably trying to talk her way out of that jewelry lawsuit. Believe it or not, New York jeweler Jacob & Co lent her some pricey diamonds to wear to an event in September and SOMEHOW they got lost. (She claims she gave them to the staff at the Mercer Hotel to return for her.) Now she owes Jacob around $100,000 but we can’t figure out why anyone in their right mind would lend Courtney expensive jewelry. We’ve heard that it’s VERY difficult to collect when Courtney owes you money….

DID KIM KARDASHIAN BUY HER OWN TWO MILLION DOLLAR ENGAGEMENT RING?

Kris Humphries has brought us back to the days when women like Elizabeth Taylor and Zsa Zsa Gabor judged their men by the size of the diamonds they received from them. Men liked the show off their wealth to impress acquisitive women who “sold out” to the highest bidder. Even Liz and Zsa Zsa would be shocked to learn that a woman who gained fame by selling her own x-rated sex video received an engagement ring worth two million dollars! (Of course we’re guessing it was BOUGHT for considerably less) But let’s analyze this. Two million is a year’s salary for Kris. Kim Kardashian earns twenty or thirty times as much as Kris. Hollywood insiders believe that Kim bought the ring HERSELF and arranged the proposal for maximum publicity (with a little help from her mom Kris Jenner.) She wants the world to know what she’s worth!

CHARLIE SHEEN TRUMPS THE DONALD IN TAMPA

Charlie Sheen’s performance in Tampa didn’t pull in a full house – around 1800 people showed up, and the venue held 3000, but the crowd didn’t do a lot of booing or walking out. Charlie told a funny Donald Trump story that an audience member shared with us. Charlie said that a few years back he went to dinner with Trump and Donald told him “I like you, so I’m giving you this gift from Harry Winston.” It was a pair of silver and diamond cufflinks that Trump bragged was “worth $100,000.” Charlie was surprised and grateful and a few years later happened to have the cufflinks appraised. He was informed that the links were cubic zirconium and worth “about $60.”
