Ha ha... Wouldn't have made any significant difference.

Color though ain't got nuthin' to do with whether or not a person is classy or has character, ideals and ambition.
I guess you're not a baseball fan @taf2002. ARod was a very famous player back-in-the-day. He started out in Seattle, then Texas. He was supposed to go to the Boston Red Sox, but Steinbrenner made a deal to bring him to the Yankees, where ARod secretly wanted to play anyway. Despite his huge talent, ARod always seemed to envy Derek Jeter. In any case, ARod's tenure with the Yankees was rocky. Some fans believe ARod coming to the Yankees somehow led to breaking the Red Sox curse that followed Babe Ruth leaving the Red Sox for the Yankees, or something like that. It was really strange in 2004 when the Yankees were ahead 3 to 0 in the playoffs against the Red Sox and only needed one more win, but strangely the Red Sox came all the way back to win and later ended up winning the elusive World Series. There was something curious about the final score as well in the 3 to 0 game, something like 19 to 8, which signaled 1918, the last time the Red Sox had won the World Series (I could be mistaken on the details). It was awhile ago.
Anyway, ARod went through a lot of ups-and-downs in New York. He was not hugely popular with the fans in the way the amazing cool, calm, collected, heroic Derek Jeter was! It's kinda fitting that ARod and JLo found each other. They seem made for each other -- both very ambitious and having gone through a lot of travails in their lives and persevered. I'm quite sure M&H and A&J had fun talking about raising children and dealing with life in the high profile spotlight.

Methinks JLo actually aspires to be like Meghan, and Meghan likely not only aspired to be like JLo, she was like JLo in ambitiously going on auditions, working hard to be a success and never giving up. At this stage, they both surely have a lot to talk about regarding the highs and lows of a career in acting, particularly as women of color. In her career, Meghan learned how to network and I'm sure JLo has always been on top of that skill too.
I hope everyone approves of the new thread title.
SHARPIE said:... maybe that brat Savannah will become less spoiled and entitled now.
How do you know that Savannah is a spoiled brat though? She just seems to be cheeky, funny and mischievous, judging by her shenanigans with equally mischievous Prince George on the BP balcony.
In any case, it's hard on any kid when their parents get divorced.
I suppose Autumn had her fill of the gilded cage, and there really weren't enough perks nor any tiaras involved in her close proximity life to major royals. But who knows what happened exactly. Marriages aren't easy whether or not they involve royalty.
