It looks like Virgo will have to wait until the DVD to see herself.

NEW YORK - A wedding scene with Ben Affleck (news) and Jennifer Lopez (news) has been scrapped from director Kevin Smith (news)'s upcoming "Jersey Girl," according to Us Weekly magazine.

"I didn't know if (it was right) to leave it in," Smith is quoted as saying in the March 8 issue. "People might forget they're watching a picture, like, `Wait, didn't these two NOT get married?'"

Affleck and Lopez were supposed to have married last September, but abruptly postponed their lavish plans "due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding." They have since ended their engagement.

"Jersey Girl" is set for release March 26.

I completely understand why Kev felt the need to do this, but I really wish he hadn't. I hate to see celebrity gossip reshape a fictional film. But, in reality, I guess it's the way it has to be.
