Jennifer Lopez was on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday to promote her new movie ‘Maid in Manhattan’ and promote her fragarances and lotions, which Dave managed to drink — perhaps he swapped the tube with something edible, as even Lopez tasted it. She also talked about fiance Ben Affleck and having another go at marriage. Read on for a transcript.

I like the David Letterman show, but I find the constant applause after every comment he makes very annoying. Why is there so much applause in his show? It’s ridiculous!
