...RAZZIES, of course. Twisted Evil

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez' real-life romance crashed and burned. Now, the two are front-runners for worst on-screen love affair.

Affleck and Lopez' mob/comedy bomb Gigli had a leading 9 nominations - among them worst picture and worst screen couple - for the Razzies, an annual spoof of the Academy Awards that mocks the year's most awful movies.

Mike Myers' storybook adaptation The Cat in the Hat and From Justin to Kelly, featuring American Idol stars Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini, came in second with 8 nominations each, including worst picture.

The other worst-picture nominees announced Monday were the crime romp Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and the reality-TV adaptation of The Real Cancun.

Gigli also was in the running for worst actor and actress, supporting actors (Al Pacino and Christopher Walken), supporting actress (Lainie Kazan), and worst director and screenplay (Martin Brest). Affleck's worst-actor nomination also cited his performances in Daredevil and Paycheck, while Walken's nomination also was for his role in Kangaroo Jack.

A spokesman for Lopez said last week that she and Affleck had broken up after a year and a half of tabloid gossip about their wedding plans, which they abruptly called off last September. The roughly 500 Razzies voters probably were swayed by rumors about Affleck and Lopez' relationship.

"Ostensibly, we're talking about their on-screen performances, but I'm sure all the endless twaddle about their personal lives played into their being nominated," said Razzies founder John Wilson. "But it is an embarrassingly bad movie, and unfortunately, it's not a fun, bad movie."

Nominations for the 24th annual Razzies, organized by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, were announced a day before the Oscar nominations. Razzie "winners" will be announced Feb. 28, a day before the Oscar ceremony.

Myers and Guarini joined Affleck in the worst-actor lineup, along with Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Boat Trip, The Fighting Temptations, and Radio) and Ashton Kutcher (Cheaper by the Dozen, Just Married, and My Boss's Daughter).

Besides Lopez, the worst-actress category included Clarkson, Angelina Jolie (Beyond Borders and Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle co-stars Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz. Barrymore's nomination also cited her role in Duplex.

The $100 million hit Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over brought another nomination for all-time Razzie champ Sylvester Stallone, who was cited for worst supporting actor. Stallone has a record 30 Razzie nominations and 9 wins, including worst actor of the 20th century.

"He plays 5 different characters, none of them well, in Spy Kids 3-D," Wilson said. "He can claim he was in a movie that made $100 million, but he's still Sylvester Stallone."

Besides Stallone, Pacino and Walken, supporting-actor nominees were Anthony Anderson (Kangaroo Jack) and Alec Baldwin (The Cat in the Hat). Joining Kazan in the supporting-actress category were Demi Moore (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle), Kelly Preston (The Cat in the Hat), Brittany Murphy (Just Married), and Tara Reid (My Boss' Daughter).
