Lopez fine with Taylor comparisons

NEW YORK -- With two marriages behind her and a third planned, Jennifer Lopez knows she's been compared to the oft-wedded Elizabeth Taylor. And she's fine with that.

"I'm not mad if people call me the modern-day Liz Taylor," Lopez tells InStyle magazine for its January issue.

Lopez's first two marriages, to waiter-model Ojani Noa and dancer Cris Judd, lasted about a year each. Now the 32-year-old singer-actress is engaged to Ben Affleck.
