Jennifer Lopez is set to clean house with a car boot sale to beat them all when she sells off presents from her ex, Ben Affleck.

Likely lots include their engagement ring (£1.2m), a Bentley car (£80,000) and fur coat (£30,000).

Happier times

The Daily Star reports that J.Lo feels the ring is jinxed, because she wore it when the she and Ben briefly reunited recently.

She reportedly told a friend: "I should have listened to my gut instinct.

"I should never have put that ring back on my finger. It's cursed."

If the sale goes ahead, it is not clear who will benefit.

The paper reports that J.Lo wants to give the proceeeds to children's charities around the world.

Her old school has asked for help to build a new playground and classrooms.

Claire La Tempa, principal of the Holy Family School in New York is hoping to persuade her to give back something to her old elementary school.

It seems J.Lo has not yet decided whether to use a traditional auction house or go online.
