Pregnant Jennifer Garner the 'Perfect Mom'
Originally posted 07/23/2008 02:10PM
With sources confirming Jennifer Garner is four months pregnant with her second child with Ben Affleck, the couple are being praised as loving, attentive parents.
Joey Parsi, owner of the indoor L.A. playground Giggles N' Hugs, where the actress recently visited with daughter Violet, 2, says Garner, 36, is "the perfect mom, and, trust me, I've seen hundreds of mothers in here."
Affleck, 35, also is "totally insane about Violet," says one of his longtime friends. "I know how much he enjoys being a parent. He gushes over Violet. He says she's really smart, she's really verbal and she's got a funny personality. He's happy to be a father and she's happy to be a mother."

The Afflecks and Damons Go on Double Date
Originally posted 06/29/2008 06:00PM
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck met up with Matt Damon and his pregnant wife, Luciana, at Nobu Malibu on Saturday night for a two-hour dinner on the patio that included cooked fish and sushi rolls.
"Ben and Matt were entertaining the girls with stories, and they were all laughing a lot," says an observer of the couples.
When dessert came, the celebratory group toasted – after all, Garner and Affleck's third wedding anniversary was the following day.
"Jen and Ben were in a great mood, and they left Nobu hand in hand," says the observer. Also spotted at Nobu Saturday night: Kate Hudson, back in L.A. following last week's Santa Barbara getaway with Lance Armstrong.

Ben Affleck Travels to the Congo
Originally posted 06/26/2008 09:00AM
His last small-screen appearance was a light-hearted affair – but this time Ben Affleck is tackling far more serious material.
The actor recently traveled to the Congo – where four million people have been killed in the decade-long conflict, according to the International Rescue Committee. And Thursday night, ABC's Nightline will air a special documentary on his eye-opening journey.
"Congo is in terrible shape," Affleck (who has traveled to the country three times in the last eight months) says in the segment. "What's going on here in the this country is a humanitarian disaster."

Justin Timberlake Leads All-Star Lakers Fans
Originally posted 06/13/2008 09:20AM
All the star power in the world couldn't keep the Lakers from blowing a 24-point lead in their devastating loss to the Boston Celtics Thursday night at L.A.'s Staples Center.
"Good for Boston," Will Smith graciously conceded to PEOPLE after the Celtics' 97-91 win. He was followed to the exits by a grim-faced Jack Nicholson, a dejected Penny Marshall and disconsolate Justin Timberlake.
But the crowd – which included L.A. supporters Denzel Washington, Tobey McGuire, David Beckham, Nicky Hilton, Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Dustin Hoffman and Fergie – did contain a few Boston fans.

Ben Affleck's Turn to Speak Out on Jimmy Kimmel Video
Originally posted 02/27/2008 07:00PM
They're the hottest new couple in Hollywood, and now Ben Affleck is speaking out about how he hooked up with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for their parody video response to Matt Damon and Sarah Silverman – as well as the secret bathtub scene that got cut.
Affleck tells EW.com: "I remember seeing Matt's [video] and thinking to myself, 'Oh, it would be funny to do one with me and Jimmy.' They called and immediately I was like, 'Yes, it should be this idea ...,' and they had the same idea more or less already. I have a lot of respect for the group over there – they're really good comedians – so I just committed to it."
The actor says the singing was more difficult than wearing a pair of short shorts, but he acknowledges, "You couldn't really do it half-speed. You had to be painting toes and blow-drying hair. At one point we were going to take a bath together, but the bubbles couldn't get high enough, so that ended up getting scrapped."

Jimmy Kimmel: Ben Affleck 'Could Not Have Been More Sporting'
Originally posted 02/27/2008 08:40AM
Jimmy Kimmel really does love Ben Affleck.
The talk show host – who memorably declared "I'm F---king Ben Affleck" in a music video Sunday night – cannot stop singing the actor's praises.
"Ben could not have been more sporting," he told PEOPLE of his video costar. (The song was designed as a retaliation against Kimmel's girlfriend Sarah Silverman for her clip, "I'm F---king Matt Damon.) "He told us, 'Listen, if we’re going to do this, we’ve got to do it right. I don’t want you guys to worry about my image.' "

Jimmy Kimmel Preps Revenge Song for Sarah Silverman – with Ben Affleck?

All's fair in love and war, especially as far as Jimmy Kimmel is concerned.
Having had his girlfriend Sarah Silverman reveal to him – and the entire world – that, behind his back, "I'm f---ing Matt Damon" (as she did on the ABC late-night show earlier this month), Kimmel is now set to uncover his surreptitious sleeping partner.
And that would be Ben Affleck, reports the New York Post's Page Six.
