  • Ben Affleck On Jennifer Garner’s “Vanity Fair” Article: “She’s Allowed to Talk About It”

    Ben Affleck broke his silence about Jennifer Garner’s recent Vanity Fair interview, in which she shared details about the demise of their marriage.

    The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star opened up in an interview with the New York Times, saying, “She felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over with so she could say, ‘Look, I already talked about it—I don’t want to do it again.’”

    “It’s fine,” Affleck added. “She’s allowed to talk about it.”

    Ben Affleck is incredibly generous, isn’t he? After allegedly cheating on Jennifer Garner with nanny Christine Ouzounian, he acknowledged that his ex-wife has the right to talk about his transgressions.

    What a guy.

    Ben Affleck went on to say some incredibly kind things about the woman he supposedly cheated on.

    “Jen’s great. She’s a great person,” he said. “We’re on great terms. I just saw her this morning, so that’s the reality that I live in.”

    The reality that Ben Affleck lives in seems like a pretty good one–don’t you think? He (allegedly) cheats on his wife, gets to live with or near his children, and his ex-wife goes on vacation with them–for the sake of the children.

    Ben Affleck got to have his cake and eat it, too. In fact, it sounds like he got two slices.

    What’s your take on Ben Affleck’s thoughts on Jennifer Garner divulging details about the destruction of their marriage? Do you think he might have worded things a bit differently instead of saying she is “allowed” to talk about it?

    Does something about that not sit right with you–and if so, how must Jennifer Garner have reacted when she read it in the New York Times?

  • Ben Affleck: Phoenix Suns Poke Fun at His Back Tattoo

    Ben Affleck must have been in a divorce fog a few months ago, when he got the imagine of a giant phoenix tattooed on his back. Since then he’s been poked fun of by everyone from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner to his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez. Now the Phoenix Suns have hopped aboard the “pick on Ben Affleck” train as well.

    The NBA’s Phoenix Suns took to Twitter on Wednesday, suggesting a far better tattoo alternative for Ben Affleck.

    It was just days before that Jennifer Lopez–while a guest on Watch What Happens Live—told Andy Cohen Ben Affleck’s new tattoo is “awful,” and that it has “too many colors.”

    Since neither of the Jennifers like Ben Affleck’s tattoo, who do you suppose urged him to get inked or assured him it was a work of inked art?

    Maybe Christine Ouzounian–the nanny with whom Ben Affleck allegedly cheated on Jennifer Garner–is a fan of giant colorful tattoos.

    What’s your take on Ben Affleck’s ink?

  • Jennifer Garner Talks “Miracles” She’s Experienced Since Starring in “Miracles from Heaven”

    Jennifer Garner stars in an upcoming film called Miracles from Heaven, and she recently shared the miracles she has experienced in her own life since playing the role.

    That first miracle is one of realization. In the film, Jennifer Garner plays the role of Christy Beam. Christy’s 10-year-old daughter Anna has a chronic disorder that is miraculously cured when she sustains a serious accident.

    Jennifer Garner realizes she lives a miracle every day when she observes her three healthy children.

    “I think for most of us, it’s playing pretend, but it’s a pretty real story,” she says in a recent interview with People magazine. “I don’t think you have to dig very deep when there’s a child. The great thing for us at the end of the day is we can shake it off and go home and be surrounded by health, and that perspective was a real gift to the movie.”

    The second miracle is a return to her roots.

    Jennifer Garner grew up attending church with her family every Sunday. As with many adults, life becomes busy. There are kids, careers, and a wealth of additional responsibilities. Sometimes going to church gets pushed onto that proverbial back burner.

    “I grew up going to church every Sunday,” Garner tells Entertainment Tonight. “Doing this film and being around people where church was normal, more normal than it is in Los Angeles.”

    “It kind of just made me think, ‘I’ve got to get on this,’” she adds. “So I talked to my kids, and they said, “Of course we’re ready to go.’ I said, ‘OK, we’ll go Sunday! It’s been a really nice thing for my family.”

    Going to church with her children is likely a healing balm for Jennifer Garner, too. In light of her recent split from hubby Ben Affleck, and acknowledging he cheated on her with the family’s nanny, Christine Ouzounian, she is surely experiencing her share of pain. A miracle of this type may be just what the actress needs.

    The mom of three worried about taking the role in Miracles from Heaven. It began production right around the time she and Ben Affleck announced their split. She feared being away for so long (it was filmed in Atlanta) would be very hard on her kids. Jennifer Garner says it was actually one of her children who convinced her to take the role.

    “She said, ‘Mom, it’s really your turn,” Garner says. “We’ll be OK. You should do it!’”

    Miracles come in all sorts of forms. It’s sometimes the little miracles, like realizing how fortunate you are or returning to church on Sundays, that make lives feel fulfilled or complete.

    Jennifer Garner fans can see her star in Miracles from Heaven, when the film hits the big screen on March 16.

    Have you experienced any of life’s little miracles recently?

  • Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Together for First Time Since Her Revealing Interview–Ben Dresses as Batman for Son’s Birthday Party

    Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were together on Saturday for the first time since her revealing interview, in which she divulged she knew Ben Affleck cheated on her with nanny Christine Ouzounian–but that the nanny wasn’t the cause of their divorce.

    “Let me just tell you something. We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation,” Garner said in a recent interview. “Bad judgment? Yes. It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives.”

    Jennifer Garner admitted she’s “had to have conversations,” with the couple’s three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, “about the meaning of ‘scandal.’”

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck presented a united front at their son Samuel’s fourth birthday party. The party theme was “superheroes,” and Ben Affleck stepped up to the plate to bring the theme to life. Affleck dressed up as Batman for the festivities.

    “He wanted a superhero birthday party and he wanted superheroes there, and I was like, ‘Alright, what heroes do you want?’ He’s ticking off heroes and he was like, ‘I want you to do Batman…real Batman!’” Ben Affleck said while chatting with Jimmy Kimmel during his post-Oscars special on Sunday night.

    Ben Affleck allegedly brought a “gift” to Jimmy Kimmel prior to that interview, when he smuggled Matt Damon onto the show.

    Both Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck attended the Oscars–however they didn’t attend together.

    Despite the scandal that has rocked their lives, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner truly seem to put their children’s well-being ahead of all else.

    Kudos to Ben Affleck for swallowing his pride and dressing up like Batman for son Samuel’s fourth birthday. That is no doubt something their little boy will never forget.

  • Jennifer Garner Ruined Her Marriage Even Before Ben Affleck and The Nanny, Matt Damon Allegedly Says

    According to Matt Damon, the marriage of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner had been nearly over even before Affleck cheated on her.

    Sources told OK Magazine that Garner also had her share in ruining their marriage, and Damon believes that Affleck is better off with another woman.

    “Matt believes Ben’s marriage was in shambles way before the nanny; there was too much anger there. If she had just loosened up a bit, things would have been different.” Apparently, Affleck affair with their kids’ nanny, Christine Ouzounian, was just part of their marital issues and had been the last straw that led to the split.

    But despite their rumored miserable separation and upcoming divorce, Garner and Affleck still continue with their co-parenting.

    Previously, reports said that Garner wanted Affleck out of their house, but recently, sources said they are still spending time together at their family home.

    “Nothing has changed,” a source told PEOPLE.

    The source added that while Affleck is no longer living in the main house, he is staying at a rental home nearby, making it easier for him to see Garner and the kids.

    In fact, Garner and Affleck went to church service last Sunday with their kids, Samuel, Violet, and Seraphina. They were also seen shopping in a local farmers market on the same day after which they also had dinner together.

    “They are working together and are keeping it amicable,” another source close to the couple previously told PEOPLE. “This is something they have been working on for over a year – and they continue to be strong unit.”

    Although things might have been nasty between them after the cheating scandal broke out, Garner and Affleck continue to remain friendly not just for the children but for themselves as well.

    “It’s not just for the kids – it’s also for them,” a source adds. “They care about each other.”

  • Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner See Kids Off to First Day of New School Year Amidst Rumors He’s Blowing Off Christine Ouzounian Phone Calls

    Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner looked like any other couple on Tuesday of this week, dropping their kids off for their first day of this new school year.

    A source tells PerezHilton.com, “They smiled and chatted during the morning run. There was no obvious tension between them.”

    Maybe things are better between the two because Ben Affleck has supposedly stopped taking Christine Ouzounian’s phone calls? She’s the former nanny that he is alleged to have cheated on Jennifer Garner with.

    Sources say Ben Affleck procured phones through which he and Christine Ouzounian could communicate at any time. When she hounded him constantly and appeared to be nothing more than an opportunist, he changed his phone number.

    Regardless of what is and isn’t true regarding Christine Ouzounian, it seems like things are going swimmingly for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. She has been spotted resuming her normal life in California–attending church on Sunday and running errands during the week. The two seem to be taking their co-parenting duties very seriously.

    “They were focused on making sure each kid had a good first day back at school,” the source added.

    While it’s sad that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are among this summer’s marriage tragedies, they seem completely focused on their children–and that’s more important than anything else.

  • Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Attend Couples Therapy–No Reconciliation in the Cards

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck attended what is being called a “marathon” counseling session recently, but despite their efforts there is no chance of a reconciliation in the cards. The session wasn’t to resolve their marital issues anyway, but was instead a meeting during which the two discussed some ground rules for raising their three children together from this point forward.

    The couple initially planned to live on the same property for a while until the children grew accustomed to the idea of a split. It’s a bit unclear if that plan is still under consideration in light of a few things Jennifer Garner has since learned.

    InTouch Weekly reports that Ben Affleck recently admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with nanny Christine Ouzounian. Since then, Jennifer Garner has been ready to get the divorce over with.

    It was back in June that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced that they were calling it quits after nearly 10 years of marriage. They are parents to daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel.

    It took a while for both Ben and Jen to take off their wedding rings, and even though she has seemingly done so for good, he is–at times–still spotted wearing his.

    Might Ben Affleck have realized he has given up a good thing–if in fact he did lose Jennifer Garner over an affair with Christine Ouzounian?

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been spotted running errands together recently. They seem to be trying to present a united front for their kids.

    This has been the summer of celebrity splits. Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert got divorced and Jon Hamm and his girlfriend of 18 years–Jennifer Westfeldt–just announced they were calling it quits, too.

    Do you expect Christine Ouzounian might be the reason behind Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s split or was she merely the icing on the cake?

  • Carla Gugino Takes Christina Hendricks’ Role Due To “Character Revamp”

    Carla Gugino has had a big summer; she starred with The Rock in San Andreas, which was an enormous, monstrous box office hit, and now she’s moving on to a Cameron Crowe-directed series Roadies.

    Gugino is taking over for Christina Hendricks, who was originally cast in the upcoming Showtime series. But there’s reportedly no bad blood between the actors; Hendricks says she loved working with Crowe, but the character evolved into a completely different being, requiring a different type of actress.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gugino will play Shelli, a “rock band’s production manager, a world-class multitasker, passionate music fan and tireless work partner to the band’s tour manager Bill” (played by Luke Wilson).

    This isn’t the first time Carla Gugino has appeared on Showtime; she had a guest-starring role on Californication alongside David Duchovny. As of now she can be seen on HBO’s The Brink.

    Gugino had a blockbuster on her hands with San Andreas, an action-packed film about an enormous earthquake that hits California and puts millions of lives–including those of The Rock’s ex-wife and daughter–in danger. The film wasn’t much of a stretch for Carla, who survived an earthquake once herself. She said in an interview earlier this year that she will never sleep naked in California again because of it.

    “I was in the Northridge quake in 1994, living in the Pacific Palisades with my boyfriend at the time. I woke up from a dead sleep. And I was sleeping naked, just in my birthday suit. I got up and I could not find any clothes – and the ground was shaking, things were falling. I was just going to run out of that house, just naked as the day I was born. But I finally found my robe on the ground. I put that robe on, and I have not, to this date, slept naked in California ever again!” Carla Gugino said.
