Ben Affleck just went up ten points in my estimation. First he marries the nicest celebrity around, and now he’s dealing with security at the airport just like everyone else. TMZ says Ben charmed the TSA staff while going through security at LA’s airport:

I wonder if security would have asked Affleck to ditch his screenplay if he’d had one with him. “But I’m an Oscar-winning writer!” “Yeah, right.”

Jennifer Garner was photographed out and about the past few days. Hoards of paparrazi followed her as she went to a hotel in Santa Monica to relax with a friend on Saturday. She was also seen in a parking garage on Friday, and out visiting friends with adorable Violet on 9/14.

Garner’s husband, Ben Affleck, has revealed that he deliberately took a two year sabbatical after several of his movies flopped. He is now starring in “Hollywoodland,” in which he gives a critically acclaimed performance as doomed 40s Superman actor George Reeves. He said:

Affleck has also praised Garner in recent interviews, calling her spectacular:

Affleck is a lucky guy, and he must be doing something right if he got Garner to marry him.

Despite recent speculation (uh, by me,) Garner does not look pregnant in these recent candids.

While promoting “Hollywoodland,” Ben Affleck said he’s not sure what his wife, Jennifer Garner, sees in him:

That’s kind of sweet and self-depricating. We hope these two have a long-lasting marriage and that Ben gets his career back.

There’s Oscar buzz around Ben’s performance as the troubled “Superman” actor George Reeves in “Hollywoodland.” Affleck even won the best actor award at the Venice Film Festival.

Pajiba says that Affleck’s performance is excellent, and that it’s a decent film worth seeing. It’s said to flip back and forth between two plots at different times without properly connecting them, and to feel unfinished. Overall it’s said to be worthwhile, and to have a film noir vibe.

Despite strong reviews, the box office returns on “Hollywoodland” are dissapointing. It took in only $1.8 million over the weekend.

Here’s Garner not looking pregnant at all - we were wrong - while out getting coffee on 9/8. I’m not obsessed has pictures of Garner and Affleck at the Hollywoodland premiere.

If you can sit through five nauseating minutes of Ben Affleck pawing a giddy French Canadian reporter you’ve got a stronger stomach than I do:

It was Sunday morning supposedly, so maybe he had a mimosa or two or he could be on some kind of prescription medicine. This interview is from 2004, so he wasn’t cheating on anyone yet and was probably high on life after narrowly escaping J.Lo’s clutches.

Thanks to Defamer for this gem of a find.

Jennifer Garner was in Arizona filming in 110 degree heat when she collapsed and fainted. Husband Ben Affleck rushed to be by her side, and flew from Boston to be with her as soon as he heard the news:

That’s terrible and I hope that Garner is ok. She’s one of my favorite actresses.

This just gets me thinking, though, that she could be pregnant again. It was rumored that she was pregnant, but people say she’s just having trouble losing that last little bit of baby weight, and Ben’s cousin told Celebrity Baby Blog that she’s definitely not pregnant. Still, Angelina fainted at the airport way back when and it turns out that she was in the early stages of her pregnancy. I’m just saying.

Here is Garner in an unknown photoshoot found at Jen-Fans.com.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck made a rare public appearance at the Red Sox Angels game in Boston yesterday. Unfortunately the Red Sox lost, 4-10.

Garner and Affleck have an eight month-old daughter, Violet, who was not with them at the game. They are reportedly planning a permanent move to Ben’s hometown of Cambridge, MA, after staying there for the Summer while Ben makes his directorial debut.

There have been rumors that Garner is pregnant with her second child, but a woman who claims to be a cousin of Ben Affleck’s writes to Celebrity Baby Blog that that’s definitely not true.

Jennifer Garner arrived in Boston from Arizona by private plane with her eight month-old daughter, Violet. She soon found out that the SUV that was transporting her back to Cambridge was not equipped with a carseat. She wasn’t having that, and set an example for celebrity moms everywhere by insisting that one be installed before she left:

Jen’s quite an intelligent woman, and she would never jeopardize her baby’s safety just to get somewhere a little faster.

Ben and Jen are said to be considering a permanent move to Cambridge. They are staying in the Boston suburb, home to MIT to Harvard, while Ben directs “Gone Baby Gone.” Ben’s mom and Jennifer’s sister live nearby, and sources say they may make it their home base:

I love it in Cambridge and always stay there when I visit Boston. It’s a bitch to drive around the city, but the subway is pretty logical and convenient, and it seems like a nice place to live.

Garner is rumored to be pregnant again, with Star Magazine saying that she recently left a medical building looking happy and talking on her cellphone, and eagle-eyed bloggers like us pointing out that her stomach is not perfectly flat. It doesn’t seem likely.

X17 online points out that Jennifer Garner’s got a bump on the set of her latest movie, thriller “The Kingdom.” It just looks like an unflattering shirt tucked in where it shouldn’t be, but you can never be sure. We were all over that “Nicole Kidman’s pregnant - now she isn’t” story, and we’ll continue to report the bump watch celebrities. We’re sure to be right once in a while.

Garner has a seven month-old daughter, Violet, with husband Ben Affleck. She may just be having trouble losing the baby weight, although she still looks great. It was reported a few months ago that she was planning on getting naked in her new film, “Sabbatical.” I wonder if that’s true and when it will start filming.

The pictures of Jen on set were supposedly taken on June 30th, and from Jen-Fans.com and are medium resolution. The candids of Jen in a white top are from X17online.com and are low resolution.

Jennifer Garner was offered the role of Pamela Ewing in the upcoming “Dallas” movie, but she decided not to do it after learning that J.Lo had already signed on to the project. Seems like Garner has a healthy fear of her husband’s big-bottomed Latina ex:

Garner has a happy relationship and a gorgeous baby with Affleck, the man who put a stop to J.Lo’s lavish wedding and gradually dumped her through passive aggressive behavior. Now all J.Lo has is a skeletal husband and a fat stomach that she wears mumus over in an attempt to get people to think it’s a baby bump.

It doesn’t matter how rich or successful J.Lo is, Garner will always be happier and more content because she’s just a genuinely kind, positive person. Judging from her decision to stay away from J.Lo, she has a lot of sense too.

Here’s Garner on the set of “Gone Baby Gone,” which Ben is directing, on 5/24. [via]

Ben Affleck had a migraine so bad he went to the emergency room yesterday:

Two hours is a pretty short period of time to get in and out of the emergency room on a holiday no less, and he was undoubtedly given star treatment.

This isn’t Ben’s first terrible headache. He admitted suffering from post-spinal tap headaches after a spinal tap to check for meningitis in 2004. (I had a spinal tap a while ago, and was laid up for like a week with a headache.)

The article says that Affleck is probably stressed from working as a first-time big budget director on the film
“Gone, Baby, Gone,” starring his brother Casey Affleck and now filming in his hometown of Cambridge, MA. That could be true but he should insist on an MRI. I have a friend from college who had terrible migraines and was told it was stress. It turns out she had a brain tumor. Last I heard from her a couple years ago she was doing fine a few months after surgery. True story.
