On topic: I am not a fan of either of them, but that was a cute video. That video clip was more effective as PR than any (staged) pap shot of Ben and Jennifer Garner out with their kids. Jennifer Garner is there for Ben, ride-or-die. From the rumors Ben seems really into her on a good day. That clip was apparently on a good day.

^^^^ I'm not sure that he's specifically referring to the J. Lo period as he is his life as he knows it now. Long after J.Lo, he's been under the microscope, with lots of public judgments, some of which have been true, some of which haven't. I imagine he did relate to that wariness pretty easily. The writer is the one who mentions Bennifer in the editorial...Ben doesn't cite it specifically, unless I'm misreading. That's how I read it, too. And even if he IS talking about being in the tabloids during his time with J.Lo, that's his experience, too, and he's speaking about it from that viewpoint of identifying with the 'under the microscope' aspect of the character in "Gone, Girl."

That video is ADORABLE. Please stay together for the sake of that sweet little girl laughing in the background! I personally don't see the big deal with his gambling. I know, I come from a screwed up family who drank and gambled like crazy, but he's got the cash, let him do it. My brother-in-law, btw - is also a card counter and has been tossed out of casinos.

If gambling were his only vice, I think it may not be that big of a deal. However, since reports of gambling corresponded with flare ups of other vices (the substance abuse, other women during the "Bennifer" era, i.e. the bad old days), I think that's why people are more concerned about this new set of gambling rumors.

That, and apparently he was spending days at a time sitting in a casino at a table. Which isn't normal. I get worried when I see video-game players do that, too. It's more about not participating or interacting with your life and the life around you that's the problem. If he's managing to just sit at a table for an hour or two every once in awhile, then yeah, that's fine and he's managing it. But it sounds like he wasn't during the JLo period.

The ice bucket challenge is cute. Not as cute as Emily Blunt's (no way she wasn't in on that one!) but still cute! That's all I got.

It was a cute video. For their family's sake, I hope all the rumors about Ben are greatly exaggerated (it's possible).

He's getting some very good reviews for Gone Girl and apparently there's a side view of little Ben briefly on display.

Ahh!! I can't WAIT for Gone Girl! It's so nice to hear that an adaptation of a book I liked might actually be good. I was kind of iffy on Ben playing Nick, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
