Ben Affleck

[eldemarge]

Ginger, if it makes you feel better, I've disliked him ever since Chasing Amy. I got the "slimy fratboy" vibe off of him. And I refuse to watch any of his movies (except the ones where you don't see him that much like Dogma or Dazed and Confused). My best friend also can't stand him and I still haven't been able to show her Dazed and Confused just because he's in it.
So bash away!

They are photographed everywhere because they won't confirm anything such as the engagement and the pregnancy.

And what would people say if they held a press conference to confirm these things like TomKat. They're damned if they do and damned if they do not. I like that they aren't all over the place professing their love. They aren't at tons of premiers together, or on the covers of magazines talking about their twue wuv. I think it is low key comparatively. People will talk, but they are not responding, which I like.

And when they don't respond, they still have cameras on them 24/7 and they are still consistently in the tabloids and magazines. Nobody is saying that they should be like TomKat, which is a very extreme case. All I am saying is that while being everywhere and commenting on everything like TomKat is famewhorish, I feel like not talking about anything but having your publicist deliver half truths for you only put mroe fuel on the fire, it doesn't dim. There is no surprise that the media glare on Ben and Jen has been higher for the past few months because they DON'T comment on things that will fuel interest. Many low key couples comment and still maintain their private lifestyles. So I don't know why it will be different for Ben and Jen, especially when they have nothing else interesting about them anyway.

Is it possible for him to look worse than this?

Yes.

He may have been sick in that picture, but it is one of the funniest things I've seen. He looks like Ben the Ape Boy all hunched over like that, like he's about to jump into the trees and brachiate back to the house.

They're married. And expecting.

Anyone surprised?

Was Matt at the wedding? All I've heard is Victor Garber.

As has been reported everywhere Ben Affleck married pregnant Jennifer Garner. Karma is a bitch, Ben Affleck married Jennifer Garner because he knocked her up, little miss no scandals about me Jennifer Garner, I'm a Garner Girl, I'm so good I don't even have my ears pierced. I haven't seen it anywhere that Matt Damon was at the wedding, not have your best friend at the "happiest" day in your life there to share it with you, I guess what's the point it's not like Ben really considers himself married anyway.

I haven't seen it anywhere that Matt Damon was at the wedding

That's probably because nobody has yet found out the details of the wedding. Victor Garber is the only guest they seem to know about, and that's because he was photographed with Garner at the airport. I really doubt the wedding consisted solely of Ben, Jen, a minister, and Victor Garber, so I'd wait before making pronouncements about who was or wasn't there.

Did I call Jennifer Garner a homewrecking whore? No I did not. Nor did I say she was a mantrapping skank. I think this was accident, because who afterall plans a pregnancy with Ben Affleck six months into a relationship? Considering who she married, there no way it will last, Ben has too many issues. I hope she has a happy and healthy pregnancy and good luck to her because considering who she married, she will need more than most.

And now I will post what you want to hear:

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are so cuuute together and so much in love, squeeee they just got married, oh that's so great, and she will have a baby girl. Best wishes to the happy couple. Jennifer is so lucky she has a wonderful husband in Ben Affleck, she couldn't have picked a better man.

Jennifer Garner isn't the first actress who got pregnant and then later married her boyfriend (Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow). It's really not that scandalous - having that happen isn't all that rare and doesn't mean that the woman is a man-trapping skank.

Thank you for that. It's not as if Ben was absent at the time the child was conceived.

Damn. ITA here, and I hate both of them.
