Baby and Bump Obsession The Affectionate Afflecks and the perfect family weekend Last week some tabloid reported that Jennifer Garner was givin’ it to Ben Affleck after the Oscars for saying their marriage was “work”.

Douchebags Why don’t you make it more obvious? Here’s what I wrote in the intro to the site last Thursday: “...curiously enough, the prom king hasn’t been seen with his kids since Sunday. Coincidence or conspiracy? Maybe he’ll emerge on the weekend out of obligation, just so it won’t seem so obvious.” For weeks By Lainey • Mar 04, 2013 11:54 am
Media Manipulation Ben shaves his playoff beard I’m telling you, that’s why the Patriots lost in the Super Bowl to the Giants the first time, in Phoenix. They were undefeated that season.

Media Manipulation Ben Affleck Don Draper Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are going strong, and despite the Oscar snub, my goodness is it paying off. Is Argo pretty much a lock for Best Picture at this point? (I hated it, did anyone else hate it? [Lainey: I liked it very much.] And I usually really enjoy By Maria • Feb 15, 2013 04:40 pm
Media Manipulation Campaign Faces Jennifer Garner did indeed accompany Ben Affleck to the BAFTAs. Must leave nothing to chance. Not until February 24. Not until the big show. She’s the Mellie Grant of Hollywood. Which is why while Bradley Cooper and the rest were getting sweaty and messy at the BAFTA parties, the By Lainey • Feb 11, 2013 03:14 pm
