Why Ya Gotta Be So Hard on Gigli?

“It’s got Ben Affleck as a big, dumb mook, and, well, he’s pretty good at it. And it’s got Jennifer Lopez playing her most interesting character since Out of Sight But those two are the reason that Gigli arrived with such built-in hostility from moviegoers and critics, because this was the film where the duo met and fell into the PDA-heavy romance that become such a constant, unceasing annoyance in the months that followed. It was a classic example of buyer’s remorse — through tabloids and entertainment ‘news’ programs, we couldn’t get enough Bennifer coverage, and then, in the blink of an eye, we’d had enough, we were done with them, and we didn’t want to see anything that had anything to do with them.” Yeah! Sheesh. Actually, no , but still. [ Flavorwire ]

Jennifer Garner: Pregnant With Third Child!

Already parents to two beautiful daughters, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are getting ready for another baby! She’s pregnant, according to reports! The couple, along with Violet, 5 1/2, and Seraphina, 2 1/2 – are “thrilled” to be expecting their third child, they confirmed to the Associated Press. Here’s Jen out with soon-to-be-big sister Seraphina: Garner and Affleck, both 39, have each spoken of being hands-on parents. Garner said juggling acting and motherhood gave her a “split personality.” “[I] feel like half my brain is somewhere else all the time, but when the camera’s rolling, I pull it together and focus for two minutes,” she has said. “Then I kind of turn back to a ditz again.” A ditz and a great mom. Congratulations to the happy couple … and sorry to J. Lo, who won’t be getting back together with Ben anytime soon. [Photo: WENN.com]

Ben Affleck Responds as House Republicans Forge Unity With Inappropriate Clip From The Town

If or when you ever think things are irretrievably toxic in Hollywood, at least keep in mind that its barons get things accomplished. (Even if those things occasionally mean Jack and Jill .) Not so much out in Washington, D.C., where the ongoing stalemate over the debt-ceiling increase has escalated to unprecedented levels of partisan brinksmanship. Now we’re hearing about Hollywood actually influencing the rhetoric among House Republicans — and not in a good way.

Roommate of Mike Starr Details Rocker’s Final Hours, Drug Use

The day after former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr was found dead in his home, we may have a better idea of what led to this tragedy. While autopsy results have not been revealed, Starr’s roommate tells TMZ his friend was “mixing” methadone and anxiety medication hours before he died. He had reportedly been using the former in an effort to get sober, while downing the latter to deal stress from his arrest last month. Says the roommate: “Mike was a beautiful person who was fighting to stay sober… I am going to miss him greatly.”
