Showing no signs of slowing up on his career, it was just announced that Ben Affleck is in talks to star in, direct and produce the upcoming film ?Line of Sight.?
Warner Bros. is behind the action project, which is being produced by Joel Silver and Andrew Rona.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the plotline centers on an elite commando squad transporting cargo while dealing with a global threat. One of the conceits of the movie is that it tells the tale from a point-of-view akin to a first-person shooter game.
Mr Affleck is currently shooting ?Argo,? a drama set during the Iran hostage crisis involving a CIA team who goes undercover as a sci-fi film crew.

I’ll be damned. Jennifer Garner really is pregnant! When Kaiser called it over the weekend, I thought it was yet another false pregnancy report due to the unflattering outfits Garner usually wears. I’ve assumed she was pregnant in the past when that wasn’t the case. Garner and Affleck just announced that they’re expecting their third child, though. Maybe they’re trying for a boy this time.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are getting ready for another baby!
The couple, who are parents to two daughters ? Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 2 ? are “thrilled” to be expecting their third child, they confirm to the Associated Press.
Garner and Affleck, both 39, have each spoken of being hands-on parents. After Seraphina’s arrival, 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 said at the time, “and then I kind of turn back to a ditz again.
[From People]
Well congratulations to them. I guess now that we know Garner was pregnant when she said “there’s no deeper want for a woman” than to be a mother it’s not as outrageous of a statement. It’s still a little out there, but taken in context it makes sense.
We’ve heard plenty of rumors and blind items that there were problems in their marriage, and that Garner is all about family while Affleck is ready to bolt. It would make sense given what they’ve both said to the press and given Affleck’s past. This is not a guy who gushes about his wife like his best friend, Matt Damon. He probably dotes on his kids though.

Here’s Ben Affleck walking around with a grumpy face and a more stylish variant of helmet hair. The last we commented on Affleck’s hair situation it was looking curly and wiry, making us wonder if his hair was growing out naturally or if it was sprouting in conjunction with some hair plugs. (See this story for a retrospect on Afleck’s hair.) At least one guy with a hair transplant commented that he’d had the procedure and that it looked to him like Affleck had it too:
I got them in the front, and I have straight brown hair. after the procedure, though, the front came in kind of bushy, which was really weird to see my hair actually grow in different.
So, my special input is yes, it?s implants.
These implants actually work, it?s incredible and I look much better.
He probably got them too, and his frontal hair changed too because they take the donor hairs from the back of your head and transplant them up to the front.
[From comment by Mackavoy]
So take that for what it is, but I definitely could believe it’s plugs given all the rumors and the changing state of Ben’s hair. This blow out might be for a role, although these photos were taken on a Sunday. Affleck has admitted dyeing his hair, and the gray might indicate that it’s real, a transplant or he could have just chosen a clever toupee. There’s something not quite right about his hair, whether that shizz is natural or not. Kaiser is calling it a “wiglet” and says that Ben needs a new one. Aw, I wouldn’t pull it off during sex. I wouldn’t act like I knew the difference. Even if it was hanging off to the side I’d try not to crack a smile. That thing does suck a lot of sex appeal out of the guy, doesn’t it? He would be so much hotter bald.

These are just some cute photos of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner out at the farmer’s market this Sunday. They look somewhat annoyed to be papped, although there are also photos of them smiling and interacting. Their daughters are adorable as usual and they look like a happy family whose every move is chronicled by the press.
There’s buzz (by the photo agency) of Garner being potentially pregnant again, but we hear that about her every couple of weeks whenever she wears a loose top. I think this striped number isn’t doing her any favors in that it billows out and gives the optical illusion that she has a bump. Photos of her from Thursday show her with a flat stomach.
Affleck seems to have tamed his wild hair and shaved at some point in the last couple of weeks. The last time we saw him he had some very wiry looking hair and a face full of scruff.
Garner looks so different without any makeup, but of course this isn’t the first time we’ve seen her without it. She barely wears it on a daily basis. Personally I feel naked without it. I’m revealing myself to be high maintenance lately but I almost never go out without makeup on. I’m pale with light eyelashes and don’t feel comfortable without mascara and eye pencil on at least. I guess when you have to wear makeup for your job (and when it sometimes takes hours) you probably don’t want to bother putting it on every day. Like I don’t enjoy getting my hair done because the blowout seems like it takes forever. That doesn’t mean I don’t do my hair every day though, I just do it faster than that.
Oh and here’s the photo where the agency is saying Garner looks pregnant. I see it here, but not in the other pictures.
How cute are Seraphina’s glasses?

Talk about a picture perfect family ? Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Violet and Seraphina stepped out for a Sunday brunch in Brentwood, CA yesterday (July 10).
The ?Town? actor and his ?Valentine?s Day? wife, along with their precious gals, were all smiles as they exited Villeta restaurant and strolled down the street.
The night before, Garner stopped by the BAFTA Brits to Watch Gala - where she had the pleasure of shaking hands with Prince William and wife, Kate.
Meanwhile, daddy Ben has been enjoying a less hectic summer than usual and has been able to spend the summer days with his ladies.

| | Ben Affleck Lost Half a Million in Secret Poker Ring | | Added 12 years ago | Source: Yeeeah |

It’s no secret that Ben Affleck likes to gamble and whore — but nobody knew exactly how much he like to gamble until today, when it was revealed that Ben lost nearly half a million to a movie mogul while partaking in the same secret poker ring that put Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon under federal investigation last month. Radar Online says:
It’s emerged Affleck, 35, even hosted his own game — which was referred to in poker circles as “Ben’s Game” — at the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills.
“Ben wasn’t the most skillful player,” [an insider said]. “It was almost like he was someone who felt they did not deserve the money they had.”
The actor began gambling with Ron Meyer, president of Universal Studios, [and] their poker games were anything but friendly — the Hollywood honcho’s biggest winning hands came at the expense of the actor, who lost a hand to the tune of $400,000.
“Ben busted big,” one player at the table on the night in question said. “He drummed up a giant tab, and then all of a sudden he disappeared from the game. He wasn’t seen for months.”
It left many in the ring to ask why the star just didn’t pay Meyer. The source said: “He’d had a string of bad movies and didn’t have any big projects on the horizon, and everyone was wondering, ‘Is Ben broke?’
“But we knew that he couldn’t stiff a businessman like Ron Meyer. That would be ‘career over’ in Hollywood. Suicide.
Eventually, Ron got paid.”
Let’s be honest, the name “Ben Affleck” has been synonymous with “career over” for the last six years. And speaking of has-Bens (see how I did that there?), former supermodel Paulina Porizkova went swimming last weekend without her top on. It’s only slightly less depressing than talking about Ben Affleck’s career, but hey — it’s still boobs. And the last time I checked, it was still two more boobs than you had when you first started this post.

| | Ben Affleck to direct and star in real life CIA caper film | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Ben Affleck had a lot of critical and commercial success with his last film, The Town which he directed and starred in. According to Variety he’s about to direct and star in another film based on the real-life story of a late 70s Iran hostage crisis with a twist. Through an elaborate ruse the CIA convinced the government of Iran that the US diplomats they’d captured were film production workers scouting out a location for a fake movie they’d invented. It sounds brilliant actually, and full of potential. With Affleck in charge it could be quite good. The film is being put out by Warner Brothers, and George Clooney will be one of the production partners. John Goodman (love him) and Alan Arkin are in talks to co-star. Hopefully they’ll add another hot young actor besides Affleck for eye candy.
Finding a leading man can be difficult these days, but director Ben Affleck has found the perfect one for “Argo”: He cast himself.
Affleck is set to star as Tony Mendez, the CIA exfiltration expert who created a fake Hollywood production to get six Americans who were hiding out at the Canadian ambassador’s out of Iran.
Alan Arkin and John Goodman are in final negotiations to co-star in Warner Bros.’ Tehran hostage crisis pic as Hollywood producer Lester Siegel and Oscar-winning makeup artist John Chambers, respectively.
George Clooney and Grant Heslov are producing the political drama through their Smokehouse banner along with David Klawans (”Nacho Libre”).
Chris Terrio adapted Joshuah Bearman’s April 2007 Wired magazine article, titled “How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue American from Tehran,” which told how the CIA and the Canadian government teamed to rescue six U.S. diplomats who’d been taken hostage at the American embassy by a group of Iranians in 1979. The CIA’s ruse involved the explanation that the six hostages were actually a Hollywood film crew scouting a movie titled “Argo,” and using those fake identities, they were able to flee the country.
[From Variety via Huffington Post]
The Town was a great movie, but I get the critics who say that Affleck isn’t the strongest actor. He’s not, but he’s a very promising director. He also plays certain parts very well, and this type of CIA operative posing as a Hollywood wheeler dealer could be perfect for him. He’s got charisma and there’s a kind of superficiality about him that makes him seem slippery. I like Ben, he’s just not an Oscar level actor. He’s played his career well though over the past few years. It probably wasn’t easy to go from a punchline to an acclaimed director, although having millions of dollars in the bank surely made it possible - and tolerable.

As you?ve probably seen on all of the mom-and-baby-themed blogs by now, Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and their two daughters have been back on the Dimple Parade paparazzi stroll the past month. My thought on the subject is that Jennifer was promoting Arthur, and maybe she was trying to create some buzz for her horrendous monstrosity project, a ?young? reboot of Miss Marple. Basically, whenever I see photos of Garner two days in a row, I get suspicious and think she?s hustling something. CB and I always disagree about that - CB loves Garner, and thinks that Garner just has a routine that the paps can easily follow, day after day. In reality, it?s probably a little of both theories. Anyway, as you can see from their recent pap-friendly outings, Garner and Affleck seem to be a better mood these days. There were even photos of them smiling and laughing together, a rarity. And now Us Weekly has a nice little story about how Jen and Ben are back on track:
He may be outnumbered three to one, but Ben Affleck wouldn?t change a thing about life with his girls.
?I have no testosterone left, but you know, I?m happy,? he tells Us Weekly of wife Jennifer Garner and their daughters. In fact, a source tells Us Weekly that the pair, who celebrated Garner?s 39th birthday with a barbecue at their home in LA?s Pacific Palisades April 17, are better than ever.
?All is really good,? says the insider. The only recent hiccup? Getting Violet into the right private school, says the friend. ?But it was all sorted out. Tom Hanks wrote letters of recommendation!?
The couple?s work-life balance makes the grade too, adds the source: ?Ben is happy doing smaller films now and being a family man. He?s the happiest he has ever been.?
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
As I said, it takes very little for my suspicions to be raised about this family. I think Ben screwed around with Blake Lively - and probably others. I also have concerns that he?s drinking again, and maybe worse. So? while I think that Ben might/probably genuinely love his wife and his daughters, he?s also got that self-destructive streak that rises up every so often and wreaks havoc. When I see unnamed sources saying stuff like ?Ben is happy doing smaller films now and being a family man. He?s the happiest he has ever been? all I think is ?Um, really? Or is that wishful thinking?? Still, I guess I should give Jennifer and Ben some credit - they really did seem like they went through a bad rough patch after Seraphina was born, and they managed to move past it. It probably helps that Ben buys ?I?m sorry I boned her? jewelry for his wife after big transgressions!

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were photographed out together, supposedly looking for a school for one or both of their daughters, and they looked pretty happy and content for once. They often seem disconnected and upset in candids, but I think their mood is usually a reaction to the paparazzi that hound them and isn’t necessarily a reflection on their relationship. Kaiser isn’t a fan of Garner, and I understand that criticism that Lainey and Kaiser lob at her - that she’s shuttling her kids out to promote stuff, that she’s arranging photo ops. I don’t agree with that take on her, and I’ve seen video of the paparazzi absolutely swarming her when she’s out with her kids. I think that Garner and Affleck live a predictable life, that they’re followed everywhere and and that they deal with it the best they can. The worst that Ben has done is flip the bird a few times and scowl, which is completely understandable and a pretty mild response to what he goes through daily.
These two don’t even have a bodyguard (Kate Gosselin has one for God’s sake) and while Garner has admitted to having a nanny she isn’t usually seen out with a lot of helpers. I like them, I can’t help it. They don’t seem to think they’re regal, they do live the high life but they don’t seem to flaunt it or overextend like Ben’s ex J.Lo and her diminutive control freak husband. I’m rooting for them, but frankly I’m surprised they’ve lasted as long as they have. I had to say something negative and there it is. I’ve seen a lot of friends split up and marriage is a tough prospect for anyone, particularly two people in the spotlight with such different schedules. We’ve heard a lot of stories about trouble in their relationship, and this blind item may point to them. It’s got to suck when your movie bombs too, although Garner wasn’t the main headliner on Arthur.
Last week Garner dished on her sex scenes with Russell Brand in Arthur. She said “I’m very familiar, in my own way, with the anatomy of Russell Brand — and it’s good.” He was wearing underwear, though, or she may have needed some antibiotics to stop that familiarity from itching.

They haven?t been spotted together in quite some time, but the paparazzi finally caught up with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in Los Angeles, CA earlier today (April 12).
The ?Town? actor and his ?Valentine?s Day? wife both looked cute and casual as they checked out some potential new schools for their daughters, Violet and Seraphina.
Up ahead for Jen, she is set to begin work on her next project in which she will be starring as a younger Miss Marple in Disney?s reboot of the Agatha Christie mystery series.
Aside from starring in the film, Garner will also be found behind the camera producing alongside her Vandalia Films partner, Juliana Janes.
