On the Fourth of July, The Washington Posts Emily Yahr published an article in their Pop Culture section calling Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas the pandemic?s only tabloid celebrities. Since that article came out nearly a week ago, WaPo has had only three stories in that category and theyre more general entertainment news like Quibis failure and the fact that it took forever for classic Black sitcoms to go to streaming. The article had a positive spin, saying Ben and Ana are fun to watch and are a nice distraction. We know Ben pays attention to stories about him and it had to have stung that he was being slightly ribbed by WaPo.
We last saw Ben and Ana together looking at homes for sale in Venice on July 3rd. They used to get photographed walking their dogs together at least every other day for weeks. Since that article came out, and its been almost a week, Ben has only been photographed once, alone, walking his dog. That was in Venice yesterday so we know he was visiting Ana. So what happened? Did the WaPo article make Ben and/or Ana realize the optics? Did they make the decision to stop doing paparazzi photo ops and whose idea was that? They were getting on my nerves, but at the same time I miss them. It was fun to see Ana laughing at Ben like he was the funniest guy ever. I liked seeing her ridiculous outfits. She needs to wear a mask more, but that goes against her whole objective at being photographed. We may have Chris Evans and Lily James now, but theyre not going to fill that void.
Theres a whole side story we havent covered about Anas fan account, Ana De Armas Updates, getting blocked and then re-added by the official Knives Out twitter. The Knives out Twitter account has since unblocked Ana De Armas Updates and gave them some never-before-seen behind the scenes photos of Ana as a show of good faith. Paper Magazine has an interview with AJ, who runs Ana De Armas updates, and the Knives Out Twitter team that explains everything.
Ana herself of course blocked Ana De Armas updates after they wrote a funny and benign caption about her walk with Ben on Easter. She hasnt unblocked them yet.

During our Zoom meeting last night, so many of us said that we used to like Ana De Armas and found her mesmerizing in Knives Out, but that weve soured on her after her antics with Ben Affleck. Ben did absolutely nothing for his previous partners and girlfriends careers, so its curious that Ana is doing this. Does she think shes different somehow? She got on my sh-t list when she hugged up on her friends without masks, in view of several paparazzi. Plus she had a lifesize cutout made of herself and put it on Bens lawn. The woman is thirsty, and Ben is a narcissist, so theyre deliriously happy and stuck on each other, for now.
Check out these new photos of them playing it up. Ana so amused by whatever Ben is saying shes literally slapping her knee. I had to blow up the photo of Anas sweet dogs save me face. This is where I got the idea.
Also, a lot of you pointed out yesterday that Ben has been using the Just For Men beard dye, or, more likely, hes having his stylist do it. Im sure hes still able to slip out and go to appointments without being photographed. He does look good, for him.
The two of them did step out with masks later in the day, which is progress. I wonder whose idea that was.

Yesterday we covered photos of Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas walking their dogs, and a lot of you pointed out that they werent wearing masks. Considering that its just the two of them I didnt think it was that big of a deal, especially compared to the other times weve seen Ana in particular without a mask. The mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, has issued an order requiring Angelenos to wear face coverings when they leave their their homes and will be near other people. I guess you could interpret that to mean that its ok not to wear a mask if youre just walking your dog. If youre famous and know youre going to be photographed, would you prioritize getting your face in the photos or would you wear a mask to show its the right thing to do for everyones health? Covid is surging in California and Los Angeles County in particular, and beaches, bike paths and piers have been ordered closed for the upcoming Fourth of July Weekend. Thats all Im saying about that.
Ben held his dogs poo in a bag. I think hes the type of guy who wont pick it up unless there are witnesses, but thats my own bias. They embraced and hugged. Ana was in a floral bohemian dress with balloon sleeves, which she paired with flip flops. I wonder how many outfits shes getting sent and if shes getting paid to wear them. She must be, right?
Do you guys want to keep talking about Ben and Ana? It seems like you do. Like many of you I had a very positive opinion of her after seeing her performance in Knives Out. That has changed. She seems perfect for Ben. They both love dogs and getting their picture taken.

Did you see what I did in the title? These are just new photos of Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas taking their dogs for a walk in Venice, CA last night, where Ana lives. I didnt want to cover these, but you guys like to talk about Ben and Ana, specifically Ana and how fame-hungry she is. (Even Paris Hilton hasnt posted a giant cut out of herself on her lawn. That was beyond.) Im so over them I forgot to put that story about Ana not wearing a mask in the daily Celebitchy email yesterday.
When Ben and Ana first got together, a lot of people thought it was a publicity stunt. Its been happening so long Im sort-of positive theyre for-real, as much as those two can be, which doesnt mean theyre not milking this for publicity. In these photos they look really happy together. Ben looked like that in the beginning with Jennifer Garner too. He also looked like that when they split up and maybe got back together.
Ana wore shorts, a black t-shirt, a comfy-looking Santa Fe style wrap and black leather booties with black socks. Thats a weird choice of footwear for shorts, right? Those are fall and winter booties, although Ive seen women wear them with shorts and make them look good. I just dont think this look works with those particular booties.
Oh and as for Anas continued lack of mask-wearing (Im talking about her previous incidents, not these photos), a lot of you commented that it makes you like her less. Shes a great actress but shes showing us how fame-hungry she is. Its possible shes taking her mask off just for the photographers, since shes been seen carrying them. Thats still sending a message, especially after she was seen hugging friends. Also lola pointed out that Jennifer Garner has been wearing masks in her Instagram stories and reminding people to wear them. Shes got to have some thoughts about this.
Bens dog is gorgeous, right?

The last time we saw Ana De Armas she was hugging up on her friends, Djokovic-style, without any of them wearing masks. (They did wear masks at one point, but thats not relevant if they were up in each others faces without them.) I wondered how Jennifer Garner would feel about that, considering how hands-on Ana has been with Jen and Bens kids. Weve been hearing this narrative that Ana is getting to know Bens kids, and theyve been stepping out together. Well Ana, Ben and two of his kids went to paparazzi hotspot Brentwood Country Mart for lunch on Saturday and everyone but Ana wore a mask.
Ana may have blocked Ana De Armas updates but shes surely pays attention to coverage about herself. She knows people were taking her to task for not wearing a mask with her friends, and yet she did it again with Ben and his kids. Maybe she took it off so she could show her whole face in photos, as if we havent seen enough of it lately. (Shes lovely, you know what I mean.) She absolutely knows how that looks and what shes doing.
On Sunday, Matt Damon, his wife Luciana and their two youngest daughters visited Ben at home. I hope they were socially distancing and washing their hands a lot. Also there are more photos of Ana from Saturday. You can see them through the Twitter link below.

Its been a while since weve had new photos of Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas. I know theyve been photographed together since weve last covered them but they were exclusive photos so we couldnt post them. Im not sure how much you guys care though. Interest in these two is definitely waning. We do have an ongoing joke in our CB Zoom meeting with one member who loves Ben. Weve talked about it on the podcast a couple of times! (Episode #53 at minute 38 and Episode #24 at minute 28.) Ben is looking better though. There was a recent tweet that went viral claiming hed de-aged himself back to the 90s. I just think it was a good angle and the fact that hes lost weight and was wearing a flannel shirt, but he does look good. Also, everyone is making fun of how much sugar and cream Ben uses in his coffee.
These are photos of Ben and Ana out at the Brentwood Country Mart, where the photo agency says they had lunch. Im assuming they ate inside, because there arent any photos of them eating outside. Since its California they probably have very good social distancing and Im sure the wait staff wear masks. It still scares me to go out to eat though and I havent done it yet, even outside. My son and I usually get takeout and then go sit at a picnic bench where we can people watch. Ive seen restaurants in my town that are crowded with the doors closed. It will probably be at least six months until we do that again.
What do you think about Anas jeans? Celebrities wear so many fug jean trends that the rest of us cant pull off. (Not that I havent tried.) Her sweater with the stripes down the shoulders is cute too. The jeans look kind of cool on her and like a 90s throwback. This makes me wonder if shes watched Bens old movies. She so seems like the type who would do that. You know shes watched even the sh-tty ones like Reindeer Games, Forces of Nature and Bounce.
Look at Bens face! Did we ever see him look like this with Jennifer? (That is absolutely no shade on her.)

Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas were seen in Venice, California yesterday at a march for George Floyd. Ben held a sign that read Save First Baptist Church of Venice, although I doubt it was his. The photo was taken and posted by Save Venice, a community organization dedicated to saving the historic Black church, established in 1910 and sold by the pastor a private owner in 2017. The group is using legal means to gain control of the church and have it declared an Historic-Cultural Monument. By having Ben Affleck hold that sign, they just got so much publicity for their cause. Im pretty sure that small notebook page with Black Lives Matter on it is theirs, and no disrespect for that. I am not crafty and usually just print something out on my computer and paste it to a bigger poster board.
Anna initially posted this to her Instagram, with a blackout square and she did use the right tag, #BlackOutTuesday. Incidentally, activists are urging people not to use the #BlackLiveMatter as it drowns out more important causes and calls to action. Its awesome that they came out and protested.
The activist who met Affleck and took the photo, Sarah Mahir, spoke to ET Online. She had just got done making a speech about the need to save the church and that she turned around and Ben Affleck was standing there. [He] graciously agreed to take a photo and possibly keep in touch with us.
A source gave a quote to People about it that Ben wants to continue to be a model for his children. They talk about these important issues. Also E! has a bunch of quotes, they posted them last week and Im just seeing them now, about how sweet Ana is with Bens kids and how she keeps him sober. At least his people parceled them out and didnt blanket the press with these, but theyre cheesy. Heres what they said:
She supports his sobriety and has really helped him stay on track, the insider says. She is loving, caring and fun. They are always laughing and making each other smile. Ben is extremely happy with herEverything seems to work between them, and its been a long time since he has fallen hard like this.
Ana loves kids and couldnt wait to meet them and spend time with them, the insider said. She knows how much they mean to Ben and so she was anxious to be a part of that. She is very sweet and kind to the kids. They immediately warmed up to her and like her a lot. They are all comfortable together and shes very nurturing. Everything has worked out very well.
Affleck is fully present for his family.
[From E! Online]
This is all so calculated, right? As for the protest, Ana wore a mask in the photo but Ben didnt. (Update: supposedly he has a mask on in video from the protest.)
Here are photos of Ben and Ana on his motorcycle yesterday. I do think they rode it to the protest because in the photo Ana has her jacket tied around her waist. No wonder they had a small sign.

Do you remember when Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus were house hunting together? I think she dodged a bullet and sometimes I wonder how shes doing. She did get back with Ben after her broke up with her by being seen out with that young Playboy model, whom he took to Montana with him. Remember that? Ben and Lindsay split for good just about a year ago, after years of doing the on-off thing. So now Ben and Ana were seen looking at property in Venice together. I bet theyre looking for a bigger, nicer place where he can stay too. Hell likely keep his mansion down the street from his kids and Jennifer.
The Daily Mail reports thatAna and Ben were seen at the site of an unfinished property in [Venice] wearing their trusty face masks as they toured the home. We dont have the photos of them looking at that house but they were taken on Wednesday, the same day Anna was seen out in that tie dye sweatsuit. (That retails for $185!) The photos of them packing up Bens car are from Thursday.
Some of you mentioned in Wednesdays post that Ana wasnt just Facetiming Ben when she was photographed out shopping in Venice she was Facetiming Ben and a couple of his kids at the same time. Ben might have been the one to call her, but if thats the case how freaking thirsty of her to take that call and make sure the paparazzi got a shot of it. She could have told him she would call him back. Ana and Ben are all in, just like Ben and J.Lo. I was just thinking about this last night. Do you remember how J.Lo said almost nothing publicly about Ben for years after he broke up with her by cheating on her with strippers in Canada right before their wedding? It was so close to their wedding date that they lost deposits to caterers and event staff. Lopez was super classy about it and only threw some light shade on Ben years afterwards. Shookus was also quiet about Ben and has only done one interview where she didnt talk about him much. Ana isnt going to be like that. Shes going to spill the minute Ben does her wrong. Before that I bet these two do an interview talking about their life together though! Im looking forward to that.
Look at Ana getting something from Bens pocket when hes on the phone.

Over the holiday weekend, TMZ posted new photos of Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas taking a walk with his kids on Saturday. At first only TMZ had them so I suspect they paid a premium. None of the other major outlets posted those over the weekend, but theyre available for the plebe subscribers now, which is how we got them. Incidentally, thats the same photo agency that had the exclusives of Ben and Ana on a beach in Costa Rica. I wonder how they also knew to be there when Ben and Ana stepped out for the first time with his kids.
Of course there are multiple stories about how Ben is introducing Ana to his kids. They spent the night at Bens house when Ana was there too. I wonder if this is all storyboarded out by a team of people, because we last heard that Ana admires Ben so much for somehow juggling a career and co-parenting. Now shes meeting his kids, how sweet. US, People and ET Online all had sourced quotes about this.
?He wants the kids to spend time with her so they can get to know her,? the source says, adding that Affleck is ?very serious? about the Cuban star, who he met on the set of their upcoming erotic thriller, Deep Water. From US Magazine
The source says Affleck, 47, is very serious about 32-year-old girlfriend de Armas. He wants the kids to spend time with her so they can get to know her, the source adds. They are very happy together. the source says Affleck continues to work on co-parenting with Garner. Ben and Jen work together at that From two stories on People
Ben and Ana are happy together and have enjoyed spending time with his family, a source tells ET.
He and Jen continue to work together on co-parenting, the source added of Afflecks ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, 48. They make it work. From ET Online
[From US, two stories on People and ET Online]
Consider how open Ben and Ana have been about their relationship and how much regret hes expressed, for years, about making his romance with Jennifer Lopez so public. Here he is involved with another celebrity who also likes the spotlight. He definitely seems like someone stuck in a pattern. We remember whats next and maybe hell be able to avoid that this time.
At first I thought that Ana was socially distancing from Bens kids but there are several photos of her touching Samuel, 8. Also the newest photos of Ben and Ana are exclusives so we dont have them, but you can see them on JustJared. The Daily Mail points out that Ben dyed his beard.
