Jennifer Garner: Terribly unfortunate scuttlebutt has come my way. Sources insist to me that Jennifer Garner is considering splitting up from her hubby, Ben Affleck. Say it ain't so, baby-cakes! Nevertheless, waiting on comment now from both parties. Could this be the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately, rarely as one happy family unit? Perhaps. And certainly, those who know the former Alias star well insist Ben's mama has never particularly cared for the gal who broke Michael Vartan's heart to hook up with Benny-Boy in the first place.

Waiting on official PR responses to that little familial naughty nugget as, well, for what it's worth. Much has to be divided, I'm told...planes, property. Wonder - if above baddie biz is true - if Benny-boy will be the gentleman Vartan was when he was cast aside? Let's hope. I mean, don't leave Vi-hon with the sitters too long if ya decide to hit the card tables, Mr. A!

However, according to Mr. Affleck's representatives, that gambling escape won't be necessary: "We usually don't comment on stuff like this," shot Camp Affleck. "But you should know sources are liars. If you guys want to do the right thing, you won't post that item. It's all BS." Really? Interesting, as it's from the same bull-pooping peeps who originally told me Ms. G was moving from Vartan to Affleck, the fickle little femme.

Rep: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Split Story "100% Fabricated"
A report by E!'s Ted Casablanca that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are considering breaking up is "100% completely fabricated," Garner's rep tells Usmagazine.com. The E! report speculated a potential split was "the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately." But Garner's rep tells Us: "There is not one ounce of truth to it." Garner, 36, married Affleck, 35, in 2005. They have a two-year-old daughter, Violet. "I don't know what makes [the relationship] w

Jennifer Garner appreciates her fans – even when they ask the tough questions. Asked, "When are you going to have another [child]?" during a break in filming This Side of Truth last Friday, the 36-year-old actress laughed off the unexpected query. "Sometime," she replied. "I don't know. I have to think about that one." Garner – who was in Lowell, Mass., shooting the flick (costarring Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais) – made sure to spend quality time with fans of all ages. But she paid special at

Video: Bennifer To Raise Money For Desperate Cause
In an emotional video released on Youtube Thursday, actress Jennifer Garner pleads: “I’m begging you to please support this…to attend this event, and to give whatever you can…in any way you can.” Could this be a fundraiser to combat the current genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan, perhaps? A gala to raise money for breast cancer research? Pediatric AIDS maybe? Nope. Garner, along with hubby Ben Affleck, will serve as ceremonial hosts this fall for a fundraising event called ‘Starry Nigh

Video: Obama's racist pastor, Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright may be a real problem for Barack Obama but so far the liberal elite in Hollywood hasn't really noticed. One of the Hollywood A-List star powered political couples, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, are still embracing Barack Obama and they are still raising money for the Democratic frontrunner despite the vile sermons delivered by Wright. Jeremiah Wright is the pastor of Obama and his mentor and some are saying he is like a father figure to the US Senator that is seeking the highest offi

Jason Bateman Defends ‘Juno’ In Wake Of Massachusetts Teen Pregnancies
Jason Bateman has come to the defense of the Oscar-nominated film, “Juno,” claiming the movie should not bare blame for the flood of teen pregnancies in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Last week, Dr. Joseph Sullivan, the principal at Gloucester High School told Time magazine, a “bump” in teen pregnancies at his school – from 10 earlier this year to 17 — had to do with “seven or eight sophomore girls.” “They made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together,” Sullivan said.

Kimmel: Ben Affleck 'Could Not Have Been More Sporting'

"Ben could not have been more sporting," he told PEOPLE of his video costar. (The song was designed as a retaliation against Kimmel's girlfriend Sarah Silverman for her clip, "I'm F---king Matt Damon.) "He told us, 'Listen, if we’re going to do this, we’ve got to do it right.

Ah, forget Matt Damon. Sarah Silverman's still (bleeping) Jimmy Kimmel. "I'll be honest, we have it good," Silverman tells PEOPLE of her five-year relationship with the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sacha Baron Cohen’s alter ego Bruno has recently been causing trouble in Kansas, shooting the follow-up to Borat, titled Brüno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt (now try to say that five times fast).

He says, “If I have a big regret, it was doing the music video. But that happened years ago.

For the record, did she hurt my career? No.”

Jolie — who earns $12-15 million a movie — is already generating Oscar buzz for her role a mother whose son is kidnapped ("her performance hits home," a Variety critic wrote). Meanwhile,

VIDEO: Gary Busey's red carpet moment
I am not sure what Gary Busey was doing at the Oscars this evening, but he made sure that the good folks at E!, especially Ryan Seacrest, knew that he deserved some camera time. He interrupted an interview between Seacrest, Jennifer Garner, and Laura Linney. Busey went on to give a very annoyed looking Garner a bear hug and a kiss. I think in the future the Oscars might ban Busey along with Paris Hilton.

Britney and Mel's Cigar Club Rendezvous
Britney Spears and Mel Gibson had a smokin' date Tuesday night – at an exclusive Beverly Hills cigar club. For more than two-and-a-half hours, the singer, 26, and the actor-filmmaker, 52, met in what was confirmed to PEOPLE as a more of an ongoing guidance session than a business pow-wow. For their rendezvous at the members-only Havana Club, both showed up separately shortly before 7 p.m., well into the third game of the NBA finals between the L.A. Lakers and the Boston Celtics, which was playing at

Gary Busey apologizes for Oscar behavior
The most memorable moment of this year's Oscars didn't happen during the ceremony...it happened just before--- when an erratic Gary Busey interrupted Ryan Seacrest's interview with Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney on the red carpet. Acting as if he had no idea who she was, The Point Break star grabbed a startled looking Garner, sloppily kissing her on the neck. Garner and Linney's reaction was priceless--their faces wore the classic expressions of two women trying to fight off a strange man at a bar. "Ar

Sam Raimi in Talks To Revive Tom Clancy Jack Ryan Franchise
Director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) is in talks with Paramount Pictures for a revival of the Jack Ryan franchise. Ryan is the brainy CIA analyst turned action hero character created by novelist Tom Clancy that went on to launch four hit movies for the studio. The character was first portrayed by Alec Baldwin in 1990's The Hunt for Red October and then by Harrison Ford in 1992's Patriot Games and 1994's Clear and Present Danger. Ben Affleck last played Ryan in 2002's The Sum of All Fears. Those four movi
