Chris Pine Is The New Jack Ryan In The Tom Clancy Franchise
Posted on 15. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
The 29-year-old will play the CIA analyst in a revival of the series based on the popular Tom Clancy novels, according to Variety.
“Tom Clancy created an unforgettable character with Jack Ryan,” Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman told the trade paper Wednesday. “With Chris in this role, we’ve taken our first step in creating a re-boot that lives up to the successful lineage of the franchise.”
Baldwin was the first to play Ryan in 1990’s The Hunt for Red October. Ford played him in 1992’s Patriot Games and 1994’s Clear and Present Danger. Most recently, Ben Affleck took over the role in the 2002 hit The Sum of All Fears.
It looks like Chris Pine beat out a much older George Clooney. Clooney had previously expressed his eagerness to take on the famous role of Jack Ryan.

Jennifer Garner Talks To 'In Touch' About Hubby Ben Affleck
Posted on 11. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Here’s why I love Jennifer Garner: she’s beautiful, she’s talented, but she is also one of the most down to earth, real personalities in Hollywood. She seems like a great, hands-on mom, a devoted wife, and doesn’t let the Hollywood machine get to her. She goes out without makeup and wearing ratty underwear one day, then all made up and looking radiant on the red carpet the next. Jennifer says the reason why her marriage to Ben Affleck works is because she accepted him – faults and all – from day one, and never tried to “fix” him.
Second-time new mom Jennifer Garner returns to the big screen in the new romantic comedy Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughey. But in real life, her leading man is Ben Affleck, her husband of almost four years and dad to daughters Violet, 3, and Seraphina, 3 months.
“Ben is pretty ideal as far as I’m concerned,” says Jennifer. “I don’t think you could do any better. I don’t think there’s a lovelier person.”
And it’s a good thing Ben is so perfect to Jennifer, considering what she learned from her mother.
My mom’s solid piece of advice to my sisters was, ‘Never marry a guy thinking you can change him,’” says Jennifer, 37. “Don’t get in there and think you can start to tinker. So, I’m not a fixer.”
Q: How is it having two little girls in your household?
I’m certainly not sleeping. Violet was a good sleeper, typically. But now that there is a new baby, she wakes up when the baby wakes up. She wants me, too, so there are times when they are both up all the time.
Q: What do you do about it?
I go from one to the other all the time.
Q: What is the most appealing thing about the opposite sex?
As far as I’m concerned, the sexiest thing about a man is when he changes diapers. Maybe except for defusing a tantrum!

Ben Affleck Writes Congo Essay For 'Time' Magazine
Posted on 16. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
Actor Ben Affleck made his first attempt at amateur journalism by penning an article on the conflict in Congo for Time Magazine this weekend.
The star of the box office hit He’s Just Not That Into You, who took Nightline on a trip to the area last year, wrote the article to draw even additional attention to the embattled region of Africa.
“I’ve been traveling to Congo since 2007 to learn…” Ben began the nearly 1,000-word essay, titled “A Glimmer of Hope In Africa.”
“The warring parties in the east can be distilled into three main groups: the Congolese army; a breakaway faction composed mainly of Tutsis, led by a former general, Laurent Nkunda; and an outlaw militia, the Democratic Liberation Forces of Rwanda (FDLR), led by the same Interahamwe Hutu extremists who committed the 1994 genocide of Tutsis in neighboring Rwanda.”

Jennifer Garner & Husband Ben Affleck Proud Parents New Baby Girl.
Posted on 06. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
Jennifer Garner has finally given birth to her second child with Ben Affleck. The baby girl was born on Tuesday and both mother and baby are doing well. The baby’s name has not been released to the public yet, but we should be hearing soon.
With Violet Affleck, their three-year-old, voted the cutest celebrity baby several times, magazines are 
certainly going to be clamoring to get the first shots of her little sister. The Afflecks didn’t sell the first photographs of Violet to a celebrity magazine, so it’s doubtful they’ll be posing for photos with their second child. They didn’t even officially announce the pregancy until it was obvious.
Garner confirmed the pregnancy in August after joking, “Oh, I’m not pregnant. I just had a lot of carbs for breakfast. It’s just – what do they call it – a breakfast pouch.”
“It always makes me laugh when people say ‘Is she?’ ‘Isn’t she?’ It’s like eventually you will know, so just chill out for a minute,” she said in the interview with Access Hollywood, adding: “We’re so excited, obviously.”

John McCain Will Be On SNL Tonight.
Posted on 01. Nov, 2008 by CSS.
John McCain will be returning to Saturday Night Live, the McCain campaign has confirmed. McCain was the featured host in 2002, and this will be the Senator’s second cameo appearance this year. It couldn’t come at a better time, for him, either. The November 1st show is airing just three days before election day and SNL has been a great way to get a little push in popularity this election.
Aides to the Republican presidential candidate said Friday that McCain will make a detour from battleground states to appear on “Saturday Night Live,” the late-night show that has been a must-watch for many during the political season.
McCain last appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in May, after clinching the nomination and while the Democratic primary continued. The 72-year-old Arizona senator joked about his age, saying: “I ask you, what should we be looking for in our next president? Certainly, someone who is very, very, very old.”
When McCain hosted “SNL” in 2002, he mocked singer Barbra Streisand’s political advocacy by performing a medley of her songs.

I cant decide if it’s going to be really awkward to watch or if he will do an alright job… guess i’ll have to wait and see- thats the good thing about tivo if it gets to uncomfortable to watch i can always fast forward!
I wonder how Ben Affleck feels about sharing the spotlight with the Republican Presidential hopeful- Affleck is a strong Obama supporter and has even hinted around to the fact that some day he might throw his hat in the political arena…. should be interesting.
