wasn't Tiny Tom interested in "auditioning" her for his wife at one point?

She got him fired? Was she overruled because of a drop in ratings?

These two have been OVER for a long time IMO.

Yep- Garner, Affleck (who also has connections with ABC), and a producer named Ken Olin (who's currently working on Brothers and Sisters) got together and went to the studio with the plan to kill off the character of Vaughn.

They thought having an ex-boyfriend play the father of the baby when she was married to someone else just wasn't a great move, and everyone assumed that people only watched "Alias" for Garner. They got the surprise of their lives with that fan movement and the ratings drop.

As I understand it, they actually had to pay Michael Vartan more per episode than Jennifer Garner to get him to return for those final episodes of the fifth season.

I think Grimm, is exactly right JLO goes for someone who lavishes attention on her, and when they cause issues in their "public persona" they break up. She tried to turn Ben into a White "Puffy" with him having slick back hair, these dressed up outfits, starring in videos, driving 300,000 cars all that. Stuff Puffy and her USED TO DO together. There was even eyewitness where Puffy and her went to a spa, and they didnt carry pizza so puffy gave them 15,000 dollars to get 3 Large pizzas sent in from where JENNIFER wanted. She tried to do the same with Affleck. A restaurant didnt carry a milkshake she liked, so he had to pay up the ass, to get them to make her one. I think Diddy is the ONLY man she ever really loved and understood her Diva ways because he is a ass too.

As for that BI, I don't think its Jen/Ben. I'm calling Lopez/Marc. She hasn't seem liked she EVER loved him, she even looked more into Chris Judd then him. I bet they live seperate lives.

But it be hilarious if while making "He's just not that into you" Jennifer Aniston and he fell for each other and she is just "waiting for the media to tell her its over" so she can drop this publicity shit with Mayer, and go for Ben. And he will be with his TRUE LOVE Aniston. LOL. Maybe this is her meant to be. Next year she will be pregnant by Ben, and they will be Hollywoods "IT" couple. Garner will keep little Violet and let Ben have his vistation.

I have a feeling a lot of actors/actresses are like that- they love to be the center of attention, which is why they go into acting. I suspect JLo is just a little more extreme.

Do you really think Jennifer Aniston is interested in having children? I know she's said she is, but I also remember her giving a TV Guide interview years ago, when her character on Friends was pregnant, and she said she wasn't sure she wanted to go through pregnancy and all the changes that it could bring about in a woman's body. And she seems to be a lot of effort into maintaining her figure (which makes sense, given her profession).

Before people scream, let me be quick to add that I don't think it's a bad thing for a woman to decide not to have children. Motherhood isn't for everyone, and no one should be judged negatively for opting not to do it.

Sorry

And Michael Vartan definitely holds a grudge against him- he was one of the people being considered for the role that Rob Lowe ultimately took on Brothers and Sisters, but he told the network he'd rather starve to death than work with Ken Olin

CherryDarling · June 24th, 2008, 09:27 PM

Can't say this one surprises me much. Hollyweird marriages rarely last.

I wonder if Calista was already on board, because I cannot picture those two together at all.
