BEN GOES TO THE BANK

All sorts of stars are popping up in Denver.

While ex Jennifer Lopez attended a Capitol File Magazine/Viacom luncheon honouring Marian Wright Edelman, Ben Affleck was all smiles across town during a box packing competition at the America’s Second Harvest Send Hunger Packing.

Ben and a team of semi-celebs, including Alicia Witt, Justin Bartha and Ben Younger, took on a team of congressmen and senators, including Worcester Rep. Jim McGovern and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, to see who could pack the most family boxes of food.

The celebs won.

When he was asked at the food bank event about his support for Barack Obama, Ben wisely declined to take the bait.

“I appreciate that this is a political convention,” he said. “But I’d like to keep the discussion focused on these guys and what they’re doing.”

    What a smart response. Good for him for not taking the bait. He’s smart, he’s cute and he’s got a gorgeous family–what a lucky man.

    ” Piece of latino ” excuse me , Ben is the one that needs to leave her alone , Jennifer Lopez is Happy and she had the last laugh cause garner is stuck with a moody alcoholic/gambler/womanizer……she got what she deserved.

    Laurie, your post smacks of racism, I hope I’m wrong about you.

    He looked his best in the late 90s more polished with his movie star looks and style, now not so much. Post #7 is right he used to be so happy before.

    Laurie is not a racist just fed up with typing Ben and Jlo together..By a piece of
    latino I mean that she does not need to be with Ben .. Why not have her with
    her own husband.. Since when has Ben been a womanizer, gambling alcoholic
    NEVER.. BUT IT IS O.K TO SAY THAT ABOUT HIM WHEN IT IS NOT TRUE
    I AM FED UP WITH ALL THESE TERRIBLE COMMENTS ON BEN…

    Sadly Jen is desperately trying to make it work, but Ben has never committed he is just going through the motions. I feel she will in the near future just give up cause it wasn’t meant to last.

    He does not look good with a beard. He looked really hot and in love when he was with La Lopez at least Lopez didn’t trap him with by getting knocked up, that’s why he’s never looked really happy with Jennifer Garner, he loves his daughter just not his wife.
