Ben Affleck was playing in a charity poker tournament for the “Ante Up For Africa” organization during the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

The former gambling addict was joined in the tournament by BFF Matt Damon. Poor Matty boy was knocked out within the first five minutes of the tournament, though he was leading the hand until he lost on the final card to a professional poker player.

Old pro Ben wasn’t as horrendous. He finished in the middle of the pack, but lasted longer than the other celeb players, who included Kevin James, Ray Romano, Brad Garrett, Martin Sheen and Dancing with the Stars alum Shannon Elizabeth.

Doting dad Ben Affleck was snapped running some errands today in Los Angeles.

The actor/director had a little company today, as Hollywood’s happiest baby Violet Affleck joined pops for the days meetings.

After a full day of business it was back to a little TLC (the cracker, of course!) for Ben and his precious angel.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner took their adorable daughter Violet to her first day of preschool today.

While Jen did drop off duties, a name tag-wearing Ben was responsible for pick up patrol. Both mom and dad looked proud of their little girl.

Meanwhile, Violet (a.k.a. Hollywood’s happiest kid) looked like she had a blast and even left school with paint all over her.

Colour outside of the lines, girlfriend!

Ben Affleck and wifey Jennifer Garner have signed up to help raise money for an athletic complex at her hometown university in West Virginia.

University of Charleston President Ed Welch says the Hollywood power couple will serve as honorary hosts at a September 19 fundraiser.

The university hopes to raise more than half a million dollars at the fundraiser. The complex will house the school’s basketball and volleyball programs and is projected to cost at least $20 million.

Good for them….but couldn’t they simply write a check?

Joined by their increasingly adorable 2-year-old daughter Violet, perflectly paired couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner head to their car after stopping for coffee and picking up a few toys at the Brentwood Country Mart in Brentwood, CA on Saturday.

The happy family has recently returned to L.A. after spending the winter in New York City where Jennifer was performing on Broadway.

As for any news regarding this Hollywood family, it may be that there’s no news at all! According to Jen’s IMDB profile, the 35-year-old actress has no projects lined up for 2008. Hmm…could more babies be in store?

It’s certainly no secret that the Juno actress wants another child. In an interview with British Marie Claire magazine, she was quoted as saying: “I’m assuming we’ll have at least one more, but not for a while.”

That was last April.

A new year, a new outlook?

Stay tuned!!

Lady of the night Jennifer Garner goes strapless to The Glamour Magazine 2007 Women of The Year Awards at Lincoln Center in New York, City on Monday.

The thirty-five year old actress has been named the magazine’s Woman of the Year after editors agreed she the person who best presents an example of a woman with a ‘successful career and happy family life while remaining stylish and elegant’.

Other well-deserving honourees included Nobel-prize winning novelist Toni Morrison and golfer Lorena Ochoa.

Among the Hollywood heavyweights stood little Abigail Breslin who was all smiles at the star-studded event. The 11-year-old Oscar-nominated actress had reason to be so darn happy — she was named as the first ever Girl of the Year!
