OMG, it's like they're an actual real family! Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet went out to lunch together in B-wood yesterday afternoon. So rare to see Ben with his girls (and not picking up one of 'em from school)!

But does it look like everyone's having a fun time?



Not so much!

Shogun weddings never end well.
Neither has the guts to finally resolve a bad situation.
He is her ticket to good roles.
She is her ticket to good family man illusion in a political career.

How long can a man be hypnotized by a funky toe ??????

yikes!

Lunch was eighter nasty....or didnt sit well....or this is the picture of unhappiness ...or maybe someone died??

is Jen Garner cryin in one of those pics?

Why not just order in? why let the paps take pics of such unhappiness and disatisfaction? at least keep the public persona for the fans....They are not even makin the effort to make-believe that they even had a good lunch! much less that they are happy.

Maybe they just hate x17 - anyone who reads this blog would understand why. I love how you act like their expressions have nothing to do with your invasive and harassing and abusive behavior. It's a lie and only some of your commenters are stupid enough to believe your sociopathic lying evil writing.



Posted by: Linda

All the above posters are Bats*it crazy. Why should they smile for the hated paps? Leave them alone dumbells, and dont whine becuase they dont look happy to see you.



Posted by: Linda

^^Anon 11:55 actually said it a lot better than I did. Sociopathic lying evil writing goes for the same person who posted at 11:16, 11:22,11:34, 11:37,11:38 and they were the same person I'll bet you $100, they just keep posting until they get someone to respond to their ranting evil sociopathic lying.



Posted by: linda

^^ I couldnt have said it better Anon.ll:56. I dare x17 to post a video of this encounter so we can see your loser paps surrounding and yelling at this poor family and making them miserable when all they were doing was coming out of a restaurant and then into their car.



Posted by: Anonymous

Maybe they don't like coming out of a fun family lunch to find their car surrounded by paps sticking a camera in their face. You can see other photos in this set and it shows how many creepie paps are running in front of them, behind them and surrounding the car. I wouldn't be happy either.

Hey, they sure don't turn away all the spoils of celebrity, i.e. MONEY, movie roles/directing, VIP treatment, freebies, adoration, so they need to stop their infantile WHINING about the paparazzi.

Photographers should be the worst thing they have to deal with in life when people are struggling to eat and pay bills. What frivolous ungrateful self-indulgent phonies (actually, it's really him not her.)

They'll be chasing after the paps soon enough when no one cares at all vs. the weak glimmer of caring now.

Also, they have the freedom to live anywhere in the world yet they choose to live in the paparazzi hornet's nest. What hypocrites. Stop complaining or move like many other "celebrities" have done.

Affleck just oozes toxicity. He should stop blaming everything and everyone for his failures. He's been given far more opportunities than his talent or looks warrant, and has done nothing with them.

He just oozes misery all the time. It's depressing to look at him.

Hi Ben x 5

She had such cute nice BF's before him. She must be kicking herself for choosing unwisely.

Do they ever go anywhere but the Country Mart



Posted by: MollyWood

I can't stand her mom jeans/sneakers/pony tail/no make-up look that she sports ALL THE TIME!!! She's a disgrace to Hollywood glamour if you ask me...he probably cheats like a mad man, lol. P.S. their daughter is not nearly as cute as a Ben Affleck baby should be...



Posted by: Anonymous

What a scroungy looking family. Jen needs to put some effort into her looks. She's probably depressed because he wouldn't care even if she did.



Posted by: Anonymous

They were having a good time UNTIL YOUR PAPS GOT IN THEIR FACE. Isn't it obvious...?! They want to go out with their family without you yelling at their children and harassing them.



Posted by: eyescansee

a picture is worth a thousand words.

and if they didnt want the paps to take their pics they would have stood home and ordered take-out and sat by their big azz pool and huge garden in their 15million mansion...its not like they live in a duplex or projects.....plz ....they could drive their butts to a non pap hang -out and eat lunch if they didnt want their pics taken........

and they dont look anoyed at the paps...they LOOK UNHAPPY MISRABLE...JOYLESS....LIKE THEY CANT STAND TO BE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER....COME ON BEN....HOLD HER HAND....HELP HER ACROSS THE STREET....INTO THE CAR....SHIELD HER FROM THOSE BAD FOTOGS....

Sorry but I looked at those pics again and I did not see a happy couple.

Ben isn't the settling down and getting married sort of guy he's a free spirit he feels miserable and trapped.



Posted by: kay

This 'family' is so FAKE!



Posted by: skhg

You're all a bunch of idiots, X17 included. I'm sure they had a very nice lunch 'til the papz showed up. Beautiful family, and that Vi's a doll!



Posted by: Affleck=nasty sourpuss

Waaa, waaaaa, waaaaaa, stop whining about the paps. As liberal as they are in their thinking, it's a free country, freedom of speech, free enterprise! Well, deal with it. The paps are making a living like many struggling Americans are trying to do now in this horrible economy. At least they are out working, generating money into this economy. They should be grateful that anyone would even want their pictures after the crappy movies they both make. The photogs want a pic of Violet, not them anyway. If he is thinking of going into politics (God help this country if he is), he better get used to the press being UP HIS ASS 24/7.

I've never seen more miserable people who have a beautiful family, home, life and the world by the tail. I know people who would cut off their right arm to have a tenth of what these people have. UNGRATEFUL BITCHES. Stop your whining.



Posted by: Anonymous

you're absolutely right anon 11:55
The only miserable people are haters aka JLO Fans.Who can't stand to see content with his family because it's not with their idol.He doesn't like the paps besides being annoying, yell stupid things to his kid.It would annoy anyone but Ben doesn't pay their game.He remains quiet and ignores them.Bravo! to you Ben for putting up with paps and haters.

12:25, because I look around the web at other pictures. I am smart enough to know that websites pick pictures that go along with whatever story they want to sell. Other sites publish all pictures in a set. The other picture tell more of a story.

Funny how the pictures of Ben and Jen walking, laughing and holding their children aren't published on here.



Posted by: Anonymous

You say the paps are the problem but there are many celebs you never see on these sites. If they didn't want to deal with the paps they wouldn't. Don't be so naive,this is just their chosen image.



Posted by: Anonymous

I love the seeing the Afflecks they are such a wonderful family. I like how they hang out together dressed up like normal people and not like stuck up wanna be seen celebs. Their babies are so adorable and they are so solid. Love them.



Posted by: Anonymous

To the dumb ass at 4:25 you don't see many celebs on these sites because nobody buys their pics. The only celebs who pics sell are the ones who generate interest. Grow a brain moron.



Posted by: Anonymous

Well, Ben and Jen must be GREAT actors because they have me thoroughly convinced that they are MISERABLE with each other.

Neither one has been scoring any points with their "work" in a long time, and they certainly aren't scoring in the "fan" department either. What's to like? Scowls? Sloppy dress? Bad azz attitude? Mediocre films?

They don't deserve each other or their fans! Either they need a pair of good divorce attorneys or a big bowl of anti-depressants.

If x17 posted pics of Marc Anthony looking like a crack cocaine addicted dirt bag with his lard ass ho of a wife JLo and their dragon tale twins, nobody would bother even opening the tread not even to post negative comments. So this family at least spikes the interest of lot of people. That's why they are followed and actually give the paparazzi a reason to harrass them on their own time. Funny how some stupid people think because they make money at their jobs in the entertainment field, they owe the public something. Take about dumb asses, well a lot of them have made comments to that effect. Is that crazy or what?



Posted by: Anonymous

They must be doing something right, you sure as hell follow them. What does that say about you asshole?



Posted by: Anonymous

Here's to 5:08...
Who's the dumb ass? If Jen and Ben want to keep the cash flow rolling in, they had better keep "working it" with the public! There are slews of better actors out there for the public to spend their cash on. If people get turned off with a celeb, they spend their money elsewhere. When their fans "aren't feelin' the luv" any more, movie offers dry up, investors hide out, agents don't take your calls... just ask Mel Gibson. Talent is only one small part of the total package. Jen is about as bland as boring as the paper that a movie ticket is printed on and Ben's acting muscles are as stale as ...

Without an infusion of energy or enthusiasm, they've had it!

What do you expect when you have lunch in Brentwood, it's hardly surprising the paps are there to take pictures of them. There's a lot more bothering these two than just the paps, they haven't looked happy together in a very long time.



Posted by: Lisa

to ^^^Nothing is bothering them EXCEPt THE PAPS! THey are not happy to be followed and yelled at by a BUNCH OF CRETINS. They are obviously happy together, and have a beautiful family. What they are not happy about it the behavior of the CRETINS that yell and them and surround their family. WOuld YOU be smiling? If you would be when all that crap is going on your are the idiot I think you are. If you think its "part of their job" you are an asshole, not them.

If they hated the paparazzi so much they could get take out from McDonalds like Brangelina. I have never seen a more miserable looking celebrity family, except for cutie Violet and her lollipop. You rarely see Ben spending time with his family and when you do he always looks miserable and now jennifer is looking just as miserable. Where's the baby they had to fix their marriage problems, they always leave her at home.



Posted by: Anonymous

Lisa, sweetie, since Jen and Ben are old industry PROS, I know they can avoid the PAPS if they wanted to. I'm sure that they don't get nearly as rattled by them as you appear to have. Settle down and take a deep breath.

If Ben had been as upset by the PAPS as you say, why wasn't he protecting his "girls"? Why was he keeping his distance from them? If he felt threatened by the photogs, why do we see his family out on the streets (daily) without him?

IMO, the pics reflected an estrangement/tension between Jen and Ben and they don't appear to concealing it from the cameras.

Yes, Lisa, I do think it's incumbant on them to rachet up their image if they want to continue to sell their product in the future.

Normal is not cheap. Most of the time his woman can't even fix herself properly. He is a no self esteem man who still blames his 6 years ago ex after he has 2 kids and marriage.His bad acting and choices of movies lead his carrier to flop not his break up. Anybody who saw Gile, clerk and all those stupid roles he stared one after another proved how much of bad of actor he is not only that how much bad choices he make. He should just marry jennifer Aniston whinning over exes. Who wants to see this wuss in the office? He can't even lead his personal life properly , make this all bad choices and balaming nature he has?



Posted by: Anonymous

I agree with eyescansee. They are not a happy couple. Too bad for the children. For some unknown reason Ben can't be happy.



Posted by: Cassy

And, HE said being with JLo was BAD for HIS career?? BAD for HIS career?? Shame on you Ben. The fault lies within.



Posted by: Anonymous

Ben and Jen rock and are very good at making sure the paps don't get a money shot of them to sell the tabloids. He knows that what turned the public off when he was getting his cock sucked by that tramp JLo. It will never happen with his true love. He does protect his family by not being an ass for the media. Way to go Ben. You Afflecks rock and that a fact.



Posted by: Anonymous

Cassy, that remark regarding JLo was made years ago. Gossip sites rehashed it to sell to idiots like you who don't care to research the truth. It had just the effect that was intended. Don't be such a sucker. Know the truth and the truth will set you free. He never said JLo herself was bad for his career he said that the spectacle they made of their relationship was bad for his career. I bet if you ask Lopez, she would tell you the same thing. Her career was damaged as well. She was also hurt by it. I understand it was as bad as the Heidi and Spencer escapades. Funny he learned from it but JLo is doing the same thing with Skeletor, always dressing up and posing for for photogs and hugged up for the tabloids and gossip websites. But she sells them to the highest bidder (including pics of her babies). Ben is trying to prove himself and his talent by staying out of the limelight. He wants to judged by his work not by his personal life. He has already made great strides. You are not very bright are you? It seems you just want to rain hate on Ben for kicking JLo to the curb. I agree with him, he should have never gone down that road. For the record, the Afflecks dress like normal people not like circus freaks.

Anon 7:34: You have no idea what you are talking about. These pictures are posted with closeups of each. if you see a group of the pictures they were running to the car Together. Ben is WORKING in boston, they must have a good marriage if he flies all the way out to LA for each weekend to see his girls. He could easily Stay out there 2, 3 weeks without coming home because of work like Tom Cruise is spendng 3 weeks in LA (and counting) without seeing his family. How stupid to say you see "estrangement/tension " when they are running to their car through a bunch of paps. It makes you sound like you are just wishing that on them and WANT to see that. Isnt there enuf out there for you? Get off the internet, I'm sure there are some close to home you know about.



Posted by: Anonymous

4:44 you are way off in that they have been "scoring" a ton of points with fans and critics alike.

Yes, Ben made some bad movies, but since then he has made better choices starting with Hollywood Land and working forward. Both Ben and Jen have gotten great reviews for their work in their past few movies. Ben has won awards for his directing. His moive Gone Baby Gone had an actress nominated for A. Award. He has been flying back and forth from LA to Boston getting ready to direct another movie.



Posted by: g

anyway, anything, anywhere I do hope their happy marriage and happy family forever. she is one of clever and good mother and also good wife in hollywood. there are men who thinks to show laugh and smile outside is silly.
