Jennifer Garner hit the gym over the weekend, and is it just us, or is she looking better than ever? With each passing day, the chances of her reconciling with estranged hubby Ben Affleck seem like more and more of a stretch, so we have a feeling she's just about moved on from Nannygate and their split. Good for her!

In other news, Alias creator J.J. Abrams recently revealed that he had his doubts about casting the actress in the show back in the day. As you may remember, Garner rocketed to fame (and scored tons of die hard fans) for her role as badass spy Sydney Bristow. Abrams chatted with Chris Rock at the Tribeca Talks series at the Tribeca Film Festival in downtown Manhattan and said, "[After Garner's audition] I remember someone at the network was like, 'I don't know, is she hot enough?'" Ouch!

Of course, Garner got the role, and Abrams covered himself by gushing about the star. "Jen was so great, and she did everything," he said. "And it was incredible doing the pilot – I remember watching her kind of find this strength in herself. It was just so cool to see, and she just did a spectacular job."

Seems to us like she's only getting better with age. Bad move, Ben!
