Actor/director/smokin' hot daddy Ben Affleck will appear on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show tomorrow, and here's a sneak peak at what the Oscar winner has to say about family life and his struggles with shopping.
Ben explains, "[M]y wife is so capable and because I'm less so, she does a lot of that work and I kind of root her on. I'm encouraging ... It takes her as much energy and effort to buy like the 20 gifts we're going to buy other people, as it does [for me] to buy her gift. I spend the whole time, fretting about that and being nervous and hoping she likes that. And then I end up at like CVS on the 24th being like, "Maybe she'd like a little Godzilla that goes around."
Eh, who cares if he sucks at holiday shopping -- he certainly seems to love Jen and the kids, and as long as he carries Violet in his arms, all is well in the world...

Angelina Jolie and took Shiloh, Pax, Maddox and Zahara to the aquarium at Trocadero place in Paris, France this morning, and it looks like the whole gang was very excited for their adventure. But where was Brad? Perhaps he couldn't get himself out of those
leather pants from last night?

Natalie Portman wowed at IFP's 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani in NYC last night, but the actress reveals that dropping a whopping 20 pounds for her starring role in
Black Swan was quite the challenge.
"I think it was just the physicality of it all that was the most extreme," she told
Us Weekly last night. "I mean, I had never gotten that much training - to be doing five-to-eight hours a day of [it] was really a challenge." A year before shooting began, the 5'3" actress got in shape by doing a combination of extreme ballet, cross-training, and swimming, and when asked if she'd do it all over again, she replied, "I think I would do this kind of training again because it's just so rewarding. It's always one of those things where, when you put in a lot, you get out a lot."

Hard to believe that Reese Witherspoon is the mother of an 11-year-old daughter! The 34-year-old A-lister, wearing a flirty Burberry Prorsum dress, looks incredible on the cover of
Glamour Magazine's January issue.
Reese is getting candid about her sexuality. She tells the mag:
"I think as a woman, you get older, you feel more confident in your sexuality. You’re not as intimidated by it, not as embarrassed by it. Sexuality and femininity is an accumulation of age and wisdom and comfort in your own skin. I feel better - so much better now than I ever did in my twenties. I am calmer; I know who I am. And as a result, I feel much sexier.â€Â
The blonde beauty, who is currently dating her agent, Jim Toth, isn't afraid of movie roles going to younger actresses. She tells
Glamour:
“There’s always going to be somebody younger or sexier. That’s why I like to say, and it’s become my famous line, ‘Funny doesn’t sag.’â€Â
Now we love her even more! In addition to talking about her love for fellow actresses Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Aniston and Katherine Heigl ... Reese also opens up about the possibility of more kids. The mother of Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7, adds:
"I would love to have more kids. Kids are the best part of my day. I don’t wake up to make movies. I wake up to hang out with my family.â€Â
Loves it!

David Beckham is back in London, and the soccer star is enjoying all the city has to offer ... especially the pubs!
Sexy Becks and pal James Corden hit up London's Punchbowl Pub for a night out with the guys. But why such a serious face? Maybe he was stuck paying the bill. No worries ... the soccer stud still looks like a million bucks even if he's not smiling.
With a family of three boys and Posh at home, the man needs a break. Cheers, David!

Kim Kardashian has got her wave down to a science. As the reality star left her New York Hotel, her hand goes up to greet fans, but above the neck, no movement. Not even a smile. Perhaps she was thinking about the
MasterCard deal debacle ... and how the multi-million dollar agreement was terminated.
Makes you wonder if the constant attention is finally getting to Kim K? Judging that her everyday life is captured on camera, we have a feeling she loves the attention.

We'll admit, we can't wait to see their upcoming show,
Kourtney and Kim Take New York. Speaking of big sister Kourt, Mason's mama was all smiles as she faced the flashbulbs. Khloe, too, has never looked better. Way to keep it real!

We had a pretty heated debated in the office over whether Brad Pitt looked absolutely amazing at tonight's
Megamind premiere in Paris or whether he and Angelina Jolie had gone a bit off the fashion deep end ...
Turns out we're divided on Brad -- some like his top half; bottom half, not so much ... Others dislike the entire ensemble (Leather pants? On Brad Pitt?!).
For Angie, her velvet pants and sequined top seemed uninspired at the very least but let's face it, these two look pretty good in anything. No fair!

You know LiLo is itching to get back to Los Angeles and her normal life!
Actress Lindsay Lohan is currently staying at a Betty Ford-owned sober house in Rancho Mirage until January 3, 2011. But is there any possibility she'll get out early?
Due to her good behavior and success in completing her treatment thus far, Lindsay has been allowed day passes from the center to visit her West Hollywood apartment and to do a photo shoot.
Most recently, the 24-year-old was awarded 15 hours to
celebrate Thanksgiving in LA with her father and friends.
And today, the rehabilitating starlet and her sober house received a
"Sober Shine Award" for maintaining their sobriety. Props for all the good work!
Question is, will Linds use these accolades in an attempt to be released from the center early, before Christmas?
Judge Fox made it clear back in October that he wanted Ms. Lohan in court-ordered rehab "past the New Year. You are an addict, I hope you understand that," he said to her at the time.
Still, Linds must be getting antsy to get back to work. Now that she's
quit Inferno, she has no new projects in development. Maybe she should try a rom-com when she's a free woman again in January?
