Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner took a crying Seraphina and unhappy-looking Violet out on Sunday evening in Beverly Hills.
It is rare to see Ben and Jen out together (maybe the girls were just confused?) but the couple were also together Saturday night when they roasted Ben's old pal Matt Damon at The 24th annual American Cinematheque Awards Saturday night.
"Ben is half of one of the greatest love stories ever told. Not with me," Garner said of the "bromance" between Matt & Ben. "Here's proof that love is alive and well in Hollywood, Jen continued, roasting Ben as much as Matt. "At least for my darling husband and my husband's darling husband."
Ben also teased his old pal (although not nearly as well), asking, "Who would imagine Matt would be here tonight? No one."
Point Jen.

Simon Cowell was in great spirits as always when we caught up with him and his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy on the streets of Beverly Hills Sunday.
Simon, who's normally smiling when we catch him out in person unlike his tv counterpart which is usually scowling, talked to us about everything from his next car purchase (a classic) to his favorite
AI contestant. In fact the only thing he
wouldn't talk about was his wedding!
Check out the vid and see what Simon says!

Ricky Martin has announced to the world that he is gay, via his
official website. Today, the Latin superstar posted the following emotional letter to his fans:
A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And this is something worth celebrating.
For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that's the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It's my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don't ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I'm at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I'm feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share.
Many people told me: "Ricky it's not important", "it's not worth it", "all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse", "many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature". Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.
If someone asked me today, "Ricky, what are you afraid of?" I would answer "the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war...child slavery, terrorism...the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith." But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment.
These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed.
What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment. The word "happiness" takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.
I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.

Selena Gomez's overly done hair is so distracting, I can't even focus on her adorable face or her age appropriate outfit! This morning the teen Disney queen promoted her new album "Kiss & Tell" in Madrid, and since I don't have anything nice to say about her red carpet style, I'll stay silent.

Adam Lambert says he's certainly a fan of Lady Gaga, but in no way does he want to be compared to the pop star. Glambert has taken to the twittersphere to clear the air.
On his official Twitter page, Adam tweets:
Just did my third German interview where I was told that I have said "I'm the male Lady Gaga". Lol I would never say that. I'm Adam Lambert
The ex-
American Idol says that although he has the highest respect for the 24-year-old
Telephone singer, he'd rather not talk about Gaga, but instead about "MY art."
Adam goes on to say:
Of course I'm a fan ... and there some theatrical sensibilities that we share- but we are different people.
Do we sense a
bad romance brewing?

Last week, A. Larry Ross Communications filed a lawsuit in Denton County District Court alleging that disgraced beauty queen Carrie Prejean owes them nearly $65,000 for services rendered.
After she made it clear that she was against gay marriage, Prejean hired A. Larry Ross Communications to help market her as a Christian celeb, which included "extensive interview training" among other things.
The PR firm alleges that Carrie owes them $64,857 for hundreds of hours of work, and it seems like they have pretty solid evidence to back it up! One of the conference calls the firm coordinated was with Donald Trump himself, and they even confirmed a joint press conference with Trump and pageant officials in May of 2009.
