This Is How Things Should Have Been

How weird to play happy family with your ex. Hope Vartan has a new flame. Otherwise this sucks big time for him.

Boo to the "the way things should have been"

I don't agree at all.

I like her with Ben.

Naw! Ben Affleck can run circles around this ditz. In talent, and intellect. Michael Vartan is a ditz ptreety boy TV guy.

Look at me, i'm so handsome.... whatever, idiot.

Those are some cute pics tho..They look really natural

eeeewwwwwwww!!!!...look at his feet!!!!!

No one thinks this is the way it should have been. Get over Vartan, he is boring and has a pointy face. In a few years he will look even more like a weasel. She and Ben are great together and great for each other. He has stopped running around and gambling, and she just glows all the time. And they don't drag Violet out so she will get her picture taken

I grew up in the same neighborhood in WV as JG, who is 4 years older than me, and we were both in the same plays as kids. She was a nice normal person then and probably is now. I'm happy for her and Ben. Good for her--I nabbed me a Boston boy too and they make great husbands.

Plus you can tell she's not crazy like certain celebs and she gave her daughter a normal down to earth yet pretty name. You go Jen!

Congrats to Miu- the headline is entirely appropriate. It is so sad to see that Violet inherited Ben's mutant forehead.

Personally I don't get why ANYONE would dump Vartan for Affleck. Affleck doesn't have a single distinguishing feature! He's totally bland.

ROTFLMAO that so many think that the little Mrs. has married and reformed a womanizer and addict and turned him into the perfect husband and daddy...NOT! Hee, he's already been spotted up to no good on several occasions. But continue on ladies with all your goodness that you think is Affleck because many will have the last laugh when shit hits the tabloid fan. Truth takes time...you might do well to remember that.

Well, gee thanks for ruining it for me. SOME of your readers don't live in the US and haven't seen this season yet.

Just great.

I like Jennifer but LOOK at HER feet, they're nasty. But that's probably the only thing that's bad on her because she is a cute person.

JG would have been much better off with Vartan. Affleck has been having a hell of a good time in both Boston and New York. Once a sleeze always a sleeze.

Ben couldn't get away with any of that running around stuff even if he wanted to- that is all made up crap by that fool on E - Ted whatever. He even said Ben was running around at the Superbowl, going to strip clubs and stuff. Ben can't even get a cup of coffee or punp gas without pictures being taken - and you think he is getting away with things? Get over it.

Chris X, you have no idea, do you? He does it and gets away with it. Money prods many people into being discrete but only for so long. Me get over it? You're the one that needs to get over your fixation that Affleck has turned over a new leaf.

Affleck never turned over a "new leaf". He just got a lot more discreet. I feel sorry for JG, who by all accounts really does seem like a sweetheart. She deserves better.

Daisy, Jen probably has bad feet because she used to do Ballet. She did it for a couple of years and practiced 6 hours a day and Ballet can really mess up ur toes.

Her feet are pretty good compared to the women who wear stiletto heels 24/7.

I think she is better with Varrtan because although you might find him boring he at least will not cheat on her. Looks like the loyal type. I think he still loves her. but bad boy Ben (big Noggin) Affleck has too many vices- gambling,strip clubs, commitment issues, and of course he cheats also. Gwenyth couldnt tame him though she tried, jennifer tried to clean him up but that didn't last, Hes with her most likely because she got knocked up by him. Otherwise he would have moved on. You cant change the stripes on that boy. Even she sys she has no delusions about marriage (translation= I dont know how this is gonna last)

Bad boys grow up - I know

Not all bad boys grow up. Some bad boys who are wanting to repair their reputation and regain their status in the industry will go to all lengths to portray themselves in the positive light such as Affleck had done. But that doesn't necessarily mean that when he's out of sight of his wife and the photogs...on the opposite coast...that he's not up to his old tricks during the late hours of the night or the wee hours of the morning. There's been far too many tiny mentions of him on the net being seen where he wasn't supposed to be and doing what he wasn't supposed to be doing.

When I think of a bad boy changing to a good boy, I now immediately think of Charlie Sheen, who nearly everyone thought he had changed when he married. Wow, did he fool everyone...nuff said.

very good point. bad boys do grow up and become good. When they are too old to do it anymore...ex_Michael Douglas, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicolson. Then there are those that pretend- Charlie Sheen, Matt Leblanc, Sting,(he has a fascination with strip clubs now). And of course you know Ben Affleck is not far behind. So Jennifer would either turn a blind eye or wait till hes in his fifties.

Um . . . don't go feeling too sorry for Vartan. You never know WHY Garner "dumped" him. It could have something to do with his very bad habit of using his celebrity status to get women into bed with them, then telling them to get lost when he's done with them.

He's certainly no innocent in all of this.

Oh, Cyn...my oh my....a former Fametracker...then again maybe you're Fabulous who told that story. Small world, these message boards/comment sections. His breakup with Garner had nothing whatsoever to do with him sleeping with other women prior to their relationship beginning but it had everything to do with her and Affleck...the reason he broke off the relationship. Actually it was more like she was doing the sleeping around. I doubt he's using his celebrity status to pick up women. And if a woman is stupid enough to buy such a line from any single male, celebrity or not, then they deserve what they get. No one twists those women's arms to crawl into bed with a celebrity unless they actually want to do it. It would be much more to any woman's advantage to play virgin if she really wanted him or any other man to respect her and wanting it to turn into something other than just sex instead of jumping into bed just because he says he "loves" her. That's the oldest line in the book by any man looking for sex. Have young women not figured this out yet? Obviously not. Oh, and BTW, if he had the reputation of using his status as a celeb to entice women into his bed, I'm quite sure we would be hearing about his exploits in the tabs/blogs/message boards the same as we hear about Colin F., et al, and all their exploits.

I agree with you Kristin. Actually its the first time that I have heard someone say that Michael left JG. Michael will not talk about it other than to say that things did not work out, that it was a short relationship not long enough to form an emotional tie. From what I have read Michael is a very private person and does not like the limelight. He is not your typical hollywood type.

Vartan is too hot for JG! She's better off with with another talentless minger like herself. Uh-huh, Affleck's only talent is riding on Matt Damon's coat tail. Who knows when Damon is going to kick his ass to the curb.
