Ben & Jen GQ It Up

Ben & Jen GQ It Up

Jennifer Garner showed up to support hubby Ben Affleck (pictured below) for last night’s GQ 2006 Men of the Year Awards for the magazine’s 11th Annual Men of the Year issue in West Hollywood. Ben was profiled amidst Oscar buzz for his role as TV Superman George Reeves in Hollywoodland.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell and Jay-Z have all been named GQ magazine’s 2006 men of the year.

In not one of her best looks to date, Jen donned an aubergine minidress with interesting detailing and peep-toe heels. What do you think of Jen’s short hair?

I think she looks great!

# 2

The shoes are the least of her problems. That dress looks like the one I bought at Gunne Sax in 1995 for my junior prom.

I think she looks lovely. Dress and shoes aside (I think we’ve all seen worse) I like the way she took her time getting back into shape after Violet. There seems to be a competition in H-wood to get as stick-thin as possible after giving birth.

# 4

I think she looks awesome!! I hope she doesn’t try to get any thinner than she already is. She has a great body. Her dress isn’t my favorite, but she looks great. Her hair looks good too. I am not a fan of super long straight do nothing with it hair.

# 5

She looks mar-ve-lous !!! And so does Ben.

# 6

Jen’s dress is really pretty, the shoes are nice, her hair looks good. Ben looks handsome. ‘Nough said!

# 7

She looks like a man. Look at that face and those shoulders…she’s a MAN!!!

# 8

they are both as boring as watching paint dry

# 9

and besides I still have not forgotten that Ben chased after Jlo got rid of poor Chris Judd(nice guy) and then cheated on Jlo with a bunch of hookers. What and insecure person.

beautiful and sweet, both of them.

Beatiful couple. I love them. I wonder when they are going to have another baby. Their little girl Violet is a doll.

Denise Richards @ 11/30/2006 at 10:40 am

They both look beautiful. A very handsome couple.

Denise Richards @ 11/30/2006 at 10:41 am

Oh yeah, and they are good people to boot.

She’s trying to be sexy and seductive like JLo. What happened to the simple Jen?

i Dunno but to me she looks like she walked str8 off the corner in some of these pics. yes she had the same outfit on. but some poses and faces she looks lil strung out. her bodys back, but is the person?

She looks awesome. Ben must feel lucky!

Original jpf @ 11/30/2006 at 11:27 am

Love them much and she looks DAYUM great! One couple on my short list of celeb’s relationships I think are gonna make it all the way. Good stuff.

jpf

I think they both look really nice. A great looking couple.
Donna A.

She does look a little funky in a couple pix, but I like the fact that she is natural. No botox for her! I hope she stays like that and doesn’t go the Nicole Kidman way and freezes her forehead.

She looks hot, she made some fashion faux pas but she’s not atrocious and her hair looks VERY good.

She looks just like Rachel Mcadams and that is NOT a good thing!

I can’t see the pictures!

I wonder how long it will be before Ben starts his old problems of drinking and gambling.

He will never be as famous as he once was.

do either of them have a movie to premote??….because all this publicity and happy couple with a baby routing after they declared the wanted to keep a low profile.

She looks like a hooker but maybe that’s what Ben wants her to look like.

Jailbird…..
Ben and Jen were at the GQ Event because Ben is One of GQ’s Men of the Year.
Ben has been promoting “Hollywoodland” which he has been getting great reviews and Oscar buzz.
Some of you people are talking out of the side of your necks.
The interviewers are asking questions about Violet, Ben just answered the questions.

Ben and Jen make a nice looking couple.

wow! I love the dress, she looks great!!

“Not her best look”–whatchu smoking Jared? I think she looks fantastic, the hair’s cute on her.

LOL it’s a man baby!
Seriously, Jen Affleck should NOT be showing off her arms like that in a strapless gown.
What happened to women being soft and feminine?

Not Jen’s best look. She’s uh looking a little manly.

Ben’s out there promoting himself and his role in Hollywoodland because the award buzz around him is fizzling. Not that I blame him, it’s really competitive in the best supporting actor race this year. For a brief moment, it looked like a sure thing he’d get a nomination but now not so much. He wants one badly so he and Ken Sunshine are doing everything to keep his profile visible.

She looks like Jho except Jho looks pretty and feminine garner looks like a man.

Am I the only one who thinks that she’s hideously ugly?

Also I should add that, I’ve never seen the appeal of Jennifer Garner, she’s like any average girl that you can see at a local coffe shop. Personally I think she looks like a man.

Some that are saying she is ugly are out of their minds. Also I think her and Ben make a much better couple than J Lo and Ben. J Lo is also better off with Marc Anthony. Alls well that ends well…..

they both look great!

They are an AWESOME couple…down to earth and GORGEOUS!! I hope they make it…they seem so real.

sultrydame @ 11/30/2006 at 4:57 pm

They’re looking good. They’re my 2nd favorite couple. ;) (Brangelina rocks to my #1!)

Publicists pay and campagin for these prime positions like GQ man of the year and People’s Sexiest man of the year. It’s all about who will pay the most money for the spot and who’s publicist has the most power.

To tell you the truth I have not heard Ben’s name mentioned anywhere for about 1 year…..actually I thought he gave up acting or couldn’t get a job because of the mess he had become, so for him to get man of the year is a joke.

Just because a woman is muscular doesn’t mean she looks like a man. I think Jennifer Garner is beautiful and healthy looking, unlike a lot of the skeletal women that you find in Hollywood.

I like how Ben pimps-out his wife and kid just to keep his name current…..hollywood people are so phony!!

Original jpf @ 11/30/2006 at 5:43 pm

What the hell is wrong with some of you?! You’re so jaded, nasty and depressed acting! Ok, we get it, you won’t be happy until Ben falls off the wagon, Jennifer looks bummed 24/7, and Violet is hanging with Paris! My I hope you aren’t this negative in your life off the web. Sounds like a Dlisted, PH, Celeb T thread here.

jpf

Why do I keep thinking that Ben Affleck will scr*w up? Because he likes strippers. Even Gwyneth Paltrow basically said he likes the kind of women with big t*ts. He likes the sexy, ****** women. Far cry from his wife. He has been a drinker and a gambler. All those Las Vegas trips were not for nothing. Unless he’s truly cleaned up his act, I think the little imp is still in him somewhere. I hope he doesn’t break Garner’s heart. Recently he said he honestly doesn’t know what Garner sees in him. That’s not good. Makes me believe he knows something we don’t. He’s a typical politician pursuing a career. Facade.

The censored word above was SL*TTY.

The only question I have is….what the HELL is the problem with the two of them being photographed together….come on the secrets out, everyone knows you’re married….get over yourselves!

Her hair & makeup look awful!!
The dress & body look great.

why do i get the feeling that he is not happy in the relationship?
Time will tell, i guess.

auntlovie @ 11/30/2006 at 7:24 pm

You guys are really harsh! They are not my favorite couple (angie and Brad are), but my first thought was…wow, she FINALLY got some style to her dressing. She has always had a matronly look! I think they both look great compared to hundreds of other pics of them! God Bless them and their little daughter.

Purple is not her color But she is very pretty

Ben Affleck GQ’s man of the year, yeah keep dreaming. If you had read the article some of you need to read the blurb. It said that Leonardo,Jay-z and Will Ferrel were the men of the year, Ben wishes that he was. He was just there to promote himself like he was on Ellen yesterday. Since the movie he had semi good reviews came out way back in September he needs to remind the voter that he is worthy of a nomination for the Golden Globes or if he is extremely lucky and Oscar buzz,but I doubt it the buzz that was around him was way before real actors with great roles started to come out.

Ben only looks happy if people are praising and liking him, and if his career is going well. He feeds off others’ opinions of him. He really is an insecure guy. He sounded really excited to have more babies on the Ellen show (being sarcastic here). I have a feeling once he gets the praise and wins the Oscar to get validation for himself, he’s gonna start reverting back to his old bad habits. Mark. my. words.

she looks like kate beckinsale in pearl harbor. but very hot! love this couple…

She will always be Sydney Bristow to me.
Love her~

=======================================================

No it doesn’t. Jessica Biel is probably one the sexiest women in Hollywood right now, IMO. But Jennifer Garner has a mans face. She actually doesn’t bother me at all, after all thats how evolution works, some people are just boring ugly. What bothers me is all the blind people that keep saying she looks sexy and she’s hot. Sorry but she ain’t hot. Nor do I think Angie is hot, but at least in her case I can see why people think she is.

I wish people would stop pretending as if Jennifer Garner is some innocent sweet girl. She cheated on her man with her co-star while she was married and then proceeded to continue the relationship after she divorced her husband on national TV.

Ben Affleck isn’t going to mess anything up. She might mess it up, she has a track record for doing that, at least he wasn’t married and all the mess about him is rumour.

Still, I think they look good together and are happy. They are trying to create a relationship that doesn’t have a thing to do with hollywood, while they are both still actors. That has to be hard. I think they will try their best and hopefully it will work. I hope they have more kids and remain strong and happy as they appear.

But stop with the Ben Affleck is a screw up mess because that’s not true. Garner and Affleck are both screw ups. Or maybe they are both just human. At any rate they have as much of a chance as the rest of us.

Right on with your “vibes.” Ben Afflect does not look happy. He does not look relaxed. I’ve noticed it for some time. His smiles look forced, similar to the way he smiled at the end of his romance with JLo.

He’s doing his best, but for how long?

I love the Afflecks. Jen is stunning, and Ben with stubble is sexy as hell.

I really do hope they last ‘cos they seem so genuine and compared to other celebrity couples they are hardly really in the spotlight!!!

I never find Jennifer beautiful or stunning or hot; she looks nice, pretty. With all these hair, makeup and dress (which are awful by the way) she looks little prettier, but that’s it!

I think that Jennifers are pretty woman but JLo! She got it and she is the woman! JLo is an exception.

About Ben, he is losing it, he doesn’t look as good as before. He lost what he had before, look at his strange smile.

I don’t like his drinking and gambling stuff and I don’t find him reliable.

To Lula29 above: You are right about one thing, she is a cheater. However,you are terribly wrong about another. She didn’t cheat with Vartan. To the contrary, Affleck was the cause of her marriage going south. Foley got wind of the flirting and so forth taking place on the set of Daredevil which caused significant problems in the marriage and which ultimately caused the marriage to end. She only latched on to Vartan when J-Lo and Affleck hooked up. But when the J-Lo/Affleck relationship bit the dust, it didn’t take her long to get her digs in on Affleck to the point of cheating while in a relationship with Vartan. But her image continues to be whitewashed by her PR people who are paid very well. At one time, I thought she was the greatest person ever and my favorite but I digress.

Jaromir,
You have to remember that everyone has their opinion of what is considered “beautiful” or “hot”. It’s not fact, it’s OPINION. You might think that Jennifer is ugly or boring but someone else may think otherwise. If you think that about Garner, that’s fine, I respect your opinion.

Lula29 hit it right on the head, they are human, just like the rest of us. They’ve made mistakes in their life, the same as we all of done. I think they are a great couple and will beat the odds. Oh and Happy 1st Birthday to Violet!!

who cares @ 12/01/2006 at 3:48 pm

Kate:

Ben WAS GQ Man of the Year for the comeback category. He was there because he was being honored…not to promote himself. There were several other categories as well. But, you’re right, Leo, Jay-Z and Will were the main honorees.

As for Jen, I think she is lovely. They seem very happy and have a cute little girl. I hope they are one of the few H-town couples that make it work. I honestly have never seen and proof (besides what tabloids say) that she was unfaithful during her marriage, but I don’t care. The past is the past. She may not have a great track record and may have dated around, but there was more to the demise of her marriage than flirting…she was spending 24/7 on Alias, SF’s career was in the toilet….etc. Let it go.

What’s missing from Jennifer Garner is attitude. JLo has some fire and some temper and that’s sexier.

I always thought Garner was a down-home type of girl, you know, traditional. Seems like from good family, morals, college educated, etc. No longer think so. I think she set her sights on Affleck the first time she met him. Then, she was waiting for the opportunity to “snag” him. Probably a case of “love at first sight” for her, a powerful feeling. Garner sure didn’t waste time allowing herself to get pregnant out of wedlock. Really surprised she did that. Didn’t think she believed in it.

I really doubt that Affleck said, “Ok, let’s try now to have a baby because I’m ready to be a father.” I think the relationship was sailing along and he enjoyed dating her. He didn’t have other prospects at the time and and I’m sure he knew how crazy she was about him. So, when she turned up pregnant, he had to do the “right” thing. So, he married her in a secretive ceremony on some beach with few guests. I don’t understand the stars. When sure of true love and money is no problem, why downplay such an important event? I hope this marriage works.

Jennifer doesn’t esp. have a pretty face; just nice body.

I love Jen’s dress, she’s got a great body. Not feeling the make up though.

Scott Foley has actually said himself that Garner did not cheat on him. I doubt he’d say that if that weren’t the case. The tabloids like to make stuff up, and of course they published stories about her cheating when she was linked to Vartan not long after she and Foley had decided to split. And she didn’t cheat on Vartan, either. They had already broken up when Garner and Affleck met again while shooting a scene for Elektra, and started going out.

she looks ok here.

Ben looks very nice. I love him dressed up.

LuciLou,

Look I’m not saying that Vartan was the cause of the break up of her marriage to Foley.

Mimi,

I know that’s what he says, but Garner is not miss innocent at all so the implication that if a break up happens it will be because Affleck goes back to his ways is bogus. Foley is a gentleman, but Garner is not that innocent.

I don’t hate Garner, but I’m saying, she’s not perfect. Just because she’s a woman doesn’t mean she will be the automatic victim. Her and Affleck seem happy. I wish them the best.

I think Foley did something wrong and it shattered Garner so much until she couldn’t try to make the marriage work. He probably cheated. For some reason, I can see it happening because Garner is that kind of woman who thinks life is so wonderful and beautiful. She’s an idealist and optimist. She’s smiley in most photos and lives in la-la land, thinking her life is perfect until it’s too late.

Opinion,

Stop trying to make Garner a victim because she’s a woman. She kind of has a track record. Does it make her satan, no. I don’t judge at all, I’m just irritated that some women need to make a woman the innocen victim in every situation when that’s obviously not the case.

A lot of people smile in pictures. A lot of people cheat to end a relationship. Garner happens to be like a lot of people.

Again, I don’t hate Garner at all. I think she even looks good in these photos, though some have ripped her. I started to comment just because people were stating “I hope Affleck doesn’t screw up” like as if Garner is an angel. I just had to add my “Oh please!”.

It’s amazing what a good stylist can do with two “ordinary” looking people.

I don’t believe Garner is innocent, but she won’t do anything against Ben Affleck unless he does something first. She adores him, but he looks hesitant to me. It will be Ben who messes things up if they are going to get messed up. He’s the one who battled alcohol and gambling. I predict.

I agree he is hesitant and I really didn’t think that until I saw him on Ellen. That really made me look at this couple a lot differently.

But hey, she wanted him with a fierceness and she got him by any means necessary so it’s her sword to live and die by now.

If something happens well, it will involve both of their actions, not just Affleck’s.

I am a big fan of Jennifer Garner and I want to know her better by knowing where whe is at and all that and I just want to be best friends with her and I am the biggest fan of Alias Seasons 1-5. I hope you get to see them.
