Jennifer Garner ‘Stalker’ Sent To Psychiatric Unit

Filed under: Ben Affleck,Jennifer Garner,Loon

A man accused of stalking Jennifer Garner and her family has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Steven Burky pleaded no contest to two counts of felony stalking at Los Angeles County District Court on Tuesday, after continually harassing the Alias star since 2002.

Garner was awarded a permanent restraining order against Burky in 2008, which stated he should stay at least 100 yards away from the actress and her family. The order was set to last until 2011.

But Burky was spotted outside the Los Angeles nursery the actress’ four-year-old daughter Violet attends in December, and arrested.

The 37-year-old’s aunt claimed that his obsession was the result of a psychological condition – and court officials agreed.

A judge found Burky not guilty of the offences by reason of insanity during a hearing on Tuesday, and ruled that he should be sent to a state mental hospital.

The judge also ordered Burky to stay away from Garner, her husband Ben Affleck and their family for 10 years if he is released, reports the Associated Press.

Filed under: Ben Affleck,Matt Damon,Robert Downey Jr.,Zac Efron

Robert Downey, Jr. and Zac Efron are the latest stars connected to producing deals with movie studio Warner Bros.

The Iron Man actor and his wife, producer Susan Downey, are reportedly in negotiations to sign a first-look deal with the film giant, following speculation Warner Bros. bosses are also in talks with best pals Ben Affleck and Matt Damon for a similar contract.

High School Musical idol Zac Efron has been confirmed as signing a two-year deal with Warner Bros., which will see the star’s manager act as executive producer on all his projects with the studio.

Sounds to me like Warner’s is giving away the store.

The top 10 as follows:

1) Gigli, 2003

2) The Hottie & the Nottie, 2008

Affleck Is Desperate For A Son

Filed under: Ben Affleck,Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck is begging wife Jennifer Garner to get pregnant one more time and give him the son he’s desperate for.

The couple have two daughters, Violet, four, and 12-month-old Seraphina, and Affleck is keen for a baby boy to complete the trio.

But Garner is reluctant to abandon the pre-pregnancy figure she worked so hard to achieve.

The actress says, “Ben would like a boy, but I don’t want another baby right now.”

And Garner’s friends are on her side, one pal telling the star, “You don’t want to do that all over again. You worked hard to get your body back.”

Poor Benny boy, he’s tired of hanging around the women all day. You see Jennifer out everywhere with the girls, Ben wants some boy time. I say do it!!! I don’t think there are a pair of better parents in Hollywood!

Affleck Stunned By Lively

Filed under: Ben Affleck,Blake Lively,Movie News

Ben Affleck had no idea who Gossip Girl star Blake Lively was when she auditioned for his latest movie – and he was so stunned by her talent he hired her on the spot.

The actor/director was unaware of Lively’s fame when she tried out for a role in The Town, and was convinced she would be no good in front of the cameras.

But he was so impressed with the 22 year old’s performance he handed her the role immediately – and re-wrote the part of single-mum Krista to make it more suitable for a younger actress.

Affleck says,

“The whole movie kind of hinges in a lot of ways on her performance, and I knew it was going to be the hardest part to cast. This girl came in, and no one had said to me beforehand, ‘Hey, look for this person.’ And obviously she was really attractive, and so I thought, ‘Oh, here comes some blonde girl.’ She came in, did one reading, and just crushed it. I was sort of stunned. I said, ‘Jeez, you know, that was really f**king good. Who are you?’ She didn’t mention that she was on a television show.

“I just said, ‘Look, there’s no alternative. I don’t have a second choice (in casting this role).’”

And Affleck is convinced Lively has a big future in Hollywood.

He adds,

“I want to be on the record because I think she’s really going to blow up, and I want to look like the smart guy. I didn’t quite discover her, but at least I want to say I bought the stock when it wasn’t $500 a share.”

Damn, that’s a strong endorsement from Ben.
