Hadn't he already been to rehab?

Whoa, I bet the current Mrs. Affleck never saw this or it would have been a deal-breaker! My husband once flirted with a nurse while drugged and awaiting surgery. The entire episode was "You're really pretty" - but I was mortified! Poor Jennifer Garner.

Old News

Ben had an ongoing interview flirt with this reporter. They'd met several times previously for various publicity things and it was generally like this. I do like that you can smell the booze through the net on this clip though.

Ok, and...

So he is playing with the reporter... and? she is having fun, he is having fun, is there a problem?

For a liberal crowd the level of prudishness is a might high...

AnonOnSalon Has Got It About Right

This woman is CLEARLY as into this as he is. Notice how she keeps drawing him to her, putting her arms around him and practically burying his face in her cleavage? I'd say that's a mutual grope, some serious sexual flirting. In fact, it's pretty clear these had sex at least once some time before this interview. Their easiness with each other's bodies is a dead give-away. As for booze, apparently some men (and of course women) here at Salon have no clue now literally intoxicating it is to be in the arms of a beautiful, affectionate woman who enjoys your attentions. If it could be bottled and sold legally, it would put every distiller and drug dealer in the world out of business within a month.

So What?

What is the big deal? The man is obviously drunk and, based on what he said about her breasts and from the way it looks, there was more than a casual interview that happened between them in the past. She does not seem to be too "put out" by his attentions either. Furthermore, wasn't he dating/engaged to Jennifer Lopez at the time? Oh well. It appears that he may have gotten all of that crap out of his system before he got married. So, therefore, I really don't think that seeing this embarrassing video of her husband would have made Jennifer Garner change her mind about marrying him. t was in the past, no big deal.

Oh MY!

So, she normally wears her cleavage on display, but chose, for this session, to wear a sports bra. Perhaps she thought it would get more athletic? I don't know her relationship or lack there of with Mr. Affleck, but this looks more like what my mother would have called "heavy petting", than groping. Maybe it was all for the ratings. Almost everything is.

As for a beautiful woman being into Mr. Affleck, despite the abuse he takes in the media, he has never seemed to be at a loss for them. Maybe it's his sexy Boston accent! And Jennifer Garner, boys, only seems like the innocent girl next door. She's a Hollywood babe, through and through, so don't you worry about her. Someday she may even make a decent movie.

p.s. someone please tell Mr. Damon to stop callling me and telling me to vote for his old buddies, at least until he moves back into the district!
