- Ben Affleck's Drivetime
Ben Affleck is enjoying his new role as travel writer - as
he gets to drive a brand new Ferrari car. Affleck is writing
a Great Drives column for Conde Nast Traveler magazine, and
started his journey this week, from Miami to Washington, D.C.
Reports that Affleck was given the car by Robert Earl, boss
of Planet Hollywood in South Beach, in return for attending
the opening of his restaurant, were laughed off by his spokesman,
David Pollack. Pollack says, "Robert Earl of Planet Hollywood
is a very generous man but not that generous." Pollack
added that Ben got nothing for his appearance, saying "He
was in Miami and Robert Earl is a longtime friend of his."

- Ben Affleck Accused Of Being A Stalker
If you thought that Matthew E. Hooker, the would be presidential
candidate and accused stalker of Nicole Kidman and Claudia
Schiffer, couldn't say anything more ludicrous than he already
has, you thought wrong. E! Online reports that Hooker has
claimed he himself is being stalked... by Ben Affleck. In
a rambling statement on his beautifulbutdangerous.com Web
site, Hooker claims that Affleck has stalked him 5 times,
generally wearing a fake moustache and "dressed like
a Frenchman." The statement details alleged stalking
and conspiracies by various others, such as a guy who beat
him up in high school. He claims these conspirators are intent
on harrassing him, stealing ideas from him and discrediting
him, and that "a group of pot and cocaine users has it
out for me."

- Ben Affleck's Ban On Butt Shots
Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck used a body double for a scene
in Pearl Harbor - because he was too shy to show his bare
bottom on screen. The bashful star refused to strip for the
scene in which nurse Evelyn, played by Kate Beckinsale, has
to give him an injection in his bottom. Rob McCabe, 30, stood
in for Ben and another double, Breezy Dawn, provided the hand
for the jab. But Ben left at least one fan disappointed by
his decision not to bare. Breezy says, "I was looking
forward to getting my hands on Ben but it wasn't to be."

- Ben Affleck's Tough Movie Preparation
Hollywood heart-throb Ben Affleck had a gruelling preparation
schedule for his new movie Pearl Harbor - which consisted
mainly of a painfully-strict diet. The actor was only allowed
to consume a protein shake, six egg whites, a small bowl of
oatmeal and a piece of fruit for breakfast. His lunchtime
allowance consisted of a chicken breast, steamed rice and
vegetables or salad for lunch, while dinner came in the form
of fish with salad and/or vegetables - and no alcohol at all.
The strict diet, along with a stringent exercise regime, was
compiled by his trainer, Jorgen De May in preparation for
the $130 million second world war epic. Affleck's workout
entailed a rigorous training regimen of eight weeks of daily
workouts, including speed-walking on a steep treadmill and
an upper body routine of free weights and machines.

2001 - Ben Affleck Dating Super Hero
Hunky Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck has been secretly dating
Famke Janssen. Former model Famke, who recently played Jean
Grey in the summer hit X-Men (2000), was spotted kissing the

an hour. It was kind of obscene." The source adds that

2001 - Ben Affleck Is Ben Affleck's Ideal Man
Hollywood heart-throb Ben Affleck knows exactly what the definition
of a perfect man is - himself. Ben says any woman should have
a certain set of criteria when selecting a lover. He says,
"He is intellectually curious and a listener, but he
also stands by his opinions. He's strong. He opens doors for
women. He protects a woman but also listens and tries to adjust
his personality and who he is to accommodate that." And
how would Ben describe himself? He says, "I'm intellectually
curious and a listener..."

enjoying nights out there sipping Martinis, but now the place

2000 - Ben Affleck Flattered By Rumors Of Romance With Carrie
Fisher
Ben Affleck (photos) is flattered by gossip which links him
romantically to Star Wars (1977) actress Carrie Fisher (photos)
- and wants to "canoodle" with her. Ben admits he
fell in love with the 44- year-old actress when he saw her
as Princess Leia in the first Star Wars (1977) trilogy, and
he's thrilled with reports of a romance. He says, "They
used this word 'canoodling'. I don't know what it means exactly,
but it's great. Everyone has a Princess Leia thing. I mean
that whole show is slightly perverse. Carrie is very nice
and I'll gladly canoodle with her. But the truth is she was
trying to fix me up with her daughter who's about eight."
Affleck admits he has to laugh at his reported romances -
otherwise he'd be crazy thinking about the press' perception
of him. He adds, "I've been linked with Britney Spears
(photos) and now Carrie - I can't tell if I've got a Lolita
complex or an Oedipus complex."
