The Garner-Afflecks Are a No-Frills Family
Jennifer Garner's fresh face and pink lips grace the May cover of InStyle. After taking time off and spending the first part of the year with Seraphina and Violet, Jen's ready to get back on the promotional circuit for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Of course, she couldn't help but gush a little about her family and give us a peek into the Garner-Affleck household. Here are highlights:
- On fashion and makeup: "I never go nuts with my look. It's easy to feel like you've gone into caricature territory when you do. These days I wear less makeup than earlier in my career, but I know a lot more about it now."
- On cooking skills she's learned from her mom: "She taught me to proof my yeast with a little bit of sugar. And she also taught me how to stretch a roasted chicken to make three meals. Though Ben could eat an entire chicken in one sitting."
- On sharing household duties with Ben: "Ben will do the school run. He dresses her and does her hair. It's pretty funny. You can always tell when he has been at it, just two random barrettes hanging in there. It's so sweet."
It's no secret that Jen and Ben are pretty hands-on parents, though maybe Ben can hone his hairstyling skills before taking his turn with Seraphina.

Paris and Doug Say Cheerio to London
Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt were back on the move earlier today as they left their London hotel for Heathrow. After their time together in Amsterdam last week, it looks like the English portion of their Eurotrip has come to a close too. Doug was initiated into Paris's jetsetting lifestyle early on in their relationship, and he seems pretty thrilled to be by her side as they rack up the stamps in their passports.

Reese Looks at Home Behind the Plate
Reese Witherspoon was back on the field for another session with her softball trainer yesterday. She's been hard at work learning the ins-and-outs of the game for a role in an upcoming comedy she'll star in alongside Owen Wilson. That's not the only item on busy Reese's agenda — she'll produce and perhaps star in Nice, a film about a magazine writer who finds it's easier to kill her boyfriends than dump them. It's a new angle for the usually chipper Reese, but it'll be interesting to see how she tackles a dark subject.

David Duchovny Is Back to California Dreaming
David Duchovny slipped back into Hank Moody's shoes and shades to film Californication with Evan Handler in LA yesterday. David endured a lot of drama in his personal life while filming Season 2, so hopefully, things will be a bit quieter this time around. While he and Tea have been spotted together more than a few times in the past months, supposedly a reconciliation isn't set in stone just yet. Either way, we're looking forward to David's on-screen relationship issues on the return of one of our favorite summertime shows.
