Smokin' Aces Helps Ben Quit Smokin'

PopSugar — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:28:06 -0800

Smokin' Aces may not be heating things up at the box office, but it has still been a smart move on Ben Affleck's part - it actually helped him quit smoking. That will definitely give him more energy to put into Jen, Violet, and the film he's written and directed, Gone, Baby, Gone. Ben recently stopped for a Q&A about family life, his GG Nom, and the upside of nepotism. Here's highlights:

You may not have won, but congrats on the Golden Globe nomination.
I was very happy. My wife was up early with our child and [woke me up] to tell me I'd been nominated – and to get me to change the baby.
You play a chain-smoking bail bondsman in Smokin' Aces. You're a smoker, right?
The whole week that I shot, I smoked, like, five packs a day. By the time the movie was over, I was so sick of smoking, I just didn't want to do it anymore, and I quit. I have this celluloid record of the last time I smoked.
How was directing your brother Casey, 31, in Gone, Baby, Gone?
A pleasure. It was like directing anybody else, except I could fantasize that if it came down to it I could throttle him.

Fab Flash: Girls Gone Wild Gear

BellaSugar — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 16:55:55 -0800

It has been reported that "Girls Gone Wild" is launching an apparel line with a cheeky tag that reads: "When Clothing Isn't Optional!"

Joe Francis, founder, at the age of 23, of the ten year old business called Girls Gone Wild believes that his new line of apparel will be worth anywhere from $40 - $60 million within the next two years. His empire is currently worth approximately $100 million.

The clothing consists of two sportswear lines called: angel and beach, a swimsuit collection designed by Ashley Paige, and a super sexy intimates collection. The hemlines are short and the bikinis are skimpy - this is a line for a girl who's not shy.

Lindsay Lohan has already been spied wearing GGW Apparel, and Paris Hilton and Kimberly Stewart, will be the line's first celebrity guest designers. To see more images and to read more about what Francis has to say about his new line, read more

"There's a little 'Girls Gone Wild' in every girl. That's what I want to bring out, but without being cheesy. The direction of the line is important to me, it's not what you'd expect. There is a lot that is more subtly branded Girls Gone Wild product. Whether you want a little Girls Gone Wild in the logo on your underwear or a little Girls Gone Wild logo on your sweatpants, you can find that in this line."

Will You Be Tuning In to Watch DJ AM's Gone Too Far Tonight?

Molly — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:00:42 -0700

DJ AM's final project, his documentary series Gone Too Far premieres tonight on MTV. There was some debate over whether MTV should air the show after DJ AM's death over the Summer, but at the blessing of his family the eight part series will go on. Buzz has a heart wrenching preview of what we can expect as we see Adam help young drug addicts, which ultimately in part led him back down a path to his own accidental drug overdose. MTV has always tried to make a name for itself airing edgy and real life shows, but this one seems like it will be particularly difficult to watch considering the grave outcome. So tell us, will you be tuning in to watch DJ AM's Gone to Far tonight?

Brothers Affleck Bring Their Baby To Britain

PopSugarUK — Thu, 29 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Hello boys! Ben and Casey Affleck are over in the UK right now to promote their new collaboration. I really enjoyed Gone Baby Gone when I had the chance to see it a few months ago, and was even more impressed as it's the directorial debut of Ben Affleck! Starring his brother Casey Affleck (who's rather tasty and officially good thanks to that Oscar nomination) and Morgan Freeman among others, it's a mysterious drama and the plot involves a little girl going missing.

It came out in the US last October, but due to sensitivity to the Madeleine McCann news story the release date was pushed back over here. I'd highly recommend you see the movie, Amy Ryan was oscar-nominated for her role in the film and puts in a great performance, and Ben's directing ain't half bad either! For more detail on the plot, check out newlywed Molly's review over on Buzz. It's out here on June 6.

Ben and Casey Keep Gone Baby Going Strong

Molly — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 00:35:45 -0700

After Monday night's cute friend-fest at the Boston premiere of Gone Baby Gone, Ben and Casey sent Matt on his way to Japan and brought their movie to a NYC screening hosted by Details. Another GBG premiere night and another loss for the Red Sox; it's probably best for the boys not to be watching the games if they want to keep those smiles on their faces. The Brothers Affleck were joined on the red carpet by Amy Ryan, who stars in the film, Patricia Heaton and Sheryl Crow. Jen, on the other hand, was back to preview performances of Cyrano de Bergerac. Casey stopped by Letterman last night to talk about both GBG and Jesse James. Though the highlight was really when Casey told that story about his brother making him jump into that treacherous quarry...twice. Love brothers, especially these ones.

Ben & Casey's Gone Baby Goes to LA

Molly — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 00:17:35 -0700

The beautiful Affleck brothers were wifeless but happy for the red carpet premiere of their Gone Baby Gone in LA last night. We know the pressure of this movie has given Ben some some stress, but it looks like he's finally maybe relaxed a little bit. He certainly deserves it, too, the movie is still getting great reviews - yay. Ben and Casey were joined by Neve Campbell and a gorgeously pregnant Garcelle Beauvais. After Jen's whirlwind trip through Europe last week, she and Ben must have done a Violet hand off in NYC while she is back to Broadway rehearsals and he does his west coast promotional stint. Hopefully Ben and Casey will be back to their respective babies soon.

To see a whole lot more from the premiere including Ben, Casey, Neve, Rachael Leigh Cook, Michelle Monaghan, Garcelle Beauvais, Kevin Smith and did I mention the Affleck boys just read more

TV Tonight: DJ AM's Gone Too Far

BuzzSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:30:14 -0700

After the surprising death of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein), no one was sure what would happen to Gone Too Far, his MTV documentary about addiction. Would it be wrong to air it, since it was discovered that he was abusing drugs? Or is it a cautionary tale that could encourage others to seek treatment? Your feelings were mixed, although a small majority of you thought the network should continue on with the program. After receiving the blessing of his family, MTV finally premieres the eight-episode series tonight.

The show follows AM as he stages interventions with friends and relatives of young twenty-somethings using heroin and other drugs. It's a tough topic to cover - especially given the surrounding circumstances - but judging by the trailer, it looks like MTV handles it with the appropriate respect. The footage actually gave me a few goosebumps - it's eerie to see Goldstein helping others overcome the problems that led to his own demise.

Will you watch? It airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT, but until then check out the video for the trailer when you read more.

Little Girl Gone Wild - Hilarious or Horrifying?

TresSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:30:35 -0700

Darla isn't in school yet, but she's already in training for Spring Break. UPDATE: Though the video has been removed, here's the gist: Her mother - who clearly has a sharp, if somewhat twisted, wit - has trained the toddler to lift up her shirt when mom says "Spring Break." I think it's pretty funny, because it seems unlikely that any mother this edgy could actually raise a future Girl Gone Wild. What do you think?

Out and About: Connecticut's Dog Gone Smart Bed

PetSugar — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:30:10 -0800

Take your pooch to Dog Gone Smart for one of their super-fun classes including agility, water sports, new baby training, therapy workshop, and even acting! This Norwalk-based company also offers the old standards like daycare, boarding, and puppy playtime in their rec area chock full of climbing equipment.

Best yet, these are the same people behind Wilton's Dog Gone Smart Bed Co. While it may look like a standard bed, its materials are far from the norm (think nanotechnology!). It's stitched up using powerful performance fabrics like NanoSphere, which is extremely resistant to liquids, dirt, and oils and ActiveSilver, a permanent antimicrobial that kills bacteria and eliminates odors. Even though this bed stays soooo clean, if you do decide to toss it in the wash, the fabric remains 100 percent functional even after 60 washing cycles (and dries six times faster than traditional fabrics). Even though it's called the Dog Gone Smart Bed, it can be doggone smart for cats, too! The beds are offered in five colors, two shapes, and three sizes – pricing starts at $119.
