He already did his magic on Captain Kirk, and now Chris Pine has his eye on Tom Clancy's hero, Jack Ryan for a new reboot of the series.

Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck have played the parts before in four different movies over the years.

What do you think the worst movie of the 2000s has been so far? Gigli? Battlefield Earth? Glitter

We can't disagree here.

Ben Affleck has spoken out about his highly publicized relationship with Jennifer Lopez, saying it was bad for his career.

Remember them? The pair began dating in 2002 after co-starring in Gigli (considered one of the worst films ever released), and they became engaged in 2004, later breaking it off before the scheduled wedding. The couple was one of the first to get a "couple name," Bennifer, from blogs.

Sometimes it’s really nice to know that celebrities are just regular people who happened to get really lucky at what they do.

But, at the end of the day, they’re still just like all of us.

Case-in-point, Jennifer Garner.

Yesterday Jennifer was snapped picking up her daughter Violet from pre-school.

To some Jennifer will always be ass-kicking super spy Sydney Bristow, to others, she’s a mom of two with a big ol’ rip in her underwear.

And not just any underwear; those would be granny panties.

Ben Affleck is a granny panty man.

Joaquin Phoenix's post-acting life is just getting weirder and weirder.

Phoenix announced last year that he would be retiring from acting to pursue a career in music. Then he started behaving erratically, causing people to wonder if he had fallen off the wagon.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who welcomed a second daughter on January 6th, have announced they’ve named their new little girl Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.

Seraphina means “fiery one.”

It’s not to be confused with Sarafina, which was a movie starring Whoopi Goldberg.

After years of drug and alcohol abuse, Tara Reid has checked herself into Promises Treatment Center, the celebrity rehab facility in Malibu.

Promises has previously treated such stars as Britney Spears (before she shaved her head), Mel Gibson (after he spewed racial and sexist hatred in a drunken rage), Lindsay Lohan (before she chased her ex-assistant and was arrested for DUI for a third time) and Ben Affleck (the one patient they seem to have had some success with).

Jennifer Garner has been granted a permanent restraining order against her stalker that orders him to stay away from her and her family, their nanny, housekeeper and other staff, for the next three years.

Her stalker, Steven Burky, is still on an involuntary psychiatric hold pending the LAPD’s investigation into Garner’s claims.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
