Seraphina Affleck: Halloween Morning Walk!

Seraphina Affleck and her big sister Violet Affleck get pushed around in a stroller while out and about with their mom Jennifer Garner on Saturday morning (October 31) in Boston, Mass.

When recently asked if she’s more drawn to do family-friendly projects or going in the opposite direction because of her daughters, Jen told HuffPo, “I don’t really feel like I’m driven away from doing family stuff or towards it. I look at the scripts that come my way. I look at the script that we’re developing in my production company. It’s much more about finding something that I like to do than it is about some overall thing like, ‘I better stay away from family movies’ or ‘I’d really like to do a family movie.’ I mean, if a family movie came along and it was great, then I wouldn’t care if I had no family or a family of ten kids, I’d still want to do it.”

Jude and Sienna are just friends and are seeing each other socially occasionally as they are both on Broadway, performing just one block apart,” his rep told Glamour.

Cyndi Lauper Addresses Hate Crimes Bill

Posted: 29 Oct 2009 08:14 PM PDT

Cyndi Lauper Addresses Hate Crimes Bill

Musician Cyndi Lauper is all smiles after President Barack Obama delivered remarks following the enactment of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday (October 28) in Washington, D.C.

Obama earlier signed the $681 billion U.S. defense budget bill which included a provision that makes it a federal hate crime to assault people based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. Matthew Shepard was tortured and murdered in 1998 in Wyoming. Witnesses say he was targeted for being gay. Also in 1998, three white men in Texas chained James Byrd, a black man, to a pickup truck and dragged him to his death.

In a statement to JustJared.com, Cyndi says, “As a straight ally and as a person with many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender family members, friends and fans, I want to thank the Human Rights Campaign, Judy and Dennis Shepard and Senator Edward Kennedy for their leadership in the 11 year struggle to get the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd, Jr. Hates Crimes Prevention Bill enacted. Finally, with President Obama’s signature, violent hate crimes against the LGBT community will be recognized and prosecuted by the Federal government. This is only the beginning, I believe that the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act, as well as the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, will soon be here. Today, that light at the end of the tunnel for the LGBT civil rights movement is much brighter.”

Cyndi is a longtime LGBT rights champion and is also the creator of the True Colors Tour and True Colors Fund.

Jon Gosselin: I Am Committed to Making Things Right

Jon Gosselin released a statement earlier today to speak out about the allegations that he and Nadya Suleman would be pursuing a reality show together.

“I am troubled to learn that the media has accepted as true the scurrilous rumor that I would appear in a reality television program with Nadya Suleman. This is utterly false. I do however accept that some of my previous actions have in some way lent credence to such outrageous stories,” Jon wrote.

“I am well aware that my behavior over the past few months has not always reflected my personal and religious values. I further accept that I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own moral anchor and be carried away by the challenges of fame. It is for this reason that I have endeavored of late to reconnect with my deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self with regular study sessions and counseling with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, whose morality-centered-and-values-based advice, coupled with his profound commitment to fatherhood and family, I deeply respect.”

“I have always endeavored to be a loving father and a devoted parent who serves as a moral exemplar to his eight children. That's what my father, a children's dentist who always extended himself to his poorest patients, was to me. My father was my inspiration and moral compass. I intend to serve the same role for my own children by taking responsibility for my errors and making right any pain I have caused to those I love.”

“I ask the public to please understand the challenges I face in living under constant public scrutiny, even as I am aware that I have at times courted that scrutiny.”

“I am committed to making things right with Kate and especially my children. I ask you to please give me the opportunity to prove myself.”

Paranormal Activity Covers ‘Entertainment Weekly’

Paranormal Activity stars Micah Sloat and Katie Featherson scream up a storm on the latest November 6th cover of Entertainment Weekly.

The mag explains the movie’s tale of terror: how a tiny $11,000 movie became a big, scary smash.

"It's pretty exciting," says writer-director Oren Peli, who celebrated the triumph with "a plain cheeseburger and a Jack and Coke" on the set of his next film, Area 51, in Utah.

Though neither Micah or Katie has lined up another job, they've both signed with agents. And they seem almost embarrassed by the VIP treatment the industry is starting to give them. "The quality of meetings we're able to get right now is much higher. So are the scripts," says Katie. And Micah has at least one idea for spending his newfound capital. "I would love to have a massive party and meet all the sweaty, geeky, awesome fans who posted on the Internet and believed in the film," he says. "I just want to thank them."
