Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were a team yesterday morning as they dropped Violet off at school in Santa Monica. Jennifer went out again in the afternoon to pick their oldest daughter up, though instead of Ben, she brought a walking Seraphina along. Violet's school runs have been family outings all week, but Ben and Jennifer recently welcomed someone into their clan that she wasn't too thrilled to host. Jimmy Kimmel's Handsome Men's Club skit included a stint in bed with Jennifer and Ben, and she later joked that it was one of her worst nightmares.

How the hell did I miss this? Reports are now running rampant that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have split, after dating for a very long, pear-assed year. Apparently this gossip has been circulating quietly most of the day, and all sources seem to be using this piece from Extra. Now, Extra is not even close to being a reliable source in the vein of People Magazine or something. But they make an interesting case:

Rumors have been circling for weeks that the “Ghost Whisperer” and her comic BF have called it quits — and “Extra” sources are saying it is true.

A source close to the pair says that Hewitt and Kennedy were supposed to attend an event together last week, but Kennedy arrived solo. He was also not present at Hewitt’s 31st birthday celebration last month. Lisa Stanley broke the news on KEarth 101, and “Extra” confirmed.

The two started dating at the beginning of 2009. No comment from their reps at this time.

Eh. I’ve been wondering this whole time why Jennifer Love Hewitt would stay with a dude who calls her Pear-Ass on a semi-regular basis, but I have no idea if Love was the one to do the dumping. She’s usually the one to get dumped, isn’t she? I mean, that’s her deal, right? She starts dating someone strange, they get engaged after a few dates, they stay engaged forever and then the dude dumps her. That didn’t really happen (allegedly) here, because Jamie seemed to avoid engagement like the plague. Way to break the cycle, Jamie!

UPDATE: Oh, People Magazine is confirming this sh-t! From People: “After a year-long romance, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have broken up, a rep has confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE. No further details were available.” So, no word on who did the dumping, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it in the days to come. My money is on the Pear-Ass being dumped, even though I think Love was really dating down with Jamie. Oh, well. Stay strong, Love! And don’t go back to John Mayer, please, for the love of God.

Jason Lewis smiled for photographers yesterday as he hopped into his car in NYC. He's in the Big Apple to promote Charisma bed linens, which he wholeheartedly endorsed by revealing that he sleeps between them naked. Mental image aside, seeing hot Jason has us looking forward to Sex and the City 2's upcoming release. Jason told us a year ago that he'd be back in the sequel, and we caught a glimpse of him on set in October. His character has competition for Samantha's heart in this movie from Max Ryan, who's OK after a recent motorcycle accident. It'll be fun to see Jason back with the ladies, but we'll see if he ends up with Samantha. So tell us - do you have high hopes for Jason in SATC2?

Here is Amanda Seyfried’s spread in April’s Esquire Magazine - she’s one of their “Women We Love”. As for me, I don’t love Amanda. I don’t hate her either. I go back and forth between thinking she’s a cutie with a long career ahead of her, or she’s just a pretty moron who won’t be getting parts very much longer. I really don’t know. In LaineyGossip’s Oscar wrap-up, they mentioned that Amanda was kind a big fail at red carpet interviews. Apparently, when Ryan Seacrest asked why she was leaving Big Love, she told him “I wasn’t working as much as I wanted to, so…” So? You’re a working actress on an acclaimed show! Produced by Tom Hanks! You think she could manage to not sound so snotty?

I hate to say it, but Amanda didn’t come across very well in the short Esquire interview either. Of course, the dude writing about her was about to rub one out (seriously, read the whole piece), so maybe Amanda was creeped out:

Amanda on her diet: “”I’m on a raw-food diet,” she declares, raising her brows to make her eyes even bigger. “It’s intense. And sort of awful. Yesterday for lunch? Spinach. Just spinach. Spinach and some seeds.”

On getting her Australian shepherd puppy: “It’s so predictable. I just left him and I already want to run back and see him. Most of the time I just want to go home and throw the dog a stick. Can anything be more obvious than throwing a stick? I need to be needed. I understand that the need is never with the dog.”

On what kind of girl she is: “I would always tell somebody if they had sh-t on their face. Especially if it’s really feces. Well, I’m a BFF. I play a BFF. It’s what I do. I have an actual necklace from Jennifer’s Body that says BFF. That’s my role right there.”

On moving from Los Angeles to New York: “I sacrificed six years in L. A. I did my job out here. I made the contacts and did the work I had to do. But I came here at eighteen. I’m out of here at twenty-four, and I feel lucky it wasn’t longer.”

On photography: “I learned a long time ago that photographs are not theater. This is not acting. It’s pretending. I pretend I’m looking at a man who is looking right at me, a man who sees me as exceptionally clever and adventurous.”

[From Esquire]

Once again, could she try not to sound so snotty? “I sacrificed six years in L. A…” Really? Being a working actress in a sea of thousands of girls who would kill to have a fraction of your workload is a “sacrifice”?

The girl’s got a terrific figure though. I’ll give her that.
