The creepy paparazzi caught Jennifer Garner over the weekend either looking really pregnant or suffering from the largest food baby ever. Seriously, what is it with all of these celebrities getting pregnant at the same time? Call us heartless, but we’re getting tired of babies.

ALL BABIES ALL THE TIME! “Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck are expecting another baby, Garner’s former Alias co-star Victor Garber confirms to Usmagazine.com. ‘Yes, she is,’ Garber, who currently stars on ABC’s Eli Stone, told Us when asked if recent speculation was true that the couple is expecting. (Garber officiated the couple’s 2005 wedding.) A source adds, ‘She is five months pregnant. They are very happy.’”
NEW BENNIFER TO GO WAY OF OLD BENNIFER? “Sources insist … that Jennifer Garner is considering splitting up from her hubby, Ben Affleck. Say it ain’t so, baby-cakes! Nevertheless, waiting on comment now from both parties. Could this be the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately, rarely as one happy family unit? Perhaps. And certainly, those who know the former Alias star well insist Ben’s mama has never particularly cared for the gal who broke Michael Vartan’s heart to hook up with Benny-Boy in the first place.”

We love when Scientologists leave the religion and then spill their guts to the media. This time Marc Headley, who used to produce promotional films for Scientology, is confirming one of the rumors surrounding Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: Tom auditioned Katie to be his girlfriend.
Following Tom’s split from Penelope Cruz in 2004, the megastar told his BFF (and head of Scientology) David Miscavige that he was having trouble meeting women. So the church sent out a casting call that said, ‘There’s an upcoming Tom Cruise movie you might get a part in. Come for an audition.’ There were of course restrictions: You had to be single, pretty and in your twenties.
Tom rejected original suggestions Erika Christensen and Sofia Milos (who are Scientologists) in favor of Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba (in that order). Reportedly Jen and Jess didn’t take the bait, but Scarlett came in for an audition. Once she realized she was at the Scientology Center in Hollywood, she got scared and bailed. Smart girl.
But Katie Holmes popped into the Scientologist’s minds because she had previously spoken out about her crush on Tom. ‘They got her to L.A. and introduced her to Tom. The moment he meets her, he’s enthralled with her and he told Miscavige later, ‘I knew immediately she was the one.”‘
You hear that? That’s the sound of Jennifer, Scarlett and Jessica breathing a huge sigh of relief.

We kind of love Gary Busey for providing solid entertainment last night during the Oscars red carpet, but now he’s just outdoing himself.
Gary called into Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this morning to explain the exchange from last night that made Ryan almost pee his pants: CONTINUED »
We hear word that some oddly popular event happened last night in Los Angeles. We’re not really sure what it was all about, but we’ve got pictures of some of the self-congratulatory, insular men and women in attendance after the jump.

Forget the awards ceremony; the best Oscar action happened last night at E!’s coverage of the red carpet. Watch as Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney treat crazy Gary Busey like a deranged homeless man and Ryan Seacrest completely loses it.
Sometimes we feel cruel comparing Britney Spears to her, as it seems like asking Michael Jordan’s 4′11″ brother why he’s not a a basketball legend.
• So, one to 10, ten being huge, how much of an idiot coward is Mitt Romney? [Queerty]
• All this Dancing With the Stars merchandise is really going to sap the class from the thing. [DListed]

• Who can say “gay”? [Queerty]
This woman’s normalcy just augments her peers’ deficiency. By not giving her child Runts for breakfast, she’s ruining the curve. Yikes.
Where’re those speculative tabloids when you really need ‘em? Is this chick “sperminated” or just a pig? We have to know.
After the jump, more from the premier of The Kingdom.

Besides being a gallows for Britney Spears to hang herself – for now, just figuratively – last night’s MTV Video Music Awards also proved to be a boring, insipid and massive forum for rewarding mediocrity. In short, Miss Teen South Carolina was there. Bravo, MTV!
After the jump, many, many more.

Look how bummed Britney is to see that almost everyone is better than her at this “fuckin’ mommy bullshit.”
When you’re a mother and your body literally becomes food, it’s one of the best looks ever because it makes you simultaneously empowered and precious. And sugar and spice is pretty much what being a woman is about, right?
