Ben Affleck Unwittingly Paparazzi’d By Spy Pen

Ben Affleck was nice enough to give a stranger his autograph in some random store, unaware that he was being secretly filmed with a spy pen. Worse still, Affleck complimented the pen! I mean, I don’t endorse celebrity stalking in any way, but this seems especially cheap.

  • It's twue! It's twue!

    @SaraRueful: I love him too, his George Reeves in Hollywoodland was ADORABLE.

  • Ms. Audrey Horne

    @lobstr: Yeah, this is going to go over big in the upskirt industry.

  • lobstr

    that's some badass quality for a little shit pen.. and a great ad for it :[]

  • apocalypse-nowish

    @SaraRueful: I've loved the guy for about ten years now. Love him to little bits and pieces. And am totally saddened when people rag on him. Because he really is just awesome.

  • kdollarsign

    what a nice young man.

  • croush1211

    Wow, my ears are bleeding, that was a horrible series of noises.

    @SaraRueful: I think we were just supposed to hate him when he was with JLo, because that was the most obnoxious coupling in history!! I think we can like him again now. I particularly still enjoy his turn in Dazed and Confused... wait I like EVERYBODY'S turn in Dazed and Confused!!!

    Sleazy, yes. But it doesn't come close to some halibut from the Nat'l Enquirer essentially kidnapping Brooke Shields' mother from a nursing home.

    Maybe he knew it was a spy pen, That's why he complimented it.
    We thought he was the prankee, And he became the pranker.

    That actually sounds like the tagline for an Affleck film, Sadly.

    That's odd. The other day I was complimenting a daisy in someone's lapel and it squirted me with water.

  • momof3wildkids

    @SaraRueful: Why are we supposed to hate him? I find him an adorable little puffball.

    I almost feel bad for him. That is kind of a skeevy thing to do to someone.

    Me too Richard! That's why I stopped sending in tips to gawkerstalker.

    (And, where can I get one of these pens?)

  • DahlELama

    @SaraRueful: I'm with you. I like him, and I like him with Jennifer Garner, and I even like them as parents. I guess I'm just an old softie.

    I know we're supposed to hate him, but I just can't. He's smarter than people give him credit for and he appears to be appreciative of and kind to fans (or spies). So many diva/assholes are running around Hollywood, it now seems like something special when a "star" is nice.

    Actually it was the best publicity he's received in a while. I smell set up.

    @Spirit Fingers: For commenting on the state of the news? Seems unfair somehow.

  • Spirit Fingers

    @seyswho: People have been flayed alive for less.

  • SultanaEleusis

    And now he's being used to sell spy pens! I predict he'll be on these people like Woody Allen was on Dov Charney--all to benefit some worthy charity.

    Extraordinarily slow news day, huh?

  • Lewis

    Better than being Paparazzi'd by Sean Penn. Hiyo!

  • SlutaciousHo

    @SaraRueful: I...seventh that? I've always liked Ben, and even more so, find his friendship with Matt to seem like one of the most genuine in Hollywood. Too adorable.

  • ayaka

    @SaraRueful: I'm so with you on that.

  • JudyPaceFace

    He can talk politics without sounding obnoxious. That puts him head and shoulders above the rest.

    @momof3wildkids: In...
    One word: Bennifer.
    Two Words: Red Sox.
    Three Words: 'Payback', 'Gigli', 'Armageddon'.

    /but you're right...he's a nice-seeming gentleman.
