Jennifer Garner strikes a pose. Andreas Sjödin/InStyleJennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have one of those relationships that you don't believe can really exist in Hollywood. They're both A-list movie stars, who somehow manage to lead a seemingly normal life with their daughters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, who will turn 3 in January. Plus, they have a third baby on the way! In the January issue of InStyle, on newsstands Friday, the actress reveals the secret to the success of their seven-year relationship.

Since Jennifer Garner is always spotted out with her two adorable daughters, Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 2, I just couldn't resist posting a couple of pics of the girls hanging with their dad, Ben Affleck.

The 39-year-old actor has been busy filming "Argo" -- a movie he not only stars in but is directing -- in McLean, Virginia, which tells the story of a CIA mission that saved six American diplomats during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis by disguising them as members of a Hollywood film crew. (Ah, that explains Ben's groovy, shaggy locks.) Fortunately, he made it back to L.A. just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family. Ben was even snapped picking up Violet from school in Santa Monica, California, on Monday with his youngest daughter Seraphina in tow. Perhaps Jen, who is pregnant with the couple's third child, was prepping for their Thanksgiving dinner?

One would think that Rihanna, who was named this year's "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire magazine, could have just about any man she wants, but on Monday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the music superstar revealed that isn't the case.

Tori really loves Dean. Henry S. Dziekan III/WireImage.comDean McDermott turned 45 on Wednesday, and it certainly was a birthday to remember! It started out with a romantic public declaration of love from his wife Tori Spelling, who posted "A Love Letter to My Soul Mate" on her website:

Dean...

I've known you my whole life. But only in my heart. I would dream of you for so long. So many represented you. My dad. Every Ken doll I ever played with. Every prince in every Disney cartoon. The lead character in every John Hughes film. Not one guy I ever dated. And, then you became a reality. It took me 32 years to find you. But only after I found me could I find you. Because you stood for the other half of me. You allowed me to be me. You've helped me achieve my dreams. I reach further knowing if I fall you'll be there to catch me. You've given me the greatest gift I can ever know. The gift of motherhood.

Jessica Simpson is expecting her first child with fiancé Eric Johnson in the spring, and she's never been happier. "I love the connection that I'm having with my body," she tells omg! "It really is just a miracle. Creating life is just such a powerful thing. I feel like I'm more confident than I've ever been and there's so much that I'm looking forward to. I can't wait to meet my baby."

Interestingly enough, she also can't wait until she can start enjoying pizza again. "I have to say that I don't like the taste of pizza pregnant, which is such a bummer because normally I'd be like, 'Pizza!' But mozzarella cheese to me just tastes sour," she sighs. "I'm craving a lot of fruit, but I think I'm just craving the hydration. I love cantaloupe! I can eat a full cantaloupe a day."

Jennifer Garner may be expecting her third child sometime in January, but she's definitely not using her pregnancy as an excuse to slow down! Over the weekend, the 39-year-old actress not only attended the Motion Picture & Television Fund's "Reel Stories, Real Lives" event, as well as an AFI screening of her new flick "Butter," but she also managed to find time to take her two adorable daughters, Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 2, to ballet class in Santa Monica, California.

The wait is over, "Real Housewives" fans! The Atlanta ladies are returning to the airwaves this Sunday night! Life & Style sat down with the stars of the hit Bravo reality show, and discovered that they're proud of being the most voluptuous "Housewives" cast.

Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric JohnsonAfter weeks of speculation, Jessica Simpson has finally confirmed the news that everyone has been waiting for -- she's pregnant! And since she decided to make her big announcement on Halloween, the 31-year-old singer thought it would be cute to dress up as a mummy (get it?) for the occasion and show off her baby bump in this exclusive photo she shared with omg!

"It's true! I am going to be a mummy!" she exclaimed on her official website Monday afternoon. Both Jessica and her fiancé, former pro football player Eric Johnson, whom she began dating in May 2010, are reportedly thrilled to be expecting their first child.

"I definitely see myself having a family with him, so that's exciting to think about," she told People.com in November after Eric proposed.

But Jess and Eric's baby won't be the first grandchild for Joe and Tina Simpson, who became grandparents in November 2008 when their youngest daughter Ashlee and her ex-husband Pete Wentz gave birth to son Bronx. While Bronx will
