Ben Affleck was honored with the filmmaker of the year award at the Directors Spotlight for UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television's annual film festival on Thursday night.

"Omg! Insider" was on the red carpet at the event and got the chance to chat with the Oscar-winning director about his upcoming Father's Day plans. He revealed to us that he would be celebrating it ― gasp! — alone!

Uh, oh — say it ain't so! Fortunately, it's not what you might think. "My kids are great around Father's Day," Ben said. "They, uh, you know, they made some presents for me. We had early Father's Day, because the kids went to be with their mom in Cleveland where she's making a movie with Kevin Costner called 'Draft Day.' It's a little early plug for the movie. Summer 2014. Go see it." Well … at least he was able to celebrate early!

While the actor-director looked handsome at the event, one part of his outfit that we couldn't help but notice was missing was his kids' good luck ink we got used to seeing during awards season. He told us, "Clean hands tonight; I don't think there are any other nominees." Awww! While he might not need the good luck at this event, we do love seeing how much his family supports him!

Jennifer Lopez in Tom Ford at 4th Annual amfAR Inspirational Gala (Getty Images)

Jennifer Lopez attended the amfAR Inspiration Gala Thursday night in New York City, stealing the spotlight in a gorgeous, figure-hugging metallic blue dress.

The 43-year-old, who had her hair styled in a sleek ponytail, accented the gown with a black clutch and mesh open-toe heels, looking every bit the superstar. Even though the singer was pretty covered up, the nude lining peeking out from underneath her ensemble still reminded that she'll always be "Jenny From the Block."

The event was one that the superstar was definitely looking forward to — so much so that she even tweeted about it earlier in the day.
"Change can happen when we come together," she wrote. "Looking forward to tonight’s #amfARInspiration NY Gala to benefit #HIV#AIDS research!!!”

Clearly, she had a lot to be excited about. Not only was her red carpet outfit amazing, but she was also an honoree at the event. The brunette bombshell shared her gratitude for the special recognition on Instagram later on in the night, writing, “What a beautiful evening at #amfARInspiration! So humbled to be honored by these agents of change. When we come together, there's no stopping our fight against #AIDS. Thank you @OfficialALT @amfar.”

Check out this vid to see who Jennifer’s date for the night was (hint: it wasn’t her boyfriend Casper Smart), and be sure to tune in to “omg! Insider” on television tonight to catch our TV Dads special featuring "Growing Pains" star Alan Thicke.

It may seem hard to believe, but Sandra Bullock is closing in on 50!

The brunette beauty was snapped leaving Nobu restaurant in London on Wednesday in a little black dress and fierce red pumps. Though we've become used to seeing the Oscar-winning actress out and about in casual clothes, strolling along with her 2-year-old son Louis, it seems that she's decided to swap her mommy duties for a night on the town.

This dressed-up look is one that we haven't seen her wear in quite a while. And, yes, she does look beautiful in anything she wears, but in her figure-hugging LBD, she's proving that age is just a number!

Her revived look shows that this beauty has definitely still got it. Not to mention that this sexy change comes at the perfect time. Not only is she "heating" up her new look, but she's also heating up the big screen. She's starring with Melissa McCarthy in the upcoming comedy "The Heat," which hits theaters on June 28.

Check out this vid to see the actress's smoking-hot dress!

Seems like Cameron Diaz isn't the only Cameron Diaz on set anymore!

The blond beauty was spotted on the set of her new flick "The Other Woman" Wednesday in the Hamptons, palling around with her stand-in, a fellow bombshell who looked just like the Hollywood A-lister (note: a "stand-in" is an actor who doesn't appear on camera, as opposed to a "body double, who does appear on camera). The actress and her counterpart both showed off their oh-so-long legs in super short shots and huge smiles, really proving that these two are one in the same.

The 40-year-old "Bad Teacher" star looked casually cute in a blue-and-white striped sweater while her on-set twinsie sported a cozy gray number, and by the looks of the pics, the duo couldn't get enough of each other! Cameron was also snapped having a blast with co-stars Taylor Kinney and Leslie Mann, and all we can say is that it definitely looks like one fun movie set!

In the flick, directed by Nick Cassavetes, Diaz plays a woman who finds out she is "the other woman" in an affair with a married man, and teams up with his wife (Leslie Mann) to get revenge on the cheating husband.

Kris Kardashian is opening up about her new daytime talk show, “Kris,” her life, and her ever growing empire in the June 21 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. The 57-year-old manages the careers of her six children, her chat show debuts July 15, she's currently filming the eighth season of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” and she supervises her and her children's makeup and clothing lines.

So, while it might seem like Kris can do it all and still remain composed, she admitted to the mag that isn’t always the case. “I may put on a brave face from time to time, but inside, sometimes I’m very scared,” she said.

The Momager and her famous family might get a lot of criticism in the media, she thinks that her reality show speaks for itself. “It’s so funny that somebody can criticize a show like ours, and yet we employ hundreds of people. And it’s been such a great learning experience for all of my kids. It’s the best education I could offer them.”

But now, it’s all about Kris on her talk show and she isn’t letting the comments stop her from accomplishing her dream to inspire others,"So many women give up in life when they get a little bit older," she said, adding, "I want to be a positive influence. I want to come from a really good place. Some people are just lost, and maybe I can be an inspiration."

Check out this video to see what else Kris had to say about her new career adventure.

Emma Roberts sure does love dressing up like her famous aunt, actress Julia Roberts. The 22-year-old has managed to build a rather successful acting career for herself, but she doesn’t look like she wants to get out from under her Oscar-winning aunt’s shadow! On Tuesday, the “American Horror Story” actress posted a pic of herself on Instagram donning a white robe with a towel wrapped snuggly around her head. The caption reads, “Having a hard time getting up today.” And while the young starlet looks warm and cozy in the snapshot, it’s hard to miss the striking similarity between her look and that of Julia’s iconic character in the 1990 hit film “Pretty Woman.”

But this isn’t the first time Emma has stressed up like Vivian Ward. Just last year, she channeled her aunt’s character by rocking the same barely-there outfit that her aunt – who, of course, played a prostitute in the film – made famous as she strutted up to Richard Gere in his silver Lotus early in the movie. The costume was complete with black patent leather, over-the-knee boots, a tiny blue-and-white cut-out dress, and a blond bob-cut wig. If we didn’t know any better, we would have thought it was Julia herself!

Check out the vid to see Emma channel her aunt’s iconic role!

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have finally revealed the names of their 10-month-old twins!

The "True Blood" stars have managed to keep the monikers under wraps since the the tots were born in September, but Stephen accidentally let it slip while talking to E! News on the red carpet Tuesday night at the season 6 premiere of their hit HBO show.

When asked about his Father's Day plans, he revealed that they consisted of "hanging with Poppy and Charlie." Oops! But, how cute!

His doting wife then chimed in saying there is something in the works for his first Daddy's Day with their new bundles of joy. "I can't tell you because that would ruin the surprise," she said. "I don't know about [it being a] big surprise, but yes, there are plans".

Little Poppy and Charlie are the couple's first children together; Stephen has a 10-year-old daughter Lilac and 12-year-old son Billy from a previous relationship. Clearly the Hollywood hunk likes to name his girls after flowers.

The Snooks isn't so "snooki-fied" anymore! Nicole Polizzi shared a picture of herself on Instagram on Monday, showing off her classy new look in a white dress (and no, it wasn't a wedding gown!) for her upcoming cover with Annex Magazine, and we must say, it seems like she's taken a turn for the better.

The 25-year-old has ditched the club attire and teased tresses for sassy bangs and a more covered up, long-sleeved gown with an open, sexy back.

The MTV star has definitely done away with the big hair and heavy makeup that we got so used to seeing on "Jersey Shore." Since having her son, Lorenzo, in August, Snooki has been sporting a much more mature style.

As a mini-mogul in the making, the new mommy has many books, products, and endorsement deals, not to mention her reality show, "Snooki and Jwoww," which recently got renewed for a third season.

Check out the vid to see Snooki's classed-up digs, and, be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for our '90s TV dads' special with Ray Romano.
