  • An article in the latest Premiere magazine featured some quotes and photos from the Independent Spirit Awards…Here’s the stuff we thought you’d want to see:

Kev Hits The ISAs!

Under the category “What’s the biggest risk you’ve ever taken?”

Ben Affleck: “Kissing a man in Kevin Smith’s movie [Chasing Amy].

Under the category “What did you do with your first big Hollywood paycheck?”

Ben Affleck: “I was sleeping on a couch at the time, so I bought a bed and a matress-and a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Jason Lee: “Probably gave it all to the IRS. I didn’t realize they take that much.

Joey Lauren Adams: “I had just moved into a place and had no furniture, so I furnished my apartment. When you’re broke for so long and you get money, it’s hard to spend it. You get that, like, sick feeling in your stomach. I’m still like that.

Under the category “Whose career would you revive if you were casting an indie movie?”

JLA: “Probably Andy Griffith’s. I love him. I’ve seen every episode of The Andy Griffith Show.

Affleck’s Affections…

Mr. Affleck

The Object of Our Affleck-tion

Ben Affleck has a foolproof way to meet women: Win an Academy Award. The Armageddon star, who shared the Best Original Screenplay prize for Good Will Hunting with his pal Matt Damon, tells the July issue of Details that nothing attracts girls like gold.

“On the night of the awards, I just carried the Oscar around waist-high,” he says. “I never had so many women ask me, ‘Can I touch it?’ in my life. Sadly, they were talking about the statuette.”

Affleck, who’s currently dating fellow hot young thing Gwyneth Paltrow, also reveals who he’d go after if his sexual orientation were different. “The first guy I would sleep with is Kevin Smith [his director in Chasing Amy]. The second one would be Leo DiCaprio – but only for the long hair he had in The Man in the Iron Mask.”

Although Affleck sometimes gets flustered by the attention, he’s not one to complain about the trappings of fame. “It may be difficult to go down to the porno theater without somebody going, ‘Hey, isn’t that the guy from….’ But when you’ve got a chaffeur and a huge house with a gate and security – that’s not my idea of difficult.” – SCB

How can we comment on that? Let’s move on.
