Megan Fox has been told to grow up by her "Transformers" director Michael Bay after she slammed him for focusing more on special effects than acting.

Megan Fox needs to grow up, says her "Transformers" director. The 23-year-old actress recently slammed Michael Bay for focusing more on special effects than acting in the 2007 blockbuster but Michael says her comments are "ridiculous" and should be ignored.

Jennifer Garner will "kick the a*s" of anyone who makes fun of her husband Ben Affleck. The actress clashed with her "Catch and Release" director Kevin Smith - an old friend of the "Pearl Harbor" star - because she didn't understand he wasn't making serious attacks on the actor.

Smith explained: "Jennifer does not share the same sense of humor as me - she did not like my jokes."

Jennifer Garner refused to film scenes in front of Ricky Gervais for their new movie. The 37-year-old actress found working with the British comic star, who wrote, directed and starred in "The Invention of Lying," impossible because he kept bursting into laughter and ruining their scenes.

She explained: "Ricky is very specific about things, although the worst thing about him as a director is that if something is funny at all - and it was very improvisational - he breaks and laughs and ruins your take."

Jennifer Garner's three-year-old daughter thinks she's a mermaid. The "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" star says Violet - her child with husband Ben Affleck - is confused as to whether she is a person or the mythical half-woman, half-fish creature.

The 37-year-old actress said: "She asked, 'Am I a baby? Am I grown up? Am I a mermaid? Am I a human being? I don't know who or what I am!'"

Jennifer Garner asks Reese Witherspoon for parenting tips. The "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" actress - who has daughters Violet, three, and three-month-old Seraphina with husband Ben Affleck - confessed she is in awe of Reese's mothering skills.

Jennifer said: "I always quiz Reese about how she does it. I feel like she does a really good job."

Ben Affleck is dreading the day his daughters start dating. The "State of Play" actor tries not to think about three-year-old Violet and three-month-old Seraphina - his daughters with wife Jennifer Garner - bringing home boys, adding he will be very protective of them when they do.

Asked how he will feel when his children begin attracting suitors, Ben replied: "I'm already planning on it - practicing the rocking-chair-and-rifle routine."
