NBC has announced a few huge names that will grace the Saturday Night Live stage next month.

On May 11, Kristen Wiig - who left the show in 2012 - will take over hosting duties, with Vampire Weekend serving as musical guest.

Then, on the May 18 season finale, Ben Affleck will take the hosting reins and rapper/Kim Kardashian Baby Daddy Kanye West will provide the tunes.

Might a certain large-breasted reality star stop by for a cameo?!?

We can only hope.

He may be a multi-millionaire, but Ben Affleck will make like someone in poverty next week in order to bring attention to a cause close to his heart.

The actor has vowed to keep his food and drink costs below $1.50 for one day as a fundraising campaign for The Global Poverty Project.

The organization's website says the purpose of the project is "to give a glimpse into the lives of 1.4 billion people who have no choice but to live below the line every day - and who have to make $1.50 cover a lot more than food."

Affleck will specifically be supporting the Eastern Congo Initiative.

Jennifer Garner is speaking out about the Ben Affleck Oscar speech that had everyone talking and may have gotten more headlines than the Oscar itself.

If you don't recall, while thanking his wife, the Argo director referred to their marriage as "work" and began rambling about their (rumored) marital problems.

"I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases," he says. "It’s good. It is work but the best kind of work and there’s no one I’d rather work with."

Days later, tabloids had a field day reporting that Garner and Affleck were on the verge of divorcing, but Jen says nothing could be further from the truth.

If you know Ben, she says, that was him praising her.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's marriage is in trouble, according to a tabloid report - but is there an iota of truth to what celebrity gossip mag OK! claims?

A so-called “insider” says that the “stress of awards season” and Ben Affleck’s time away from home “has the exhausted couple headed for trouble.”

After Ben Affleck's Oscars speech, it's not surprising that this kind of speculation would arise. Whether it's indicative of real "trouble" is another story.

Ben Affleck's acceptance speech after winning Best Picture for Argo at the 2013 Academy Awards Sunday night was an awesomely emotional mess.

The actor, whose movie won top honors despite his personal snub in the Best Director category, was clearly choked up and caught up in the moment.

Affleck, 40, recalled how he was "just a kid" when he last triumphed for Good Will Hunting, and how he'd been "knocked down" so many times since.

The only important thing, he said through tears, is that "you gotta get up."

Then it got slightly awkward with his nod to spouse Jennifer Garner.

Despite a unique set of circumstances that made the idea feasible and rumors of his political ambitions, Ben Affleck will not be running for U.S. Senate.

"I love Massachusetts and our political process, but I am not running for office," the Argo director wrote on his Facebook page Monday, December 24.

"We are about to get a great U.S. Secretary of State and there are some phenomenal candidates in Massachusetts for his Senate seat," he added.

"I look forward to an amazing campaign."

Actor Ben Affleck is refusing comment on a slew of recent reports that he's a candidate for Massachusetts' soon-to-be vacant U.S. Senate seat.

In Washington to raise awareness about the violence plaguing Congo, Affleck was also scheduled to meet Wednesday with other D.C. lawmakers.

Among them? Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), a fellow Boston native, who is widely believed to be replacing Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State in 2013.

Clinton will step down once her replacement is named by President Barack Obama. Kerry's appointment would open up a special election for his U.S. Senate seat.
