Grouchy And Grumpy Are Pals

jessica-biel-jennifer-garner-for-marie-claire-valentines-day-promo.jpgThere were so many damn people working on Valentine's Day that the set must have resembled Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, only the dwarfs were celebrities. Do I have to tell you who the evil Queen was? I know I'm pushing this analogy a bit far, but I think you know what I'm getting at. Anyway, two of the dwarfs have bonded. Ah, that's saccharine-sweet! Details from Marie Claire, via Celebitchy

[Biel on their friendship: "You never really bond with all the guys in your cast like they do with each other." Biel is nevertheless excited to tell Garner about her work "shooting N4 machine guns and 9-millimeter Berettas" on the A-Team movie she's making with [Bradley] Cooper, Liam Neeson, and Patrick Wilson.

Garner on "living it up": "I'd like some wine," says Garner. "I never go out much anymore, so I'm going to have a glass of wine. This is living it up to me now." The women each order an appetizer, a main course, and an order of pasta Bolognese to be shared by the three of us.

Biel heard a story about Violet Affleck: "Oh, I heard the sweetest story about Violet the other day," says Biel, mentioning Garner's 4-year-old daughter (older sister of 1-year-old Seraphina). "One of Violet's classmates came up to her and said, 'I heard Jennifer Garner lives in your house.' And Violet said, 'No, she doesn't.' The other kid kept insisting, so Violet came home and asked you, 'Mom, who is Jennifer Garner and why are people saying she lives with us?'" Garner confirms the story, then says: "Wow. That's true. She just knows me as Mom, so I did have to explain to her for the first time about the difference."]

I don't think these ladies are naturally sour. I think both their men (Ben Affleck for Garner and Justin Timberlake for Biel) have seriously bummed them out - which can lead to that "I've just sucked on a lemon" look we normally see from these two. Of course, they are both beautiful so they can deign to be in one another's presence - and it helps that they're both "taken." No competition! They probably bonded over a mutual hatred of the queen bee. Spite is might.
