Ben Affleck: Do You Think I'm Still Sexy?
Today 11:03 AM PST by Marc Malkin

Ben Affleck is feeling old.

At last night's fundraiser for the International Medical Corps work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Children Mending Hearts founder Lysa Heslov gushed about People magazine naming Affleck the Sexiest Man Alive...in 2002.

"That was very nice what you said about me," the 36-year-old father of two said. "But I'm not sure you needed to put the date of the Sexiest Man Alive."

Among those laughing at Affleck's quip was his wife, Jennifer Garner. Garner didn't spend much time at the event, but when she was there, the two were lovey-dovey, holding hands and hugging

However, it was a bit puzzling as to why Garner didn't do more to help promote her hubby's big cause. She skipped the red carpet altogether and kept to one table inside. When she left, she kept her head down and was trailed by at least one big burly bodyguard.

Less press-shy was Anderson Cooper. When Affleck presented an award to Cooper for his work bringing attention to war-ravaged regions of Africa, the CNN newsman couldn't help but gush over the actor. No, not about his Sexiest Man title...

"He's become an important advocate in informing Americans about the situation in Congo," Cooper said of the actor-director to applause, adding, "He deserves a lot of credit for that."

I was, of course, Twittering from the benefit, which took place at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. Read on for the play-by-play:

Sorry about all the Ben Affleck and IMC articles, one after another, four in total (so far...). But they all make a reference to Anderson Cooper, and each one says something different about him other than the fact that he was awarded the IMC trophy. The articles are informative and humorous, I hope you Enjoy! them. Besides, Who can get tired of looking at Ben Affleck's sexy eyes, mouth, hair, sideburns, smile, cleft... other?
