Jennifer Garner has been adjusting to life on her own since her 10-year marriage to Ben Affleck ended in 2015.
“Jen is great,” a source close to the actress tells People in the magazine’s new issue. “She is still getting used to being single.”
Garner told reporters this week she hasn’t “been on a date” since separating from Affleck (they filed for divorce this April) and is “not interested in dating.” She added: “I would not have chosen this life for myself or for my kids.”
That doesn’t mean she wants to change it at this point, says the source.

The moms that Jennifer Garner plays onscreen -- in movies like Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Miracles From Heaven -- usually feel cut from the same cloth. They’re doting, loving mothers with a smile on their face and a twinkle in their eye -- the type of mom you imagine Garner is in real life, too. In The Tribes of Palos Verdes, however, she plays Sandy Mason, a mother of two teenagers whose life spirals out of control after her husband leaves her for another woman. And in this poster for the film, debuting on Et, Sandy hovers over her carefree daughter (played by It Follows actress Maika Monroe).

In many ways, The Tribes of Palos Verdes is standard Ya fare: poisonous suburban milieu, troubled family dynamics and a misfit protagonist, intelligent and resilient. Two key elements lift the movie beyond formula, at least for most of its running time: the particulars of the Southern California setting, with its extreme natural beauty and extreme affluence, and the strength that the central character, played with quiet ferocity by Maika Monroe, finds through surfing.

According to Variety, filmmakers Emmett Malloy and Brendan Malloy—a.k.a. the Malloys—are making a documentary about Biggie Smalls. Tentatively titled Notorious B.I.G.: One More Chance, the film is being made in collaboration with Biggie’s estate and his mother, Voletta Wallace, and it will reportedly “feature Biggie’s music and focus on the impact [of] his work around the world.”
The Malloys are primarily music video directors, but they’ve occasionally branched out into music-themed documentaries like A Brokedown Melody, Under Great White Northern Lights, and Big Easy Express. This Biggie Smalls documentary is being produced by Submarine Entertainment, which was also behind Searching For Sugarman and 20 Feet From Stardom.

A music video filmed to support Jonas Brothers' new single called "Paranoid" has made its way out. Directed by Brendan Malloy and Tim Wheeler, it shows Kevin Jonas being confused when walking into a room full of his clones, Joe Jonas freaking out when suddenly appearing in the middle of a wrestle game, and Nick Jonas getting paranoid when he is joined by several girls in the desert.
"Paranoid" is the first single from Jonas Brothers' upcoming fourth studio album "Lines, Vines and Trying Times". The track is mostly performed by Nick, rather than the usual leading singer Joe. Produced by John Fields, it has got radio airplays since May 8 and has been available for digital download starting on May 12.
