"I ve never been very judicious about my own behavior or choices until they had an impact on people other than me," Affleck told USA Today.
"But for my child, she didn t make the bargain I did. She didn t make that choice.

And I don t want her to have to pay for the parents sins. I try to protect her privacy. I ll end up in the magazines, and that s my life, and I can live with it, but I try to shield my daughter.

Along with the paparazzi s obsessive desire to snap shots of Princess Diana on that tragic night, chasing her car all around town until in crashed, a new British report claims that the driver of the princess car was drunk -- and the U.S. was bugging her phone, the BBC reports.

Tests confirm that the driver, Henri Paul, had a blood alcohol level of three times the French legal limit on August 31, 1997.
Also buzzing overseas is the death of actor Matt Blanco (30), who was found injured outside an east London apartment building where he attended a party on Dec 3. and passed away later in the hospital.

Musician Pete Doherty was also a guest at the event and he along with his peers are currently being questioned by police.
"We re finding it very difficult to do any grieving as we re so busy trying to find out the truth," said Blanco s sister, Emma. "We want to know what happened that night.

This is not about us assigning blame on a pseudo-celebrity. We just want the truth."

However, despite the surreal touches, Ellis said he doesn t want the series to venture into David Lynch territory.
"There are no midgets walking backwards," explained Ellis.

"We want something much more naturalistic -- a very realistic soap."
Having developed this idea during one of his "dark periods" living in a Los Angeles hotel while looking for a home, Ellis stated, "I had a feeling that the world was coming to an end, which I still think it is, and was making fear-based decisions, which were getting me into worse situations. I wanted to write a soap based on fear and anxiety in L.

A."
Sounds like something that will be right up my alley! I love stories that explore the inner workings of the mind.
