their kids but i think it's really interesting about this video they're seen laughing together. jen gets in ben's car and they leave the office together. very much in contrast to how tense we've seen them be with each other in recent months. >> a few hours earlier, the pair was spotted leaving a counselling center separately. ben offered a polite warning the a paparazzo. we're told they sat for a two-hour session. >> this counselling visit doesn't necessarily mean that they're getting back together, but perhaps just trying to figure out what's next. they do have three kid and ben and jen have been very public and making sure they're working things out for their family. also, a source told "e.t." that they had been in counselling and working with a mediator on the potential terms of a divorce. >> earlier, jen was also snapped in bel air where she attended a baby shower near the hotel where their former nanny stayed after she was fired amid rumors of an affair with ben. affleck's rep called the claims garbage. >> overall, this seems like a pretty good week for jen.

relationship. my first serious relationship will probably be my husband. >> will ashley and jared find love or break up? there are plenty of tears to go around. >> i hate him. >> and a new arrival brings chaos to paradise. >> this is definitely the first guy that i've met that i can fall in love with. >> "bachelor in paradise" is on a roll. the ratings go up each week to score new highs for the series. nothing has been announced just yet but it sounds like it's a good bet we'll see a season three. coming up, the end of summer's hottest bikini bodies. katy versus taylor. beyonce. who's this sexy couple? then? >> can we write a movie with an african-american cast and be accepted? >> how these two brothers from georgia created a faith-based empire that made them multimillionaires. >> "war room" was almost the number one

the road to hell is paved with good intentions. mr. president, we know you tried to make a good deal with iran. whose leaders stone women, hang homosexuals, sponsor mass terrorism, scream for the destruction of israel and death to america. so, what if you're wrong? and they can't be trusted? senator coons, don't trust iran. vote this down.

>> it's time for you to fight for your marriage. >> a scene from the number two movie in america right now. the faith-based film "war room" second only to "straight outta compton compton" made for $3.5 million but earned more than 11 in its first weekend and it's helping turn two brothers into the unlikeliest movie moguls. i met up with stephen and alex kendrick to talk about how they're beating hollywood odds by keeping the faith. >> we've been praying for two years for this. so we were just on a prayer call in the airport a few minutes ago with our whole thing and we believe with what's happening in "war room" is a huge answer to

prayers. >> so i ask you what your prayer life was like, would you say it was hot or cold? >> i don't know i would say it's hot. >> the movie is about a couple whose relationship is crumbling. they're encouraged to establish a war room to battle their problems through prayer. gave you, i believe, 13% or 18% rating. the critics did not love this movie. but the people did. what do you say to those critics? >> we didn't make this movie for you. so we expect that. we actually laughed at what the critics say. i got to follow my computer where i keep up with the best things. >> what are some of the worst things? >> it's funny, we put a bible verse in the film, they say you're punching us in the face with the bible. we say, okay. >> stephen and alex live in georgia far from hollywood but war room is their fifth film. >> two white guys from south georgia.

can we write a movie with an african-american cast in it and be accepted? this cast was amazing. to see it on the screen, i don't think we could have told it as powerfully another way. >> i would add, we wanted to tell the type of stories that bring faith and hope, inspiration, that draw people to a closer walk with god. if we can do that, that's success. >> of course, i had to ask the brothers the next project. they said several things are in the works. they'll pray on it and decide. up next, mini darth vader needed a life saving surgery. why he's back in the o.r. as his family prays he'll pull through. >> amen. >> good, mom. >> plus, joan rivers a year ago today, she passed away. now we're with the stars she touched. >> she was strong and she spoke her mind. >> she always made me laugh. >> that's straight ahead. closed captioning provided
