Remember when Zayn Malik quit One Direction ? And claimed it was because he wanted to live a normal life for awhile? Yeah. That was pretty much a lie. The artist signed a contract with RCA Records on Thursday, posting a picture of himself doing so on Twitter and writing as a caption: “I guess I never explained why I left , it was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who i really am! #realmusic #RCA !” Yes. Real music . We wonder how One Direction fans will feel about this hastag. Malik, of course, did supposedly reveal his reasons for leaving One Direction back in March, explaining at the time: “I’d like to apologize to the fans if I’ve let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. “I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.” He has had some time, we suppose, but there’s been talk of a Malik solo career since the moment he left Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and company. Prior to Zayn’s departure, the singer had taken a hiatus from the band’s tour, citing stress likely related to chatter he had stepped out on fiancee Perrie Edwards. “I’m 22 years old,” he Tweeted in response. “I love a girl named Perrie Edwards…And there’s a lot of jealous f–ks in this world I’m sorry for what it looks like.” With how One Direction supporters are likely to respond to the next phase of his professional life, Zayn may soon be issuing another apology.
Alleged Ben Affleck girlfriend Christine Ouzounian worked as the star’s nanny for just a few months, but long enough to ignite a tabloid firestorm. Her relationship with Affleck quickly became much more intimate, according to sources quoted by People; Affleck denies dating the nanny . According to the magazine, though, Ouzounian told friends she was having an affair with the actor, who recently split with Jennifer Garner. “Christine is in love with him,” says one friend of Ouzounian’s. According to the friend, Affleck and Ouzounian began the affair last spring, not long after she was hired, and would meet at the Hotel Bel Air. “It’s been going on for a long time,” adds the friend, who says Ouzounian showed her pictures of her sitting on Ben’s lap and the two kissing. A second source allegedly from Ouzounian’s inner circle says that the two were intimate, at least according to the 28-year-old caregiver. “For Christine, it was a relationship ,” says the source, and one destined for disaster. “A friend warned her she was going to end up heartbroken.” Ouzounian’s friend says that the nanny joined Ben and his three kids in the Bahamas in June before Garner flew down separately to join them. While in the Bahamas, the duo announced their divorce June 30 … and Ouzounian left with Affleck to attend a charity poker event in Las Vegas. Garner was “livid,” when she found out, says a close friend. “And I don’t blame her because if my children bonded with you and you did this?” “It’s just the biggest betrayal.” Us Weekly, which first reported the duo’s relationship, notably does not accuse Affleck of cheating on his wife even as it exposes this romance. And again, the actor’s rep has already denounced this as “complete garbage and full of lies,” and not even some anonymous insiders agree. A source close to Affleck says he and Christine had “a work relationship and a friendship. There has never been a romantic or sexual relationship.” “This was not [the reason] for the breakup. There was no affair during or after [their marriage]. Ben and Jen have been separated for months.” View Slideshow: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Photos: A Romantic Rewind
Miley Cyrus’ makeout session with Victoria’s Secret model Stella Maxwell got a lot of attention earlier this week … which was clearly what they wanted. They obviously strive to be seen and talked about, but was this just for the sake of flaunting their hot romance, or viral marketing for their new video?! Sexy pics of Miley Cyrus and Stella Maxwell making out were snapped on a break from the set of a music video for Mike Will’s song, “Drinks On Us.” Miley fans remember her dating Mike Will – also known as Mike Will Made It – in 2013 and 2014 … or at least hanging out with him here and there. In any case, Miley, Stella, Mike Will, Future, French Montana and Rae Sremmurd are all in the video, so seeing the girls making out on and off set? We’re not saying it’s staged to hype up the video, but we can’t say it isn’t. Of course, Miley reportedly started dating Stella weeks prior to this. Ever since she and Patrick Schwarzenegger broke it off, they’ve been seen together quite often, and undoubtedly looking like a couple at times. Stella recently attended a Miley concert and posted a video of herself singing along to Miley’s NSFW song lyrics, so these two are into each other. The only question is whether it’s platonic or more than that, and given that Maxwell has a history with male celebs AND a Victoria’s Secret model? We have absolutely no idea. Our guess is there’s a gray area and some very blurred lines involved here when it comes to the friend zone and what’s real, vs. what’s for show. Either way … HOT!!!!

By now you’ve probably heard more than a few wacky rumors regarding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s divorce . There’s been the run-of-the-mill Ben drinks and gambles too much stuff, but there are also some more out-there theories for the tin foil hat crowd. For example, have you heard the one about how Matt Damon drove Jen and Ben apart ? Yup, that’s something people are actually saying. There’s been so much absurd chatter surrounding the end of this marriage that we can’t even pass it all along. (Trust us, most of it isn’t worth your time.) But every once in a while, a gem comes along that’s simply too good to ignore, such as the ridiculous claim made today by the (n)ever-reliable UK tabloid the Sun. Apparently, an insider tells the Sun that Ben has remained friends with Jennifer Lopez in the years since they dated, and Jen 2 (Garner) was initially cool with it. But after Affleck was spotted getting flirty with Lopez at the Oscars , Garner did some digging and discovered that the exes had been spending more time together than she realized. Needless to say, Garner was pissed, and the ensuing argument led to the silent treatment, which was followed by divorce. The Sun even goes so far as to claim that the Bennifer 2.0 breakup is just the first step in Affleck and Lopez getting back together. “Everyone is talking about J-Lo and Ben and saying it’s inevitable they will get together again at some point,” says the insider. “We call them the Richard Burton and Liz Taylor of Hollywood.” Wouldn’t Richard Burton and Liz Taylor be the Richard Burton and Liz Taylor of Hollywood? Anyway, we highly doubt a Lopez-Affleck reunion is in the cards (if for not other reason than J-Lo is already in a serious relationship). So we guess you’ll just have to get your early-2000s nostalgia fix somewhere else. Maybe Hot Topic is having a sale on trucker hats or something.

At best, Sherri Shepherd’s child custody and support case has been complicated. Sherri and her ex-husband, Lamar Sally, have been battling over custody and financial responsibility for their baby born via surrogate last year. What makes this case unique though is that once Lamar and Sherri split, Sherri went back-and-forth over whether or not she wanted anything to do with their surrogate baby. Eventually, she decided she did not want any responsibility for the child. But, in April, a judge declared Sherri Shepherd the legal mother of the baby. Now, the former View co-host has to live up to that obligation by paying $4,100 per month in child support. The baby is currently 10 months-old. Sherri will have to pay $4,1000 a month until Lamar Jr. is 13-years-old. When the child turns 13, the payment will increase to $4,6000 a month. The case definitely didn’t pan out the way Shepherd had wished. But she is still able to move forward with a fraud claim against her estranged husband. She claims the request for child support is fraudulent. If the courts agree, she will no longer be required to pay support. Shepherd is also asking that the remaining embryos she shared with Lamar be destroyed. Lamar is “undecided” about whether or not to keep the embryos. However, the agreement stands that if any of the remaining embryos are brought to term, Shepherd has no financial responsibility.
As you probably know, in the 24 hours since the world learned that Ben Affleck and Jennifer garner are getting divorced , there’s been no shortage of rumors regarding what exactly tore the couple apart. We’ll probably never know exactly why Ben and Jen split , but all fingers seem to be pointing to Ben as the party responsible. One source claims Ben neglected Jen to focus on his career , but all other insiders who have spoken out say that the problem was basically that Ben was a 42-year-old frat boy. He was a married father of three, yet by all accounts he lived his life like a really depressing episode of Entourage. We don’t know for sure if Ben cheated with Emily Ratajkowski or if his drinking and gambling were as out of hand as several sources have claimed, but apparently whatever bad behavior he was engaging became too much of a strain for Jen to bear. “Ben was essentially her fourth child, and she resented it,” an anonymous source claims. “There was constant pressure on Jen, that she admittedly put on herself, to make sure Ben was on track, not partying or drinking too much. “There were always constant reminders Jen had to give Ben about their kids’ school activities, sports, and their social obligations. “Jen was always taking care of Ben’s needs, and she was the strong one in the relationship. Along the way, Jen realized this, and her needs weren’t being met…Jen is looking forward to the future, and having some much-needed time to herself without worrying about Ben.” Hopefully, for the sake of the celebrity gossip world, this means that Ben being unleashed will result in a binge of boozing, black jacking, and banging the entire cast of the “Blurred Lines” video. Run along now, Ben. The grownups are counting on you.

After months of rumors and speculation it, looks like it’s officially over between Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. Radar Online is reporting that Garner has moved to Montreal , leaving Affleck at home with the couple’s three kids. She’s currently shooting the movie Nine Lives, but insiders say Garner plans to have the children join in her Canada in time to start school there in September. Bizarrely, Affleck also fled to Canada when the couple was having relationship troubles earlier this month. He was spotted without his wedding ring in Nova Scotia and reportedly sought solace at a Buddhist monastery in Ontario. So we think it’s safe to say these two are engaging in some Canuck-ish uncoupling. The signs have been everywhere for quite some time, and just earlier today we learned that insiders expect Affleck and Garner to announce their separation within the next month. Prior to that news, several tabloids reported that Jen and Ben haven’t been seen together in several weeks. No one knows the exact cause of the split, but whether it’s his boozing, gambling or bad habit banging Emily Ratajkowski on the Gone Girl set, everyone seems to agree that the blame falls on Ben. Hey, if you gotta screw up, at least do it in style. View Slideshow: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Photos: Through the Years
For the last couple weeks, Justin Bieber has been stalking Seth Rogen on social media, but as far as we can tell, it’s been strictly platonic. The Biebs really, really wants Rogen to participate in his Comedy Central Roast set to air later this month, but when it comes to swimming in the dude pond, Justin prefers his man-partners a bit more chiseled. Bieber covers the latest issue of Men’s Health, and inside the mag, he opens up about which male celeb he would crush on…if, ya know, Justin ever crushed on a dude, which he totally wouldn’t, bro! “Ben Affleck,” in keeping with the honest, self-deprecating persona he’s been trying our recently. “I think his vibe is cool.” Justin elaborated in a way that made us realize he’s basically 12 and might break down crying at his roast: “I wish I had the Batman thing where people didn’t know I was Bruce Wayne,” said Bieber. “Like I had a costume or something.” Justin, a word of advice: Between now and when this Comedy Central thing films, you’re gonna wanna be very, very careful about what you say in public. A bunch of people who mock for a living are taking notes on your every word. Also, you’re 21, now. We suggest you get good and loaded before it all goes down.
