It’s not easy to upgrade from Batman, but Jennifer Garner may have done just that by hooking up with the man once known as McDreamy. Yes, according to OK! magazine, Jennifer and Patrick Dempsey are dating . And, of course, no tabloid drama would be complete without a jealous ex who hopes to “tear them apart.” An insider tells the tabloid that Jen and Patrick hit it off while making the 2010 film Valentine’s Day together. Now that they’re both newly single ( Dempsey separated from wife Jillian Fink in early 2015), Patrick and Jennifer have reportedly been meeting for coffee to discuss the difficulties of a high profile divorce. Sources claim that the actors gradually became more than friends over the past several months. Last we heard, Affleck was dating Sienna Miller , but according to OK! , he’s still less than thrilled by the news that his wife of ten years has moved on with one of Hollywood’s most eligible divorcees. Obviously, Jen and Patrick have yet to confirm that they’re an item, and they’ll be separated for the next several weeks as Dempsey films Bridget Jones’s Baby in London, but insiders say the relationship is moving rather quickly. If the rumor is true, of course, we imagine Ben will kick off 2016 with a desperate campaign to win Jen back. View Slideshow: Celebrity Breakups of 2015: The Year of the Split!
Gay marriage? Health care subsidies? The 2016 Presidential Election? Please. President Barack Obama has a far more important subject to debate: the mere suggestion that one ought to put peas in one’s guacamole. The New York Times published an article on Wednesday, July 1 that dared to make this recommendation, as the venerable newspaper Tweeted along with the photo posted above: Add green peas to your guacamole. Trust us. The accompanying piece argued that including peas with this chip-themed delicacy adds an “intense sweetness and a chunky texture to the dip.” But a certain Commander-in-Chief strongly disagrees. “Respect the nyt, but not buying peas in guac,” Obama tweeted. “Onions, garlic, hot peppers. Classic.” As you might expect, the President’s own list of essentials sparked their own bit of online outrage, but let’s save his guacamole recipe for another time. Now, we simply want to know your take on this escalating situation: peas in guacamole? Yay or nay?!?

It may or may not have been fueled by Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed, but Nina Dobrev’s decision to quit The Vampire Diaries was hers alone. So says the executive producer and showrunner of TVD , Julie Plec, who reveals that she tried to convince Nina to stay on beyond this season. Didn’t happen. View Slideshow: 21 Epic Elena Gilbert GIFs “She was just looking forward to moving on with no hard feelings and no drama,” says Plec of Dobrev leaving The Vampire Diaries this spring. “This is taking the personal out of it completely, from a storytelling point of view it’s a great challenge. As writers we’re finding it very rejuvenating.” “Just on a strictly creative exercise level,” of course. “Nina said earlier this year that she wanted to be done and we spent a little bit of time trying to talk her out of it,” Plec adds, though it was fruitless. “[We’d say,] ‘Oh, look at all these great plans of how you can stay!’ And she finally was like, ‘No, I signed up for six years. I’ve done my six years.” “I’m ready to move on and spread my wings.’” Did Nina quit because of Nikki Reed , the Twilight actress who got engaged, then married to Nina’s former on-and-off screen love, Ian Somerhalder? We may never know. (Read: Probably. There’s no way that personal awkwardness didn’t play some role, maybe even a big role … right?!) As for the fact that we learned of her departure a month in advance, Julie said she and Nina mututally decided to break the news on Instagram . View Slideshow: The Vampire Diaries Cast Before They Were Stars! The creator was inspired by The Good Wife, which killed off Josh Charles’ character Will last spring in a plot twist that NO ONE saw coming. “A lot of people had a hard time with that,” she says. “It was a beautiful shock, but there’s grief attached … and I’m looking at Vampire Diaries , which is now six years deep, and it’s the main character.” “A lot of our audience [are] teenagers and there is a profound attachment to this character and show. I started looking at it from a fan point of view.” “I was like ‘We need to tell them that it’s happening before it happens.’ You can’t just end the season and do what we’re going to do to this character.” “As a fan I would die. I would be devastated.” Julie said that watching fans react to the death of Derek Shephard – with Patrick Dempsey fired from Grey’s Anatomy – has been eye-opening. “It’s really funny because watching this whole Grey’s thing now happen after the fact,” she adds, tellingly. “I’m like, ‘Mmmhmm, okay, interesting.’” That’s one word for it. Regardless of Dobrev’s reasons for departing, we would say Julie and Nina played their cards just right in that sense. View Slideshow: 25 Hottest Nina Dobrev Pics
Former Grey’s Anatomy leading man and newly-single Patrick Dempsey continues to make 2015 a year of dramatic changes in his life. His latest? Putting his unique estate in Malibu up for sale for a whopping $14.5 million. The home boasts three acres of land, three bedrooms, ocean views and a yard composed of a spacious pool, fire pit, climbing wall and a pizza oven. “We were looking for a little land and space, and a house with some architectural significance,” Dempsey shared with Architectural Digest in 2009. He added, “Everywhere you looked there was something visually pleasing. The simplicity appealed to me, and the inside felt expansive and calming.” The home was originally purchased in 2009 for $7 million; Dempsey shared the property with his wife Jillian Fink and the couple’s three children. Fast-forward to today and Patrick and Jillian Dempsey are divorcing and he has left Grey’s Anatomy after 11-plus seasons on the ABC hit drama. There are reports that Patrick was fired by Shonda Rhimes following an earlier suspension stemming from his poor work ethic and attitude. In any case, he’s out the door … in every facet of his life it appears. So where’s he headed next? In the real estate world, Dempsey found another home about a mile from Venice Beach, Calif., for a modest $1.9 million. As for his McDreamy TV character’s fate … if you watch Grey’s Anatomy online , you’ll see how they handled the grieving process. By not showing it. View Slideshow: 19 Amazing Celebrity Homes

Richie Sambora’s breakup with Denise Richards was nowhere near as bitter as this! After reports that Sambora threatened to kill ex-girlfriend Nikki Lund, it as been reported conversely that these claims are false, but just who is telling the truth? The Bon Jovi rocker is currently sunning it up in Bora Bora with ex-wife Heather Locklear and their daughter, but it sounds like he is going to be coming back to a nightmare since it has been revealed that he is a “person of interest” in police enquiries . “They are in the midst of unraveling their fashion business Nikki Rich,” a source told Daily Mail Online . “Things have become very bitter in recent weeks.” “The two had a war of words after Lund debuted her first solo line. He said words to the effect that he was going to dig a hole in the desert and bury her.” Lund held off going to the cops because she thought that the “situation would resolve itself.” Because that always happens, right? Representatives for Sambora, the guitarist for the iconic band who famously quit Bon Jovi in 2013 due to personal issues, have denied the allegations. “This is a cluster of fabricated lies in retaliation for Mr Sambora’s decision to cease further funding of the unprofitable partnership, plain and simple,” said the rep. Could Lund really be doing this because his decision to stop funding the company? Anything is possible. Who do you believe in this whole mess, Sambora or Lund?
