Jennifer Garner Fights With Ben Affleck in Public, Debuts New Boyfriend!

Rare is the Hollywood actor whose personal life is more dramatic than the roles he plays onscreen. In the case of Ben Affleck, the gap is so wide that we wish he’d put this Batman nonsense to rest and focus on producing a livestreaming, 24-hour, Truman Show -esque documentary about his day-to-day existence. Last week, Ben was in a motorcycle accident  while rushing to meet his family at church. (If that doesn’t sound like a superhero origin story, we don’t know what does.) Now, it seems Jennifer Garner is deeply concerned about Ben’s safety and has strongly encouraged her ex to put the bike on blocks. And by “strongly encouraged,” we mean she went off on him in front of the other soccer moms. Yes, it seems the exes were watching their 5-year-old son Samuel on the field when Jen flipped on Ben seemingly out of nowhere. “She doesn’t want her kids to grow up without a dad,” one insider tells Radar Online. “Jen believes he’s being incredibly childish and selfish,” the source adds. “She believes he needs to start acting more like a dad and less like a kid.” The source adds that the battle of Jen vs. Ben was a mostly one-sided affair. “Jen emptied out on Ben, and he seemed to be on the offensive,” the onlooker claims. “She only seemed to calm down when Samuel got close to them.” It seems part of the reason Garner was so upset is the fact she simply doesn’t approve of Affleck’s relationship with Lindsay Shookus, the SNL producer whom he’s been dating for over a year. “Jen’s fed up with Ben’s behavior – especially since they agreed to divorce,” one insider tells Radar. “She doesn’t like Lindsay and says she’s a bad influence on him.” There’s no word on why Jen doesn’t approve of Lindsay, but it’s not hard to guess. After all, shortly after Affleck and Shookus were spotted drinking together , he checked into rehab for the third time in a year. Apparently, Garner recently went so far as to issue an ultimatum: “She told him to clean up his act or stay away from the kids,” says the source. But just because Jen doesn’t approve of Ben’s new girlfriend, that doesn’t mean she’s not ready to move on herself. Radar recently published photos of Jen on what appears to be a date with an unidentified mystery man. No one seems to have any information on who Jen’s new love interest is, but she certainly seems to be into him! So these days, Ben and Jen have both moved on with someone new … but it doesn’t seem like they’ll be easing up on one another anytime soon.

NeNe Leakes: I Had a REAL Breakdown, People!

NeNe Leakes has not had a great week. A few days ago, the reality star stepped into some scalding hot water after she responded to a heckler at a stand-up show by telling her she hopes she gets raped by her Uber drive . Yeah: YIKES ! After receiving some well-deserved backlash for this remark, Leakes was fired from The Great Xscape Tour and sources have said she may also be let go from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. NeNe proceeded to issue a heartfelt apology, saying on Instagram: “I truly regret and apologize for what I said from the stage in Oakland over the weekend… “As a woman and someone who has survived abuse, I regret the words that I used.” Pretty straightforward and, really, all NeNe could say given the circumstances, right? But with the criticism increasing and her career in jeopardy, Leakes then recoded a video in which she bawled her eyes out and REALLY apologized. “I never want to cause harm to anybody else, not in that kind of way,” she said this time around, adding: “Everybody who know me knows that I never would want that to happen.” So… days later, how is Leakes feeling about everything right now? Pretty good, but it got ugly there for a bit. “A lot of people know me as NeNe who’s laughing and talking, a lot of don’t know me as NeNe who would break down,” Leakes said on Instagram last night, expounding as follows: “I actually had a real breakdown.” Don’t panic, however, fans. NeNe says she’s in a much better place now. “Trust and believe, I’m so okay, I’m in a great place today,” she said. “I can’t say I haven’t been in a great place these last few days. I’m so okay with everything, I just haven’t talked a lot or spoken out a lot.” The Bravo star was scheduled to host a November concert featuring girl group Xscape (including her Real Housewives of Atlanta costar Kandi Burruss). However, the group announced yesterday that they were “dismayed” by the remark Leakes made. “Yesterday I got a little bit emotional. I have never said anything that the heckler said to me. All the girls on the tour with me know what happened,” Leakes continued on Instagram. She concluded optimistically, stating: “I plan on not letting anyone take my joy. I created my own show because I wanted to get out and express some of the things that I have inside of me. “I don’t consider myself a comedian, I always say that. I’ve said that since the day I first started. I just consider myself a s–t talker, a funny lady. I never imagined ever, ever, ever stepping on stage and somebody screaming out ‘Go kill yourself’ to me. “It literally took me somewhere else, I apologize. I’ve let that go.” So… NeNe is mostly sorry, yet also wants everyone to know that the heckler told her to commit suicide. We can understand how that could be traumatizing. We can’t understand ever making a rape joke, though. And we definitely can’t understand hiring NeNe Leakes to do a stand-up act. View Slideshow: 15 Real Housewives Stars Who Have Been Arrested

Jennifer Garner Finally Responds to Ben Affleck Sex Scandals

If you’ve spent any time on social media this week, then you’re likely aware that that the film industry has recently been rocked by repeated scandals, and the reverberations are likely to be felt for years to come. The controversy began with duel New York Times and New Yorker exposés detailing the shocking sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein , the famed producer who rose to power as the co-founder of both Miramax Films and the Weinstein Company. The charges against Weinstein led to a barrage of stunning revelations against a number of other powerful men in Hollywood, including actor and Oscar-winning director Ben Affleck. Like many others in Hollywood, Affleck spoke out against Weinstein in a public statement issued not long after word of his appalling misconduct went public. Unlike his colleagues, however, Affleck soon found himself in the position of being forced to explain some disturbing behavior of his own. The trouble began for the 45-year-old when video of Affleck groping MTV host Hilarie Burton resurfaced. The actor issued an apology for the 2003 incident, but other accusations followed soon after. Yesterday Hollywood makeup artist Annamarie Tindler accused Affleck of harassing her at the 2014 Golden Globes. “I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my ass at a Golden Globes party in 2014,” tweeted Tindler, who is also the wife of comedian John Mulaney. At this point, it appears that Tindler has not yet received that apology. Naturally, many have wondered how the mother of Ben’s three children is reacting to the allegations against her ex-husband. Jennifer Garner has yet to speak publicly about the charges, but a source close to the actress says she’s understandably displeased with what she’s hearing. “[Garner] is very annoyed because it just means more attention on her and the kids as a result of Ben’s actions,” a source tells E! News. “She tries to shield them from any and all publicity and scrutiny. She’s taking her kids to school and to all of their activities. As far as they know nothing has changed and all is well. That is always her goal but she’s been pretty frustrated with him.” We’re guessing the source is downplaying things and Jen is more than just “annoyed.” Recent reports indicate that Jen was already questioning Ben’s fitness as a parent, petitioning the courts to force Affleck to undergo drug testing before he’s granted permission for overnight visitations from his son and daughters. The former couple was seen participating in a family outing with their kids earlier this week, but onlookers say both parties looked “tense.” It’s certainly not hard to see why that might have been.

Lamar Odom’s Family Lays Into Khloe Kardashian: What a Disgrace!

If Lamar Odom is really trying to win back Khloe Kardashian , he may want to tell certain family members to stop slamming his ex-wife. Following the reality star’s admission that she actually faked trying to get pregnant while married to Odom, the former basketball player’s cousin has come out with some harsh words against Kardashian. “There’s no way to defend what Khloe did. It is disgraceful,” Simone Greggs tells In Touch , holding very little back. Odom’s relative goes on to acknowledge certain devious actions committed by her loved one, but says they don’t compare to what Khloe pulled. “Yes, Lamar deceived Khloe with his infidelities, but she deceived him too by faking fertility treatments when she knew all along she didn’t want to bring a baby into the world. “That’s betrayal.” On the season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe admitted that she told Lamar she was undergoing IVF in order for the couple to conceive after many years of trying and failing. But she was apparently misleading her then-husband. “I knew the circumstances weren’t the healthiest,” Khloe said on camera, referring to her toxic marriage with the NBA star that ended more than three years ago. “So I just kept pretending I was doing it.” Khloe and Lamar were married for four years, but the latter struggled with an addiction to drugs and alcohol during a significant portion of their relationship. “I had to stop [the treatments[ because there was much deeper stuff that was happening in our marriage,” Khloe said during a confessional last Sunday night, adding: “It wasn’t the right kind of situation to bring a child into, and I think I’ve done a lot of covering up for him.” We’re guessing Khloe would admit at this point that she didn’t handle the situation so well. She likely should have been up front with Lamar. But we can’t begin to understand what she was going through at the time, in terms of Lamar’s drug use and, later on, his admitted infidelity. At this point in her life, meanwhile, it sounds as if Khloe is ready to take this major step in her personal life. She’s been dating Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Tristan Thompson for several months now and sources say he wants to have kids. Actually, he wants to have many kids and Kardashian is all for it. “Tristan and I definitely talk about starting a family,” Khloe told Kim Kardashian on this same finale, adding of her boyfriend: “He wants to have five or six kids with me and that’s lovely. We could start at one and we could grow from there.” And they may be starting at this exact moment, as you’re reading this… considering Khloe also confessed she has gone off birth control. As many viewers may be aware by now,  Keeping Up with the Kardashians suffered a ratings crash on Season 13. Its popularity has fallen pretty far these days, meaning producers may soon be looking for fresh and exciting storylines to freshen things up for Season 14. In other words: Can anyone else hear wedding bells? Does anyone else think a televised ceremony may be in the works for Khloe and Tristan? Sorry, Lamar. You really need to move on, buddy.

Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner: Still Considering Divorce?!

Just last week, several media outlets reported that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner had decided to reconcile after 18 months of separation. The news didn’t come as a total shock, as neither Affleck nor Garner filed for divorce  during the year and a half they were apart. Now, however, it seems the tabloid press may have jumped the gun by reporting that Bennifer 2.0 was officially back on. According to Us Weekly, despite rumors to the contrary, Garner is still very much considering calling it quits on her marriage. The magazine claims that Garner is now open to the possibility of giving Ben another chance, but as of right now, the couple remains separated. “They could always get back together,” a source tells Us. “There is a lot of love and support there, and they have worked out a way to have their family that works for them.” Sounds like Ben and Jen remain mired in a limbo of indecision, unwilling to officially pull the plug and file for divorce, but afraid of giving the man-and-wife thing another go only to have it blow up in their faces. It seems that for much of their time apart, Jen has been hoping for Ben to change his ways (He’s been accused of heavy drinking, excessive gambling, and nanny-banging Christine Ouzounian .) and now he’s finally beginning to show progress. Sources say Jen is currently dithering over whether it’s too little, too late. The tipster tells Us that Affleck and Garner’s issues go back several years, and Ben has had to talk Jen into sticking it out on several occasions: “They were going to divorce when Sam was born, but you know how it is — baby comes and solves the issues for a bit, but it’s just a Band-Aid. It hasn’t been working for ages,” a source said at the time. “Ben truly wanted his idea of family life and the idea of family he had growing up in Boston, so he stayed in it longer than he wanted to because of the kids and the idea of family. But he couldn’t save it.” During their separation, Ben and Jen attended marriage counseling , but sources say they quit after a couple sessions. These days it sounds like there’s a remote possibility of a reconciliation … … but the smart money is still on Affleck and Garner going their separate ways.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: Divorce Called Off … Probably!

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s divorce has been called off – or at least put on indefinite hold – more than a year after their public split. View Slideshow: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Photos: A Romantic Rewind The couple broke up last summer, but in recent months, any talk of getting divorced has ceased altogether, sources reveal to Us Weekly.  All despite an ugly breakup and rumors that Ben was drinking, gambling, away for long periods of time and/or banging Christine Ouzounian , In fact, neither party has filed divorce paperwork. Ever. “Jen mentioned that the divorce was going through very soon, and then a few weeks ago, things changed,” says a source close to Garner. “It does not seem to be moving in that direction.” The actor, 43, and actress, 44, are cohabiting with their kids in their $17.5 million mansion, albeit in separate bedrooms at the moment. Garner ” seems to still be in love with Ben but doesn’t allow her mind to go there,” says a friend close to the mother of three. “She just focuses on the kids.” As for the dude down the hall? “If it was up to Ben,” adds a second insider close to the situation, “they would be together. He feels like he can’t live without Jen.” Another Affleck source insists that the breakup is still happening, but lawyers are hammering out the details of their divorce privately. “They were never in a rush to file,” the insider says of the parents of Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Samuel, 4, regardless of their issues.  “This was always the plan.” “They want their kids’ lives to go on as uninterrupted as possible,” says the friend, reiterating that this is their priority and there is no rush. So … will they or won’t they? Right now, the jury is still out. For every report like this, or Jen taking back her divorce decision , which signals hope for the pair, there are others suggesting it’s over. Just recently, reports had Garner dating an accountant , or being tricked by Ben into staying with him … so clearly there’s a lot we don’t know.

Jennifer Garner Breaks Silence on Ben Affleck Divorce

Do not believe what you read: Jennifer Garner is not getting back together with Ben Affleck . But the actress is talking at length about her divorce from the Oscar winner. In a Vanity Fair cover article, Garner opens up more than ever before regarding her split from her husband of 10 years. She and Affleck stunned a nation last summer when they announced the dissolution of their marriage amidst rumors that Affleck cheated in Garner with the family nanny. But Garner takes the highest road possible in this feature piece, making it clear that infidelity was not the reason for the relationship ending. “Let me just tell you something,” she says matter-of-factly. “We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation.” The stars announced plans to divorce in June 2015.  Just a month later, the actor was linked to his children’s 28-year-old nanny, Christine Ouzounian , with photos surfacing of Affleck, Ouzounion and Tom Brady aboard a private jet. But even if Garner doesn’t cite this alleged affair as a basis for her divorce, it’s clear she doesn’t think highly of Ouzounian. “It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives,” she says, referring to her hiring of Ouzounian as an example of “bad judgment.” View Slideshow: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Photos: A Romantic Rewind If you’re looking for Garner to trash the father of her three kids, however, well… keep looking. “People have pain – they do regrettable things, they feel shame, and shame equals pain,” she says, adding: “No one needs to hate him for me. I don’t hate him. Certainly we don’t have to beat the guy up. Don’t worry – my eyes were wide open during the marriage. I’m taking good care of myself.” Garner and Affleck have clearly remained somewhat close since their split. They’ve been photographed together so often than talk of reconciliation flitters around the Internet every few months. Garner says she doesn’t read the Internet or follow any kind of celebrity gossip, so she knows nothing about that. But she does feel strongly about Affleck’s crazy new back tattoo , which is a gigantic etching of a Phoenix. “You know what we would say in my hometown about that? ‘Bless his heart .’ A phoenix rising from the ashes. “Am I the ashes in this scenario? I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.” God bless Jennifer Garner. Everyone should be this strong and grounded in the face of public heartbreak.

Jennifer Garner: Pregnant With Ben Affleck’s Baby, Source Claims

Ever since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their divorce , the ex-couple has been the subject of countless wild rumors.  At first, it seemed like a pretty straightforward celebrity divorce, complete with reports that Ben was banging the nanny . Then something strange happened. Weeks after they formally separated, Affleck and Garner continued to spend time together. Naturally, this led to rumors that Ben and Jen were back together . Reps for both parties have claimed that’s not the case, but that even so, In Touch is taking things to the next level and claiming that Jen is pregnant with Ben’s baby. “Jen was shocked when she found out about the pregnancy,” a source tells the magazine. “She was still committed to going through with the divorce, at least up until the past few weeks.” We’re having a tough time buying that, but it’s even harder to believe that Ben is actually happy about welcoming a fourth child with his ex: “Ben is ready to commit totally to Jen and fall in line as a faithful and dedicated family man,” says the insider. “But they have a long way to go. Ben is thrilled at the thought of another child. He sees it as an insurance policy that Jen will give a permanent reunion serious thought.” To the surprise of absolutely no one, Jen’s team is already issuing statements claiming that the story is BS. Sometimes it feels like the tabloids aren’t even trying anymore. We suppose it’s possible that Jen could be pregnant with Ben’s baby, but doe they do they really expect us to believe that Affleck wants to be a “faithful and dedicated family man?” Come on!

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux to Spend Next THREE MONTHS Apart?!

It’s only been three weeks since Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got married , but their marriage has already inspired just about every kind of rumor imaginable. Yesterday, Life & Style reported that Aniston had been “dumped” after just 21 days of wedded bliss. Today, Star magazine is taking a slightly less extreme tack, claiming that the newlyweds are distraught over the fact that their hectic work schedules will force them to spend the next three months in separate states. Yes, Justin Theroux apparently has a hectic work schedule. Shocking, right?! It seems Jen will be filming one of those awful holiday-themed Garry Marshall ensemble comedies (this time it’s Mother’s Day) in Atlanta, while Justin Theroux will be filming HBO’s The Leftovers (apparently still a thing) in Texas. “They’re going to be apart for three months,” a source tells Star. “It’s hardly the most romantic start to their marriage, but it’s not as if this separation is a surprise. That’s just the nature of the job. They’re both married to their careers, as well as to each other. “It’s going to be hard and it’s far from ideal. But Jen hopes their schedules will at least allow them to see each other every two weeks.” In other news, HBO has announced that Angelina Jolie will be featured in a small cameo on The Leftovers this season. Just kidding, Jen! View Slideshow: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux: A Romantic Rewind
