Justin Bieber Thinks He Won the Orlando Bloom Fight, Source Says

The fallout from the Justin Bieber-Orlando Bloom fight  gets more hilarious by the day. As you may know, Justin has been taunting Bloom on Instagram , posting and deleting a photo of Bloom appearing to be in tears, as well as a shot of Bloom’s ex-wife Miranda Kerr. It was originally thought that this was Bieber’s way of venting his frustration at having been swung on and humiliated in front of a star-studded crowd in Ibiza. Now, sources tell TMZ that – despite having not thrown a punch –  Bieber thinks he “won” the fight , and his endless online needling of Bloom is his way of reminding the public how “hard” he is. According to Justn’s posse, Bieber didn’t even recognize Bloom when he attempted to shake his hand, and was confused and pissed when Bloom rebuffed him. Bieber now believes that the general public thinks he came out on top in the confrontation, and he’s delusionally basking in his victory. Insiders say Justin is loving every moment of the press coverage, which he believes makes him look like a badass with street cred galore (an image he’s been trying to cultivate for years). He’s reportedly also enjoying the fact that so many people mistakenly believe that he slept with Kerr.  Stars React to Justin Bieber-Orlando Bloom Fight 1. Jimmy Fallon “Orlando Bloom apparently threw a punch at Justin Bieber last night during an argument at a nightclub,” the Tonight Show host said in his monologue. “Orlando’s hand was pretty sore today…You know, from all the high fives he got!”

Two new haunting poster for Gone Girl have been unveiled. Both feature Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, the husband accused of killing his wife in the upcoming film, which is based on Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel.

Jennifer Garner: Pregnant with Baby #4?!?

Ben Affleck is set to star in Gone Girl and also as Batman in the 2016 Man of Steel sequel. But the actor’s hectic professional life may be nothing compared to his busy personal life… because wife Jennfer Garner is pregnant with the couple’s fourth child! If you believe this week’s issue of OK! Weekly for some reason. The cover of this supermarket rag screams about a SHOCKER and claims JEN’S PREGNANT, although the fine print reads that Jen and Ben are getting “ready for baby No. 4.” It also alleges Affleck and Garner have been in counseling, which might have something to do with Affleck’s gambling addiction . Again, only if you actually buy what the magazine is selling. The couple, one of our favorites in Hollywood, is already parents to Violet Anne Affleck (born December 1, 2005); Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck (born January 6, 2009); and Samuel Garner Affleck (born February 27, 2012). We don’t think they’ll be adding to this brood again any time soon. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Photos: Through the Years 1. Bennifer Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Such a sweet couple.

Ben Affleck Kicked Out of ANOTHER Casino; Is Jennifer Garner Ready to Split From Troubled Husband?

Ben Affleck was banned from a Vegas casino last month, and rather than taking the incident as a sign that he should change his ways, Ben has reportedly begun gambling more than, and it seems his addiction may soon cost him his marriage. Affleck is filming Batman vs. Superman in Michigan at the moment and sources say the Oscar winner has been spending the vast majority of his free time in the casinos of nearby Windsor, Ontario. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: Fighting Over His Gambling? One Windsor resident tells Star magazine that Ben’s gambling is so problematic that he’s unwelcome at most betting tables: “Ben walked in and went straight to the card games. He sat down and played for about 20 minutes before security heard he was there. They made the dealers stop what they were doing and asked him to leave. Ben seemed pretty mad.” Insiders close to his family say it’s not just casino workers who are fed up with Ben: According to Star , Jennifer Garner had originally planned to join Ben in Michigan for the summer, but had a change of heart upon receiving news of his most recent relapse. “Jen canceled her trip,” says a source. “She doesn’t want to be Ben’s enabler or babysitter. She was absolutely mortified about the Las Vegas incident, and everything has really gone downhill since then.” Here’s hoping Ben gets his act together ASAP. No one wants to see a Batman who had to pawn his utility belt.

Ben Affleck: Banned from Blackjack Table in Vegas!

Apparently directing isn’t the only thing Ben Affleck is very good at. According to TMZ sources, the actor was given the boot from a blackjack table at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tuesday night because he was doing too darn well. The security said, ‘We have to stop you because you’re too good,’ ” an insider adds to People. Afflech was on a romantic getaway with wife Jennifer Gardner and was allegedly caught counting cards, which is not against the law. But it is frowned upon by all casinos. The Oscar winner was not given the boot from the Hard Rock, it should be noted, only the blackjack table. In a statement issued on last night night, the establishment made it clear: “Mr. Affleck, a valued guest of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is not banned from our property and is welcome back any time.” Affleck is a well-known card shark. In 2001, he reportedly garnered $800,000 in blackjack winnings (at the Hard Rock no less) by playing three $20,000 blackjack hands at once.
