Casey Affleck Slams Trump Policies We’ve been really trying to avoid feeling any type of positive vibes for Casey Affleck for a number of reasons, one of them being that he’s a relative of Ben Affleck’s who definitely reaps plenty of the nepotistic benefits of being Ben’s little brother, another being that he’s pretty much the only thing standing in the way of Denzel getting a Best Actor Oscar tonight for “Fences” and the last being that he hasn’t been half as clumsy as Nate Parker when maneuvering around questions about his shady past which includes sexual assault allegations, but clearly the guy is trying to redeem himself and after the speech he gave at the Independent Spirit Awards Saturday night we may even have to watch ‘Manchester By The Sea’ finally. After all — besides slamming Donald Trump’s policies for being un-American he also quoted our director homie Ezra Edelman’s mom — Marian Wright Edelman, who is a national treasure and an absolute HERO of a black woman (she founded the Children’s Defense Fund). Edelman last week penned a beautiful op-ed for the Huffington Post which discussed how the family of Frederick Douglass stepped up following President Trump’s Black History Month breakfast blunder to remind the country of his legacy. In that piece, Edelman called this a “time to struggle for the future of the soul of our nation.” “I know this feels preachy and boring and I’m preaching to the choir but I’m just lending my little voice to the chorus here,” Affleck added. “And saying that all of you, [if] you are struggling, you’re doing it so, so well and speaking up and I’m really proud to be a part of this community for that reason.” Clap for him?
Jennifer Garner Files For Divorce From Ben Affleck After two years of being legally separated, Jennifer Garner is finally pulling the trigger on an official divorce from Ben Affleck. If you’ll recall, rumors swirled that Ben had gotten a little too friendly with the family nanny …and Jennifer put Ben on probation with a legal separation. The two split semi-officially back in 2015, but continued to co-parent, share a home, and hang out socially on a pretty frequent basis for the last two years. In fact, these two were so buddy-buddy after their split that most folks wondered if the divorce was really ever going to happen. BUT Jennifer made it clear today that she’s not with the ishts with Ben anymore, and sent the official paperwork in to make their marriage a true thing of the past. But as a source tells Us Weekly , there’s really not any hard feelings between these two: “No matter what happens, Ben and Jen are committed to raising their family as one unit and will continue to do so as it has worked for them. They are both committed to their family.” Well at least they’re cool. And now they can each get on with their lives with new boos… Splash/WENN/AKM-GSI
Britney Spears’ Niece Maddie In Critical Condition Britney Spears’ 8-year-old niece is in critical condition at a New Orleans hospital after suffering an ATV accident at her home on Sunday. According to TMZ , Jamie Lynn Spears’ daughter Maddie was riding in her Polaris when she swerved her wheels to avoid rolling into a ditch.

She remained submerged for 2 minutes while Jamie Lynn and her husband ran 100 yards to her aid then frantically tried to unfasten her seat belt and free her from the netting to get her out.
