Ben Affleck: Lindsay Shookus Is My Sobriety Coach!

Even though they haven’t announced it, it looks as though Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus are officially back together . In a way, it seems like a foregone conclusion, as these two always felt like a good match. But in another way, this reunion was a major long shot. After all, Ben has been through a lot in the months since he and Lindsay parted ways the first time. Yes, Affleck banged a Playboy model for a while, but that’s to be expected when someone who used to play Batman is newly single. If Christian Bale ever gets divorced, they’re just gonna have to close off the Mansion for a month to let him make up for lost time. Anyway, the biggest change that Ben underwent had to do with his sobriety. At the behest of his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, Affleck checked into rehab for the third time last year. While it’s unclear what sort of relationship Garner and Shookus have, it looks like two of the most important women in Ben’s life joined forces to help the Oscar winner stay sober. According to a new report from Page Six, Lindsay functions as a sort of “sobriety coach” for Ben these days. Not only does she abstain in his presence, she even goes so far as to make sure no one else imbibes around Ben. “Lindsay doesn’t drink around Ben,” a source tells the outlet. “She isn’t keeping alcohol in her home.” The insider says Lindsay and Ben have been steering clear of SNL after-parties (she’s a producer on the show), which are known to be boozy affairs. “She is like his sober coach,” says the source. Lindsay reportedly joined Ben at the premiere of his new film, Triple Frontier , where she ran interference between her boo and the open bar. “She made sure to not have any alcohol near him,” said one onlooker. “And she was making sure other people weren’t drinking around him.” So what do Ben and Lindsay sip on now that Affleck is six months sober? “They drink coffee a lot — she encourages that instead of alcohol,” says the insider. Sounds like a much safer choice. But don’t get Ben loaded up on espresso and then ask him about the Robert Kraft sex trafficking scandal . Dude gets all worked up over the Patriots.

Vicki Gunvalson to Boyfriend Steve Lodge: Thanks for Saving My Job!

Vicki Gunvalson is eager to keep her role on  The Real Housewives of Orange County , and everyone else is paying the price. But though she’s reportedly  a holy terror on set , Vicki wants fans to know that her private life is peaceful and happy. That’s why she’s flaunting her boyfriend, Steve Lodge. That relationship is what saved her career. Vicki Gunvalson shared this photo of her with boyfriend Steve Lodge. The two had a romantic evening on Saturday, March 2. In addition to flaunting their love on Instagram, Vicki included a caption for context. “Date night with my man @stevelodge_oc after filming,” Vicki writes. She then included the hashtags: “#rhoc #bravo #season14.” Clearly, Vicki wants to make  certain  that everyone knows that she saved her job. Vicki’s relationship with Steve has certainly provided entertainment so far. But she nearly lost her role on the show because she didn’t have a real storyline to offer for this season. Vicki went through weeks of negotiations, missing filming, before her attorneys finally convinced Bravo that she can bring the entertainment factor. But reports sayt hat Vicki made some major promises. It’s said that Steve will have to propose to her during this season. If what we’ve heard is true, Vicki has promised to deliver a dramatic proposal and a wedding to keep herself interesting and relevant. But Vicki isn’t planning to rely solely upon her relationship status to keep her on the show. She’s determined to avoid being demoted to a “Friend” this season — or on any other season. As a result, she’s been bombarding her castmates and so-called friends with endless drama. “Vicki has been a total pain in the ass during the first few filming sessions that she has been back on set,” a source claimed. “She is throwing temper tantrums,” the insider elaborated. “And starting fights.” Vicki is doing this “because she is terrified of getting booted from the show.” “She knows that she has to bring the drama,” the source explained. “And she’s been doing just that.” Why did Vicki, the longest reigning Housewife in the franchise, have such an uphill battle to keep her gig? For one thing, she just didn’t have a storyline. Now, thanks to her romance with Steve Lodge, she does. The other big factor for producers was apparently Vicki’s spreading of rumors that Kelly Dodd is some sort of coke fiend. Drama makes for good television, but there are lines. And for Vicki, who has spread rumors about Eddie Judge and David Beador in the past, it was part of a pattern. Was Vicki right to grovel and promise huge relationship milestones to keep her job? Who knows, honestly — we can only be certain of things like this in hindsight. But some are saying that she should have followed NeNe Leakes’ example. NeNe was once demoted to “Friend” of the Housewives, so she just sat out that season. When ratings bombed, NeNe returned with a hefty pay raise and with producers too terrified to risk demoting her again any time soon. Would the same trick have worked for Vicki? Who can say?

NBA Legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Auctions Off Memorabilia To Push STEM Education Forward

N BA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has used mementos from his storied basketball journey for a good cause. According to CBS News , Abdul-Jabbar auctioned off his memorabilia and some of the proceeds will be donated to an organization that he started that is working towards bringing STEM education to underserved communities. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar auctions off NBA championship rings and other memorabilia for STEM education https://t.co/9oo5YBZSzB pic.twitter.com/2wmQqmQEVJ — CBS News (@CBSNews) February 28, 2019 The Los Angeles-based organization—dubbed the Skyhook Foundation—was designed to make educational programming surrounding science, technology, engineering, and math accessible to underserved youngsters, the news outlet writes. As part of a collaborative effort with the Los Angeles Unified School District, UCLA and NASA, the foundation offers a program called Camp Skyhook which takes grade school students on a five-day educational experience in the Angeles National Forest. The organization has served over 4,000 students since its inception. “When it comes to choosing between storing a championship ring or trophy in a room, or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives, the choice is pretty simple. Sell it all,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote in a statement featured on his website. “Looking back on what I have done with my life, instead of gazing at the sparkle of jewels or gold plating celebrating something I did a long time ago, I’d rather look into the delighted face of a child holding their first caterpillar and think about what I might be doing for their future. That’s a history that has no price.” He partnered Goldin Auctions to sell his items which were each worth thousands of dollars. Among the items that were featured in the auction were four of his championship rings, an all-star ring, an MVP trophy, and an autographed basketball from 1989. According to Bleacher Report , the items were auctioned off for nearly $3 million. Underserved communities across the country lack access to resources and funding for STEM education. It’s powerful to see Abdul-Jabbar use his platform to change that narrative.

T hroughout her career journey, Shonda Rhimes has continued to set the bar high in the entertainment industry. She is the first Black woman to develop and executive produce a Top 10 network series and she is continuing to make historic moves.

The current cast of Grey’s Anatomy features actors Jesse Williams , Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers . The show made its debut in 2005 and has been going strong ever since. “I wanted to see people on television who look like me, and I wanted to see people on television who look like my friends. And I didn’t relate to a lot of the women on television because they didn’t seem realistic. It was just about writing people I wanted to watch, and writing people who felt like the people I knew. That’s what we ended up doing,” said Rhimes in an interview with Business Insider . She also added that it’s important to authentically bring narratives to life when working in television and not chase trends. “The goal is to make sure it’s not a trend. I don’t know what I can do to encourage it. I tell the stories I tell and I do it naturally.” Rhimes has seen success with many of the projects that she’s created including Private Practice , Scandal , and How to Get Away with Murder . In 2017, she inked a multi-year deal with Netflix where through her Shondaland production company she will develop eight series.

Jordyn Woods and Jada Pinkett Smith Jordyn Woods appeared on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, who has known her for all of her life, to explain what really happened. 2.

Travis Scott: Evidence He Cheated on Kylie Jenner REVEALED?!

As you’ve likely heard by now,  Kylie Jenner has accused Travis Scott of cheating on her. In case you’ve somehow avoided the whole tawdry situation, here’s a brief rundown: Travis has spent the past several weeks on tour, and he made the trip from the East Coast to LA in order to surprise Kylie and the couple’s daughter, Stormi. Unfortunately, the trip went sour in a hurry when — according to TMZ — Kylie discovered “evidence” that Scott had cheated on her. It first it was unclear exactly what that evidence consisted of. Now, Radar Online claims to have uncovered the truth about Kylie’s “proof.” And if her case is as flimsy as the site says, she may end up owing Travis an apology. A source tells Radar that Kylie became angry after receiving a tip from a woman who claimed to have slept with Travis. “Kylie got anonymous messages from a woman claiming to be Travis’ side piece,” the insider says. “The woman had no proof, but Kylie flipped out.” From there we pretty much know what transpired. Kylie “flipped out” to such a degree that Scott was forced to cancel a scheduled show in Buffalo on Thursday night. Scott blamed the cancelation on an unspecified illness, but insiders have confirmed that he remained in SoCal in hopes of playing damage control and making things right with Kylie. Since news of the infidelity accusation broke last night, Scott has maintained his innocence. “Travis Scott vehemently denies he cheated on Kylie. It is not true. He did not cheat,” his rep stated. “He cancelled one show tonight because he is under the weather.” Insiders say Kylie might not be so quick to believe an anonymous tipster, were it not for the fact that she’s been “paranoid” in recent weeks due to the Tristan Thompson-Jordyn Woods cheating scandal. Jordyn was Kylie’s best friend, and the fact that she slept with Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend with seemingly no concern for the damage that would be caused by her actions has left Kylie feeling that she has no one to trust. But if Travis is telling the truth (and if no further evidence emerges) then we’re sure Kylie will eventually come around. Until then, dude might do well to remain on his best behavior.

Kylie Jenner: It Wasn’t Jordyn Woods’ Fault She Banged Tristan …

In the aftermath of this cheating scandal, Jordyn Woods has been blacklisted and shunned for boning Tristan . She’s lost her best friend, her home, and a chunk of her career over this. But it didn’t have to be this way. In fact, a new report reveals that, when news of this scandal first broke, Kylie defended Jordyn. Us Weekly reports that, according to their sources, Kylie wasn’t initially onboard with the plan to excise Jordyn from the family. They’re BFFs, and Kylie didn’t want to lose one of the most important people in her life because of one dude’s dong. “Kylie defended Jordyn in the beginning,” the insider reveals. And even though she eventually sided with Khloe, Kylie’s ardent defense of Jordyn made an impression. “At first,” the source shares. “The family thought Kylie would eventually take Jordyn back.” “But now they don’t think that she will,” the insider adds. “It will be very hard for Kylie to lose Jordyn because she’s her best friend,” another source explains. “She doesn’t have a lot of friends,” the insider notes. That might sound surprising, but it actually makes a lot of sense. “And honestly,” the source explains, Kylie “can’t because of her lifestyle.” Fame on Kylie’s level isn’t conducive to having crowds of close, true friends. “So,” the insider continues. “She has latched onto Jordyn.” Another source says that Jordyn has been “trying to apologize” to both Kylie and Khloe. “But,” the insider shares. “They still aren’t speaking to her.” They even revoked her clearance at the gate to Kylie’s neighborhood. This is heartbreaking. “Jordyn still loves Kylie and Khloe as family,” the source expresses. The insider reveals that “She is beyond upset to have lost them in her life right now.” “Khloe feels so betrayed,” the source characterizes. Tristan has of course cheated on Khloe before. Again, and again, and again. “This time,” the insider notes. “It hurts even more.” It hurts “because the person who it was with is someone who knows very much what Khloe has gone through in the past year.” “Jordyn,” the source explains. “Is like part of the family.” On Tuesday, February 26, Khloe addressed her fans to respond to her latest heartbreak. “Hi loves,” Khloe writes on social media. “Wanted you to know that I appreciate you!” “I’ve been reading your kind words,” she reveals. “And they really are a blessing to me.” “I love you!” she affirms. “Thank you Thank you!” “I’ll be back when I’m in the mood to chat with you all,” Khloe promises. “Until then,” she implores them. “Remember to be kind to one another.” It seems like the Kardashians have placed Jordyn in an unfortunate position. She’s like family, so they’re as upset over this as if Jordyn were Khloe’s sister, not the best friend of Khloe’s much-younger half-sister. In other words, because of how close she is, they’re taking this more seriously. At the same time, Jordyn isn’t officially part of the Kardashian family, so they also feel like she’s disposable. If the Kardashians were this willing to write off their own flesh and blood after screw-ups, Rob would have been gone a long time ago. Jordyn is simultaneously an insider and an outsider, and getting the worst of both worlds. Perhaps, over time, cooler heads will prevail.

Err Jordyn: Khloe Hires P.I. to Catch Tristan’s Mistress Lying!

Jordyn Woods might be starting to think she can move on from her affair with Tristan Thompson and put the whole ugly mess behind her. Then again, she’s known the Kardashians long enough to realize that these women know how to hold a grudge, and they’re big believers in the power of revenge. As you’ve likely heard by now, Jordyn slept with Tristan Thompson after the two of them got flirty at a February 17 house party. This made major waves within the Kard clan, as Jordyn was Kylie Jenner’s best friend, and Tristan was dating Khloe Kardashian at the time. Obviously, as soon as word got out, Khloe dumped Tristan and Kylie kicked Jordyn out of her guesthouse . And that was the end of that, right? Well, not entirely. For obvious reasons, Jordyn does not want to lose her friendship with the woman who will soon be the world’s youngest billionaire. And so, she’s working hard to justify her actions. Two events are central to Jordyn’s version of events — it was a one-time mistake, and she was hammered. In fact, Jordyn claims she was so drunk that she doesn’t even remember hooking up with Tristan. Unfortunately for her, the Kards aren’t buying it. “Khloe doesn’t believe that it was a one-time thing, and neither do the rest of the Kardashians,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “She hired a PI to find out how long they had been having an affair,” the insider adds. “If it turns out that it was an ongoing thing, Khloe is going to use this on the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” Basically, it sounds like Khloe wants to dig up enough dirt to justify banning Jordyn from the Kardashians’ inner circle for good. “As far as Jordyn goes, Khloe and Kylie have already gotten their revenge because Jordyn has been blacklisted by the entire family,” says the source. “No one wants anything to do with her, and if it turns out that she was having an ongoing affair with Tristan, there will be serious hell to pay.” Something tells us Jordyn’s not out of the woods quite yet.

The Totally Real Thoughts Lamar Odom Definitely Has About Tristan Cheating on Khloe

Since Tristan Thompson cheated on Khloe Kardashian for the upteenth time, countless fans have had one question on their minds: When, they wonder, will Lamar Odom rush to Khloe’s side to offer comfort to his ex? A new report tells us how Lamar is really feeling about Khloe’s latest heartbreak. Us Weekly  reports that Lamar Odom’s heart goes out to his ex-wife after  yet anothe r humiliation by her baby daddy. “Lamar feels really bad about what Khloe is going through,” an inside source reveals. From his perspective, it seems so unfair. The insider explains: “He feels like she doesn’t deserve it.” “And,” the source continues. “She is such a great mother and partner.” “He will always have love for her,” the insider affirms. Lamar and Khloe were married, after all.  She even halted their divorce so that she could be his caregiver during his medical crisis a few years ago. But he doesn’t need to return the favor by rushing to her side, because she already has the strongest support system in the world. “He knows how tight-knit her family is,” the source notes. “And,” the insider says. “He knows they’ll help her get through it.” According to the inside source, Lamar has not actually reached out to Khloe just yet.  Maybe he’s unsure of what to say. Maybe he’s not sure if she wants to hear from him while she’s deep in her feelings. Or maybe it’s the 12-hour time difference. Lamar has been working in Dubai. However, the source says that Lamar wants to contact Khloe soon. According to the insider, he fully intends to “let her know he is always there for her.” The fallout from Tristan being caught making out with Jordyn Woods has been intense. Jordyn was Kylie’s BFF. She was practically family. But clearly,  practically  doesn’t cut it with the Kardashians. Kim and Kourtney have both unfollowed Jordyn and Tristan on Instagram, a clear an public shunning. Khloe has only unfollowed Jordyn — she continues to follow Tristan even though she dumped his cheating ass. Kendall, who has always stood out in her family, unfollowed Tristan but continues to follow Jordyn. (Good) Kylie, who is the closest to this situation aside from Khloe herself, has yet to take action in terms of Instagram followers. We can only imagine how emotionally devastated Jordyn is feeling right now. Wait, we don’t have to imagine — an inside source spoke on that, too. “Jordyn is living in hell right now,” an insider told  Us Weekly . After the scandal and the fallout, the source said, “she feels terrible and her world has been rocked.” “Jordyn feels lost and isolated right now,” the insider continues. Without her BFF Kylie, the source says, “she feels like she has no one to confide in.” Jordyn wasn’t just Kylie’s bestie. She was like a second mom to one-year-old baby Stormi. Like Travis Scott, Jordyn was with Kylie for every step of her pregnancy. She was even there when Kylie learned she was pregnant. Now Jordyn has lost that part of her life — and she has also lost her home. She had been living with Kylie, but Kylie evicted her this week. Perhaps a phone call from Lamar Odom will help to cool Khloe’s partially misdirected outrage at Jordyn. Kylie and Jordyn’s lives shouldn’t be turned upside down because Khloe waited 10 months to give Tristan the boot.
