Bennifer has been relatively quiet for months. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been seen a few times walking arm in arm down a street, or going to dinner, or having an argument in a car but it was an incredibly quiet summer for them, and I imagine it will be a quiet fall. I?m fine with that I wish them well and I believe in them. I believe that it?s different now, that Ben has had enough of scratching his self-destructive itch, that he?s really making an effort to ensure that this marriage works. This is one of those rare situations where it feels like ?no news is good news.? Now, Page Six and other outlets are desperately trying to convince people that there?s drama behind the scenes, especially with their blended family. ?Sources? shut it down:
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are crushing co-parenting ? and they have Jennifer Lopez to thank for it. The singer has helped her husband and his ex-wife get to a ?better place,? a source told the Daily Mail Thursday.
?Ben is healthy,? the source continued. ?The drama of the past and the emotions of divorce are long gone and they are all making it work.?
In fact, Lopez herself is ?friendly? with Garner and all of their children ?love each other.?
?It is really a very happy co-parenting situation,? the source furthered.
The Grammy winner is the mother of twins Emme and Maximilian, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Meanwhile, Affleck and Garner share Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.
?Everything is really good right now and should be the same in the near and distant future,? the source gushed, going on to note that the actor, 51, and Lopez, 54, have also had ?many talks? about her co-parenting relationship with Marc Anthony.
?They all have been able to figure it out,? the outlet reported. ?It is actually inspiring and nice to see.?
[From Page Six]
I actually believe this? I don?t think Garner wants him back and I think she?s happy to see him with J.Lo. Or rather, Garner got there eventually, and I would also assume that J.Lo made an effort as well. I find the blended family aspect fascinating it?s clear that Emme and Seraphina were instantly tight, just as it was clear that Ben felt comfortable with J.Lo?s twins right away. As for Marc Anthony? from what?s I?ve heard, he?s barely involved with those kids, but whatever. Anyway, this is just my update I think Ben & J.Lo are fine, despite the efforts to make them sound like their marriage is already full of drama.

| | Sophie Turner released a letter from Joe Jonas stating his intention to move to the UK | | Added 236 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Don?t get me wrong, I think Joe Jonas is a creep, a jerk and probably quite sexist too. He clearly wanted Sophie Turner to be his tradwife, and he backtracked in a hurry when his week-long smear campaign against Sophie backfired. All that being said, as Sophie and Joe?s dueling legal filings have shown, Joe is a lot more prepared than Sophie. He?s been preparing for this divorce for months, he?s listening to his lawyers and, by filing for divorce first in Florida, he?s done a lot to control how the divorce and custody battles will proceed. All Sophie has is? a letter. A letter Joe wrote when they were shopping for real estate in the UK.
Sophie Turner has filed legal documents that include a heartfelt letter written by Joe Jonas to the seller of the U.K. home the former couple intended to purchase together before their split. The exes have been involved in a contentious ongoing custody dispute about where their children ? Willa, 3, and Delphine, 14 months ? should live in the wake of their divorce. The Game of Thrones actress, 27, claimed in an earlier filing that the familys home base was in the U.K. and revealed she and the Jonas Brothers singer, 34, had entered into a contract to buy a home in her native country.
According to Page Six, Jonas reportedly wrote in part, When my wife and I decided we were going to spend more time in the UK and search for a permanent home, our daughter expressed three unwavering requirements: having chickens, a pony and a Wendy house While many of the houses we viewed met this criteria, the moment we turned the corner and caught sight of the charming blue shutters adorning [redacted], we experienced a sense of magic unlike anything we had felt before.?
He also reportedly wrote to the owner: We can envision our children growing up here and making this our forever home,? and, ?I really think Sophie and I will be able to look after [redacted names] and for many years pay homage to the magic you have created here.?
However, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE of the house in England, They did not buy the house. The house is in escrow, the sale never closed. According to an earlier filing from Turner, they began looking for a house in the U.K. in Dec. 2022. The search continued through July 2023, when they entered into a contract to purchase a property, but the deal would not be completed until December 2023.
They have never been residents of the U.K., the source adds. Residency is a legal term and that is how the courts will define it. Residency includes things like where you have your driver?s license, where you vote, where your kids go to school, where you last lived as a family for a significant period of time (specifically 6 months).
In 2021, Turner and Jonas had purchased and completely redecorated a family residence in Miami. They listed it for sale in April 2023 and sold the property for $15 million in August. Referencing this property, the source continued, There is no place the family lived for 6 months or longer other than Florida. Intention, expressed in a letter or otherwise, does not equal residency. Actions do. And so while the letter was inserted in the motion in order to pique the attention of reporters, it won?t actually be material to determine legal residency.
[From People]
Yeah? Joe?s side is correct. While the letter shows that Joe, at one time, intended to buy a home in the UK, it?s not some smoking gun which proves that Joe and Sophie lived in the UK, had established residency in the UK or that this is a British family court issue. Like, it sort of feels like Sophie?s biggest issue with Joe is that he changed his mind about moving to the UK, or that he was never even sold completely on the move in the first place. This letter would be a smoking gun in a civil case if Sophie was suing him over a failed real estate deal, but in a divorce case, the letter isn?t that important?

Taylor Swift is re-releasing 1989, her pop-music album which, for my money, is probably her best and her most iconic. 1989 (Taylor?s Version) comes out on October 27. What?s sort of amazing is that she not only recreated the album, she?s actively recreating the vibe miniskirts, strutting around New York and girl squads. The update to the vibe is that Taylor has a new boyfriend, football player Travis Kelce.
Well, Taylor spent the whole weekend getting all kinds of headlines. Saturday night, Taylor was out with her New Girl Squad: Sophie Turner, Blake Lively and? Brittany Mahomes, wife of Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. They went out to dinner at Emilios Ballato in SoHo. Later that night, Travis snuck into Taylor?s apartment and he apparently spent the night ahead of his big game against the Jets.
Then last night, Taylor arrived at the Metlife Stadium (in New Jersey) with the Nu Squad: Sophie, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Robyn Lively, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and director Shawn Levy. They were in the VIP area with Travis?s mom Donna Kelce and Brittany Mahomes. This time, Taylor didn?t wear any Chiefs merch, which probably caused some NFL merch guy to weep. The Chiefs won and so did the television producers who kept cutting away to Taylor in the VIP area. After the game, Taylor then hit up Zero Bond with some of the squad.

| | Melania Trump recently & successfully renegotiated her postnup yet again | | Added 237 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

In 2017, Melania Trump flatly refused to move to Washington DC after her husband ?won? the election. She didn?t want to move into the White House, and she used the excuse of not wanting to remove Barron from his school in New York. We learned, later on, that Melania was actually holding off on the move until she successfully renegotiated her prenup/postnup. Once her husband signed off on more money for her and Barron, she finally agreed to move into the White House. Now, years later, Melania has once again used her leverage to renegotiate the postnup. That leverage? Her unhinged husband will likely be in prison within a year.
Sources tell Page Six that Melania Trump has ?quietly? renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with Donald Trump in advance of his potentially serving a second term in the White House. An insider told us of the agreement between the couple who married in 2005, ?Over the last year, Melania and her team have been quietly negotiating a new ?postnup? agreement between herself and Donald Trump.?
The source further said, ?This is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her martial agreement,? but the source added that it?s not because the former first lady is going anywhere. ?Melania is most concerned about maintaining and increasing a substantial trust for their son, Barron,? 17, the same source familiar with Melania, 53, told Page Six. The new agreement also provides for Melania, and spans money and property, according to the source.
A different source told us of the new agreement, ?I know that she wanted it to provide her with more money, and also ? from what I understand ? there?s a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.?
The first source said that the timing of the updated agreement wasn?t only because Trump, 77, could potentially serve another term, but because of his recent legal battles as well. Said the insider, ?This agreement was necessary because of the current legal battles? [Donald] has suffered? ? including potential payouts in New York Attorney General Letitia James? sprawling, $250 million civil case against Trump and his real estate business, as well as his order to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll for defaming her. Said our source, ?Trump remains very rich, but with mounting legal bills and judgements,? the renegotiated prenup would ?provide a more solid future? for Melania and their son should the couple split.
?It?s not that she threatened to leave him,? the source cautioned. ?It?s definitely the underlying idea.?
[From Page Six]
Personally, I don?t think Melania will leave at this point, especially not when she?s so close to becoming his widow. While Page Six doesn?t say this, I would also assume that some of these postnup clauses involve changes to his will to ensure that she and Barron get a huge chunk of everything. It also wouldn?t surprise me if Melania ends up with a huge amount of control if her husband goes to prison or he dies soon. Think about how Ivanka is in the wind, how Eric is basically too stupid to do anything and Don Jr has what looks like a raging drug problem. And Tiffany WHO? Who else is gonna be in charge? That?s the argument Melania?s lawyers are making.

| | Charlize Theron doesn't believe in applying perfume directly on the skin | | Added 239 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Pre-strike, Charlize Theron gave several interviews to promote her Dior contract. I don?t actually think it would have been in violation of strike promotional guidelines if she gave the interviews during the strike, but whatever, I just thought I?d mention that this InStyle piece was done months ago. Charlize has been the face of Diors Jadore perfume for nearly two decades, and now she?s the face of Dior?s latest fragrance, LOr de Jadore. Charlize chatted with InStyle about sense memory, how she applies perfume and the ?90s trend she hated the most. Some highlights:
The cloud mist? strategy for applying perfume: Her spritzing method allows her to enjoy all the facets of a scent without overwhelming her nose and ? most importantly ? her skin. I find direct [contact] on the skin becomes, for me, a little aggressive, and then I miss the subtle tones to it. Whereas when I do the cloud mist, I feel like I get more of the depth of field. I get a better sense of the other dimensions of the scent, especially since its constantly changing as your day goes by.
Sense memory from her childhood in South Africa. There was always something about rain hitting dust ? it creates this smell thats just so unique. I get very excited when I see rain because then I look for some dust, some dirt, and I try to recreate it. Ive never been able to. But that is a very nostalgic smell for me. When I go back and we have our rains in South Africa, its everywhere. You can smell it everywhere. Man, it just fills my soul. Im like, This is home.'
Fragrance mastermind Francis Kurkdjian created LOr: Hes infused classic Jadore notes of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang with orange blossom, lily of the valley, and violet for a rich floral scent thats warm and rounded ? perfect for a sweet fall scent. Its beautiful, says Theron. The floral tones are just so layered.
She doesn?t incorporate scent into character-building: I sometimes go as far as just eliminating even scent in my soap. Because I am very sensitive to smell, any kind of smell can just really take me out of it. So its become more about elimination than about adding.
Her beauty regret: Hands down, the thin eyebrows in the 90s. Im still recovering from that.
[From InStyle]
Unpopular opinion, but I think the bushy-eyebrow trend will come back to haunt people years from now, moreso than the thin eyebrows from the ?90s. While overplucking never looks good, neither does the big, dark, caterpillar-brow trend. As for applying perfume? I find it depends on the perfume. If I?m wearing something cheap (like a body spray) or I just want a light scent, I do the cloud mist thing too, and I walk into the perfume cloud. If I actually want to smell the perfume on my skin, I spray it directly on my throat and wrists.

Here are more photos from last night?s Albie Awards at the New York Public Library. The Clooney Foundation for Justice rents out the library to stage their awards, and George Clooney is so well-connected that he gets so many of his celebrity friends to come out for a good cause. Personally, I get too focused on ?I wonder how much it costs to rent out the NY Public Library and stage this event,? but I guess that?s not the point. The Clooneys have deep pockets and their friends have deep pockets. Anyhoodle, I just wanted to talk about fashion Donatella Versace attended the event and many women wore Versace, including Anne Hathaway. Anne?s harlequin-print dress was fresh off the latest Versace collection. Shall I say it? It?s not a good dress, although Anne does elevate a bad look.
The Blunt-Krasinskis arrived with the Barroso-Damons! Both ladies wore red. They?re all tight with George.
Julianna Margulies in what I?m pretty sure is Prada. The dress is really great, I just think it?s wrong on Julianna wrong color, wrong vibe, wrong hair.
Greta Gerwig?s look was one of my favorite dresses of the night.
Daniel Craig & Rachel Weisz! Daniel wore his glasses!
Sofia Vergara said PANTS.
I?m sorry but Scarlett Johansson looks awful here! The shiny suit combined with that really harsh hairstyle. Yikes.

From my very unofficial survey of Swifties, it seems like there is not a consensus about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?s portmanteau. Are they Traylor? Tayvis? TayTray? Swelce? You guys need to figure it out y?all insisted on Hiddleswift when, honestly, CB came up with ?Tiddles? and we held the Tiddles line here on this blog. I?m personally leaning more towards Traylor, but I?m sure the Snake Fam is clever enough to come up with something better than ?Taylor and that football guy.? Anyway, TMZ has been running all kinds of Traylor exclusives this week, including a photo taken inside of the Kansas City restaurant they went to following last Sunday?s game:

Former Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has had a turbulent past couple years. Early in 2022 she filed for divorce from Matthew Lawrence after three years of marriage, and hinted it was due to cheating on his part. A year later Matthew got together with Chilli Thomas and publicly declared that his life was ?in complete bloom.? Most harrowing of all was the court custody case over their baby, French bulldog Ysabella (Cheryl won in the end). Amid her divorce drama, Cheryl also left her professional home of DWTS in 2022 after 26 seasons, but she is now returning in a new capacity (I guess they?ve shaken off her calling them out for strike breaking). No stranger to podcasts ? she hosted Pretty Messed Up for two years ? Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans will see Cheryl interviewing past celebrity DWTS contestants for a glimpse behind the mirror ball. While hyping the show to Yahoo?s The Unwind series, Cheryl reflected on difficult transitions in life and dance:
She was scared to say yes to DWTS: ?I remember being asked to do Dancing With the Stars,? she says. ?I was also living in Harlem at the time with my dance partner/boyfriend, and I was very comfortable there. I was scared to say yes to the show. And it took a long time for me to actually say, ?OK, I?m going to try this.? There?s a difference of feeling like, ?No, I shouldn?t do this,? like following your intuition and [knowing] ?this is not a good idea? versus ?I?m scared to do it, but I know I should.??
Bodily intuition: ?For me, I know there?s always something that I feel in my body,? she explains. ?Specifically, when [something] is not a good choice or something fishy is happening, it feels like my heart just dropped down to my stomach, like I?m on a roller coaster ride. I can choose to listen to it or not. Every time I didn?t listen to it, my life became stagnant, my whole energy became stagnant.?
No change without awareness: ?You?ve got to step back from your own thoughts for a second and just observe.? And sometimes, when you do that, you may realize it?s time to create significant change ? in your relationship with yourself and with others. ?You are who you hang out with, you are who you?re raised by, you are your environment ? unless you consciously change it,? points out Burke. ?It?s like breaking a bad habit. There?s no mental health improvement without awareness.?
Her therapies have a mind-body balance: As she?s forged ahead into a whole new chapter of her life this year, Burke has prioritized her mental health by working with both a talk therapist and somatic therapist, who focuses on how emotions are felt in the body. She?s also tapping into the power of other mind-body practices, including transcendental meditation, which she says she has aimed to do twice daily since separating from Lawrence.
A pandemic in itself: ?Suffering [when it comes to] mental health is a pandemic in itself. No one wants to talk about it. In order to normalize it, we have to talk about it? I?m going to do this work forever. It?s never gonna stop, that?s the thing. I will always be healing, I will always be working on me. And at the end of the day, it?s because I?m stuck with me. You?re stuck with [yourself] for the rest of your life, and you better like yourself.?
[From Yahoo! Life]
?You?re stuck with [yourself] for the rest of your life, and you better like yourself.? Oof, that?s a biggie. When I was in my early twenties I found myself saying to a teacher that I thought it was in bad taste to like myself. He very kindly suggested that I might want to take a look at that. We humans are funny creatures. Most of us spend a great portion of our lives figuring out just how to be? ourselves. You?d think that would be the one area where you had an advantage, given that you?re the only you out there. But no. We struggle to unpack the influences, circumstances, and Beyonce albums that have affected us the most, and next sift through what?s helping us versus what we can shed. Then to compound things, we?ve upheld a centuries-old tradition of assigning shame to honest conversations about mental health and self esteem. Outside of a Pixar movie, no other animal on this planet tortures themselves this way. I?m with Cheryl, we have to talk about it. And I love how she?s gone full hippie with somatic therapy and transcendental meditation. On that note, I?ll leave you with the first line (spoken, not sung) of the stage show HAIR: ?Transcendental meditation on the ocean of reality is love.?

Remember when Drew Barrymore shot herself in the foot (and mouth) by announcing she was bringing back her show amid the writers strike, then during a taping her crew kicked out two people wearing WGA pins, then she posted a word-salad video on a Friday doubling down on her decision to return, only to give in (to common sense and decency) by Sunday and put her show on pause? Good times. All that happened in the span of one week. If I have whiplash from it, surely she does as well. Now that the WGA has reached a tentative agreement with AMPTP, Drew might have nausea as well ? she was only two weeks away from completely avoiding this epic PR disaster! Like other daytime talk shows, The Drew Barrymore Show could come back in mid to late October, pending finalization of the new deal. But Drew will forever have the stink of her (self-inflicted) saga attached to her reporting, as exemplified here by ET Online:
With the Writers Guild of America (WGA) having struck a tentative agreement to end its ongoing strike, The Drew Barrymore Show is eyeing a return to the airwaves.
ET has learned that The Drew Barrymore Show is looking to return in October.
Host Drew Barrymore faced intense backlash earlier this month after her announcement that her daytime talk show would return for season four amid the WGA strikes, but without WGA writers.
A week after that controversial announcement, Barrymore apologized publicly and announced that she was going to pause the return of the show amid the outcry.
?I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show?s premiere until the strike is over,? the host wrote as a caption next to a picture of the same message, which she shared on Sept. 17.
?I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today,? she continued. ?We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.?
In a statement to ET, a spokesperson from CBS Media Ventures, which produces The Drew Barrymore Show, read: ?We support Drew?s decision to pause the show?s return and understand how complex and difficult this process has been for her.?
However, on Sunday, the WGA struck a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to end the strike.
While the deal still has to be drafted and faces several votes by WGA officials and members, it?s expected by many that the deal will be ratified and finalized in the next few weeks. Until then, the strike is not officially over, but the WGA has suspended picketing efforts and protests.
[From ET Online]
So Celebitchy and Kaiser got into Drew on Monday?s podcast #159, and now I?m gonna wade in. (Also, please consider that your *spoiler alert* in case you?ve been waiting to listen.) On the Drew Barrymore spectrum, I probably self-identify as not a full-on hater, but I definitely find her relentlessly twee, loosey-goosey persona grating. Maybe I?m not giving her enough credit, maybe I?m taking her at her flower-child-like image too much. But to me the real people to be angry with now are her PR team and managers. Where were they?!! I hold them responsible for letting those Instagram videos see the light of day. For every one celebrity there should be ten wranglers to intervene and save the star from themselves. That?s basic celebrity math.
There is still a way for Drew to come back with the show and address everything that?s gone down. But it would have to be done in exactly the right way, like having the two audience members that were kicked out come on as guests, and having her union writers speak as well. And judging by what we?ve seen coming out of her camp on this issue? let?s just say they have not been nailing the tone. But maybe someday in the future we will forget this dark era for Drew.

There was a huge Dior runway show/event in Paris yesterday, and all of the Dior-associated people came out for it. I?m including photos of Jennier Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, a severe-looking Charlize Theron and my pick for prettiest princess, Beatrice Borromeo (married to Pierre Casiraghi).
So? um, thoughts about Jennifer Lawrence? J-Law has been a Dior brand ambassador for many, many years, as have Rob Pattinson and Charlize. Jen usually only comes to fashion week for the Dior show and nothing else. We haven?t seen much of her since June, when she promoted No Hard Feelings. At a few of those June premieres, we did talk about her changing/tweaked face. It seems to have gotten worse. I?m still sort of curious about what she?s done and why she was always such a natural beauty, but she seems to love that ?Real Housewife/Kardashian? look so much that she?s trying to emulate it. It?s like she?s surgically eliminated the uniqueness and character from her face.
Rob?s pants are ridiculous and I can?t believe Dior gave Charlize THAT outfit.
