Ben Affleck Checks Out Charlize Theron Despite Jennifer Garner Being At The Same Oscars Afterparty

Take a picture, it'll last longer!

Ben Affleck couldn't help but check out his ex Charlize Theron on the way out of the Vanity Fair Oscars after party on Sunday night, which is a pretty bold move considering his estranged wife Jennifer Garner was also in attendance! The South African stunner and the Boston hunk starred in Reindeer Games together, but rumor has it they also dated briefly during that time, so maybe he's wanting to rekindle the flame now that he's on the market again?

The A-list actor took some time out from Hollywood's biggest night to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and he pranked the late night host by bringing his faux-nemesis Matt Damon! "I just think it's gone on long enough. I think it's time to bury the hatchet," the Oscar winner joked about the pair's fake feud, which stems from the The Martian star getting too close to Jimmy's then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman. Too funny!

 

FINALLY! - Leonardo DiCaprio Wins First Oscar, For Best Actor In The Revenant

Finally! Leonardo DiCaprio, 41, has won his first Academy Award for his lead role in The Revenant after four previous nominations for acting and one for producing. It was Leo's night -- it was as if everyone, including him, was waiting for the "big reveal" that really wasn't a surprise at all. DiCaprio had his speech memorized and rehearsed and he didn't mispronounce "indigenous" this time. He preached "climate change is real" -- meanwhile, the actor frequently hops on private jets and rents yachts to impress the ladies and his friends :(

His director, Alejandro G. Inarritu, won for best director -- the second year in a row! Last year, the Mexican director won Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture for Birdman.

Also at the top of the heap tonight were Spotlight, taking Best Picture and Best Screenplay. The film was a love story to investigative journalists covering the abuse scandal of the Catholic church; it swept the Independent Spirit Awards yesterday. Mad Max: Fury Road won six prizes. Brie Larson won for Best Actress for her role in The Room, which most critics had predicted. Alicia Vikander won Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl, while her male counterpart was Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies.

Chris Rock's Oscars Opening Monologue Addresses Racism In Hollywood ... With A Good Dose Of Humor And Plenty Of Biting Sarcasm

Posted on Sun Feb 28th, 2016 6:19pm PDT       By X17 Staff

Chris Rock did it right! Balancing social commentary, a bit of finger wagging and lots of sarcastic humor, Rock walked a fine line and walked it perfectly in his opening monologue at tonight's Oscars ceremony.

After the nominations were announced and deemed #OscarsSoWhite, all of Hollywood (and the rest of the world) waiting to see what Rock would do. Would he ditch his hosting gig? Would he tow the line for the Academy? Or would he keep the job and use it as a forum to raise real issues, to start a real discussion and to, we hope, affect change? Fortunately, he did the latter.

No doubt, some jaws dropped, but he had to do it, right? Here are some highlights:

  • Rock said that in previous years, African-Americas didn’t protest the Oscars because they were “too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won Best Cinematographer. When your grandmother’s swinging from a tree, it’s really hard to care about Best Documentary Foreign — Short."

  • “Jada [Pinkett-Smith] boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties — I wasn’t invited!”

  • Why didn't he quit? “The last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart!”

  • "Her man Will was not nominated for Concussion. I get it. You get mad. It's not fair that Will was this good and didn't get nominated. You're right. It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!"

  • "Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White Peoples Choice Awards."

  • "This year, things are going to be a little different at the Oscars. This year in the In Memoriam package, it's just going to be black people who were shot by the cops on their way to the movies."

Chris summarized his message like this: "What I'm trying to say is, it's not about boycotting. We want opportunity. We want the black actors to get the same opportunities as white actors. That's it! Not just once." That's it!

The biggest night in film AND fashion has begun!

Hollywood's hottest are hitting the red carpet at the Oscars and showing off a myriad of styles, shapes and shades. Chrissy Teigen accessories her Marchesa lace number with a baby bump! Fellow celeb couple Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis were a stunning pair, Olivia going for a sexier look than usual, showing off some side boob and a bare back in Valentino Couture.

The Room's Brie Larson stunned in a cobalt blue Gucci gown, accessories with a rhinestone belt. Olivia Munn showed off her amazing figure in a bright red column dress, while Rooney Mara went Victorian goth in a beaded Givenchy column dress. Her hair was pulled tight into three mini-buns down the back of her head.

AP Images

Sofia Vergara showed off her assets, as usual. She did a typical, full-skirted down, which could have been better. The navy blue Marchesa is a bit boring, no?! On the flip side, Heidi Klum always mixes it up ... and looks a little mixed up in this asymmetrical Marchesa (again!). She looks like the bedspread I had on a canopy, four-poster bed when I was 12!

Jennifer Garner kept it chic in Versace but forgot her best accessory, Ben! While the two reunited last night for dinner out with the family, Jen decided to fly solo tonight for the Academy Awards. Saoirse Ronan went glam in a emerald green glittery Calvin Klein column gown and looked stunning!

Stay tuned ... much more to come!

Jessica Simpson hardly every hits up Hollywood parties, but she's been making the rounds recently!

The sexy mother-of-two attended a pre-Oscar party Saturday night in Beverly Hills, decked out in a super sexy little black dress with strappy heels and a cropped fur jacket. Hubby Eric Johnson held onto his wife's hand as they left the gallery where the event took place.

Jess looked so hot, we could only imagine what she and Eric were going to do when they got home, so our videographer's natural question for the couple, as they got into their waiting SUV was about them having more kids. You've gotta see how Jessica replied!

 

Keeping Up With the Kardashians: Weekend Edition

Posted on Sun Feb 28th, 2016 12:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff



Looks like Kylie Jenner and Tyga are definitely back ON!

The off-again-on-again couple spent Saturday night at a party with Scott. Oddly, they hid their faces from the cameras (hey, we know it's you, guys!) and kept their distance from each other. Tyga sported a Paul McCartney tee, supporting the aging Beatle after he was turned away at a post-Grammys party two weeks ago where Tyga was in attendance. The rapper had since come out in support of McCartney, saying he would have made sure Paul was granted access had he known security was blocking him.



Anywho ... the rest of the Kardashians kept busy this weekend, as well, Kourtney's been out and about with the kids -- shopping with mom Kris and taking the kids for an afternoon treat in Calabasas. Meanwhile, estranged baby daddy Scott Disick is up to his old tricks, partying with pals. We spotted him at The Nice Guy Friday night with his entourage and looking slightly worse for wear.



Khloe, the serious one, is keeping busy with Kocktails With Khloe tapings -- almost on the daily. Her guests in Saturday were so C-list we didn't even recognize them, but we DID recognizes those infamous curves on KhloKhlo as she left the studio in a sweatsuit and slides! It's been a while since we've seen her so dressed-down, but she always looks great!
