Ben and Jen are back together! If these photos of the couple and their kids out to dinner last night are any indication, we're guessing Jennifer Garner's a hot second from calling off the divorce she filed for last year after hubby Ben Affleck was caught cheating with the family's nanny. Painful, yes; but a reason to break up her beautiful family? Maybe not ...

Jen's interview in the new edition of Vanity Fair is the first step of a massive PR push by the actress' team to have her drop the divorce and officially reunite with her husband, we'd say. She calls Ben "the love of her life" and says, "He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous."

Awww! Sounds like a girl who wants her man back!

So Saturday night, the family reunited for Samuel's birthday at Santa Monica restaurant Art's Table. The group had celebrated earlier in the day, as well, with a star-studded birthday party attended by Matt Damon and his kids and another neighborhood pal, Reese Witherspoon and her son Tennessee.

Dinner last night was a calm, casual family affair and everyone looked relaxed and happy, according to our photographer: "Ben was smiling the entire time. It's almost like that Vanity Fair quote was in his head and he was super happy about Jen redeeming him. He was beaming -- just looking at her, in love, the whole night."

Hey, no family's perfect, but maybe this one's back on track to being one big happy family!

Move over, Oscars -- the Independent Spirit Awards are the real deal! And it's not just about diversity, it's about a panel of voters, voting for films that break ground, take risks and make a difference. It's not about big budgets and A-list actors, it's about art. The Oscars have long since forgotten about these qualities and it seems more about politicking and campaigning than it does honoring great film.

Alas ... this year's Independent Spirit Awards saw Spotlight -- about the Boston Globe's investigation into the Catholic church's abuse scandal -- take seven prizes; 14-year-old Abaraham Attah win best actor and his co-star Idris Elba win for their roles in Beasts of No Nation; Brie Larson and Room winning in several categories; and transgender actress Mya Taylor of Tangerine winning. A diverse group, indeed.

Jennifer Garner is breaking her silence!

The 43-year-old actress opened up on her relationship with ex Ben Affleck, as well as his alleged affair with their children's nanny, Christine Ouzounian, to Vanity Fair.

Garner said, "Let me just tell you something. We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation."

Garner admitted that "nannygate" was rough on her three kids. She elaborated, "Bad judgment? Yes. It's not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives. I have had to have conversations [with my children] about the meaning of 'scandal.'"

Despite splitting in 2015, the actress insists she was in a "real marriage" with Affleck, saying, "I didn't marry a movie star; I married him. And I would go back and remake that decision. I ran down the beach to him, and I would again."

Garner continued, "You can't have these three babies and so much of what we had. He's the love of my life. What am I going to say about that? He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous."

The super mom also admitted that her ex is a "complicated guy" and that, "When his sun shines on you, you feel it. But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He can cast quite a shadow."

Hopefully now that Garner is out of the relationship -- she's stepping into the light.

Time to silence the haters!

Kim Kardashian has finally broken her silence about Kanye West's recent Twitter rants, and she's making it very clear she stands by her husband! The reality star dedicated a new blog post titled "Currently" to her rapper beau, and listed that she's "loving" him among her many emotions.

"My husband. hating "that people don't get that Kanye will stand up against the whole world for his creativity and art," wearing "Yeezy Season 3 samples I took from the show," wanting "everyone to be as honest as Kanye," watching "Kanye shoot his new video" and reading "Kanye's tweets," she professed. She added a kimoji of her manicured middle finger to the end of her post.

We guess Kimmy K doesn't mind the father of her children talking about having sex with Taylor Swift, begging for money from billionaires, and going ham on basically everyone and everything!

Sacha Baron Cohen loves to mess with people -- and that's why we love him!

On Thursday night, the funnyman arrived at LAX yesterday while in character to promote his upcoming action comedy, The Brothers Grimsby. For the flight, Cohen was dressed like his character in his upcoming film, The Brothers Grimsby. His attire consisted of short jeans, socks, sandals and a football jersey -- and really had us laughing. The mercurial actor kept in character while taking pics with fans and other photogs.

According to IMDB, The Brothers Grimsby is about two brothers who get separated as children, one of them becomes a top spy (Mark Strong), while the other becomes a football fan with a family (Cohen). Eventually the two team up for a new assignment.

Earlier this week, Cohen went on the WTF! podcast with Marc Maron and some interesting things to say while promoting the new movie.

Cohen, who is married to actress Isla Fisher, said, "I'm 23 percent gay. We worked it out did the calculations. I'm 23 percent gay. There are times I go down to 17 sometimes I'm 31 depends on the situation. When I was doing Borat and I had the testicles at my chin I was at 31."

Glad he's done the math on that one!

The Brothers Grimsby lands in theaters on March 10.

Here comes the bride!

Caitlyn Jenner tries on wedding dresses in the new teaser for season two of I Am Cait, and it seems like she's warming up to the idea of romance. "I'm slowly coming into my womanhood, but it's a work in progress," she is overheard explaining in the clip.

Other glimpses into the plot lines include the transgender reality star getting her driver's license, arguing with her other trans friends about the best way to represent the community, and meeting Hillary Clinton!

We much prefer to keep up with the Kardashians, but we'll probably watch this too!

Looks like he snagged a new hottie, at least for the night!

Justin Bieber made his best effort to sneak out of the The Nice Guy last night with a hot Hailey Baldwin look-a-like, and it's obvious he was trying to keep his new hookup on the down low. Who is this chick? It seems like he hits up this club every night just to find a new girl to bring back to his hotel.

JB has been open about not wanting to be tied down, but he's breaking more than a few hearts in the process. His dad Jeremy, however, has no problem committing! The pop star's father just popped the question to his 28-year-old girlfriend Chelsea, so The Biebs is getting a new stepmom!

There wasn't a dry eye in the house!

While singing her song "Piece by Piece" on American Idol on Thursday night, Kelly Clarkson, who is nine months pregnant, broke down several times as she sang the ballad about her dad abandoning her as a child. The pregnant mother couldn't help but get emotional as she crooned about being the parent her father never was and meeting a man who would never leave their child.

American Idol's first winner had to stop several times during the emotional performance. Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, the contestants and the rest of the audience all had tears streaming down their faces during the song.

The songstress stopped by the Idol set to celebrate the show's last season. Despite attempting to distance herself from the hit show -- Kelly has a lot to thank the FOX show for. She won the first season of Idol in 2002, and got the million-dollar prize of an RCA record contract. She had a No. 1 hit on the Billboard charts with her first single, "A Moment Like This." Her second album Breakaway was a huge success, earning two Grammy Awards.
