Done! Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus have split for a second time, according to reports. The couple had only recently reunited -- we photographed them together on a romantic dinner date March 24, so just two weeks ago!
Previously, Ben and Saturday Night Live producer had dated for about a year before Ben started dating Playboy model Lindsay Shookus in August of last year which happened just before Garner staged an intervention and took Ben to rehab.
So why the second split? A source tells Us Weekly, "She has a kid and an ex-husband and a job in New York and Ben has his family and a job in L.A., and while they love and respect each other, they just realized it wasn’t going to work."
A source tells People magazine: "She has a kid and an ex-husband and a job in New York and Ben has his family and a job in L.A. and while they love and respect each other they just realized it wasn’t going to work. They really gave it another solid try." Hmmm ... that sounds familiar. Does Lindsay have these reporters on speed-dial?!
We wonder if it wasn't Ben's family trip with his ex-wife that triggered the breakup. The family went on a spring break vacay together and returned last week via private jet. Ben and Jen appeared to be getting along famously and even sad to go their separate ways after the trip. And in fact, we haven't seen Jen with supposed boyfriend Jon Miller as of late. Wouldn't it be CRAZY if Ben and Jen -- after only recently finalizing their divorce which was originally filed ages ago -- actually decided to get back together?!

Wow, it's been a looooong road and taken her a long time to get her, but Wendy Williams has finally filed for divorce from her husband of 21 years Kevin Hunter.
After Hunter supposedly fathered a lovechild with his mistress Sharina Hudson last month, that sent Wendy into a downward spiral that saw her back in rehab and living in a sober house after falling off the wagon from her decades-long sobriety. Williams announced her treatment on her day-time talk show, telling fans she was working on getting healthy again.
But she was again hospitalized last week after being found passed-out drunk, so clearly her issues aren't fully in check and clearly her strained relationship with her new estranged husband has been the cause of her distress. Wendy, 54, and the TV producer, 46, tied the knot in November 1997 and share an 18-year-old son Kevin, Jr. together.
The couple's marriage has been plagued by reports of Hunter's cheating but when asked earlier this month about the possibility of divorce, Wendy shut it down: "I’m still very much in love with my husband. Anybody who has been married for five minutes or 500 years, you know marriages have ebbs and flows. … And don’t ask me about mine until you see [my wedding ring] gone — it ain’t going anywhere, not in this lifetime."

This looks like a classic case of wake and bake to us!
Paris Jackson and boyfriend Gabriel Glenn enjoyed a walk and some weed early Wednesday as the two were decked out in their neo-hippie finest. Of course it really wasn't that early, but we imagine they woke up at noon and realized the dogs needed to go out so they threw on some ponchos over their pajamas and headed out!
Glenn sported some awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pants, while Paris wore her usual blue hippie hoodie and some beads. Gabriel appears to be holding a joint in his left hand and hey, it's legal here, people!
We spotted Paris stocking up on supplies at her local smoke shop the other day and she's always honest about her love for the herb, so we're not exactly surprised.
Jackson looked tired ... or shall we say "calm," as she walked her pup carrying an Off-White lanyard chain converted into a leash. How fashion-forward of her! Check out all the pix in our gallery below!

Kourtney Kardashian was feeling shy Wednesday as she took son Mason to his weekly music lesson.
The reality star hid behind the arm of her bi-color coat (um, it was 90 degrees yesterday, sista). Mason didn't look so timid -- he stared at the cameras with a confident look, sporting his camouflage Yeezy shirt and his usual gold chain.
It was recently teased that the nine-year-old will be the first Kardashian kid to participate in a Keeping Up With the Kardashians on-camera confessional this season. The episode will air this Sunday and Kim Kardashian calls it "so funny and heart warming." She says instead of a show producer asking questions of Mason, it's Khloe behind the camera.
We can't wait to see it! This kid seems like a total baller with oodles of confidence and what we suspect is a sly sense of humor ...
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner was feeling a little shy yesterday, too -- but we spotted her in her toasted marshmallow-colored Mercedes G-Wagon, flexing ...
She's such a mush! Khloe Kardashian is having "anxiety" over her daughter True's first birthday tomorrow and there just might be reasons other than the first her daughter's turning one ...
Of course True's birthday is also the anniversary of baby daddy Tristan Thompson cheating on his pregnant wife just two days before True's birth ... I mean, seriously -- talk about the good and the bad all at once!
She also posted a pic of her and her daughter sitting in the yard playing together and an ADORABLE video of True talking to herself in the mirror :(below). Clearly it's an emotional time for any mom when their baby turns a year old, but for Khloe's it's particularly bittersweet since Tristan was caught cheating yet again, with Kylie Jenner's BFF Jordyn Woods just two months ago. That "broke up the family," as Khloe announced -- though let's be honest ... that relationship was doomed, literally, from the beginning. So Khloe celebrates her daughter's birthday now as a single mom, which is what she was destined to be since the day Tristan put a baby in her sonogram.
Still, Khloe's tough as nails, so she'll be just fine, particularly with this beauty by her side!

Magic Johnson has QUIT the Lakers, as you may have heard -- he stepped down as President of Basketball Operations, on Tuesday, being a bit cryptic as to his reasons.
Well his wife Cookie, last night at Craig's with the couple's son EJ, told paparazzi, "Just know that [Magic Johnson] is happy and we're happy for him. No regrets."
What's crazy is that Johnson didn't even tell team owner Jeannie Buss! He didn't have the guts!
This is truly incredible. Magic Johnson didn't have the guts to tell Jeanie Buss he was stepping down as #Lakers president of basketball ops. She found out when everyone else did. pic.twitter.com/GOKhXspO5K
Earvin, I loved working side by side with you. You’ve brought us a long way. We will continue the journey. We love you 💜💛 https://t.co/ofmQl6BtBz
Most likely, Johnson was tired of working with a losing team -- one that paid star player LeBron $153M for four years. Buss forked out the money to make the team the best of the best and it wasn't happening under these two guys. She's being pretty gracious -- she could be pissed!

They aren't your usual royals! Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced their tradition-breaking birth plans for their soon-to-be royal baby. The couple announced in a statement Thursday they won't be posing on the steps of the hospital with their newborn as Kate Middleton has done with her three children. They want alone-time with their bundle of joy before sharing him or her with the world.
They WILL let the world see their baby when they do a small photo op with one reporter, one photographer and one TV camera within days of the birth, Windsor Castle announced.
The statement reads: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby. Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private. The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family."
It has not been announced where Meghan will give birth, though it's unlikely she'll go to St. Mary's where Kate gave birth -- that hospital is 25 miles from the couple's new home of Frogmore Cottage. It's likely Meghan will go to one of the closer country hospitals.
Whatever the case, Royal watchers will be eagerly awaiting the birth of the newest Royal baby!
