An all-points bulletin has been issued to Las Vegas’ biggest casinos which accuses superstar Ben Affleck of counting cards, reports Radar.

According to an alert from a local security firm, the Academy Award winner was barred from play at the Hard Rock Casino shortly after 10 p.m. on April 28, “due to moving his money with the count."

There were rumors in the past that Affleck had some gambling problems -- but we thought that he conquered that issue. Unfortunately, it sounds like the husband and father of three is still messing around with lady luck.

Radar is also reporting that the alert claims that Affleck “uses perfect basic,” which is a term for introductory card counting, “but also takes insurance according to the count. Uses black $100 cheques to keep track of the count while playing.”

On April 29th another alert regarding Affleck was issued to all the major casinos in Vegas, explaining that the Argo actor was, “currently suspected of advantage play."

According to the alleged document, “He has been observed playing blackjack at multiple Las Vegas Strip properties, and is suspected of moving his wagers with the count. He was reportedly backed off at one off-Strip casino,” which is in reference to the previously mentioned incident at the Hard Rock Casino.

It looks like troubling has been brewing in this area for a while. An April 22, Rob Olivetti, Games Protection Manager at the Wynn and Encore casinos, allegedly sent an internal email that said, “Ben Affleck (the actor) … Was informed that he was being way too obvious moving his money with the count. He was spreading $100 -10K on the double decks and $0-20K (2@10K) on the shoe games. As of now, he is still being allowed to play per casino management.” Apparently Affleck isn't quite the smooth operator he thought he was, because a week later the all-points bulletin barring him from play was put into action.

Uh ... none of this sounds good to us! Clearly, Benji never saw Rain Man!

 

Robin Thicke Can't Stop Giggling Amid Recent Threesome Scandal

Posted on Fri May 2nd, 2014 2:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff



A pesky threesome rumor and can't get Robin Thicke down! He's never looked happier!

Yesterday news broke that the reason behind Thicke's split with wife Paula Patton was because he was having a secret affair with the woman they were carrying on a consensual threesome relationship with. But despite the shocking reveal and Los Angeles' 90 degree weather -- the "Blurred Lines" singer appeared cool and calm (and oddly really giggly) in his leather jacket earlier today when he touched down at LAX. We guess if the whole world found out that we'd been giving it to two women on the reg -- we'd be pretty giggly too!

On Thursday, Star magazine reported that the duo had been involved with the massage therapist, whom the publication referred to as "Jasmine," for two years. Patton was all fine and dandy with the menage-a-trois until she found out that Thicke and Jasmine had been carrying on their romance without her.

"Paula felt betrayed and humiliated by both Robin and Jasmine," said an insider. "These were two people she thought she could trust the most, but in the end everything backfired on her."

The 37-year-old's smile says one thing about his demeanor -- but maybe the all-black look is more telling of his current state of mind?!

We'd recognize those eyelashes and brows anywhere!

Kim Kardashian arrived at an office building in Beverly Hills on Friday, and it looks like the reality starlet may have been there to sign her marriage license with fiance Kanye West! Well, if he's recovered from his bachelor party last night, that is...

As it was previously reported, Kim and Kanye will become legally married this week ahead of their May 24 wedding in France. If they want their marriage (her third, his first) to be recognized when they come home to California at the end of the month, they have to get this taken care of now.

On Thursday evening Kris Jenner met with Kim's wedding planner, and on Tuesday Kim jetted to Paris for a wedding dress fitting at Balmain. 22 more days until the big date...

Kerry Washington has secretly given birth! The Scandal star and husband Nnamdi Asomugha welcomed a baby girl on April 21, reports TMZ.

While her rep has remained mum on the new mom, saying she does not comment on her client's personal matters, a source close to the star confirmed the baby news. "Kerry recently had her baby," the source said.

The low-profile started their under-the-radar romance during the summer of 2012. The duo were married in a quiet ceremony in Hailey, Idaho in June 2013. News broke that 36-year-old actress and the former NFL player were expecting in late October. However, it wasn't until the 2014 Golden Globes in January when she first showed off her growing baby bump.

The third season of Scandal was cut back from 22 episodes to 18 episodes so that the actress could focus on her new role as a mother.

We love us some Katie Cassidy!

On Thursday the 27-year-old actress hit the beach in Miami, and she showed off her amazing body in a printed bikini. From the smile on her face to the drink in her hand, it looks like she's having a blast in the MIA!

Katie and two girlfriends jetted to Florida on Monday, and last month she told E! News that this trip was long overdue. "I haven't had a vacation in far too long," she said. "My girlfriends and I are going to Miami once I've wrapped season two of Arrow."

We're jealous!

 

Nearly Naked Miley Cyrus Dances And Smears Grease All Over Her Body

She's just being Miley!

If you've been to a Bangerz show, you might have seen this video playing before Miley Cyrus took the stage, but seeing as she cancelled a bunch of her concerts last month, the odds are pretty good that you haven't gotten a peek this bizarre clip. We certainly hadn't!

After postponing a handful of her U.S. tour dates, Miley has now been forced to cancel her upcoming concerts in Amsterdam and Belgium as she has "had a health setback and her allergic reaction issues have returned." Boo!

We may not be seeing her in the flesh for a while, but thankfully this two-minute video (shot by multi-media artist Quentin Jones) hit the web today, and from the bondage tape on her nipples to black grease she smears all herself, this is uhh, well. Just watch.

 

Spider-Man Picks Out A Not-So-Amazing Outfit

New York Andrew Garfield Spider-Man bald

We love Andrew Garfield, but we definitely prefer him with hair ... and without this horrible tie-dye tee!

On Thursday afternoon the 30-year-old star was snapped in the Big Apple, and with this buzz cut and bad fashion he looks like a clueless college freshman! But apparently he's been wanting to get rid of his hair for a while, and he told People back in 2012 that while he "crave(s) pajamas and a shaved head.” More power to him!

Something else he craves is lady love Emma Stone, with whom he's been linked since 2011. On Monday Andrew went on Good Morning America and said, “She’s a full genius, or she has found her genius and she’s doing it so beautifully. I think everyone who works with her, everyone who brushes shoulders with her or even makes eye contact with her gets a shot of sunshine.”

Emma appeared on GMA on Tuesday and added, “It’s like a dream to work with him. He’s obviously one of the greatest actors I think we have alive today, and he’s also just a remarkable human being, so I love him very much.”

Aww, we're totally melting!

Eva Longoria Pepe Miami Jose Antonia Baston

She's got the look of love!

Eva Longoria and her millionaire boyfriend, Jose Antonio Baston, are still going strong after six months of dating. The couple was hand-in-hand after dining at Salt and Pepper in Miami on Thursday night. And the former Desperate Housewives star is positively beaming!

Smiling wide, the petite star wore a crisp white shirt and pink pencil skirt. She matched the look with a pair of white sandals, accentuating her slim pins. Meanwhile, Jose opted for a red Polo top, chinos and flip flops. With their red and pink ensembles, they kind of look like they are going to a Valentine's Day dinner!

The duo made their first public appearance appearance back in November, when they attended the Museo Jumex Opening dinner in Mexico City together.

The 39-year-old recently talked to Ellen DeGeneres about her well-dressed South American media baron bf, who apparently has an eye for fashion. Longoria admitted, "I always have to step it up. It’s exhausting."
