He didn't waste any time!

Practically every major media outlet is reporting that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus split in late July, weeks before his first date with Playboy model Shauna Sexton at Nobu Malibu on August 16, but that's just not true!

We caught the SNL producer hugging Ben's sober mentor and Refuge Recovery founder Noah Levine at the actor's Pacific Palisades mansion on August 9, and apparently she called him over because things with the actor were going downhill and he was in a bad place.

A source with direct knowledge of the situation tells X17:

"Ben's sober coach made the house call because Ben was in a bad way. Lindsay got fed up with dealing with Ben's issues, and ultimately that's what led to the end of the relationship."

A lot of people would assume that Jen Garner is less than pleased that the father of her children is hooking up with a pinup girl, but she's actually just glad that Lindsay is out of the picture.

The same source tells us:

"Jen is thrilled that Ben and Lindsay are over. She would rather he be with anyone but Lindsay, since she was the mistress that broke up their marriage. Of course, she thinks it's childish and ridiculous that he's going after a Playboy model half his age, but she'll take it. Jen's worst fear was Ben popping the question to Lindsay and having another baby, so she's relieved she doesn't have to worry about that anymore."

Karma is real, people!

Ahh young love!

Miley Cyrus' little sister Noah and her boyfriend Lil Xan just released their song "Live or Die," and it's actually not that bad! "Hey babe we have a song out togethheerrrr now," she tweeted her rapper beau.

So how did these two originally get together?

"Xan slid into the DMs. It works people. Actually, it didn't work," she told E! News recently.

"He DMed me like in February and I didn't see it for months and then I saw that he was following me and I was like: 'Lil Xan, cool, he's following me. I'll follow him back,' And then I saw his DM and we're just hanging out making music," she added.

We wonder if her family approves of her romance with this bad boy?

absolute best friend.

They always say to marry your BFF!

Hailey Baldwin posted this adorable photo of herself and Justin Bieber cuddling with the caption "absolute best friend," and it's pretty obvious she's still on cloud nine from JB popping the question. Look at that rock!

The couple have slowed down wedding planning because they want to enjoy their engagement, but if it was up to the model, they'd tie the knot sooner rather than later!

"Hailey does not want to put any sort of pressure on Justin to rush this wedding, but it’s hard for her not to wish that they could just get married tomorrow. She feels the sooner she can get married to Justin the better, because she’s convinced that saying their vows and making a formal commitment will be the final push [to ensure that] Selena stays out of their lives forever," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

"Hailey lived through Justin going back and forth between her and Selena for so long, that it’s hard to get out of the habit of thinking about the ‘other woman.' Hailey feels like the stakes are high because Selena could always be quietly watching and waiting for things between Hailey and Justin to fall apart again. So the sooner Hailey can [get married], the more secure she’ll feel about their future together, without Selena," the source added.

We'll all have to wait and see if they actually make it down the aisle!

This is usually a sign things aren't going too well.

Ben Affleck's girlfriend Lindsay Shookus deleted her Instagram account right around the time he was spotted on a date with Playboy model Shauna Sexton, and rumor has it the pair broke up. We'd hope so! Either that, or he was blatantly cheating on her.

The A-list actor took the pinup on a romantic dinner date at Nobu Malibu, and then we spotted them going through the Jack-n-the-Box drive-thru yesterday. He didn't waste any time moving on!

The SNL producer must be devastated, as they both broke up their marriages to be together after a years long affair. Needless to say, Jen Garner wasn't fond of Lindsay, and it caused problems.

A source tells X17:

"Ben and Lindsay broke up because it was just too difficult. Her job and her daughter are both in NYC, so she couldn't move. Jen Garner didn't want Lindsay around the kids, too, so that forced Ben to have to choose. He was always going to choose his children over his girlfriend, and they just realized there was no easy way to be together. She's trying to keep her cool but she's heartbroken. She wanted more than anything to be Ben's wife."

Shauna, on the other hand, is thrilled that she's caught the Hollywood heartthrob's attention! When a commenter on her Instagram questioned whether she was "sent from heaven," she referenced her man's superhero role. "No just Batman," she wrote back.

Ben should let the sheets cool down for a while!

Not so fast!

Kylie Jenner doesn't respond to every rumor written about her, but she felt the need to speak out this time, after someone on Twitter claimed Travis Scott moved out and they had split.

"Remember how my dad is a mover, and moves all the Kardashian/Jennner‘s????? Well home boy spilled the tea and told me that TRAVIS SCOTT AND KYLIE SPLIT. He said they moved all of Travis‘ s—t out of her house….Kylie also gave my dad more tequila so it’s lit," the person wrote in the now-deleted tweet.

Someone brought it to the LipKit queen's attention, and that's when she shot it down.

"Obviously fake. S—t was never moved i never gave anyone tequila," she fired back.

The 21-year-old billionaire recently opened up about the couple's living situation in the newest issue of Vogue.

"I’m actually scrolling through Instagram right now, and it says that me and Travis don’t live together, and so I just want to say that we never miss a night with each other. We go back and forth from my Calabasas house and the city home that we actually got together. So just if you wanted to add that in," she told the mag.

In other Kylie/Travis news, Nicki Minaj is furious that Scott's new album Astroworld is #1 and hers is #2 on the Billboard 200 charts, and she thinks his super famous girlfriend is to blame for his success.

"Travis sold over 50K of these. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. I spoke to him. He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week. I love my fans for the #1 album in AMERICA! … 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries," she tweeted.

"I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope ass album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & [their daughter] Stormi. lol. Im actually laughing. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans," she continued.

Then she took aim at Spotify for also screwing her over!

"Spotify put drake’s face on every playlist but told me they’d have to teach me a lesson for playing my music 10 mins early on #QueenRadio. Even tho they’ve been giving away my music for free for years & I am one of the top Spotify artists of all time. Spotify had to teach me a lesson but rewarded the man who has had an Apple radio show the longest; inadvertently helping the Apple platform the most. … They took away my promotion they had promised for the 1st cpl days b/c of this," she fumed.

We hope they all have a showdown at the VMAs tonight!

My son my love until I will live @jimmymbennett marina del rey 05.2013

This whole story is crazy.

Asia Argento reportedly quietly paid off a sexual assault accuser just months after she herself accused Harvey Weinstein of rape during the #Me Too movement, the New York Times reports.

Her victim is a man named Jimmy Bennett, who played her son in the 2004 movie The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, and he was only 17-years-old at the time of the incident.

He claims she invited him to her hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Rey, gave him alcohol, performed oral sex on him, and then they had intercourse. She was 37-years-old at the time.

Bennett and his attorneys wanted $3.5 million in damages from intentional infliction of emotional distress, lost wages, assault and battery, but her attorneys managed to settle for $380K, which she paid in a series of installments.

Anthony Bourdain's girlfriend also won the copyright to an inappropriate picture of the two from that day, which shows them lying in bed topless after sex. Yikes! Bennett claims they had a "mother-son relationship" and that he felt taken advantage of.

Argento has yet to comment on the reports.

It's ON! Ben Affleck spent another evening with 22-year-old Playboy model Shauna Sexton, on Sunday -- taking her to his favorite place, the Jack In the Box drive-thru, for a romantic date!

After the new couple's Thursday debut at Nobu Malibu -- being careful not to be photographed together -- they're not all in, letting X17 photographers come right up to their car window to snap away, while Ben and Shauna smiled and laughed together inside the car.

So here's how it all went down ... Ben's ex Lindsay Shookus was so pissed off at Ben's blatant cheating, she dropped off his Bentley in a Santa Monica parking garage on Saturday and drove away with a friend. Yep, she left his $350,000 ride in a generic garage with the keys in it. So Sunday, Ben sent his assistant to go fetch it and bring baby home and now the Mulsanne is back in the driveway of his Pacific Palisades manse.

And parked right next to it yesterday was Shauna's electric blue $20,000 Acura TSX that she rolled up in around 4pm, wearing sexy Spandex workout gear. Ben had the genius idea to go to the drive-thru for an early burger dinner and Sexton went along for the ride. The couple headed out in Ben's Range Rover to the Santa Monica hot spot fast food joint. The returned home together (presumably Ben doesn't eat fries in his red-and-black interior'd Rover), dined by candlelight and Ms. Sexton decided to spend the night.

Monday, 6:30am, Lindsay's blue Acura is still in the driveway ...

Ben loves him some fast food! The actor seems to be going through a "phase" right now -- he's smoking again, going to drive-thrus every day, possibly cheating on his girlfriend with a Playboy model, and seemingly pissing off estranged wife Jennifer Garner, obvi!

So here's the dirt -- Ben's back in rehab and Jen's behest, as we know ... he's possibly cheated on possibly-pregnant girlfriend Lindsay Shookus with a Playboy model in front of ALL the paparazzi by having his "secret" rendezvous at Nobu Malibu, the most celeb-frequented, pap-infested restaurant in all of LA. So what gives? Well here's the EXCLUSIVE scoop ...

Our photographers spotted Lindsay Shookus, who's been in LA but hasn't been at Ben's house, as of late, driving Affleck's Bentley on Saturday. Okay, so why would she have Ben's car if they've broken up? Well, she had the car for only so long. Lindsay drove the super-expensive ride to a parking garage in Santa Monica and left it there! She never came back for it! She took off in a friend's car and left Ben's car in some random parking garage!!!

We don't have Sherlock Holmes on staff at X17, but we're pretty sure a move like that means there's been a breakup ... a nasty one!
