We caught up with new dad Ben Affleck at Cafe Luxxe in Brentwood Friday morning, where the actor and new dad was fueling up for a long day.
No doubt Ben's nights are somewhat sleepless with his newborn baby boy Samuel at home now. Mom Jennifer Garner gave birth Feb 27, so it'll be a while before she and been can expect to get much rest!

Lenny Kravitz is still HOT at 47 years old, as these new pics for
Interview magazine prove. The shirtless shots show the rocker in a domestic scene -- apparently cooking up a meal for himself (in what appears to be a low-rent apartment -- is if he lives in a place with a kitchen like that!). But no matter ... he looks hot!
The singer spoke to the mag about his role in the upcoming
Hunger Games, in which he plays Cinna, a stylist who dresses Jennifer Lawrence's character in her eccentric attire. Kravitz says of being offered the part by director Gary Ross:
"He said 'Hi, I’m making this movie called The Hunger Games. I think you’d be great. If you want it, you’ve got the part.' No audition. I was really flattered, but I had not read the book. So I downloaded it. I remember I started it late one night and I needed to go to bed—I was tired and had been recording all day and night—but I couldn’t stop reading because I was captured by the story. So I finished the book and called him back and said, “I’d love to do it.'"
He also addressed growing up bi-racial. Kravitz's father, Sy Kravitz, is of Russian Jewish descent and his mother, Roxie Roker, is African-American: "Well, it’s who I am. It’s how I grew up. It’s my parents’ story of being an interracial couple, and everything they went through. It’s also where we are today in America in terms of dealing with this whole racial issue."
He says being bi-racial affected his career in music:
"We’ve moved forward, and there’s an African-American gentleman in office, but now the people who don’t agree with that or don’t like it are showing how they feel. As much as we’ve moved forward, we’re also being pulled back. I’ve always had to deal with being biracial, even in music. When I came on the scene, I’d go to these record labels, and they’d say things like 'Lenny Kravitz. That’s a weird name.' You know, I’m brown-skinned and I’ve got these dreadlocks and I’ve got this Jewish last name. Then I come in with this rock ’n’ roll-oriented music, and it’s not black enough . . . I’ve always had to deal with this black-white thing."
Check out the singer/actor in
Hunger Games, when it hits theaters March 23.

Looks like Samantha Ronson has a new lady friend -- and if she's letting her drive the Porsche, it must be serious!
Lindsay Lohan’s ex-girlfriend was in great spirits as she escorted her new gal pal to dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills, on Thursday night,
The celebrity DJ has just released a new album, Chasing the Reds, and in a rare interview she opens up about a tumultuous relationship that left her feeling like a "hostage."
“When I first started making the record two years ago, my life was so public,†Ronson confessed. “I didn’t want to make a record where people would say, ‘This song is about that.’ But I think there’s also a way to keep things specific and private without losing a connection with the listener.â€
Later that night, Saman hopped a ride to Chateau Marmont with pal Joel Madden. Party On!

The busy parents of four recently celebrated eldest son Brooklyn's 13th birthday on March 3, and they pulled out all the stops for their son's special day by recruiting pal Usher to sing him Happy Birthday!
"Brooklyn had been getting calls from England all morning so just assumed it was another relative. When he picked up the phone, Usher sang 'Happy Birthday'. Brooklyn is crazy about Usher and has met him a few times. He went bright red and started to get really shy. He told his dad after that it was the best present ever," a source close to the family revealed.
But that wasn't all! Proud papa David also treated the birthday boy to an LA Lakers game, where they sat front row alongside Denzel Washington.

They Jonas Brothers are back!
As promised, the adorable boy band will soon be coming out with a new album, and they've officially hit the recording studio to make sweet music together again!
This week Kevin shared some special behind the scenes footage of his bros via Twitter, which featured the former Dsney stars recording a new track.
"We pay attention to it, definitely," Nick tells MTV of the upcoming album. "That's part of your job as an artist, too, is to be aware of what other people are doing. ... We pay attention and have been paying attention just to see where we want to fall. But first we just want to write great songs, and as far as how it sounds, that'll come second."
But Nick warned, "We don't know how long it's going to take us to write this record. It may take a couple weeks, it may take months, it could take years, but we're ready to go on that journey. It's been a while and there has been a lot of growth as individuals and musically as well. We've all gone on our journeys musically. It'll be interesting to see what comes of that."
We can't wait!

Dennis Quaid's wife Kimberly Buffington-Quaid has filed for divorce from the actor, after eight years of marriage, TMZ reports.
According to divorce documents filed by the soon-to-be ex Mrs. Quaid, "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities ... that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."
There is also a temporary custody order in place, so that both Dennis and Kimberly can split their time with their 4-year-old twins, who nearly died shortly after birth because the medial staff at Cedars-Sinai gave them an accidental overdose of the drug Heparin.
The temporary order also gives Kimberly possession of their main house and the Mercedes, while Quaid will get the Cadillac Escalade and a condo.
The temporary order says, "The parties shall cooperate with one another in using the Range Rover..." and the ex-couple are also ordered not to say anything "vulgar, profane, obscene or indecent" to each other.
Dennis and Kimberly tied the knot in 2004.
