He's got one more bad habit left to kick!
Ben Affleck was out and about in Brentwood yesterday when he got the craving for a cigarette, so the actor stepped out of his ride to light up. We wonder if Jen Garner has a rule against smoking in the car?
In other news, a teaser for the Hollywood hunk's new movie Justice League was released today, with the full one coming Saturday, and it looks like it's going to burn up the box office. The A-lister recently explained how the flick is slightly different from its predecessors.
"It’s a little bit lighter, the characters are a little bit more comfortable in themselves, so they can express a wider array of emotions. And there are just more people in it, so it’s more fun. It’s all of these different characters bumping up against each other and the team dynamic offers a lot of dramatic possibility," he told Cineplex.
C'mon Ben, you've kicked the booze, now kick the butts!

She's always one step ahead when it comes to trends, and apparently that includes kinky sex!
Gwyneth Paltrow published her annual Sex Issue for Goop on Thursday, and there's a very lengthy portion of the newsletter dedicated to anal sex. Yes, you read that right... the actress isn't afraid to get freaky!
Psychoanalyst and author Paul Joannides aided a Q&A discussion on the topic, and we have a feeling more than a few Brentwood moms got some bright ideas.
"If anal turns you on, you are definitely not alone. First it was shocking, then it was having a cultural moment, now it’s practically standard in the modern bedroom repertoire — or so a quick scan of any media, from porn to HBO, will tell you,†the article says.
"Understand that the way you see anal sex portrayed in porn is about as real as how they drive cars in the The Fast and the Furious. [They don’t] show communication, feedback, or trust. Couples who do not have excellent sexual communication, who don’t freely give and receive feedback about what feels good and what doesn’t, and who don’t have a high level of trust should not be having anal sex," Joannides cautions.
So what happens if you want to give it a whirl?
"Both of you should read all you can about it first. Spend a few weeks helping the receiving partner…relax. Make sure you and your partner have great sexual communication, trust, and that you both want to do it, as opposed to one trying to pressure the other, or not wanting to do it but doing it because you are afraid your partner will find someone else who will. Do not do it drunk or stoned… If it doesn’t feel good when it’s happening, stop," he explains.
We're starting to get a better understanding of how Gwyneth bagged all those Hollywood hunks back in the day!

It was a night packed with reality stars, apparently!
Lisa Rinna and her daughters Delilah and Amelia, EJ Johnson, and more came out for the D&G party in Beverly Hills last night, and we're slightly shocked there weren't more Housewives or Rich Kids in the mix!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star seems pretty determined to make her girls the next Gigi and Bella Hadid. Perhaps she could ask Yolanda for some advice, if she hadn't burnt her bridges with the Dutch beauty last season. The former TV star seems desperate to stay in the limelight, which is probably why she was such a pot stirrer on this season of her Bravo show.
It all gets thrown back in her face on the upcoming reunion though, according to Andy Cohen.
"Flashbacks are not Lisa Rinna's friend this season, unfortunately. But you know, when you are a celebrity that speaks to an audience, you may not be able to avoid situations in which what you said could come back to haunt you," he explained in a recent interview.

Even famous people need guidance!
Kim and Kanye, along with Kendall, headed to USC today for motivational speaker Tony Robbins' "Unleash The Power Within" all-day seminar, and the topic for this afternoon is "Turning Fear Into Power." Perhaps Kimmy K is taking notes so she can get over her traumatic Paris robbery?
"Imagine that fear was no longer a factor in your life. What would you do, change, or accomplish? People who achieve their ultimate visions share one fundamental power: transforming fear into a catalyst for action. Learn the secret to real results that Tony’s used to transform millions of lives. Overcome the unconscious fears that are holding you back. Storm across a bed of hot coals. Once you start doing what you thought was impossible, you’ll conquer the other fires of your life with ease," Robbins' website explains.
The reality star and her rapper hubby have had their fair share of difficult events in recent months, and although they strained their marriage, the couple managed to make it out on the other side.
"They dealt with individual issues that affected the family dynamic. In the end, it seems it has made them both stronger. [Kimye] is much more low-key and not in the spotlight like before. They both feel like they are better people and that it has changed their family for the better. They don’t have any desire to go back to how things were," a source recently dished to People.
It would do this whole family some good to get over their fear of losing the spotlight!

So gorg!
Kesha arrived at LAX to catch a flight out of town with her boyfriend yesterday, and the singer looked stunning in a minidress and heels. We love how happy and confident she seems these days!
The blonde beauty recently discussed finding inner peace following years of struggles with an eating disorder, and it sounds like tuning out Internet critics was a large part of that.
“I was making trolls and I was making bullies — I was making people who I'd never met before, who projected their insecurities onto me, onto the internet — I was making them the truth. You're making people you don't know your higher power," she said during a panel during SXSW.
"It's really empowering to stop pretending to be powerful and actually just sit in my power of imperfection and emotional insecure, humanness. Because that's the truth. Any time there's truth, that's when you really have the power," she added.

Oops she did it... on video!
A Britney Spears sex tape has surfaced, and the pop princess is freaking out, Radar reports. The clip apparently shows the "Toxic" songstress topless gyrating on top of a secret lover while smoking what looks to be a joint, according to the outlet which claims to have seen the footage.
"She’s totally mortified and not coping well at all. Every time she thinks she’s finally put the past to bed, something comes back to haunt her ! A seedy sex tape is more than she can handle right now!†a source dished to the site.

Just get off it already, then!
Selena Gomez is the most followed person on Instagram, but she has a love-hate relationship with the social media site. In fact, she says negative comments left by Internet trolls affect her mood and self esteem.
"You fixate on the [negative] ones. They’re not like, 'You’re ugly.' It’s like they want to cut to your soul. Imagine all the insecurities that you already feel about yourself and having someone write a paragraph pointing out every little thing - even if it’s just physical," she told the New York Times.
The "Come & Get It" songstress struggles to break free from her squeaky clean Disney image, but she's not having a very easy time with that.
"I could do any tomboy/teen princess movie in the world if I wanted to. I could do those for years. But I want to be a part of projects that have value, that really matter. And it's really hard to do that. To be honest, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon for me. I think I look really young and image-wise, it's difficult for people to grasp," she explained.

Time for a wardrobe update!
George Clooney is like the male version of Jennifer Aniston, because they both seem to be trapped in 2001 in the fashion department. Get this guy some fitted denim stat! His jeans remind us just how old he is, but he has a youthful spirit, which is good because he's going to be a first time dad in just a few short months!
In the cutest story we've ever heard, the A-list actor caught wind that he had an 87-year-old super fan who wanted to meet him for her birthday, so he went to the nursing home just down the road from his place in England and surprised her with flowers and a 15 minute visit.
This makes us love him!
What's it like to get George Clooney for your 87th birthday?
