It ain't over 'til it's over! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are giving their marriage another try -- putting in the hard work it takes to get over infidelities and irresponsibility ...
Ben and Jen spent two hours together in couple's therapy, on Saturday, leaving the kids at home for the intense session. The estranged but together-all-the-time husband and wife emerged from their Santa Monica counselor's office looking serious and perhaps a bit emotionally bruised. No doubt, there's a lot of painful stuff for these two to work through.
But don't count these two out just yet. Despite the couple announcing their intention to divorce in June 2015, the filing never came -- from either side. Not too long after, Jen called Ben "the love of [her] life" and the two started slowly spending more and more time together until Ben eventually moved back into the couple's Pacific Palisades family home, albeit into the guest house.
Our photographer on the scene today tells us, "Even though they didn't look super happy when they emerged from counseling, they got in the car together and went home together. They always look happiest when they're with their kids so I'm sure they were headed back to spend time with them. Ben and Jen really seem like they want to make it work for their family."

They have their differences -- black/white, musician/former athlete, young/old, wealthy/not-so-much, Yeezys/SAS sandals -- but in-laws Kanye West and Caitlyn Jenner have Donald Trump in common.
As much as you might not think these two very different demographics could support the same presidential candidate (now president-elect), both Kanye and Caitlyn have thrown their support behind Trump.
Kanye announced at his Thursday-night San Jose Saint Pablo concert that he DIDN'T vote, but that if he had, he would have voted Trump. Caitlyn, as we've known for quite some time, is a die-hard Republican who thinks Hillary would have been bad for transgender rights and that Donald was her man.
Well, seems these two have one thing in common ... a low IQ!
Check out both of them avoiding questions about their political preference:

Matthew McConaughey has certainly rebounded from his dramatic 38-pound weight loss back in 2012 for his role in The Dallas Buyer's Club. The Texan heartthrob has a little extra skin these days but he's keeping himself in check with a hearty jog through Malibu.
Now, instead of playing a drug dealer, the actor is in talks to play the father of a drug dealer -- albeit, a different type of dealer than he played in Buyer's Club. This time, the role is in White Boy Rick, about Richard Wershe, Jr., who in the mid-1980s, at 14 years old, became an undercover informant for federal law enforcement by establishing himself as a drug dealer. At age 17, he was found with 17 pounds of cocaine and put in jail for life, but the ethical questions remain regarding law enforcement's responsibility for pushing the minor further into a life of drugs.
McConaughey would play Wershe's father, a blue-collar factory worker. Matt just finished shoring The Dark Tower.

Just because Angelina Jolie is going through a personal crisis of her own, doesn't mean she's stopped working for those less fortunate. The actress-humanitarian recently recorded a video message for the International Criminal Court in support of the Office the Prosecutor’s launch of their new policy on children.
In it, she says: "Successful prosecution and new legal benchmark, whether at the ICC or elsewhere is part of the long and vital generational effort. That is the light in which I believe the court’s new policy on children should be seen. II particularly welcome the commitment to include charges for crimes against children wherever the evidence permits as part of a more systematic approach. I congratulate the office of the chief prosecutor, and all those working on the policy."
The Special Envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee addressed senior representatives of the United Nations, whom called for a general mobilization against the atrocities committed against children. Meanwhile, her personal life is in an upheaval ... the mother-of-six is recently reached a custody agreement after estranged hubby Brad Pitt filed a response on November 4, requesting joint custody of the children following Jolie's petition for sole physical custody.
Seems Broadway-loving, Hamilton-supporting musical fans are NOT fans of Vice President-elect Mike Pence -- in fact, the audience damn near ran the politician out of the theater!
At Friday's show, the audience mostly booed the VP-elect as he walked to his seat, surrounded by secret service. Then, during the show's famous line, "immigrants, we get the job done," there were roaring cheers from the audience.
Then, at the show's conclusion, as Pence was walking out of the theater, Hamilton cast member Brandon Victor Dixon — who’s currently playing Aaron Burr — called out to him and pulled out a piece of paper and delivered the following remarks, as the cast linked arms behind him:
"Vice-president elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us at Hamilton: An American Musical. We really do. We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents — or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us. We truly thank you for sharing this show — this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men, women of different colors, creeds, and orientations."
Pence left the building. Seriously?! If he gives up that easily, it's gonna be tough road these next four years ...

Dunzo! Latin singing sensation (and J Lo's ex) Marc Anthony, has split from his wife Shannon De Lima after two years of marriage. "It just was not working and they didn't have enough in common," a source tells Us Weekly.
Anthony, 48, and De Lima, a 28-year-old Venezuelan model, married in the Dominican Republic in November 2014. They started dating in 2012, just months after Anthony separated from then-wife Jennifer Lopez, with whom he has 8-year-old twins.
In face, Lopez recently planted a smooch on her ex-hubby's lips after performing with him at the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas on Thursday. After singing their hit, "Olvidame y Pega la Vuelta," the crowd starting chanting "Beso!," so Lopez leaned into her baby daddy and kissed him. Just before, she honored her ex with a sweet tribute, as she awarded him the Person of the Year award: "Marc is a living legend. He is a magical and pure artist giving away classics that will stay forever. He will always be many things in my life."

Tyga is getting some bling for his bday!
On Thursday, the rapper, who appeared to be carrying a Goyard man purse, hit up a Calabasas jeweler, Polacheck's, with some pals two days ahead of his 27th birthday. We know the "Rack City" performer is broke -- so we have a feeling that Kylie Jenner is paying for the tab on his birthday bling.
After the shopping excursion, the soon-to-be 27-year-old went home and was greeted by Kylie and his son King Cairo with a surprise birthday party, complete with sexy cupcakes. If you look closely you will see the cupcakes have King's photo on them, a photo of Kylie and Tyga, as well as reality star's boobs and ass. Classy!
Despite the graphic baked good, the videos of King surprising his dad are actually pretty damn cute -- and the whole crew seems really excited to wish the rapper a birthday. So that's sweet too.
What's not so cute is that in one of the Snap videos, Tyga laps up some of the frosting on the butt cupcake and says, “Gotta make it more real, gotta flatten it a little bit." Wow! Way to diss Kylie's curves. We guess if you're used to Blac Chyna's juicy booty -- Kylie's butt seems small, but that's still super harsh!

People are pissed!
Bella Hadid is the star of the new Nike campaign, and fans are outraged not only by the fact she's not an actual athlete, but also because she's so damn skinny! The model is clearly proud of the gig, as she posed for a photo below her New York billboard and posted it on Instagram.
"Nike? She's not an athlete but more importantly it's giving young girls unrealistic expectations yet again. Why not use @theashleygraham come on now @NIKE have some sense," one user wrote. "Yeh this is why young girls get eating disorders, when being abnormally thin is glorified. Well done," another user sniped.
Olympic figure skater Meryl Davis dared to publicly criticize the Victoria's Secret stunner and pal Kylie Jenner for their gigs with athletic wear companies, and Yolanda Hadid was quick to come to her daughter's defense. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star noted that her 20-year-old almost went to the Olympics for equestrian before being diagnosed with Lyme disease.
We can see both sides of the argument, but there are bigger problems going on in this world people should be focusing on!
