OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are “die-hard committed to co-parenting.”
The 44-year-old actress, who split from the Oscar-winning director in 2015 after 10 years of marriage, is gearing up to file for divorce, but they plan to continue to stay close friends for the sake of their three children, Violet, 11, Seraphina, eight and Samuel, four.
A source close to the former couple said: “They have maintained such a strong and beautiful united front to stay lovely and classy towards each other for their kids. They spend so much time working on their relationship — whether it’s a friendship or anything — for their kids.”
The pair are frequently spotted together sparking rumours they were trying to repair their relationship, but “not one thing has changed” since they announced their separation even though they still have “so much love and respect for one another.”
The insider also told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Their friendship is there. They are so die-hard committed to co-parenting. Whatever form this relationship is, they’ll always have love for each other, and the love they have for their kids is so strong, they won’t let anything bring that down.
“They both have done things they’re not proud of and in no way was Ben a shining husband, but there are a lot of things that go into a marriage and a split. They put together their plans and goals, in terms of their friendship and their relationship, and they’re doing just that. Whatever this new normal that they created for their family is, they’re doing it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ricky Martin’s children are his toughest critics.
The ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ hitmaker says his eight-year-old twin sons, Valentino and Matteo, often give him advice on how he can improve his performances.
Speaking on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ the 45-year-old singer said: “They travel with me everywhere and they sit backstage and they look at my show every night. One day one of them went like, ‘Daddy, what happened tonight? I didn’t like this part. Yesterday was better, last night was better.'”
The singer’s sons are “completely different.”
He added: “Matteo loves drums, he might come one day (to perform). Valentino is so sweet. He loves mud and I love that he loves mud. He loves ‘Peppa Pig.'”
Ricky also opened up about his recent engagement to longtime boyfriend Jwan Yosef, saying: “I’m really happy.”
Asked how he met his fiancé, he added: “He is a conceptual artist and I’m a collector, and I saw his art on the Internet and I contacted him. Then we met and everything’s been perfect.”
The Latin heartthrob is excited to kick off his Las Vegas residency at the Park Theater at Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in April, but plans to commute to his concerts as he doesn’t want to uproot his family.

OHMYGOSSIP — Hulk Hogan has led tributes to George ‘The Animal’ Steele, who died at the age of 79 yesterday (16.02.17).
The 63-year-old wrestler said he was “grateful” to have known the late WWE star, who passed away from kidney failure shortly after entering hospice care.
In a touching message on Twitter, Hulk wrote: “George ‘the Animal’ Steel, RIP my brother, only love, only grateful. HH”
One of the WWE’s most notorious villains, George, whose real name was William James Myers, was known for his green tongue, hairy torso and unpredictable style.
He was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 1988, an inflammatory bowel disease which has no cure but can be brought into remission, and had his colon removed in 2002.
His wife Patricia told gossip website TMZ.com he died yesterday of kidney failure, while pro-wrestling agent Eric Simms revealed on Facebook that George had only just entered hospice care.
Other members of the wrestling community also shared their condolences on social media.
George’s biggest rivalry in the ring was WWE Champion Bruno Sammartino and, although he never won an official WWE Championship, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1995.
He was a vocal advocate against Crohn’s and wrote about his struggles in his autobiography, ‘Animal’.
The late wrestler also appeared in Tim Buton’s film ‘Ed Wood’ in 1994 and featured in the video game ‘WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain’ as a legend character.

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Timberlake would consider hosting the Oscars.
The 36-year-old singer, who is nominated for Best Original Song for his hit ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ at this year’s ceremony, says he would definitely consider an offer to present the prestigious event, but isn’t sure he has what it takes.
Asked if he would ever follow in the footsteps of former hosts such as Seth MacFarlane and Ellen DeGeneres and this year’s host Jimmy Kimmel, he told Variety and AARP’s Movies for Grownups during a Q&A: “Yeah, I guess. I don’t know! I feel like I wouldn’t know what to do after the first hour.
“It’s a long ceremony. I’m excited to see Mr. Kimmel do his thing this year, I think it’s going to be great!”
Justin and wife Jessica Biel are both looking forward to attending the event on February 26, and she couldn’t be prouder of him for scoring his first nomination.
Speaking on ‘The Tonight Show,’ the 34-year-old actress said: “Can you believe it? That’s so amazing. I really just think he deserves it. It’s such a good song. It’s a song that obviously makes everyone so happy and it’s so worldwide. He deserves it. I hope he wins.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chrissy Teigen thinks “it’s kind of silly” that people look up to her and husband John Legend’s marriage.
The 31-year-old model, who tied the knot with the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker, 38, in September 2013, is flattered her fans are envious of their bond, but thinks everyone needs to “have high standards of relationships goals.”
Asked how she feels when people constantly say she and John represent “Relationship Goals” on Twitter and Instagram, the Sports Illustrated beauty said: “I do think it’s kind of silly. I love being that way, because I love people looking up to somebody who has a relationship that’s enviable, of course. But also, the things they say it for are so stupid, like, we’ll be eating a burrito and someone will be like, ‘Relationship goals!’ and I’m like, ‘Go get a burrito? Just eat a burrito!’
“We should definitely have higher standards of relationship goals, but at the same time we’re very happy to be people’s relationship goals.”
Chrissy, who has 10-month-old daughter Luna with John, appears in the new swimsuit edition of the magazine and was nervous about showing off her post-baby body in a bikini.
She told PEOPLE.com: “I think just my confidence level changed a lot, but once you get there and you see MJ [Day, editor] rooting you on and this team of people just rooting you on, you’re happy to do it. But I was for sure nervous, I still had my belly line, I mean, I had my stitches. I could get into a lot. You don’t even want to know!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Hutcherson says Selena Gomez “really went all in” while filming their new ensemble movie, ‘In Dubious Battle.’
The 24-year-old actor claims he could hear his co-star “screaming” half a mile away while she was shooting a scene in which her character gives birth.
He said: “That was intense. She went for it. I wasn’t in that scene but I was on set and you could her screaming and going for it a f**king half-mile away. She really went all in.”
The ‘Hunger Games’ star is also currently promoting his directorial debut ‘Ape, which is part of a series of five shorts produced by the actor and his mother Michelle Hutcherson’s Turkeyfoot Productions, Indigenous Media and Condé Nast Entertainment.
And Josh is eager to continue working behind the camera.
He told EOnline.com: “I’ve always wanted to direct. Directing definitely preceded acting for me. Before I really actually started in the business, I was directing my friends in movies in Kentucky. But they hated every moment of it and would quit often, so I didn’t finish one of those projects. Now I’m going for redemption. I’m absolutely addicted to directing.”
While the ‘Hunger Games’ series is finished, John would consider making another film in the future, he said: “I loved the experience, I loved playing the character. I love the crew and our cast was great, the best. If it felt natural and right and not like a milking-the-cow money grab then I would for sure be down. I have no qualms at all about that–as long as they don’t create some s**t story so they can make some more money.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Felicity Kendal believes she is more of a “mature cat” rather than a “sex kitten”.
The 70-year-old actress – who is best known for playing the role of Barbara Good in the popular series ‘The Good Life’ – has laughed off suggestions she is still a sexy symbol at her age and finds the title “a bit alarming”.
Speaking about the title, the ‘Rosemary & Thyme’ star said: “I’m more of a mature cat now! Well I think I used to be [a sex symbol], but it’s a bit alarming to be thought of as a sex kitten at my age.”
The blonde beauty admits she loves to have chats with her friends in which they rank the attractiveness of guys and she’s happy for men to do the same and thinks people shouldn’t be too precious about taking a compliment.
She shared: “There’s nothing wrong with the feminine side. Sometimes, when I’m with my girlfriends and we’re having a coffee somewhere, we might see some man and we’ll say, ‘My God, he looks fit!’ Well that’s not an insult. In the same way, a man might say, ‘My God, she’s attractive.’ I mean it’s about the attitude behind it. But if it’s a compliment then it’s fine. It’s a very complicated area.”
Meanwhile, Felicity is set to star in the theatre production of the late Peter Shaffer’s 1978 comedy ‘Lettice and Lovage’ at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory in May this year, which will see her play the role of Lettice Douffet, and she wishes the playwright was still alive to direct her.
She told The Daily Mail newspaper: “It’s such a lovely tribute to him, and I hope we do him proud. I wish he was here to tell me how to do it – but Trevor [Nunn] will do that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Mick Jagger is claimed to have once purchased a multi-million pound country manor whilst high on LSD.
According to a 75,000-word unpublished memoir written by Mick in the 1980s, the Rolling Stones frontman spent a small fortune on historic Hampshire mansion Stargroves in England while he was experiencing an acid trip induced by the psychedelic drug, chemically known as Lysergic acid diethylamide.
Publisher John Blake has told The Spectator magazine that he was handed the manuscript three years ago and has been trying to get it verified by Jagger, 73, and within the tome it recalls the ‘Gimme Shelter’ rocker’s drug-induced purchase of the property – which he and his bandmates used as a recording venue in the 1970s.
It also apparently documents a scary horse-riding incident on the grounds of the property which almost ended in Jagger being injured.
Blake said: “Mick tells of buying a historic mansion, Stargroves, while high on acid and of trying out the life of horse-riding country squire.
“Having never ridden a horse before, he leapt onto a stallion, whereupon it reared and roared off like a Ferrari. He gave the stallion a thump on the forehead right between the eyes and slowed it down – otherwise the Stones’ story might have ended differently.”
Included among the albums recorded by The Rolling Stones at Stargrove are ‘It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll (But I Like It)’, ‘Exile On Main Street’ and ‘Sticky Fingers’.
The country home was eventually sold to fellow British rock legend Sir Rod Stewart who added it to his portfolio of properties in 1998 for £2.5 million.
Blake wants to share the book with the public but Jagger nor his management will let him publish it.
Blake said: “[Mick] has said again and again, in countless interviews, that he never will [write an autobiography]. Except what virtually nobody knows is that he already has. It is an extraordinary insight into one of the three most influential rock stars of all time – but the sad thing is, the public will probably never see it.”
The Rolling Stones’ manager Joyce Smyth has confirmed the existence of the book, but is adamant it will not be allowed to be published.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lisa Marie Presley’s twin daughters have been taken into child protection.
Lisa Marie’s eight-year-old girls Finley and Harper Lockwood – the granddaughters of late rock ‘n’ roll legend Elvis Presley – are currently under the care of California’s Department of Children and Family Services and will remain under their supervision until a trial next month after she allegedly found inappropriate pictures and videos on her estranged husband Michael Lockwood’s computer.
According to the court documents, obtained and seen by DailyMail.com, Lisa claimed as part of her ongoing divorce from her guitarist husband of 11 years that Beverly Hills Police Department found 80 of Michael’s electronic devices during a raid on her home and, although they’ve seized the gadgets, they are still analysing the evidence she found.
She said in the papers: “I was shocked and horrified and sick to my stomach. My understanding is that Tennessee law enforcement is also conducting an investigation related to the photos and videos that I discovered.
“I have no idea what else may be on those devices and fear that there are more and worse images and evidence in these un-analysed devices.”
The 49-year-old singer – who had an estimated fortune of $300 million but claims it’s nearly all gone – also said in the papers that she has to pay for two nannies to go along with her estranged husband to monitor him thoroughly when he visits their children.
Lisa and Michael – who got married in a ceremony worth $340,000 in Japan in 2006 – separated in June last year and have been locked in a bitter divorce ever since.
The brunette beauty – whose mother is Priscilla Presley – cited “irreconcilable differences” for the reason behind their split and has reportedly requested full custody of their girls.
Michael, 55, then requested that his wife pay him $40,000-a-month spousal support and $100,000 toward his legal costs.
Lisa doesn’t think she should have to pay the musician anything and has revealed she too is strapped for cash and doesn’t know if she can afford her divorce lawyer Mark Gross.
She said: “I am hopeful that I will be able to pay Mr. Gross $5,000 per month over the next three months to maintain his representation through the hearing.”
She’s also been forced to move in with her 27-year-old daughter Riley Keough, whom she has with her ex-husband Danny Keough, because of her financial woes.
Lisa also has 24-year-old son Benjamin with Danny and was previously married to Nicholas Cage from 2002 until 2004 and the late Michael Jackson in 1994.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner is ready to file for divorce from Ben Affleck.
The ’13 Going On 30′ actress and the ‘Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ – who announced they were splitting back in 2015 – have remained focused on raising their three children, Violet, 11, Seraphina, eight and Samuel, four, and will continue to do so even when Jennifer signs the divorce papers.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: “No matter what happens, Ben and Jen are committed to raising their family as one unit and will continue to do so as it has worked for them. They are both committed to their family.”
Jennifer and Ben have stayed on good terms since their split, with the 44-year-old actor recently revealing she is the “best cook” he knows.
He shared: “Jen is a really great cook. She’s probably the best cook I know. We had roast chicken this year [for Christmas]; it was really, really good. Other than that, we do pizza nights, where a guy comes and makes pizza and nobody has to cook. All the cleaning [is left to Ben].”
And Ben feels he has a “very rich” life which is “full of wonderful things”.
He explained: “I feel better about my life every day. My kids get older. My life is very rich and full of wonderful things. I’ve been very lucky, career-wise. My professional success is really important to me, and my career is really important to me. It’s the most important thing to me outside of my family. I take it very seriously and work really, really hard at it. Family comes first, but this is something that’s really important to me too.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Octavia Spencer thinks Viola Davis will win Best Actress in a Supporting Role at the Oscars.
The 46-year-old actress has been nominated alongside the ‘Fences’ star for her role in ‘Hidden Figures’ but believes that Viola will come out on top.
She said: “For me, being nominated puts no pressure whatsoever. I have no hopes in hell of winning. Viola Davis is winning so I’m excited just to be invited to the party. It is an extreme honour to be nominated.
“There were so many wonderful performances. The fact that mine made the top five, I am thrilled to death so there’s no pressure …
“When they called my name on Oscar [nominations announcement] morning and my publicist called me, that right there was a wonderful moment for me. I don’t take it for granted my miniscule chance that my name is called on February 26. I would be grateful but for me, it already has been called in.”
And Octavia doesn’t feel bad for her co-stars Janelle Monáe and Taraji P. Henson missing out on a nomination for their part in the movie and confessed she used her one vote to vote for herself.
She added: “I didn’t feel bad because it’s beyond our purview. We only get one vote in the Academy and yes, I voted for myself. If I was only going to get one vote, it was going to be for me. But I also voted for Janelle and Taraji because I felt like they were amazing.”
Octavia has remained close to her ‘The Help’ co-stars, which includes Viola and Emma Stone, since they all starred together in the 2011 movie and was thrilled to see them both nominated.
She told the Philippine Daily Inquirer: “Nobody has changed – that’s the beautiful thing. They’re grounded people. We are all usually in different cities but Viola has recently moved close to me. I was at her house on Super Bowl Sunday …
“We all are extremely happy for each other. I’m thrilled for Emma. Neither Viola nor Emma has changed. They’re still the same wonderful women that I met five years ago. When the nominations came out, we all received texts from each other.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Boy George was forced to wear a “bulletproof vest” after receiving death threats during a US tour.
The ‘Karma Chameleon’ hitmaker has revealed he had to don the protective gear when Culture Club were playing a gig in Louisiana after the band were sent threatening messages.
He said: “I was thinking, ‘I can’t cancel the gig so I’d better wear a bulletproof vest.'”
The 55-year-old singer – real name George O’Dowd – admitted the threats from some people meant the group were restricted from appearing on certain shows.
He added: “People didn’t want to have me on kids’ shows.”
And when he was dubbed one of the most “flamboyant and iconic” stars of all time by ‘Life Stories’ host Piers Morgan, he insisted he doesn’t see himself in that way.
He quipped: “Well I don’t think you think about yourself in those terms, do you know what I mean? You don’t wake up in the morning and think, ‘Oh I’m really iconic.'”
And Boy George also opened up about the late George Michael, admitting the pair were constantly “battling all the time” as they had so much in common.
Speaking on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, he shared: “We had our squabbles, he was my rival, he was called George, he made soul music so everything he did it was like we were kind of battling all the time.
“The only time we really got together was when friends tricked us and there was this one particular night where the two girls in Bananarama invited me to a dinner at a Japanese restaurant and he was there as well and we had such a brilliant time.”
‘Piers Morgan’s Life Stories’ airs on ITV on Friday (17.02.17) at 9pm.
