Somber Ben Affleck dines solo at pricey steakhouse after Jennifer Lopez locks lips with A-lister on film set
Ben Affleck looked deep in thought after enjoying a meal in Beverly Hills on Friday night. The Accountant 2 star, 52, was spotted exiting the high-end eatery Steak 48, one day after ex-wife Jennifer Lopez was seen in a lip-lock with Diego Luna in the sexy trailer for her new film Kiss of the Spider Woman, on which he serves as a producer. The Oscar winner looked relaxed, wearing a thick gray sweater over a blue button-down shirt and dark jeans tucked into his beige ankle boots. His dark hair and beard were closely trimmed as he made his way to the valet station to get his car. On Saturday morning, the Air star was up early, taking his German Shepherd for a walk. Affleck adopted him as a security dog in January amid safety concerns following the destruction of the Los Angeles fires. The pooch was well-behaved enough to be off-leash as they took their morning exercise. To keep warm in the chilly morning air, the Deep Water star wore a similar gray sweater over a T-shirt with a black jacket. He donned faded jeans, which he tucked into his beige ankle boots and carried one of his favorite coffee drinks. Affleck and his friend, business partner and fellow Oscar winner Matt Damon, 54, have teamed up again for the upcoming thriller The Rip. The two will star are Miami police officers in the crime drama The Rip for Netflix. Damon and Affleck are producing project, based on the experiences of real cop, through their Artists Equity studio, which they founded in 2022. The pair promoted their film, which was scheduled to debut on January 16, 2026 in a sweet spot with Cookie Monster, who along with his friends on Sesame Street, have joined the screening service. The two are wearing blue windbreakers with Police written on them when they burst through a door. 'Drop it,' Affleck says, holding a flashlight. 'Miami PD. Put your hands in the air,' commands Damon as Cookie Monster blissfully munches on his favorite food. 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa! Me only got cookies here,' he told the officers. 'Oh, sorry Cookie Monster' Affleck apologized. 'Cookie Monster, love your work,' said Damon, appeasing the Muppet. 'We're big fans of your work,' the Town star added. 'Yeah, you know Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, you like the cookies and milk of actors.' The pair thanked him for his compliment and asked if they could grab a cookie on their way out. As they exited, Damon grumbled under his breath, 'I can't believe he's got a nicer dressing room than we do.'

BREAKING NEWS Jared Leto accused of sexual misconduct by MULTIPLE women... and several were allegedly minors
Jared Leto is facing allegations from nine women of inappropriate behavior, including with teenage girls. The frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars and star of films including House Of Gucci and Suicide Squad, 53, is alleged to have inflicted the behavior on them over the course of nearly two decades, and the accusations involve women who say they were teenagers at the time of the alleged incidents. According to an exposé published by Air Mail, the claims, which have apparently circulated in Hollywood for years, have now been brought into the open, with one woman stating to the outlet: 'It's been an open secret for a long time.' The accusations came to light after Los Angeles–based DJ Allie Teilz, 30, re-shared a 2012 Facebook post on her Instagram Stories, in which she alleged Leto assaulted her when she was 17. 'You're not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… in a kilt… And a snow hat,' she claimed. 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.' She further alleged that Leto — who was previously called out by other Hollywood stars for being 'full of himself' — 'knew' her age but 'didn't care,' describing his actions as 'predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' The accusations in a story by Air Mail include allegations of sexual assault, while others claim Leto made unwanted sexual advances at them, ever after he allegedly knew they were underage; pictured in September 2024 in Paris Reps for Leto haven't yet responded to request for comment. A second woman, whose name was not revealed, told Air Mail that Leto approached her in 2006 when she was 16 at Urth Caffé in Los Angeles. At the time, he was allegedly visiting the popular cafe with Ashley Olsen, whom he had been rumored to be in a relationship with at the time. 'I looked down and it was Jared Leto. We had a quick conversation, and he got my number,' she claimed. The woman alleged that he called her days later, adding: 'I don't know if he was on drugs or what… it was the weirdest, grossest voice… [but] for me, it's Jared, you know?' The woman alleged their late-night conversations 'turned sexual,' and she claimed that Leto asked questions including, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend?' and 'Have you ever sucked a d***?' Model Laura La Rue, 33, also alleged that she met Leto in 2008, when she was 16 and he was 36, at a Yes! on Prop Two animal rights benefit. 'He asked how old I was,' she alleged. 'I said, "I'm 16. How old are you?"' La Rue claimed Leto still asked for her number despite knowing her age, and she said he later invited her to his Los Angeles home, where he was 'flirting' and 'teasing [her] the whole time [she] was there.' Leto's representative denied all of the women's accounts in a statement to Air Mail: 'Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate and Ms. La Rue later applied to work as Mr. Leto's personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.' But La Rue denied applying for such a role. Sources quoted in the article described parties at Leto's Los Angeles home and said they had a ratio of 60 'very young women to four or five men,' and they claimed that guests were encouraged to go skinny dipping at the events. Jared's publicist stated that the actor 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.'
