Ben Affleck serves as the third wheel during dinner date with Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barroso
Ben Affleck was in an awkward position as he became the third wheel alongside his childhood friend Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso over the weekend.
The actor, 52, sat in on a dinner date that Matt, 54, had with his 48-year-old wife Luciana - whom he tied the knot with in 2005 - at Steak 48 in Beverly Hills on Sunday.
Ben was spotted wearing a black T-shirt under a black leather jacket, with blue jeans and black boots for the dinner outing.
Matt opted for a white button-down short-sleeved shirt, gray pants and white sneakers for the outing.
Ben may have been looking to spend time with his close friend and his wife as he tries to move on from his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
The actor and Jennifer separated in April last year before finalizing their divorce in February.

How Trump is fueling a new gun buying boom with a surprising demographic
A growing number of women are buying guns for the first time, with many crediting Donald Trump 's policies for emboldening them to exercise their Second Amendment rights as others noted their growing fear of the political climate in the U.S. Since the start of 2020, more than 20 million Americans have become first-time gun owners, with women - especially from minority backgrounds - making up a significant share of the spike.

Popeyes sparks fast food war with McDonald's as snack wrap release date announced
Popeyes is unleashing its competitive side after adding Chicken Wraps to its menus this week - as McDonald's finally announced the return date of the beloved Snack Wrap. Popeyes' Chicken Wraps come with lettuce, shredded cheese, and pickles with a choice of Classic, Spicy, or Honey Mustard sauce. 'We wanted to create a Chicken Wrap that was undeniably Popeyes,' said the chain's VP of Culinary Innovation Amy Alarcon. The wraps, available for a limited time, include nearly every ingredient one sees on McDonald's beloved Snack Wraps. The McDonald's item had been a longtime fan favorite item that customers have been waiting for since its 2016 discontinuation. The item, which came with the choice of ranch or honey mustard, was made of grilled or crispy chicken, lettuce, and shredded cheese. The new McDonald's wrap, which will come with a spicy or ranch spread, is set to return at participating locations on July 10, the chain announced Tuesday. While thousands of customers have been reacting to McDonald's Snack Wraps, Popeyes has been busy hinting its intentions to beat the restaurant chain in a fast food war. McDonald's ranch or spicy-flavored Snack Wraps will be available to purchase at participating locations on July 10 Popeyes began its quest on May 30 by mimicking a cryptic X post McDonald's made in April. McDonald's wrote 'Snack wraps 0x14.2025,' making customers believe they would return on the 14th of a month this year. The chicken chain responded on May 30 with 'chicken wraps 0x.02.2025,' which signaled the item would appear in two days on June 2. Popeyes also responded to this morning's Snack Wrap announcement from McDonald's by writing '... y'all good?.' The brand poked fun at the length of the McDonald's social media announcement, writing: 'i ain't reading all that - i'm happy for u tho - or sorry that happened.' As of now, McDonald's has yet to clap back, but its fans were more than thrilled to finally learn the Snack Wrap's release date. Popeyes fans were also excited to try one of its Chicken Wraps and were intrigued by the chains' relationship. 'Popeyes and McDonalds beefing was not on my bingo card,' an X user wrote. I think Popeyes and McDonald's need a debate on the chicken wrap — Loner Skii ⛷️ (@LonerSkii) June 3, 2025 McDonald's and Popeyes chicken wraps this summer: — Public Enemies Podcast (@PublicEnemiesHQ) June 3, 2025 Social media users either rooted for McDonald's or Popeyes, while others were entertained by the disses The battle between McDonald's and Popeyes is nothing new in the fast food world. The restaurant chains challenged one another back in 2019 during the early years of the chicken sandwich wars. Popeyes had already been in a battle with Chick-fil-A over the brands' chicken sandwiches. McDonald's took it to another level by launching a Spicy BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Fast-forward five years into the future, and both restaurant chains are going head-to-head in $5 Meal Deals. McDonald's is still looking to outdo Popeyes in the chicken category and is currently working on three C-suite roles to analyze menu items in three categories: beef, chicken, and beverages and desert. While the two are competing, McDonald's and Popeyes have one thing in common: low first quarter sales this year. Popeyes' same-store sales dropped 4 percent, while McDonald's US sales fell by 3.6 percent. The restaurant chains have not let slipping sales drag them down and, like other fast food brands, are continuing to fight for top dollar.

Tom Brady reveals why he will never criticize Patrick Mahomes amid $375m Fox Sports deal
Tom Brady has opened up on why he will never be too critical of fellow quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes. Brady is the most successful quarterback of all time, having won seven Super Bowls during a Hall of Fame career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He recently finished his first season as an NFL analyst after signing a 10-year, $375million deal with Fox Sports. Brady came in for criticism after moving into the broadcast booth and it was recently put to the 47-year-old that he was 'very supportive' of Mahomes from behind the mic. Mahomes is considered the biggest threat to Brady's Super Bowl record, having led the Kansas City Chiefs to five of the past six Super Bowls. Brady helped the Bucs beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV but he told Complex Sports: 'How can I throw shade at someone who is as amazing as he is?' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Complex Sports (@complexsports) The NFL legend insisted he wants to be 'honest' and 'up front' with viewers but Brady also admitted that he is reluctant to be harsh on his fellow quarterbacks. 'I know what he's been through and I think the one position I'm in now as a broadcaster is I do feel responsibility a) to tell the fans what I see and be honest and up front about everything. 'But also realize that what these guys are doing on the field is extremely difficult. It's a high level of skill. You're looking at any of the 32 teams who have a starting quarterback out there. 'That guy's one of the best in the world at what he does. So do they make the right plays all the time? Certainly not. By the way, neither did I. 'And I think you have to have this context and perspective and you realize that it's not about this harsh critique and that's not really what it's all about anyway. 'To me, it's more about: let's point out the greatness of these individual players. Have fun, enjoy it, entertain a little bit and really try to to educate people a little bit.'
