A source says, “One of her staff sent her the photos of Ben’s new look when they dropped and she was totally flabbergasted and initially felt a little sorry for him.

It’s obvious to her that this is a cry for help, but her hands are tied because he’s totally ghosted her. Ben’s not bothered if J-Lo or others want to judge him. He’s excited to have his life back and a fresh start ahead of him.’’

He’ll have the occasional glass of wine at dinner or on special occasions, but for the most part he’s committed to a very clean life, and it’s not been easy. He’s admitted to his friends that it’s very boring because there’s nothing to take the edge off, especially when he’s out on the road. He’s still got his computer games to zone out with, but as far as vices go, they’re all gone — and, as anyone knows, it can be a big adjustment period. But he’s promised his wife to clean up his act, and he’s sticking to it, no matter how tough it gets.” The next hearing for his DUI case is set for September 13th, though he won't need to be present.

Steve Martin tells The Los Angeles Times that he has no interest in hosting The Academy Awards for a fourth time. "I have a joke for The Oscars that I never used. But I always think it's funny. I'll come out and say, 'I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, 'Steve, how did you get to host the Oscars?' It was easy. I just called my agent and I said, 'Get me something thankless.' They don't pay, either. The Golden Globes pay, so they get Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. And Ricky Gervais. The Oscars should pay. When you consider the amount of work, it's at least several months of mental churning. Oh, and one last thing: They have not asked."
PopCulture.com says Kevin Costner believes "Yellowstone" is doomed without his involvement. A source says, "Kevin's well aware the likes of Taylor Sheridan and other turncoats are probably chuckling over Horizon's bad viewing numbers, and it's only strengthened his bitterness and dislike toward them. It would give him a lot of quiet satisfaction seeing those guys fall flat on their faces for even attempting to breathe fresh life into the show he sees very much as his baby not theirs. At the end of the day, Kevin thinks the Yellowstone bosses are running around like delusional headless chickens. His bottom line, however egotistical it may sound, is that without his genius … even on a consulting level … it's not going to work."

Dear Fonseca,
I saw yesterday that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are divorcing and that they don't have a prenup. My fiance and I are just weeks away from getting married. He wants me to sign a prenup because he says it protects both of us in the event we break up. If you listen to any successful person talk about their plan for life, they always say they never had a Plan B and that's why they succeeded. I think the same thing rings true with prenups. They are a Plan B and make it easy for people to get out of a marriage. I think not having a prenup makes a couple work harder to stay together. Am I making any sense? Do you agree with me or my fiance? Would you sign a prenup? Should I?
