Benny and Jenny from the block

Ben Affleck's engagement to Jennifer Lopez was far more out there than anything he and wife Jennifer Garner went through. It seems school runs and trips to the farmers' market don't really sell like yachts and massive pink diamonds. But while Affleck revealed that his "biggest regret" was his divorce from Garner, in that candid, deep dive of an interview last week with The New York Times, the star of the upcoming The Way Back also dished on the other Jen from his past.Brooks Barnes, the writer of the compelling Times piece, shared some of the tidbits that didn't make it into Affleck's profile, including his thoughts on his former fiancee."She's the real thing," he said after referring to her Oscars snub for Hustlers. "I keep in touch periodically with her and have a lot of respect for her. How awesome is it that she had her biggest hit movie at 50? That's f*cking baller."

On past flame Jennifer Lopez ... "She should have been nominated. She's the real thing. I keep in touch periodically with her and have a lot of respect for her. How awesome is it that she had her biggest hit movie at 50? That's fucking baller."

Affleck and Lopez, who met while filming the much-maligned Gigli, became engaged in November 2002 but by early 2004, they were done. She moved on with Marc Anthony later that year; he with Garner the year after. But how nice is it to see that Brad and Jen aren't the only exes who are still in contact?[video_embed id='1907637']RELATED: Ben Affleck opens up about the 'frustration' of battling addiction in our new interview[/video_embed]

Cara Delevingne reacted to Justin Bieber ranking wife Hailey's friends

Not many women want to see their husbands ranking their friends, but what was Justin Bieber going to do — actually eat bull penis? OK, let's back it up. Biebs guested on The Late Late Show with James Corden where he took part in the segment "Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts," similar to Truth or Dare but with a Fear Factor twist.Bieber was asked to rank wife Hailey Bieber's friends, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne, from favourite to least favourite — or eat bull penis. Rock? Meet hard place.With almost no hesitation, Justin closed his eyes and responded: "Kendall, Gigi, Cara Delevingne." Biebs went on to explain that he and Kendall go way back, so he knows her the best. And he hasn't spent much time with neither Gigi nor Cara. "I have nothing against those people, it's just I have a better relationship with ... It's not like I'm like, 'Oh, screw Cara! Screw her!' You know what I mean?"But turns out, Delevingne didn't know what he meant because she clapped back at being last on that list.

Here's how much the cast of Friends will make for their upcoming reunion

That much-anticipated, oft-denied Friends reunion? Well, it's happening. In case you missed it, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer are set to take part in HBO Max's special — and they're set to bring in a nice chunk of change for it. Obviously.According to Variety, the six stars will reportedly earn at least $2.5 million for the unscripted, not-yet-titled special."Guess you could call this the one where they all got back together — we are reuniting with David, Jennifer, Courteney, Matt, Lisa, and Matthew for an HBO Max special that will be programmed alongside the entire Friends library," said Kevin Reilly, chief content officer at HBO Max and president of TBS, TNT, and truTV, in a statement. "I became aware of Friends when it was in the very early stages of development and then had the opportunity to work on the series many years later and have delighted in seeing it catch on with viewers generation after generation. It taps into an era when friends – and audiences – gathered together in real time and we think this reunion special will capture that spirit, uniting original and new fans."In case you needed confirmation from the actors themselves, Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, Perry and Schwimmer all posted the same pic with the same caption: "It's happening."

LeBlanc, on the other hand, went a little rogue and in true Joey Tribbiani fashion, announced the news in his own, special way.

Aniston took to the comments to correct LeBlanc, writing, "Oh no... No no no NO LeBlanc! Could that BE more NOT what we said to post???" Cox was more succinct: "Uh no Matt. Wrong reunion." But Kudrow had her pal's back. "Ha! They Do look like us..."The special and the entire series will be available to subscribers at the launch of HBO Max in May.

Tristan Thompson's a "great person," according to Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian was a guest on the podcast Divorce Sucks!, hosted by divorce attorney to the stars Laura Wasser, where rather than bash her ex-fiance and father of their daughter, True, Kardashian revealed that she and the NBA star keep things as friendly as possible for their girl's sake. And she's taking that example from her own parents, Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian."I was about 4 or 5 [when they split] and I always remember though how amazing — I'm sure now that I've gone through it myself trying to co-parent — that they were so seamless with it," explained the reality star. "I never, ever heard my parents talk disrespectfully about the other one."And that's how she aims to be with Tristan, insisting that while True is still a baby, she still feels the energy around her and Khloe doesn't want anything "heavy" around her daughter."I know her dad is a great person, I know how much he loves her and cares about her so I want him to be there."A true testament of class from Khloe, who could easily go the opposite route considering everything she and Tristan went through. But, nope. True is Khloe's number-one priority and if that means maintaining a cordial relationship with her cheating ex for that to happen, then that's what she's going to do. Co-parenting awesomeness FTW!

Harry and Meghan will surrender the "Sussex Royal" brand

Let the royal changes commence. Soon. Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan took to their website to announce what we can expect from their transition this spring. After that fateful day in January, when Harry met with the senior members of the Royal Family, the couple took to their website to provide all the facts surrounding their future. One of the most crucial things? Since they're cutting back from their royal duties, the name that they've become synonymous with — Sussex Royal — will no longer be theirs.

Makes sense. And Harry and Meghan couldn't be any more transparent with all the details on their site (which also, it should be noted, bears the word "royal," so it'll be changing too). No date has been announced for when Sussex Royal will be eliminated, but it'll take place in the next few weeks and then undergo a 12-month review.Other things to note is that the couple "do not plan to start a 'foundation', but rather intend to develop a new way to effect change and complement the efforts made by so many excellent foundations globally.""As The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to develop their non-profit organisation and plan for their future, we hope that you use this site as the source for factual information," concluded the statement. "In Spring 2020, their digital channels will be refreshed as they introduce the next exciting phase to you," adding they "greatly appreciate your support!"Only 25 days until spring.
