Ben Affleck was spotted spending some quality father-daughter time with Violet Affleck as his 20-year-old daughter enjoys some time home from Yale.

The actor and filmmaker took Violet for a drive in his Ford F-150 Raptor, a rather conspicuous choice of wheels given the family's well-known assortment of electric vehicles. The high-performance pickup is certainly a departure from the eco-friendly rides Affleck has been associated with over the years.

The Raptor's imposing size and aggressive styling made the father-daughter outing hard to miss as Ben chauffeured Violet around Los Angeles. The pickup is built for serious off-road performance, with the current Raptor lineup offering high-output engines and four-wheel drive. The V8-powered Raptor R is particularly thirsty, with fuel economy rated at just 12 mpg combined.



Violet, meanwhile, has developed a reputation for being environmentally conscious, making her passenger seat appearance in the gas-powered pickup an amusing contrast. Still, there's nothing quite like getting some quality time with dad, regardless of what's parked in the driveway.

For Ben, who recently turned 54, the outing offered another glimpse of his close relationship with his eldest daughter as she takes a break from her studies at Yale.

Sometimes even an environmentalist needs a ride from Dad -- even when Dad happens to be driving a gas-guzzling V8.

Hailey Bieber looked stunning as she arrived at Sushi Park in Los Angeles for dinner with husband Justin Bieber, turning the celebrity hotspot into her own runway with a striking yellow silky lace tank top paired with black heels.

The 29-year-old model and Rhode founder commanded attention in the eye-catching ensemble, bringing a splash of glamour to the couple's otherwise ordinary Wednesday night dinner outing. Her bold yellow tank is also right in line with her recent embrace of brighter summer fashion, with Vogue noting her growing affinity for fluorescent yellow.

Despite dining together, Hailey somehow managed to arrive and leave without being photographed alongside Justin, keeping the couple's movements surprisingly separate from the watchful paparazzi.

As Hailey made her way toward the restaurant, the couple's bodyguard was quick to spring into action. Clearly unhappy with the growing paparazzi presence, the security guard voiced his displeasure as photographers attempted to capture Hailey's arrival. Their sushi outings have occasionally resulted in tense encounters with photographers.



Still, Hailey blocked out the commotion with headphones while confidently making her way inside in her chic summer look. While Justin remained out of the photographers' frame, Hailey managed to give the cameras plenty to talk about all on her own.

Kathy Griffin went makeup-free as she stepped out for a brisk Sunday stroll, keeping her look casual in dark red wide-legged pants and a vintage KCRW T-shirt.

The comedian appeared relaxed as she enjoyed some fresh air, opting for a low-key look and going without makeup for the daytime outing.

Griffin's casual appearance comes after she opened up about undergoing her third facelift, being unusually candid about both the work she had done and the eye-popping price tag. The 65-year-old revealed that the procedure cost $218,000, joking about how many comedy shows she would have to perform to cover the bill.

The extensive procedure was performed by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Talei and included an upper-eyelid procedure featuring what Griffin described as a "cat eye stitch," along with work around her chin. She has also discussed having a fat transfer using liposuction from her thigh as part of the procedure.

Griffin has been unusually open about her cosmetic procedures, explaining that she wanted to be transparent about having work done rather than pretend her appearance was entirely untouched. She has previously spoken publicly about her first facelift in 1998 and said she hoped her openness would encourage other public figures to be more honest about cosmetic surgery.

Now, with her six-figure procedure behind her and a romance forming, Griffin is feeling extra confident after revealing her new flame is only 22 years old!

Ben Affleck spent part of his 54th birthday giving back, with the actor spotted helping two different people experiencing homelessness during separate encounters during his drive through Los Angeles.

Affleck, who celebrated his birthday on August 15, was seen handing cash to people in need during the course of the day, quietly offering a helping hand without making a production of the good deeds.

The gesture comes as Affleck finds himself in an increasingly lucrative chapter of his career. The actor and filmmaker recently became a $600 million man following Netflix's reported acquisition of his AI-focused filmmaking company, InterPositive.

Rather than spending his milestone birthday solely celebrating his own success, Affleck appeared determined to share some of his good fortune with people struggling on the streets of Los Angeles.

This act of giving back resonates personally with the actor. Affleck has long supported homelessness organizations and previously volunteered at The Midnight Mission.



Affleck's birthday was otherwise a family affair, with the actor spending time with ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children in Santa Monica.

In a city where homelessness remains a major issue, Affleck's simple gestures offered a reminder that sometimes a little kindness can go a long way. On his 54th birthday, the Oscar winner appeared happy to lend a hand to those who needed it most.

Actress Hayden Panettiere has tragically died at the age of 36, her representative confirmed Sunday, August 16. The former child star, who rose to fame in Remember the Titans before becoming a household name through Heroes and Nashville, died in Greenville, South Carolina.

According to the Greenville Police Department, officers and EMS personnel responded at approximately 1:51 p.m. Sunday to a report of an “unresponsive female.” Panettiere was found unresponsive at the scene, where medical assistance, including advanced life support, was administered. She was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m. local time. Police said the preliminary investigation has found no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances, while the investigation remains ongoing.

Panettiere began working as a performer as a child and made an early impression in Remember the Titans, where she played Sheryl Yoast. She later appeared in films including Raising Helen, Ice Princess and Scream 4, but it was television that ultimately made her a star.



In 2006, Panettiere landed the role of Claire Bennet on NBC's hit superhero drama Heroes, famously playing the cheerleader with the ability to regenerate. She later starred as troubled country singer Juliette Barnes on Nashville, earning two Golden Globe nominations for her performance. Her later credits included the Scream franchise, including Scream VI.

Panettiere had also become increasingly candid about the difficult experiences behind her public image. Earlier this year, she released her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, in which she opened up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse and the challenges that accompanied growing up in the spotlight.

Her death is the second devastating loss her immediate family has suffered in recent years. Panettiere's younger brother, actor Jansen Panettiere, died in February 2023 at just 28.

His death was attributed to heart complications. Just three weeks before her death, Panettiere shared what would become her final Instagram post. The black-and-white photograph showed the actress with her hands resting on photographer Randall Slavin's shoulder as he wrapped an arm around her. She captioned the image simply, “Good times and good friends.”

Panettiere is survived by her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya Evdokia Klitschko, whom she welcomed in 2014 with her former fiancé, heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko. In 2018, Panettiere surrendered full custody of Kaya to Klitschko to focus on recovering from severe postpartum depression, alcoholism, and opioid addiction.

From a scene-stealing child performance in Remember the Titans to her breakout role on Heroes and acclaimed run on Nashville, Panettiere built a career that spanned more than three decades. She was just days away from her 37th birthday.

Anne Hathaway proudly showed off her growing baby bump and dazzling smile as she arrived at Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her upcoming film The End of Oak Street alongside co-star Ewan McGregor.

The Oscar-winning actress looked radiant as she greeted photographers and fans outside the Los Angeles studio, confidently displaying her pregnancy as she made her way inside for the appearance. Hathaway appeared to be in high spirits, flashing her signature pearly white smile as cameras captured her arrival.

Hathaway was joined by McGregor, who kept things light and playful as he made his way into the studio. The Star Wars and Trainspotting star acknowledged the fans gathered outside with a quick peace sign before following his co-star inside.

With guest host Anthony Anderson at the helm, the pair are expected to chat about The End of Oak Street, giving fans a closer look at the new project and what it was like working together.

For Hathaway, the appearance marked another public outing as she prepares to welcome her growing family, with the actress proudly putting her baby bump front and center as she continues her promotional duties.

Kim Kardashian's sprawling Hidden Hills mansion was reportedly burglarized Sunday, August 9, with a man allegedly gaining access to the property and taking one of the reality star's vehicles for what is being described as a "joyride."

The reported incident is the latest in a long history of security scares surrounding Kardashian and her properties, underscoring the challenges the reality star continues to face despite living in one of Los Angeles' most exclusive and heavily secured communities.

Justin Bieber appeared to be feeling a little worse for wear as he stepped out for a sushi dinner with wife Hailey Bieber in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

As per usual, the pop star kept things casual for the evening, sporting a white T-shirt and green basketball shorts as he accompanied Hailey to the restaurant. Hailey, meanwhile, put more effort into her ensemble as she turned heads in a figure-hugging black top paired with white pants for their low-key date night.

But as the couple made their arrival, they appeared somewhat out of sync as they made their way into the restaurant. Hailey walked several steps ahead while Justin trailed behind, looking noticeably more subdued than his wife.

Justin's tired appearance naturally caught the attention of photographers as he ignore a fan's plea for a photo. The singer didn't appear particularly eager to be in front of the cameras whatsoever, keeping his head down as he followed Hailey inside.

The couple has had plenty of attention surrounding their relationship in recent months, with fans speculating the toll parenthood has taken on the couple, making even their most ordinary outings a source of interest for fans and photographers alike.

Hopefully, all is well in Bieberland!
