Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez Spotted With Jennifer Garner At School Event ... Co-Parenting In Los Angeles

Here's something you almost never see ... Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck photographed with Ben's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

But that's exactly what everyone saw Sunday after the famous trio left a musical performance at a Los Angeles school with the kids Garner shares with Affleck, namely Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11, along with Emme, 15, who J Lo shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

TMZ obtained these rare images showing Garner walking out of the school with Seraphina and Samuel following the event. Just behind them, Ben and Jen were strolling with Emme, while the three had a little convo. What we did not see was Lopez and Affleck interacting with Garner.

Still, everyone seemed totally chill, as if viewing them in the same frame was no big deal. And maybe it wasn't.

You may recall in November ... Affleck and Garner were filmed laughing it up as they attended Samuel's basketball game in Santa Monica. Clearly, the two movie stars were enjoying co-parenting together – and now it seems Lopez is part of that equation with Sunday's outing.

As we reported ... Affleck was married to Garner for 13 years, divorcing in 2018 after having three kids: Seraphina, Samuel and their oldest child, Violet Anne, 18.

In 2021, Affleck rekindled his previous romance with Lopez before the two tied the knot the following year.

Ben now plays stepdad to Lopez's 15-year-old twins -- Max and Emme -- from the actresses' marriage to singer, Marc Anthony. Lopez divorced Anthony in 2014.

protagonista de "Squid Game" sufre un robo y un saqueo en su casa

Lee Byung-hun está pasando por un momento desagradable, porque su casa fue atacada por ladrones.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que uno de los miembros del personal de Lee se detuvo en su casa de Los Ángeles la semana pasada para encontrar el lugar saqueado. Nos dicen que los ladrones rompieron una puerta corredera de cristal para entrar en la casa.

El incidente se llevó a cabo mientras que la estrella de "Squid Game" estaba fuera de la ciudad y todavía no está clara la magnitud del robo. La policía dice que Lee revisará sus pertenencias cuando llegue a casa para averiguar que es lo que falta.

Nuestras fuentes policiales no creen Lee fuera el objetivo, y señalan que esto parece ser el trabajo de uno de los equipos de robo que han estado robando barrios ricos alrededor de Los Ángeles.

Uno de los recientes robos involucró a Lena Waithe, como te dijimos por primera vez, Lena perdió al rededor de $200.000 en joyas cuando los ladrones irrumpieron en su casa mientras estaba fuera de la ciudad.

'Squid Game' Star Lee Byung-hun Home Burglarized and Trashed!!!

Lee Byung-hun probably wants to go all "Squid Game" on someone ... because the Netflix star's home got hit by burglars.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... one of Lee's staff members stopped by his Los Angeles area home last week to find the place ransacked. We're told the thieves smashed a sliding glass door to get inside the house.

The incident, we're told, went down while the "Squid Game" star was out of town ... but it's unclear what, if anything, was stolen and how much those items might be worth. Cops say Lee will go through his belongings when he gets home to figure out if anything is missing.

Our law enforcement sources tell us cops don't believe Lee was targeted here ... instead, police say this appears to be the work of one of the burglary crews that have been robbing wealthy neighborhoods around Los Angeles.

One of those recent smash-and-grab burglaries involved Lena Waithe ... as we first told you, Lena was hit for around $200,000 in jewelry when thieves broke into her home while she was out of town.

Dominique Dunne Famous Actor Offered to Have her Killer BF Murdered

SEEKING REVENGE
TMZ Studios

"Poltergeist" star Dominique Dunne's death at the hands of her boyfriend enraged a very famous actor so much ... he told her family he could have the guy murdered.

Dominique, the daughter of famed writer/producer Dominick Dunne and sister of actor/producer Griffin Dunne, was strangled to death by BF John Sweeney, a famed L.A. chef, back in 1980. Sweeney was charged with murder but, in what almost everyone involved says was a gross miscarriage of justice, he was convicted of manslaughter and only served several years in prison.

Griffin, Dominick and family friend/Oscar-winning producer Charles Wessler went on a mission to haunt Sweeney, getting him fired from at least 7 jobs after his release from prison.

In a new TMZ documentary on FOX Monday night at 9/8 Central, Wessler tells the story at Dominique's funeral, where a very famous actor -- an actor who everyone knows -- came up to him and said he knew "people" who could take care of Sweeney for good -- i.e., kill him.

Wessler made it clear ... it wasn't something the family wanted, but it shows the level of outrage.

As the wheels of justice began to grind, it became apparent the legal process had gone horribly wrong. The judge would not allow the jury to hear from Sweeney's prior girlfriend who had an horrific story of how he repeatedly brutalized her to the point she ended up in the hospital several times. The woman broke her silence for the first time in our documentary.

As for the offer to perform a hit on Sweeney, judging from the way Wessler tells the story, the actor may have had mob ties.

You can hear the pain Dominique's family and friends experienced, for never being able to properly avenge Dominique's death -- something we examine in detail in our new doc -- "Killing a Movie Star: A Grave Injustice."

OG 'Road House' Star Critiques Conor, Gyllenhaal Fights ... Hits Sound Off!

012624_marshall_teague-kal
CAN'T COMPLAIN
TMZSports.com

One of the stars of the original "Road House" is giving his review of the first look at the Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor-led remake ... telling TMZ Sports there's one glaring difference that caught his attention -- the way it sounds when dudes are duking it out.

Marshall Teague -- who played Patrick Swayze's arch nemesis, Jimmy, in the '80s cult classic -- was one of the millions of movie buffs who tuned into the trailer for the Prime Video project this week ... and while he's really pulling for the new take to do well, he found the audio effects in the fight scenes "humorous."

Teague -- who's experienced in martial arts and kickboxing -- said he and Swayze actually hit each other HARD during their on-screen scraps ... so naturally, it sounded like the real deal.

But, considering Conor is one of the greatest fighters on the planet and Gyllenhaal, despite training like a madman for his Elwood Dalton role, is not nearly as experienced in combat ... it's safe to say the two couldn't go toe-to-toe like Swayze and Teague did back in the day -- but Marshall hopes they were still able to build a similar bond on set.

"I love [Patrick] to death and I miss him every day," Teague said. "He's a great guy. I feel very honored to have had the opportunity to do that film with him and I hope the two of them have the same relationship. I really do."

Teague praises both Jake and Conor for being amazing in their respective fields ... and he wants nothing but the best for the upcoming flick.

No matter how great the reimagined version turns out, Teague said it will be tough to top the OG ... but he's truthfully got his fingers crossed that it can live up to the expectations.

As for whether he's got a cameo in the 2024 edition, Teague revealed he's received thousands of messages from fans asking if he makes an appearance ... but he pointed out it would be kinda hard to do, as his character died in the original.

Sorry for the spoiler ... but come on, it's been out for three decades.

Estrella de "Road House" critica las escenas de pelea De Gyllenhaal y McGregor

012624_marshall_teague-kal
no puedo quejarme
TMZSports.com

Una de las estrellas de la original "Road House" está dando su opinión acerca del remake protagonizado por Jake Gyllenhaal y Conor McGregor, diciéndole a TMZ Sports que hay una diferencia evidente que le llamó la atención... la forma en que suenan los golpes.

Marshall Teague -que interpretó al archienemigo de Patrick Swayze, Jimmy, en el clásico de culto de los 80- fue uno de los millones de aficionados al cine que sintonizaron Prime Video para ver la película y, a pesar de que está deseando realmente que tenga éxito, no puede evitar pensar que los efectos de audio en las escenas de lucha "graciosos".

Teague -que tiene experiencia en artes marciales y kickboxing- dijo que él y Swayze realmente se golpearon DURO durante sus peleas en la pantalla, así que, naturalmente, todo sonaba bastante real.

Teniendo en cuenta que Conor es uno de los mejores luchadores del planeta y que Gyllenhaal, a pesar de haber entrenado como un loco para su papel de Elwood Dalton, no tiene tanta experiencia en el combate... es seguro decir que los dos no pudieron enfrentarse como lo hicieron Swayze y Teague, pero Marshall espera que hayan sido capaces de construir un vínculo similar en el set.

"Lo quiero mucho y lo echo de menos todos los días", dice Teague. "Es un gran tipo. Me siento muy honrado de haber tenido la oportunidad de hacer esa película con él y espero que los dos tengan la misma relación. De verdad que sí".

Teague elogia tanto a Jake como a Conor por ser increíbles en sus respectivos campos y no quiere nada más que lo mejor para la próxima película.

No importa lo grande que sea la nueva versión, Teague dijo que será difícil superar a la original, pero él realmente tiene los dedos cruzados para que pueda estar a la altura de las expectativas.

En cuanto a si tiene un cameo en la edición de 2024, Teague reveló que ha recibido miles de mensajes de los fans preguntando si hace una aparición, pero señaló que sería un poco difícil de hacer, ya que su personaje murió en el original.

El novio asesino de Dominique Dunne fue objetivo de un famoso actor

buscando venganza
TMZ Studios

La muerte de la estrella de "Poltergeist" Dominique Dunne a manos de su novio enfureció tanto a un actor muy famoso, que le dijo a su familia que podía hacer que lo mataran.

Dominique, hija del famoso escritor y productor Dominick Dunne y hermana del actor y productor Griffin Dunne, murió estrangulada por su novio, John Sweeney, un famoso chef de Los Ángeles, en 1980. Sweeney fue acusado de asesinato, pero, en lo que casi todos los implicados dicen que fue un grave error judicial, fue condenado por homicidio involuntario y solo cumplió varios años de prisión.

Griffin, Dominick y Charles Wessler, amigo de la familia y productor ganador de un Oscar, se dedicaron a perseguir a Sweeney, consiguiendo que lo despidieran de al menos siete trabajos tras salir de la cárcel.

En un nuevo documental de TMZ en FOX el lunes por la noche a las 9/8 Central, Wessler cuenta una historia que transcurre en el funeral de Dominique, donde un actor muy famoso -alguien que todo el mundo conoce- se acercó a él y le dijo que conocía a "gente" que podría encargarse de Sweeney para siempre, es decir, matarlo.

Wessler dejó claro que no era lo que la familia quería, pero muestra el nivel de indignación.

Cuando las ruedas de la justicia empezaron a girar, se hizo evidente que el proceso legal había ido terriblemente mal. El juez no permitió que el jurado escuchara a la anterior novia de Sweeney, que tenía una historia horrible de cómo él la maltrató repetidamente hasta el punto de que acabó en el hospital varias veces. La mujer rompió su silencio por primera vez en nuestro documental.

En cuanto a la oferta de realizar un golpe contra Sweeney, a juzgar por la forma en que Wessler cuenta la historia, el actor podría haber tenido vínculos con la mafia.

Se puede oír el dolor que experimentó la familia y los amigos de Dominique por no haber podido vengar nunca adecuadamente la muerte de Dominique, algo que examinamos en detalle en nuestro nuevo doc. "Matar a una estrella de cine: Una Grave Injusticia".

Penelope, la hija de Scott Disick recrea el baile "Saltburn"

La hija de Scott Disick -Penelope- está sumergida en una nueva tendencia viral con amigas, aunque la inspiración que originó la tendencia puede levantar algunas cejas.

ASESINATO EN LA pijamada

Así es la cosa, Scott hizo una fiesta de pijamas en su casa para Penélope y algunas amigas el sábado por la noche, incluyendo a su prima, la hija de Kim Kardashian, North West. Las niñas claramente van en dirección de sus padres haciendo muchos videos para TikTok.

El clip de Disick muestra a las niñas filmando a su hija de 11 años bailando por las escaleras y a través de la enorme casa en el área de Los Ángeles. Suena "Murder on the Dancefloor", mientras que Penelope gira y gira hacia a la cocina.

Si todo esto te suena familiar, es probablemente porque el personaje de Barry Keoghan hace lo mismo en la película "Saltburn", aunque baila desnudo.

Si no has visto la película, spoilers, básicamente, el personaje de Barry -Oliver- se desnuda y baila en la enorme casa de la familia rica de otro personaje después de asesinar con éxito por su dinero, en pocas palabras, el contenido muy adulto.

Para ser justos, el baile ha tomado vida propia en línea con muchas personas que lo recrean completamente vestidos -al igual que lo hicieron las chicas- sin embargo, todavía tenía algunos fans en línea preocupados de que podrían haber visto la película.

Sin embargo, la mayoría de los seguidores de Disick en Insta están alabando lo divertido del video y el hecho de que las chicas lo estén pasando tan bien y de paso aplaudiendo a Scott.

Penélope ciertamente parece entusiasmada con su noche de chicas, lejos de sus hermanos Mason, Reign y su nuevo hermanito Rocky que nació hace apenas un par de meses.

Scott Disick Daughter Penelope, North West Dance ... Viral 'Saltburn' Trend!!!

Murder At The Sleepover
Instagram / @letthelordbewithyou

Here's the deal ... SD appeared to host a sleepover at his place for Penelope and some friends Saturday night -- including her cousin, Kim Kardashian's daughter North West. The girls clearly take after their famous family members 'cause they filled their evening filming TikTok vids.

Disick's clip shows the girls filming his 11-year-old dancing down the stairs and through the massive Los Angeles-area estate. They're blaring "Murder on the Dancefloor" while PD twists and turns her way to the kitchen.

If all that sounds familiar to ya ... it's probably 'cause Barry Keoghan's character does the same thing in the movie "Saltburn" -- though he dances buck naked.

If you haven't seen the movie, spoilers ... basically, BK's character Oliver strips down and dances through the massive estate of another character's wealthy family after successfully murdering them for their money -- bottom line, very adult content.

To be fair, the dance has taken on a life of its own online with many people recreating it fully clothed, just like the girls did ... but it still had some fans online worried they may have seen the flick.

For the most part though ... followers on Disick's IG post are just lauding how fun of a time the girls look like they're having and applauding Scott -- seems like a lot of people think his house looks like a dang good time.

Penelope certainly seems excited about a girls' night in ... away from her brothers Mason, Reign and new baby bro Rocky who was born just a couple months ago.

Justin Timberlake canta "Sanctified" del álbum "EITIW" en "SNL"

Justin Timberlake se reunió con su coprotagonista de "Social Network" en "SNL" e interpretó una segunda canción de su nuevo álbum.

Justin fue el invitado musical en el programa conducido por Dakota Johnson y dio a conocer su sencillo, "Sanctified", que aparece en su nuevo álbum, "Everything I Thought It Was".

También interpretó "Selfish", que fue el primer single del álbum.

Justin también apareció con Dakota y Jimmy Fallon en la última edición de "The Barry Gibb Talk Show".

Como probablemente sabes, Justin ha sido boicoteado por los seguidores                  de Britney, quienes se han vuelto locos comprando el single de 2011 de Britney - "Selfish"- solo para hacer caer a la versión de Justin.

Este es un álbum importante para Justin. El último no estuvo ni cerca de rozar el millón de ventas y si a este no le va bien, puede que se convierta en un intérprete del recuerdo.

JT was the musical guest on the show hosted by Dakota Johnson, and he unveiled his single, "Sanctified," which appears on his new album, "Everything I Thought It Was."

He also performed "Selfish," which was the first single from the album to drop.

Justin also appeared with Dakota and Jimmy Fallon in the latest edition of "The Barry Gibb Talk Show."

As you probably know, JT's been dragged by Britney Spears' supporters, who have been going wild buying Britney's 2011 single "Selfish" to drag down Justin's version.

This is a huge album for Justin. His last one did not come close to cracking the 1 million sales number and if this one doesn't do well he may well become a legacy performer.

Kevin dice que la película hace un trabajo bastante bueno en comprimir tantas historias en 2 horas, y que es bastante exacta en cuanto a los hechos, al menos para los estándares de Hollywood.

Una cosa en la que "The Iron Claw" se tomó algunas libertades fue en la relación con su padre, el luchador profesional Fritz Von Erich. Kevin dice que su papá nunca quiso que se metiera en la lucha libre, a diferencia de cómo se muestra en la película.

También entiende por qué el director dejó a su hermano Chris Von Erich fuera del filme y quiere que la gente sepa que nunca habría llegado a tales alturas sin el cristianismo, algo que la película omite.

Pero bueno, es Hollywood y Kevin conoce el juego.

Kevin says the film does a pretty good job boiling down so many stories into a 2-hour movie ... and it's pretty much historically accurate, at least by Hollywood standards.

One thing Kevin says 'Iron Claw' took some liberties with is his relationship with his father ... pro wrestler Fritz Von Erich. Kevin says his pops never wanted him to get into wrestling, unlike the way it's portrayed in the flick.

Kevin also understands why the director left his brother Chris Von Erich out of the movie ... and he wants folks to know he never would have risen to such heights without Christianity ... something the movie omits.

Dominique Dunne KILLER BF TERRORIZED New Girlfriend AFTER Murder TRIAL

THE VIOLENCE CONTINUED
TMZ Studios

The trial of the boyfriend of actress Dominique Dunne -- one of the stars of "Poltergeist" -- stands out as one of the most appalling miscarriages of justice ... and what unfolded in the aftermath of the 1982 murder is especially unsettling -- all exposed in our new FOX primetime special ... which unearths shocking new evidence.

In the harrowing doc airing Monday night, we confirm Griffin Dunne's lingering suspicion his sister's killer, John Sweeney, had committed more domestic violence after the trial -- one particular case from 2000 ... when a woman filed a restraining order against him, alleging shocking brutality.

Too scared to speak on camera, the woman speaks directly to Harvey Levin ... recalling how he dragged her by her ponytail through a hotel lobby, shoved her head in a bathtub, pushed her against a wall, and put his hands on her collarbone near her throat.

She escaped with their infant child and hasn't seen him since ... and despite getting the police involved, Sweeney wasn't charged with a crime.

Charles Wessler, an Oscar-winning producer and family friend of the Dunnes, says the recent revelations don't come as a surprise ... claiming Sweeney still caries the same volatile rage to this very day. Dominque's devastated pal Gloria echoes the sentiment, saying he was never cured ... calling him a caged animal.

Harold Johnson, the lead detective in the 1982 case, is equally disturbed ... saying it's a travesty a man as violent as Sweeney is still going around choking women.

'Juno' Writer Diablo Cody Oscars Are Cool I Guess ... But Gimme 'Barbie' 💰!!!

Diablo Cody's all about the dollar bills, and she'd give up seemingly anything for enough of them ... including her Oscar!

The writer/producer talked about Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig getting snubbed for Best Actress and Best Director respectively in an interview with People ... and insisted she'd give back her Academy Award for penning "Juno" if she'd get a "Barbie"-level box office return.

DC basically told the mag that of course Margot and Greta got snubbed ... but who cares about that when you just made 10 figures at the box office -- before adding she'd "trade my Oscar for a billion-dollar movie right now, if I could flip a switch!"

Cody said she meant to disrespect to the Academy ... though it kinda felt like saying "no offense" after you've low-key shaded a friend if we're being honest. But, let's be real -- a ton of stars would make that deal for a billion-dollar movie.

Another interesting note ... Diablo took a stance similar to a lot of people online -- mainly that both Robbie and Gerwig got nominated in other categories -- so not a total snub for either star.

To be fair, Cody's a bit of an expert in this field ... 'cause she worked on the "Barbie" project that was meant to star Amy Schumer way back in the day -- though hers never quite got off the ground, saying it's a hard IP to make believable.
