The new documentary about Ashley Madison's infamous cyberattack isn't warning people away from the service ... according to one exec, it's actually boosting membership, including famous folks!

We talked with Paul Keable -- the Chief Strategy Officer for Ashley Madison -- and he tells us memberships are up in recent days thanks to "Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies, and Scandal" going #1 on Netflix. Paul figures it's partly 'cause people forgot the site exists until they saw the doc.

Paul says celebs do still use the site despite the 2015 hack that leaked many prominent people's names as allegedly having accounts. He thinks this is because they're dealing with the same issues as normies, feeling trapped in monogamy and it gives them a chance to explore in a safe space.

If ya don't know, Ashley Madison launched as a dating site for married people, and still promotes itself with the tagline ... "Life is Short. Have an affair."

Dean McDermott's firing off at trolls shocked at Tori Spelling's acceptance of his new girlfriend ... this despite seemingly obvious tension between the exes.

The actor jumped into the replies of a post featuring his new girlfriend, Lily Calo, to defend himself and his estranged wife after several fans said they couldn't believe Tori liked the post ... essentially showing her support.

In response to one comment which seemed to really upset him, Dean wrote, "It’s because she is a highly evolved and compassionate loving person, which is a lot more [than] I can say for the trolls commenting on this post."

Ben Affleck just upped the ante, or lowered it, amid the marital strife between Jennifer Lopez and himself -- because he's no longer wearing his wedding ring.

Well, at least he wasn't on Friday evening when pulling up to the school where his kid had a recital ... and as Ben moved the sun visor in his car, it became clear his left hand was a little lighter than it's been for almost 2 years.

As we reported, Ben has been living separately from J Lo for a few weeks now -- he moved out of the $60 million Bev Hills mansion they bought last year, and into a rental home in Brentwood.

Kendall Jenner's got the internet abuzz with reconciliation rumors ... 'cause she hit up her ex Bad Bunny's show right on the heels of their Met Gala reunion.

The reality television star hit the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida Friday ... cutting a low-key figure in a brown hoodie -- though it didn't stop fans from catching her moving and grooving to the beat.

After watching some of the show, eagle-eyed fans eventually saw her heading out early ... looking to beat the rush out of the arena, it seems.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori chowing down at America's Diner isn't something you'd expect, but their affordable meal comes as a major shakeup goes down at Ye's company.

New video obtained by TMZ shows Kanye -- with a white hoodie tight around his face -- walking into a Santa Barbara Denny's behind Bianca, who was in one of those skintight nude-colored bodysuits she loves. They were keeping a somewhat low profile, but it's clearly them.

We're told they arrived at the restaurant around 8 PM Monday, and were very animated with each other during their meal. Plus, eyewitnesses say an issue with the food might have sparked an argument with their server.

Jennifer Lopez liking romance advice online happened organically -- as the relationship coach behind the post has no connection to her, but her inbox is getting flooded regardless.

Lenna Marsak -- who threw up the IG post that J Lo liked Thursday, touching on unhealthy relationships -- tells TMZ ... she definitely doesn't know J Lo personally, noting that they don't even follow each other, but has a sense of how her upload made its way to Jen's feed.

Lenna says the post in question had already been doing well -- in terms of performance and shares -- so it's possible Jenn just stumbled across it on her explore page on IG and liked it.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are still on speaking terms as they go through whatever they're going through -- they briefly reunited for the sake of their kids, but they're still not under the same roof.

The couple was photographed together for the first time in well over a month Thursday evening, coming together for a school play starring Ben's kid, Fin.

We're told Ben and Jen arrived separately, but both showed up with flowers for Fin ... and they didn't keep their distance. They were chatting it up with each other ahead of the play.

There's no denying Joe Alwyn has a thing for blondes ... the actor's surrounding himself with a group of women whose hair color just happens to match that of his ex, Taylor Swift.

Check it out ... in a new video obtained by TMZ, Joe is seen mingling at the Golden Globes party that went down Thursday evening at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, France. Dressed in a white and black outfit, Joe was doing the small talk schmooze with a few blonde beauties.

Witnesses tell TMZ ... Joe was the biggest celeb at the industry event, which means there was a long line of folks wanting to chat with him. We're told he was super charming, although he didn't stay at the bash for long.

Ben Affleck has been staying at a home that he seems to be occupying without his wife, Jennifer Lopez -- and he was spotted leaving there this morning ... this amid split rumors.

The actor was photographed Thursday morning in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles -- where we're told he left a house that he's been seen coming from and going to ... and where we're told he's been spending the night as well.

This morning, paps got him leaving that same area ... and he appeared to be riding solo. We're also told that Ben was NOT spotted at his house with J Lo the night prior -- so it seems he spent the night here at this Brentwood address.

3:29 PM PT -- Jennifer Lopez just popped up at a dance studio here in L.A. ... and wouldn't you know it, she's still wearing her wedding ring.

Check it out ... J Lo was photographed outside with a sea of paps around, and she had a laptop in her left hand -- with her band still on, keeping in with how she's been looking of late ... namely, married. Hard to gauge what this means in light of her IG like ... stay tuned.

Jennifer Lopez has broken relationships on the mind, at least based on an Instagram post she liked, and it comes on the heels of buzz she and Ben Affleck have hit a rough patch.

Here's the deal ... a relationship coach named Lenna Marsak -- who posts a ton of content about how to build a strong and healthy romance -- posted something back in March that J Lo apparently came across Thursday morning, and liked it. The post itself might be telling.

It features a few slides of large text -- including the opening one which kicks it off strong, reading ... "You cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who ..."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are enjoying a little getaway in Europe ahead of the singer's next slate of shows in Stockholm ... and they couldn't pick a more romantic setting.

The couple jetted off to Lake Como, Italy to enjoy a private dinner by candlelight just outside of the luxurious 17th-century villa where they're staying.

Despite their A-list status, the Grammy winner and the NFL star kept a low profile ... with Taylor wearing a dark sundress and overcoat and Travis rocking a white long-sleeve shirt and black slacks for the outing.

Kel Mitchell's making explosive claims about his ex-wife, claiming she got pregnant by multiple men during their marriage ... something she says is an outright lie and delusion.

The actor sat down with Shannon Sharpe on his "Club Shay Shay" podcast for an interview released Wednesday when he talked about his ex, Tyisha Hampton, to whom he was married from 1999 to 2005.

The way Kel tells it, Hampton had an abortion before they got married -- and, after they married, he claims she told him the aborted fetus was not his, but a different man's.

Hailey Bieber is just like any other woman who's pregnant and getting cravings for certain foods ... but hers might be slightly more unusual, yet don't tell her that!

Take Hailey's latest meal to satisfy her hankering for certain sustenance ... which she featured Wednesday on her Instagram Story.

Hailey posted several photos showing off her baby bump as the model struck various poses. But the one that captured everyone's attention focused on her hand holding egg salad on top of a pickle with ... wait for it ... hot sauce!

Rory McIlroy was not in the mood to discuss his personal life while facing a pool of reporters at the PGA Championship on Wednesday ... sticking to sports as he fielded questions.

TMZ Sports broke the story -- the 35-year-old golf superstar filed for divorce from his wife, Erica Stoll, earlier this week ... but anyone hoping to get some more info about Rory's off-course affairs was left without a sound bite.

Journalists were instructed to NOT ask anything about McIlroy's personal matters as he took the stage at Valhalla ... with someone hopping on the mic beforehand to tell reporters all they need to know was included in the statement his team released on Tuesday.

Dak Prescott and Sarah Jone are lovin' their new roles as parents so much, they just got matching tattoos to ensure they never forget this time in their lives.

The couple -- who just gave birth to baby MJ Rose in February -- shared images of their new ink on their social media pages Wednesday ... showing off the adorable tats with pride.

Each one features an M that turns into a J -- with a rose on the end of it.

Christine Baumgartner isn't keeping her romance with Kevin Costner's former friend a secret anymore ... shamelessly holding hands in Montecito months after finalizing her divorce.

The actor's now-ex-wife stepped out with financier Josh Connor Tuesday -- walking out hand in hand in public ... while rocking sporty attire for a stroll around the ritzy SoCal town ... and they're not shying away from the PDA here.

There wasn't any kissing as far as we can tell ... but CB and JC were all over each other, hand-holding and even wrapping their arms around each other's waists.
