Ben Affleck is allegedly trapped in another holiday tug-of-war between Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner. According to insiders, this is basically last year on repeat. Ben wants to split time between both families in L.A., but J.Lo wants something bigger like flying everyone somewhere tropical for a full blended-family holiday reset. Garner, meanwhile, is standing firm and not changing her plans. Ben just wants turkey. Instead, he’s negotiating peace treaties.

Jelly Roll told Complex magazine that at his heaviest weight, he truly believed he was only months away from death.
