Page Six reports that Ben Affleck is allegedly open to rekindling things with Jennifer Garner—because apparently, he’s trying to complete the Jennifer Infinity Gauntlet. But Garner is reportedly not interested, which makes sense—why go back to your ex when you’ve upgraded to a man who doesn’t look like he lost a fight with Dunkin’ Donuts?

RadarOnline reports that celebrities are terrified they might go blind from using Ozempic—because apparently, nothing says “Hollywood” like risking your eyesight just to fit into a size zero. Doctors say the drug has been linked to vision loss, which means some stars might finally have an excuse for their terrible movie choices.
