Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were looking very in love on a red carpet recently, but before you get too excited, we need to tell you what was really going on.Plus, Prince William gave a very surprising interview to a beloved Hollywood celeb that was clearly trying to change our image of him (and it might have worked on Em…), so we need to unpack exactly what happened, starting with his questionable electric scooter use.And Hilaria Baldwin is back in the spotlight in a huge way, appearing on Dancing With The Stars and taking part in tell-all interviews, and she is still clinging to the (alleged) lie that she is Spanish.
