Lindsay Shookus: Did She Cheat on Ben Affleck With Jon Hamm?!
When the world first learned that Ben Affleck was dating Lindsay Shookus, many applauded the non-tabloidy nature of their relationship.
After all, Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Garner had been finalized; the former couple had been separated for more than two years; and the timng seemed right for Ben to move on with someone new.
Then the tabloid media started doing some digging and they found, well … a lot.
For starters, several outlets claimed that Garner and Shookus had an affair for several years before coming out as a couple.
This is a bit of a problem, as until relatively recently, both were married to other people.
It later came out that Garner confronted Shookus after learning of the affair, which she found out about after noticing some expensive jewelry purchases on Ben’s credit card statement.
As for Shookus’ ex-husband, Kevin Miller, he reportedly just fouhd out about the affair a few months ago, and now believes it was the cause of his divorce.
(According to People and Us Weekly‘s timelines, Shookus began her relationship with Affleck just a few months after welcoming the her and Miller’s first child.)
Now, London’s Daily Mail has done even more digging into the Lindsay’s past and found that the SNL producer has a history of dating famous men.
The tabloid reports that Lindsay engaged in a low-key affair with Sex and the City actor Chris Noth, though Noth’s reps deny the claim.
Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that Noth would’ve already been involved with his current wife at the time.
Interestingly, the tabloid claims that Ben and Lindsay went on a break at at one point.
(Yes, if the timelines are accurate, they’ve been together long enough to have gone on a break.)
During that time, it seems Lindsay got involved with another respected actor with a famously messy personal life.
The Mail claims Lindsay dated Jon Hamm during this time, and news of the relationship royally pissed Ben off.
Affleck and Hamm are friends and they worked on the 2010 film The Town together.
They both got out of very longterm relationships around the same time, and it seems Shookus knew just how to make Affleck jealous.
It’s anyone’s guess as to how much of the Mail‘s report is accurate, but one thing’s for sure:
It doesn’t look like Ben will be able to leave his tabloid staple status in the past any time soon.

Jon Hamm on Losing Virginity: My Big D Wasn"t Ready!
Jon Hamm – very, very well-endowed Mad Men actor – wasn’t ready to lose his virginity.
His story – a common one – is pretty cringeworthy, too.
During an interview with Elle, Hamm was asked about what he’d do differently about losing his all-important V-card.
His response?
Approximately the same response from any number of people who could be polled.
“I don’t know,” he laughed. “Everything.”
“There’s no version of it that’s not awkward.”
“Let’s put it this way: as much as I had practiced, I was still not quite ready for game time.”
Been there, Hammdong.
He went on to admit that he didn’t lose his virginity at a young age, like many of his contemporaries.
“I was in college,” he revealed.
“I was 19 [years old].”
As for his current love life, Hamm broke up with his long-time ex, Jennifer Westfeldt a year ago.
However, he has been linked to January Jones (AKA She of the Icicle Vadge) several times, so that might contribute to his awkwardness in talking about sex.
With regard to his college days, though, it wasn’t just the sex that was bad.
Hamm was arrested for a frat hazing, which left its victim “brutally beaten and molested.”
The victim was said to have endured a paddling to his genitals (OMG NO) more than 30 times and “suffered great pain.”
As for Hamm’s part, he reportedly “hooked a claw hammer under the pledge’s genitals.
Then he lit the victim’s pant leg on fire, and refused the pledge to put the fire out.
In 2015, prior to his breakup with Westfeldt, Hamm completed a 30-day stint in rehab for alcohol addiction.
About rehab, Hamm released a statement, which read “With the support of his long-time partner, Jennifer Westfeldt,” John Hamm recently completed treatment for his alcohol addiction.”
Hamm had been candid in the past about his “chronic” struggle with depression, which could have led to his substance abuse issues.
About his depression, Hamm said, “I struggled with chronic depression.”
“I was in bad shape.”
“Anti-depressants help!” he said.
“if you can change your brain chemistry enough to think, ‘I want to get up in the morning; I don’t want to sleep until four in the afternoon. I want to get up and go do my s–t and go to work.’ “
Good to see Hammdong’s working through his demons.
Now if we could just see more of him … both literally and figuratively.

Jon Hamm & January Jones: Officially Dating?!
At the 2016 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jon Hamm took home one of the night’s top prizes for his work in the final season of Mad Men.
Now it seems the 44-year-old star may have celebrated by reminiscing about his time as Don Draper with the help of a former castmate.
Yes, Hamm and January Jones on-screen marriage may have been swallowed by a tidal wave of booze and infidelity, but in real life, Hamm is newly sober – and newly single – and several insiders say the co-workers are making a go at a real-life relationship.
Hamm broke up with Jennifer Westfeldt – his girlfriend of 18 years – last summer, and he reportedly reached out to his longtime friend January – who was also fresh from a long-term relationship – for support.
Sources say the platonic dinners eventually led to Hamm and Jones hooking up, and now they’re officially dating – and doing their best to keep it low-key.
“They’ve always had an extremely close relationship and crazy chemistry,” says one insider. “They always flirted with each other on set, but never went there because Jon was with Jennifer.”
The source adds that after the Globes, Jon and January headed back to her house – which has become a home-away-from-home for Hamm in recent weeks.
“They’ve been spending time together at January’s home in LA,” the insider continued. “It’s a gated community so they don’t have to worry about paparazzi getting shots of them together.”

Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt: Back Together?!
Back in September, Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt broke up after 18 years together and countless reports of Hamm engaging in Don Draper-esque bad behavior.
There were conflicting reports about why Hamm and Westfeldt split, but several sources confirmed that Hamm’s drinking and “wandering eye” had taken a toll on the relationship.
Westfeldt wasn’t in attendance when Hamm (finally) won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and lately, there have been reports of Hamm and Ben Affleck partying and picking up women together at LA clubs.
Needless to say, it looked as though Hamm and Westfeldt were well and truly over – until this past weekend.
On Sunday, the couple was spotted together for the first time in months at a memorial service for director Mike Nichols, who passed away last year.
What’s more, sources say Hamm and Westfeldt were arm-in-arm throughout much of the event and seemed to be intentionally sending the signal that they’re back together.
Eighteen years is quite a long time, so we suppose it’s not surprising that these two would give their relationship another chance.
And hey, the timing couldn’t be better:
Hamm completed rehab back in Match and reportedly hasn’t had a drop in eight months. Just as importantly, with Mad Men’s seven-season run at an end, he can finally put his brooding, boozy, philandering alter-ego behind him.

Ben Affleck & Jon Hamm: Picking Up Chicks Together?
Back in June, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their divorce.
Last month, Jon Hamm broke up with Jennifer Westfeldt.
Obviously it’s a bummer, as both relationships endured for more than a decade (almost two, in Hamm’s case), and one of them yielded three children, but it’s time to get over the heartbreak and focus on what’s really important:
Ben Affleck and Jon Hamm are both single.
One of them is Batman and the other one has Jon Hamm’s penis, so basically Bruce Wayne and Don Draper are about to be schooled in the art of gettin’ it in.
“He and Jon Hamm go out looking for women together,” a source tells Star magazine. “They hit up Ye Rustic Inn in Los Feliz late at night. Ben lines up his drinks and then they ‘check out the talent.’”
Sadly, we have no way of knowing if this is true, but the details check out.
The insider says “Ben lines up his drinks,” and seems to imply that Hamm stays sober.
It makes sense, as Hamm recently completed rehab after struggling with alcohol addiction.
Affleck also had a drinking problem, and he sobered up for a while, but then he was presumably all like, “F-ck this, I’m Batman,” and proceeded to guzzle a bottle of Scotch older than the last woman he slept with.
Anyway, experts say that if you’re a woman in the Los Angeles area, experts say that there’s a 98% chance that you’ll have sex with Jon Hamm and/or Ben Affleck this weekend.
Frankly, we think that’s a conservative estimate.

Jon Hamm & January Jones: Hooking Up?!
Over the weekend, Jon Hamm won his first Emmy after being nominated an astonishing 16 times.
Of course, throughout his seven seasons of portraying Don Draper on the critically adored AMC series Mad Men, the narrative about Hamm was that he was nothing like his boozy, philandering onscreen alter ego.
Whereas Draper was a drunk, a primadonna, and a serial adulterer, Hamm was said to be a schlubby, self-deprecating everyman, hopelessly devoted to his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Westfedlt.
Part of that might still be true, but it looks like years of stepping into Dick Whitman’s skin left a mark on the once-humble Hamm.
When Hamm entered rehab for alcohol addiction, many speculated about the emotional impact of playing a depressed, self-destructive drunk for the better part of a decade. (Hamm dismissed their concerns.)
When he broke up with Jennifer Westfeldt after years together, jokes about Don-esque infidelity were everywhere on social media.
Now, it looks like Hamm may have completed the Draper trifecta by banging all of his co-workers.
First, there were rumors about Hamm and Elisabeth Moss (who played Peggy Olson on Mad Men) and now, sources are claiming that Hamm and former onscreen wife January Jones were spotted getting awfully close at an Emmys after-party.
The timing is significant as it was first reported that Jones and Will Forte broke up just days before the ceremony.
Yes, Don and Betty Draper found themselves both newly single and celebrating both his Emmy success and the final season of Mad Men at a series of lavish Hollywood parties.
Is there any possibility that they didn’t hook up?

It seems like everyone is super bummed about Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt‘s break-up!
On Saturday night, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner spoke out on Jon and Jennifer’s sad split, a hard blow for many fans who’ve admired the couple’s relationship of 18 years.

Weiner dished on the situation, saying:
“It’s a personal thing for him, and he’s a public person, I guess, so it’s an issue. All I can say is I wish him the best. I wish them both the best. They’re both incredibly talented, wonderful people. They’ll both find happiness, there’s no doubt in my mind.”
Aww. While we definitely agree that both parties will be fine, it’s still sad to know that their “happiness” is no longer with each other!
So, do YOU think the pair will ever get back together?

Jon Hamm -- Breaking Up with Jennifer Westfeldt
Z STAFF
Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt have ended their relationship after nearly 2 decades together.
The “Mad Men” star and Westfeldt announced the break-up through a joint statement, saying — “With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history.”
The now ex-couple told People, “We will continue to be supportive of each other in every possible moving forward.”
Jon and Jennifer were rumored to be on the rocks earlier this year after Hamm got out of rehab, but they denied there was any trouble. In fact, Hamm credited her for sticking by him while he got treatment.
