Ben Affleck and "SNL" Producer Lindsay Shookus On a Coffee Date
Ben Affleck’s looking more and more like he’s locking in ‘SNL’ producer Lindsay Shookus as his new gf … ‘cause they had a coffee/juice date Monday morning. Ben and Lindsay grabbed Starbucks in Brentwood after apparently spending the weekend…
Jennifer Garner Confronted Lindsay Shookus After Learning of Ben Affleck Affair, Sources Claim
Last week, we learned that Ben Affleck is dating Lindsay Shookus, a 37-year-old Saturday Night Live producer, whom he reportedly met while rehearsing an appearance on the show.
Affleck just finalized his divorce from Jennifer Garner in April, but the couple has been separated since 2015.
So surely there’s no great scandal in Ben moving on and dating someone new at this point, right?
Ha! This is the Batfleck we’re talking about, and whether it’s justified or not, there will always be countless pearl-clutching gasp-takes about everything he does.
And in this case, the situation might have involved actual clutching of pearls.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves …
As you may have heard, it’s been rumored that Ben cheated on Jennifer with Lindsay.
In fact, some have gone so far as to say that Affleck and Shookus carried on an affair behind Garner’s for years, and that the couple parted ways after Jen found out about it.
Conflicting stories abound, but right now, the consensus seems to be that Garner is pissed about the relationship, which lends credence to the theory that it overlapped with her marriage.
One insider tells Radar Online that Ben and Lindsay hit it off from the first time they met, and
“There was an immediate spark,” says a source close to the situation.
“Ben and Lindsay flirted and stayed in touch through Ben’s appearances on SNL.”
Apparently, Affleck and Shookus weren’t great at keeping things on the down-low, and Jen found out about the affair after realizing that Ben had made several extravagant jewelry purchases.
“Jen met face-to-face with Lindsay and demanded she return the jewelry,” the source revealed.
“Lindsay says she’d return it, but only if Ben asked for it back.”
Yes, the insider claims there was an actual face-to-face confrontation between Garner and Shookus.
Sounds like things came close to getting very ugly.
Fortunately, Garner didn’t feel the need to fake her own death and frame Ben for the murder.
Sorry, but it’s impossible to hear news of Ben Affleck marital troubles and not think of Gone Girl.

Lindsay Shookus: Was She Ben Affleck"s Mistress?!?
According to multiple new reports, Lindsay Shookus is dating Ben Affleck.
According to a bombshell report, however, Lindsay Shookus is not the new girlfriend of Ben Affleck.
She’s actually been seeing the actor for awhile now.
Like, for THREE YEARS.
An insider tells Us Weekly that Affleck actually started his romance with Shookus way back in June of 2015, back when he was still married to Jennier Garner.
“Ben and Lindsay started their affair about three years ago, just a few months after she became a mom,” this source tells the tabloid, adding in further detail:
“They were not casually dating – they were having a full-blown affair.
“They were sleeping together, sending each other cute texts and meeting up whenever they could.”
YIKES.
There had been rumors of an Affleck affair nearly since the beginning of his turmoil with Garner.
It’s basically been confirmed, for example, that Affleck slept with his family nanny, but sources have claimed this dalliance took place after he was separated from Garner.
The same, though, cannot be said for Shookus.
Garner and Shookus’ ex-husband, Kevin Miller, both learned about this allegedly sordid relationship in 2015, Us Weekly claims:
“They were devastated when they found out about the affair,” the tabloid writes, while a second insider makes it clear:
“Lindsay was the main reason that Jen decided to leave Ben. They had a multitude of problems, but this was the breaking point for Jen.
“This wasn’t just sex, this was infatuation and a full-blown relationship that Ben and Lindsay were having while they were both married.”
Someone close to Affleck disagrees with this assessment, however, along with the entire Shookus timeline/allegation in general.
“Lindsay was not what led to the end of their marriage. They had a ton of other problems,” says this mole, who insists Affleck has only been giving it to Shookus for a few months.
“Ben is enjoying Lindsay’s company, and they will continue to see each other.”
Affleck and Garner finally got divorced this past April.
It took them two years to make the break-up official, as rumors of a reconciliation floated around the Internet for about two years.
The stars are committed to a healthy friendship in order to co-parent their three kids in a healthy environment, even spending this past July Fourth as a family.
As for Lindsay Shookus?
A friend tells E! News that she “the kindest person” and is very “down to earth.”
She grew up in cold climate of Buffalo, New York and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in journalism.
Her very first job out of college was as an assistant to a producer on Saturday Night Live.
“I was watching Bruce Springsteen perform from 30 feet away on my fourth day,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015. “I remember thinking, ‘How is this my job?’”
Shookus moved up the ranks to become an associate producer for the NBC program and later a producer for dozens of episodes and specials, including the 40th anniversary special, for which she won an Emmy.
She sort of discovered Kristen Wiig, spotting her early on and pushing for her to audition for SNL.
She has one child with the aforementioned Miller, who she met when he worked as writers’ assistant on SNL and who now works as a supervising producer on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
They got married in 2010.
Did they then get divorced because of Affleck?
Yes, if you believe this scandalous story.

Lindsay Shookus: Dating Ben Affleck! For Real!
Ben Affleck reportedly spent July Fourth with Jennifer Garner and their children.
But the actor and the actress merely hung out as friends.
The real fireworks for Affleck, according to E! News insiders, takes place when the star spends time with someone named Lindsay Shookus…
… because the two are totally getting it on! In bed!
Shookus is a producer at Saturday Night Live and an anonymous source tells E! that she and Affleck recently met up in London while the actor was abroad for work.
The duo took in a showing of Sam Mendes’ play Ferryman at the time, with the reliable celebrity news outlet even featuring a photo of Affleck with his hand on his new lady’s back as proof.
“It’s more than a summer fling,” the insider says, immediately contradicting him or herself by adding:
“They are having fun and care for each other. It’s early and they are taking it slow.”
Affleck and Shookus also stepped out in Los Angeles last night, taking their romance semi-public for the first time.
Shookus graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor’s degree and her middle name is Anne.
She previously helped produce 30 Rock and was included among those who won an Emmy Award for the 40th anniversary Saturday Night Live special.
The blonde beauty started working at SNL way back in 2006.
Following many months of up, downs, backs and forths, Jennifer Garner and Affleck filed for divorce this past April.
They had announced their separation two years beforehand, yet continued to spend time together as the parents of three kids.
There had been many rumors of reconciliation floating around the Internet during this time, but neither Garner nor Affleck ever talked this way. They never hinted that they’d get back together.
It seems pretty clear at this point that the stars simply remained on strong terms because they wanted what was best for their family. And they still do.
Previously, Affleck had been linked romantically to Sienna Miller and Jennifer Lopez.
But those reports were likely complete nonsense.
Heck, he didn’t even move out of the home he shared with Garner until early May!
This Lindsay Shookus relationship is the real deal, however, marking Affleck’s first attempt to truly move on since becoming single.
According to court documents, he and Garner filed for joint legal and physical custody of their children, meaning they’ll remain a close part of each other’s lives for a very long time.
That’s sweet, really. And very mature.
“Jen is a superhero mom,” Affleck said earlier this year.
“She is an amazing mother and I’m really lucky to have her as a partner to co-parent these kids with. We try our best, we put them first and that’s what we do.”

Lindsay Lohan: Come On! Stop Bullying Donald Trump!
Lindsay Lohan and Donald Trump have a lot in common.
Both have appeared in movies. Both are considered mentally unstable by a wide swath of well-informed individuals.
And both have been on their knees in front of powerful Russian men over the past year or so.
Lohan, of course, was engaged to Egor Tarabasov for a number of months before that relationship ended on a very sour note… while Trump and Vladimir Putin are friends with many mysterious and frightening benefits.
So it makes sense overall that Lohan would be a pretty big fan of the Commander-in-Chief.
She’ll need someone to executive produce her Russian Netflix series, after all, and Trump may very well soon be in search of a new job.
The troubled actress therefore came to the defense of Trump after someone Tweeted an image of a Breitbart article in which the President said he would be “delighted” to assist Charlie Gard, a critically-ill British baby that the European Court of Human Rights determined was too sick to help with experimental medicine.
Critics acknowledged this was a nice gesture by Trump, but also a rather hollow one.
It’s difficult not to see some irony in Trump’s Gard Tweet when juxtaposed with a health care plan he supports that would take insurance away from 22 million people.
“THIS IS our president,” Lohan Tweeted on Monday in response to the negative attention Trump often received.
She added: “Stop #bullying him & start trusting him. Thank you personally for supporting #THEUSA.”
As you can see abive, Lohan went on to praise the First Family – including First Lady Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump and son Donald Trump Jr. – as “kind people.”
She also asked a profound question as part of her timeline:
“As an American, why speak poorly of anyone?”
That’s a good and fair question. Perhaps she ought to direct it to Donald Trump.
This isn’t the first time ex-Mean Girls star has stood up for the President, either.
During a Facebook Live Q&A session for the Daily Mail in February, she urged Americans to “join” the man who wants to beat and bludgeon reporters.
“I think always in the public eye you’re going to get scrutinized,” she said at the time, adding:
“He is the president – we have to join him. If you can’t beat him, join him.”
Kevin Durant may appreciate and agree with that sentiment, but many lawmakers out there likely read Lohan’s words with a puzzled look on their faces, asking:
Okay, sure. That’s great. But what if we can beat back his wildly legislation? Do we still need to join him?
Back in 2004, Trump spoke to Howard Stern about Lohan.
He agreed with the shock jock’s assessment back then that Lindsay was “hot,” delving deeply into the reason why.
“There’s something there right?” said Trump to Stern. “But you have to like freckles. I’ve seen a, you know, close up of her chest and a lot of freckles.
“Are you into freckles?
This at least explains why Lohan likes Trump so much.
This and what we hinted at strongly at the outset of this post:
Both stars have sucked a great deal of Russian penis.

Lindsay Lohan"s Beach Birthday Celebration Begins Early in Greece
Lindsay Lohan’s getting the party started a little early for her birthday … hitting the beach at one of her favorite spots in Greece. The soon-to-be 31-year-old arrived in Mykonos Thursday and enjoyed a boat ride and a refreshing dip in the sea.…

Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears & Paris Hilton: Epic Reunion in the Works?!
Back in 2007 — which we’re told wasn’t 3 years ago but in fact 10, somehow — Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan had some outrageous misadventures that were impossible to ignore.
Well now it sounds like the dream team is coming back together!
Lindsay Lohan’s birthday party is coming up, and yesterday, she tweeted out this invite with some very recognizable Twitter handles:
“#nicegirls @britneyspears @parishilton come to #mykonos for my birthday this weekend @Beyonce you too”
Beyonce being thrown in there is adorable, but you know what? We’d invite Beyonce to our parties, too.
Keep in mind that this is the same wonderful, terrible trio that brought us Britney’s infamous crotch shot photo and so many more.
This was all, of course, before Britney shaved her head and went through the “descent to the underworld” portion of the archetypal hero’s journey, suffering for the world’s transgressions and then being reborn, more powerful than ever.
It was also before Lindsay Lohan started getting help for her issues. Since then she’s taken a lot of strides herself.
And we’re honestly so proud of her for that.
Paris is and always has been herself, though we’re not sure that she’s ever been truly out-of-control, you know?
The more that you read about Paris Hilton, the more carefully crafted her public image and persona begins to seem.
Plenty of us regular folks invite friends to events over Twitter.
Realistically, though, most celebrities — especially on the level of Britney, Beyonce, Lindsay, and Paris — aren’t going to be making serious plans over a very public social media platform.
Sincere invites are over text messaging or even through assistants, depending on a bunch of factors.
Maybe Lindsay decided to make some sincere invited public, we don’t know.
(Though the grim reality is that Beyonce is too busy with baby twins to go out partying)
(And we somehow don’t picture her calling Becky With The Good Hair to babysit)
So … it’s entirely possible that none of these ladies will show up.
(Tragic)
It’s entirely possible that Lindsay doesn’t expect any of them to.
Beyonce is busy being a mom.
Britney’s also a mom, and hey, isn’t she still touring in Asia?
(That’s rhetorical; Britney is absolutely still touring in Asia)
Though Paris Hilton might always attend. You know, for some reason.
That’s kind of her brand.
No, but for realsies, Paris HIlton has always had a great sense of humor and is way smarter than you might think.
Remember in the 2008 election (remember when that seemed contentious?) when the McCain campaign ran an ad comparing Obama’s popularity with Britney and Paris?
Paris responded with a sarcastic video and then a full music video titled “Paris for President.”
It was kind of the best.
She also played herself — well, a shapeshifted deity that had assumed her form — on Supernatural, back when that show was watchable.
And as far as we know, she’s never raised any objections to the bag merchant NPC in World of Warcraft named Haris Pilton.
Accepting parodies and participating in self-parodies is a clear sign that someone has a great sense of humor and probably isn’t that uptight about people insulting their public persona.
So we super, super hope that she takes Lindsay up on her offer.
Come on, Paris. Do it.
For old times’ sake.
We’re sure that it’ll be a blast, even if we don’t know if Lindsay will have any alcohol on the premises for obvious reasons.
Oh, do you think that Paris will bring her dreamy boyfriend Chris Zylka?
The world’s been kind of obsessed ever since back when he was wearing V-necks on The Secret Circle (making them both CW stars in their own ways), but we wonder if he knows Paris’ old crew at all.
Honestly, you have to love these three ladies.
Through all of their ups and downs, they’ve never stopped being entertainers.
They’ve given us so much.
And they really have suffered for that.
Here’s hoping that, no matter the guest list, Lindsay’s party is a blast.
(But not in a way that threatens, um, anyone’s sobriety)

Leah Block Apologizes For Racist Bachelorette Tweets After Perfect Rachel Lindsay Response
You don’t need The Bachelorette spoilers to tell you that race would somehow come into play this summer on ABC’s reality dating staple.
On cue, The Bachelor contestant Leah Block is apologizing for racist comments she made about the current season this week.
If you didn’t see what she wrote on Twitter, prepare your forehead for the inevitable slap, because it’s very likely happening.
The current season features the franchise’s first African-American lead in Rachel Lindsay, and a much more diverse cast than usual.
With that obvious context, Block tweeted Monday:
“I’m sitting here watching @BacheloretteABC and my roommate just sat down on the couch and said, ‘What is this? @LoveAndHipHop?’ DEAD”
DEAD?
Bachelor Nation didn’t take kindly to the reference – apparently in the pejorative – to the VH1 reality show and its entirely black cast.
One alum, Astrid Loch, asked Block if she was watching with Lee Garrett, one of Lindsay’s suitors who’s been accused of racism himself.
Lindsay then chimed in by responding to Block’s tweet directly, and referencing Garrett, writing, “Let me know if she wants to meet Lee.”
“They sound like they would have a lot in common.”
Wow. After that response from Rachel, Block later deactivated her Twitter account altogether and set her Instagram to private.
All of this took place while topic of race became the center of discussion on Monday’s episode for the first time this season.
“The pressures that I feel being a black woman, and what that is … I don’t want to talk about it,” Lindsay told the producers.
“I get pressured from so many different ways being in this position, and I did not want to get into all of this tonight.”
“I already know what people are going to say about me and that they will judge me for all of the decisions I’m making.”
“I’m going to be the one that has to deal with that – nobody else,” she said, at her wit’s end. “And that’s a lot.”
As for Block, she apparently got the message, and addressed her controversial tweets in a letter to her Facebook Wednesday.
“I come forward honestly and openly, to extend my sincere apology for the tweet from my account on Monday, June 19,” she began.
The tweet in question stemmed, she said, “from a place that humored the failure of representation of minorities in reality TV.”
That wasn’t how it came across, she acknowledges, and instead, she simply “belittled the significance of Rachel’s presence on the show.”
“I acknowledge that entertaining this kind of humor is a passive and careless action that stifles the progress the black community has made.”
“It is vitally important to prioritize these experiences and help destroy the oppressive forces that threaten minority communities.”
“My tweet did neither of those things and I see that as a personal failure [and] in my initial Twitter responses … I was defensive.”
“The attacks directed at me felt to be responses to the epidemic of injustice we have towards individuals of marginalized identities.”
“Especially the black community. I accept responsibility for my ignorance and as I move forward I will engage in these issues.”
That way, she says, “I can become an informed ally who would never consider that tweet to be funny in the first place.”
“Our Society should have no place for hate that targets any minority group,” she concluded on an optimistic, yet concilliatory note.
“We can’t make the future better until we make ourselves better. And I’m starting now. Best of luck to Rachel and her suitors this season.”
Amen to that.

"Bachelorette" Rachel Lindsay Breaks Down Crying Over Race

Lindsay Lohan Stole Thousands in Jewelry From Ex-Boyfriend, Remains Lindsay Lohan
2016 was a magnificent year for alliances between Russia and carrot-colored pop culture relics from bygone decades. Yuuuuge, really.
Unfortunately, some of those partnerships have since fallen on hard times.
It was around this time last year that Lindsay Lohan broke up with Egor Tarabasov, the Russian heir who was supposed to revive her career and turn her into the Grace Kelly of Putin country.
When Lindsay and Egor first began dating, it seemed like a match made in heaven.
Like the nation Egor hails from, Lindsay consumes several million liters of vodka each year and has been the subject of a number of international espionage allegations.
All LiLo and Russia jokes aside, it’s good that Linds was able to get out of her relationship with Egor, as it seemed deeply unhealthy for both parties.
Cheating and abuse allegations were leveled by both sides, and a seriously ugly fight between Lindsay and Egor that was captured on video underscored exactly how explosive the situation had become.
But despite the fact that Linds and Egor are nearing the one-year anniversary of their high-profile breakup, they remain inextricably enmeshed in one another’s lives.
According to Radar Online, Lindsay is currently the subject of three separate investigations involving her alleged theft of tens of thousands in property from Egor.
Sources close to the situation say Lohan was nearly arrested last month on suspicion of stealing over $ 30,000 in belongings from Tarabasov’s home, including a Rolex watch and several pieces of jewelry.
“Egor had been chasing Lindsay for months for the return of his personal belongings, but to no avail,” says a source close to the situation.
“In the end, he felt he had no choice but to go to police and formally accuse her of theft,” the insider adds.
“Lindsay had been in and out of the country, so police initially struggled to pin her down to be interviewed.”
The source claims that it was only by threatening to throw Lindsay in jail that authorities were finally able to get her attention:
“They finally got through to her after sending an email to her publicist, threatening Lindsay with arrest,” the insider says.
“It is fair to say there is no love lost between the two.”
Not surprisingly, Lindsay’s people say it was all a misunderstanding and that she’d simply borrowed some items from Tarabasov’s home and forgotten to give them back.
“Once we were informed and back in the country we happily found the belongings and gave them back. I wish the best for him and hope he can move on in his life,” said a rep for Team Lindsay in a statement issued last week.
We’re not sure who to believe, but the important takeaway here is that involvement with Russian oligarchs can lead to some messy legal situations.
If you know anyone who could benefit from that information, please tweet it along to them.

Bachelorette Spoilers Shocker: Rachel Lindsay Picks WHO?!
The Bachelorette spoilers have once again rocked Bachelor Nation to its core, this time with a twist that makes us question everything.
Each season, without fail, The Bachelorette spoilers emerge before the season ends. In some cases, before it even begins.
This year was no exception. However …
Just as The Man, The Myth, The Bachelorette Spoilers legend known as Reality Steve guaranteed his prediction correct … it was not.
It was not. It was wrong.
Now, we’re told that a different man emerges to win the final rose from Rachel Lindsay, not the frontrunner we initially expected.
How could this be?!
“After looking into it deeper, this time it turns out to be right,” said Steve of those who told him his original spoilers were off the mark.
Give him credit for owning it, and for posting what he claims is correct information now, still an eternity away from the season finale.
“Unfortunately, without compromising sources, I can’t give you specifics” of why he failed, he says, but he insists he’s right now.
As the Oracle of Bachelorette spoilers notes, there’s no point in swearing he’s absolutely, completely positive, or 100 percent sure of it.
That’s what he said before, TBF.
What we originally thought were Rachel’s final three turned out to be accurate, but it’s a change at the end that has changed everything.
Let’s break down her (still accurate) final four and then get down to the business of who Rachel picks vs. who we thought she picked.
1. Dean Unglert (above). This contender is a startup recruiter who we’re told has his mother’s initials tattooed on his chest.
Will he add “RL” ink next?!
2. Bryan Abasolo (above). Dr. Bryan, as he is sometimes referred to, is a 37-year-old chiropractor who has spoken Spanish since childhood.
Talk about a cool skill set.
As Rachel’s first impression rose winner, he would be the third straight recipient to make the winner’s circle, IF he makes it there.
3. Eric Bigger (above). This personal trainer considers himself to be somewhat of a neat freak, but he makes up for it. BIG time.
Dude is jacked out of his mind. Like, he has an eight-pack. No wonder some of the other dudes are feeling threatened by him.
With the ousting of DeMario Jackson, Eric has become the man in the house that stirs the pot and everyone is gunning for.
Should be interesting.
4. Peter Kraus (above). A business owner, Peter previously had relationship problems that led to therapy, according to … him.
Kraus told Rachel about this on an early dates and was told he was “scaring her.” In a good way, because she can so relate.
They bonded immediately and forged a strong emotional connection, which made him a fan favorite among the contenders.
Which three to take on overnights (read: into the Fantasy Suite, and which one to send to their home after hometown dates?
And which two to take to the season finale?
Obviously, there are spoilers below … newly updated and accurate ones. So if you want to remain in suspense, turn back now.
Dean Unglert gets to axe, leaving a final three of Eric Bigger, Peter Kraus and Bryan Abasolo, all of whom meet Rachel’s family.
Now for the confusing part.
According to the original spoilers, it was unclear who made the final two, but Rachel got engaged to Peter Kraus. End of story.
But … yeah. About that …
The long and story of it is that the sources who supplied this story were uncharacteristically wrong, and she is NOT with Peter.
She is with Bryan. Rachel Lindsay is engaged to Dr. Bryan Abasolo, and that’s all she wrote. Come August 7, this is what we’ll see.
How do we know for sure? Obviously, there’s always a sliver of doubt ‘til the finale airs, but for all intents and purposes, Bryan is the guy.
Clearly, with the initial predictions being wrong, the narrative that she’s with Peter has been circulating among fans for weeks on end.
Because of this, expect Rachel-Peter fans to be in denial and/or having anxiety attacks, but don’t expect him to beat Bryan inthe end.
As for who is the next Bachelor, it’s not a stretch to say that Peter is going to be serious candidate if not the odds-on favorite right now.
He’s got a built in fan base and would be a worthy man for the job on merit, so if he wants it, we’d be surprised if he didn’t get it.
That’s months away, however. For now, digest these Bachelorette spoilers and hit the comments below … did she make the right choice?
If you believe the spoilers, that is?!

Lindsay Lohan Launches Jewelry Line, Continues Trying to Make Career Happen
She may not make quite as many tabloid headlines as she used to, but Lindsay Lohan recently entered an interesting new phase in her career.
Apparently deciding that she’s done with Hollywood about a decade after Hollywood decided it was done with her, LiLo has launched a number of new projects that range from baffling to highly illegal.
In the latter category, we have Lohan’s work for the Turkish government.
You read that correctly: Lindsay freakin’ Lohan has spent several months as a paid agent of the Erdogan regime.
That means she’s getting checks from the same folks who paid disgraced former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
Like Flynn, LiLo probably didn’t register as a foreign agent before accepting the gig, but fortunately, federal prosecutors have something in common with casting directors:
Neither group appears to have any interest in Lindsay Lohan.
As part of her continuing effort to rebrand herself as a Jolie-esque citizen of the world, Lindsay is also planning to write and direct a series about Russian oligarchs that she plans to pitch to Netflix.
Should be a breakaway hit.
After all, there are two things America loves in 2017: rich, crazy Russians, and ambitious new projects from Lindsay Lohan.
On top of all of this international intrigue, it seems Lindsay has yet another business venture in the works.
Page Six is reporting that Lindsay is launching a jewelry line sometime in the next few months.
If the words “Lindsay” and “jewelry” in the same sentence send shivers up your spine, there may be good reason for that.
Lindsay was arrested for shoplifting after stealing a necklace in 2011.
Coincidentally, that was the same year that she attempted to launch her first jewelry line with the help of designer Pascal Mouawad.
You might think that would be enough to keep Linds away from the baubles biz for life, but at the same time, it’s been a while since she last received that sort of attention from the tabloid press.
Maybe Lindsay is planning to go on another crime spree as a means of researching her new business.
Just be glad she didn’t decide to simultaneously enter the worlds of top shelf tequila and sports cars.
People in the Greater Los Angeles are already have to check the news for LiLo alerts before they leave the house.

DeMario Jackson: Busted By Girlfriend, ROASTED By Rachel Lindsay on The Bachelorette!
As predicted by The Bachelorette spoilers every season, a contestant came on the ABC dating show for … wait … the wrong reasons.
This is not surprising after 30-plus seasons, but DeMario Jackson upped the ante with the brazen nature of his motives and deception.
DeMario, a 30-year-old executive recruiter from Century City, Calif., had just finished impressing The Bachelorette star with his balling.
On the court, that is. Turns out he was balling a girl back home, though … for seven months … until days before he went on the show!
Oh yes. And Lexi, the scorned girlfriend DeMario apparently ghosted before wooing Rachel, showed up on The Bachelorette to tell him off.
It was pretty much awesome.
In an incredible scene (above, in all its glory), Lexi told Rachel that she’s dating DeMario – or was, right up until he mysteriously bailed.
There was no breakup, either. This was ghosting at its finest … dude abruptly cut off communication, then went on a reality TV show!!
Lexi says she got wind of this only when DeMario appeared on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose special following Nick Viall’s season.
In a franchise first, Rachel got to meet some of the men from her season before the premiere taped; DeMario was one of those chosen.
Suffice it to say, Lexi was pissed.
Having coordinated this with the producers ahead of time, they made sure cameras were rolling for one of the all-time Bachelor scandals.
A scorned Lexi promptly called DeMario “trash” and “a piece of s–t” … as Jackson awkwardly pretended not to know his own girlfriend.
When that lie didn’t work, he pivoted to calling her “crazy and “psycho” and alleged that it was just an on-again, off-again fling a while ago.
That didn’t pass muster either.
Lexi showed Rachel Lindsay some text messages on her phone that proved DeMario was indeed with Lexi right before filming began.
Pressed to explain the nature of their relationship, he asked to talk about this off camera (request denied) then squirmed … and squirmed.
It was cringe-worthy to watch.
Eventually, he conceded that he had “sexual intercourse” with Lexi, after which Rachel kicked him to the curb in demonstrative fashion.
“You don’t make sense right now,” The Bachelorette star told DeMario. “I don’t know her, but to be honest, I don’t know you either.”
When he said he wanted to be there, she responded, “I believe you want to be here … I just don’t think you want to be here for me.”
“So let me tell you something.”
“I’m not here to be played,” she said. “I’m not here to be made a joke of, which is what I feel like you’re doing right now with me.”
“So I’m really going to need you to get the f–k out. I don’t like being f–king embarrassed, like, I can’t even look at you right now.”
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMN!!
DeMario got the message and sheepishly departed, only to return to the mansion and ask security to speak with her later that night.
The other men recoiled at this.
Upset that anyone would pull such a stunt on two women, and take away screen time from them for that matter, they were all livid.
Jackson, one Bachelorette suitor said, is about to “get his ass whooped” if he tries to show his face in the Bachelor house again.
Will that happen, though?
Next week, we’ll witness the resumption of this incident and see exactly what he had to say, but expect a lot of chest-puffing and bleeping.

Rachel Lindsay on The Bachelorette Proposal: I"m Not Supposed to Talk About This, But ...
You don’t need to read The Bachelorette spoilers to know that this season has already been one of historic firsts for the ABC franchise.
Rachel Lindsay is its first African-American star.
She is also the oldest, at the age of 31.
She was the first Bachelorette to be announced before the season of The Bachelor was over … and before she was eliminated from it.
Why should fans expect things to be any different now that the beautiful, charming and funny Dallas lawyer has taken over the reins?
As such, Lindsay can’t help but gush about her recent engagement on The Bachelorette … even though doing so is a major shift in protocol.
“I am a rule breaker. But, I mean, I am so excited,” Lindsay told ET. “I cannot stop smiling, and normally I have a good poker face.”
“But not with this. This is new to me. I have never been engaged before and [the ABC powers that be] were like, ‘Just say it!"”
“I think [the decision to share] was kind of mutual.”
“They are like, ‘You know what? Just do it, because I think a lot of people will be more invested to know this worked for her.”
“You know, she so was not a believer. [She was] hopeful, but it actually happened.’ And so I think people will really, like, tap into that.”
Plus, “I love saying I have a fiance!” she added.
As for who that lucky man is? Don’t expect to know right off the bat, she says (seemingly unaware that Bachelorette spoilers exist).
“You won’t be able to figure it out. Like, you will see me go along and struggle with it and back and forth and it was a hard decision for me.”
“So I think that the way that I fell in love with him, America will too. I’m so excited, it’s just exuding from me … I can’t hide it!”
Lindsay said that the man of the hour “asked my parents, he got down on one knee … yes, all the traditional things happened.”
Rachel says she’s wearing a temporary engagement ring in public lately, because, “You got to be surprised with the Neil Lane bling.”
We’re guessing it won’t be small. No spoiler alert needed for that one. As for whether she’s already in wedding planning mode?
“I’m focused on the engagement right now. I think I want a big family, I have a huge family and I want everyone to come,” she said.
“I wouldn’t throw [the idea of a TV wedding] out. I am willing to do it,” Rachel adds, though that’s putting the cart before the horse.
Before we even get to meet her fiance, there are two dozen men left vying for her heart and over two months of TV drama to come.
Who stood out on The Bachelorette season premiere this past Monday night? Lucas, a.k.a. Whaboom himself … for better or worse.
“In his defense, I said I wanted to be entertained, and I think the guys got the memo with that,” Lindsay said, diplomatically.
“So, you know, everyone had their own interpretation of that [directive] and his was in Whaboom-style. But he was interesting.”
“I gave him points for being different, and so now, I just want to get to know Lucas. You’ll get to see how that all plays out.”
Bryan snagged himself a rather hot first kiss with Lindsay, despite her claims that she was not going to kiss on the first night.
Rule breaking once again!
Says Lindsay of that romantic moment:
“I said, ‘I’m not going to kiss the first night,’ and no one tried except for Bryan. And he tried in the most passionate way and I just embraced it.”
“I said, ‘You know what? He’s bold enough to do it, I’m going to go for it,’ and I’m glad I did, because it was a really good kiss.”
Peter also made a good impression:
“He walked out of the limo and I said, ‘OK.’ I mean, he is very, very handsome, and, you know, we had the same smile and he was nervous.”
“That’s what I appreciated.”
Then there’s Jonathan, a.k.a. The Tickle Monster. “I laughed the hardest the whole night with Jonathan, because he tickled me! I’m ticklish.”
“So, I mean, it was weird, it was different, but I laughed. I was entertained and there’s more to Jonathan. I mean, he is a doctor.”
Rachel cops to kissing more than one guy on the same group date at one point, as well as saying “I love you” to two different people.
Don’t expect smooth sailing, in other words. As for the million-dollar question, this attorney is pleading the fifth, so don’t bother.
Whatever happens, or doesn’t, in the Fantasy Suite stays there, people. Unless you’re Nick Viall and talk about lovemaking.
Anyway, it’s “the end” that Lindsay said Bachelor Nation should really watch out for – and we won’t be disappointed either.
“Its a journey,” she revealed.
“Yeah, it’s a journey.”
We can’t wait.
