JENNIFER Garner just showed how much she still cares for estranged husband Ben Affleck by driving him to a treatment center last Wednesday. This came days after Affleck was photographed spending time with Playboy model Shauna Sexton. Garner and Affleck remain cordial after announcing their split in 2015. They have three children together: Violet, Serafina and Samuel. “Jen told the kids that Ben is sick and needs help from a doctor,” a source told E! News. “It’s extremely sad and disappointing that this has happened again, but she will continue to be there for him and not turn her back.”

Tyler to Trump: Stop using Aerosmith music

AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler is again demanding that President Donald Trump stop using the band’s songs at rallies. Tyler’s attorney sent a cease-and-desist letter to the president, a day after the song “Livin’ on the Edge” was heard at a Trump rally in West Virginia. It’s not the first time Tyler has asked Trump to stop using Aerosmith songs. Tyler sent the Trump campaign two cease-and-desist letters in 2015 for its use of the band’s music. The latest letter says by using “Livin’ on the Edge,” the president “is falsely implying that our client, once again, endorses his campaign and/or his presidency.” Tyler tweeted it isn’t a political issue, he just does not let anyone use his songs without permission.
