A
fter three trips to rehab,
Ben Affleck is trying to
make up for lost time by
buying his kids everything
under the sun. The actor
“has always been a big spender,” claims
a pal, but recently he’s going overboard
treating Violet, 13, Seraphina, 10, and
Samuel, 7, to huge shopping sprees. “He
buys them stacks of books, games, puzzles,
sports equipment — even toys and treats
for the dog,” dishes the friend. “It’s not like
he can’t afford it, and it makes him happy
to spoil his family.” The Justice League
star has also extended his generosity to
ex Jennifer Garner, lavishing her with
expensive housewarming gifts for her
new pad. Though Jen’s appreciative of his
gestures, “she’s telling Ben they don’t need
all of this,” adds the pal. “She’s the least
materialistic of people and she’s raising her
kids to be the same.”Out with the old and in with the new: Months
after Kylie Jenner cut ties with Jordyn Woods,
the makeup mogul seems to have made a new
bestie: Scott Disick’s girlfriend, Sofia Richie!
“They’ve always run in the same circles, but
recently they’ve really bonded,” a source shares
of the two, who’ve been sharing plenty of pics
from their girls’ nights on Instagram. “They have
so much in common since they’re almost the
same age. They talk about fashion, boys, you
name it.” But there’s still a risk
their newfound friendship
may go up in flames. “If
anything bad were to
happen between Sofia
and Kourtney, Kylie would
have to pick a side,” notes
the source. “And Kourt
expects unconditional
loyalty from her sisters.”KYLIE & SOFIA

“Jen wants Ben to
understand that quality
time with their brood
goes further than
pricey gifts,” states
the friend.Jessica Albais keeping things
real! According to an insider,
the actress turned entrepreneur
is preparing to launch a project
with her Honest Beauty company, and
she’s spreading the word that stick-thin
models need not apply. “She’s doing
what a lot of her rivals have been afraid
to do — working with curvy and plus-
size models and avoiding Photoshop
and other airbrushing tricks,” explains
the insider. It’s a personal mission for
Jessica, who recently revealed that
she felt “ashamed” of her curves
when she was growing up. And
now that she’s a boss lady, she’s
determined to empower women
to embrace their bodies, no
matter their size. “She wants to
do things right,” adds the insider.
It’s one small step forward, in her view.”
You go, girl!SPOILING
