We caught up with the "Girls Trip" star at LAX and she told us all about her music and her plans for the future.

Ben Affleck Downplays Matching w/ 'SS' Star ... Raya Activity Old News

Published | Updated
UPDATE

12:57 PM PT -- It appears Ben Affleck may, in fact, have matched with Emma after all on Raya a while ago -- because People Mag has updated their headline to more closely reflect what his camp actually said about the alleged exchange ... namely, not necessarily denying they matched at all, but simply downplaying it by noting he hasn't been on the dating app in forever. Noted.

UPDATE

8:29 AM PT -- Sources close to Emma tell TMZ ... they believe Ben's "denial" is not a denial at all because they are not saying he never hit her up ... they're just saying he hasn’t been on Raya for years. We are told Emma insists Ben did hit her up on Raya back in 2019.

Ben Affleck has a very different recollection of hitting up a "Selling Sunset" star on Raya ... as in no recollection, because he says it's BS.

'SS's Emma Hernan claimed on the latest installment of the series ... she matched with Ben on the dating platform, but Ben's rep told PEOPLE it just ain't true.

Apparently, Ben's not been active on the exclusive dating app for several years, before he hooked up with J Lo for round 2 of their romance.

As for Hernan ... she tells Chrishell Stause on the show, "Remember when Ben Affleck went viral because he sent some girl ... He may or may not have been texting me ... He may or may not have asked me to grab coffee a few times. I didn't go."

Well, Ben's people say she didn't go because she wasn't asked.

The two looked good on their romantic night out -- Allen was in a black jacket and maroon pants, while Williams stunned in a hot pink mini skirt and heels.

Allen didn't answer the photogs' questions as he strolled into dinner ... but it seems clear, he's moving past Buffalo's super disappointing January playoff loss to the Chiefs.

Allen's been vacationing with Williams -- who he's dated since before his NFL career -- in Cali the last couple weeks, enjoying the offseason and getting over that epic overtime game in Kanas City.

There's only a few weeks left until Josh has to head back to Buffalo to prep for the 2022 season ... so, keep enjoyin' that time off!

Published | Updated

"Love Is Blind" stars Kyle Abrams and Deepti Vempati are being coy on whether they're dating, but there are plenty of breadcrumbs in this video suggesting that is indeed the case.

Deepti and Kyle hit up Craig's in WeHo Wednesday night, and our photog zeroed in and asked if they were dating. Check out Kyle's reaction, both visual and verbal. When someone asks 2 people if they're dating and they're not, would they really say "great question?"

And, as long as we're on the subject, our photog follows up with a question about the possibility of marriage in their future. Again, if they weren't dating, would they really say ... "We'll see," and "We'll consider it?"

STUCK IN THE PAST

Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, just went off on Cam Newton over the comments he made about women this week ... blasting the guy for his "foolish" and "tired" remarks.

Just two days after Cam said he believed a real woman should "cater to a man's needs" and know how to cook and "when to be quiet" ... Kayla shaded the hell out of the former NFL star.

CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS

She ripped him for appearing to define a woman's worth by her abilities in the kitchen and her willingness to "allow a man to lead" -- eviscerating him in a video on her Instagram page.

"This man said that you need to be able to cook and know when to be quiet," Kayla said. "Because that's what his momma did. Like, boy! Go date your momma then!"

The Chiefs star's GF explained her beef with Cam further in a series of tweets on her Twitter account ... calling Cam a straight-up "bozo" for his comments.

"Pretty sure the average woman is capable of making edible food," Kayla said. "How do you think she’s survived thus far?"

"It's really not a matter of can she cook -- it's more like does she want to cook for your hungry hippo ass."

Kayla -- who's been dating Kelce since 2017 -- then poked fun at Cam for currently being without an NFL team ... saying, "He has nothing but time to 'be quiet' and get that ass in the kitchen."

Cam, meanwhile, has yet to try to clarify his comments.

TRULY WISHING THE BEST

Kim Kardashian just wants Kanye West to be happy ... and believes his new GF is a great thing in his life so long as he's enjoying his time with her.

Cam Newton Women Should 'Cater To A Man's Needs' ... 'Know When To Be Quiet'

CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS

Cam Newton believes women should cater to a man's needs ... saying his ideal partner should know how to cook and when to be quiet -- and, yeah, he's now he's facing serious backlash.

The NFL quarterback made the controversial comments on Barstool Sports' "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast this week ... when he opened up about being raised in a household by his mother, father, and grandmother.

Newton says his experiences at home helped him understand the difference between a "woman" and a "bad bitch" -- explaining he believes the latter is not something women should strive for.

"A woman for me is handling your own, but knowing how to cater to a man's needs," Cam said on the pod. "I think a lot of times, when you get that aesthetic of like, 'I'm a boss bitch, I'm a this, I'm a that,' -- no, baby. But you can't cook."

"You don’t know when to be quiet. You don’t know how to allow a man to lead."

Cam insisted on the show that he was not trying to "beat up my queens" with his statements ... but he called for "men to start being men, bro."

"That sucka s*** should not be rewarded."

As you could imagine, Cam's comments did not go over well on social media ... with many calling the words sexist and misogynistic.

Of course, it's not the first time he's been called out for remarks about women ... back in 2017, Cam was criticized for laughing at a female reporter's question during a press conference and saying, "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes."

Cam later apologized for his words, but not before he lost a major sponsorship with Oikos yogurt.

Newton is currently a free agent -- he started 5 games for the Carolina Panthers in 2021, going 0-5.

Kim K & Pete Davidson I Can't Get Enough of You!!! Double Date with Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are clearly two peas in a pod, but they made some extra room for date night with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

The four got together Monday night in West Hollywood, hitting A.O.C. (no, not the politician) for dinner. On the way out -- Kim and Pete were looking real cozy, hugging each other and tied to the hip. It's kind of funny to see how focused the cameras were on the two while Jeff and Lauren simply trailed in the background.

Here's another interesting tidbit ... Pete drove Kim home in her Maybach whereas Jeff and Lauren had some drivers/bodyguards take them home.

As we reported ... the four of them are getting pretty tight of late. Kim and Pete had dinner at Jeff's pad not too long ago, which resulted in PD getting tapped to ride into space on one of Jeff's rockets. Unfortunately, that whole plan fizzled ... and Pete dropped out of the flight.

Still, it would appear the four of them stay in touch and obviously hang out. Talk about friends in high places!

"The Kardashians" Hulu show has taken over Hollywood -- shutting down several blocks for premiere night -- featuring Kim, Pete, Kourtney, Travis, Kylie, Khloe, Kris and more.

The whole thing went down at Goya Studios Thursday where a select number of guests were invited to hang with the family, watch the first episode from the upcoming series and get eyes on a couple super-loved-up couples.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davison showed up together, though he allowed her to walk the carpet by herself while he waited at the end. In their normal style, Travis and Kourtney couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Kim was dressed in a latex dress exclusively designed by Manfred Thierry Mugler, created jus before his death.

As for the episode -- you can tell Hulu stepped up production -- from the opening drone scene to the cutaway interviews ... it all seems like a step-up from 'KUWTK.'

The premiere's main storyline follows Kim's 'SNL' announcement, along with family reactions and how she planned to do her opening monologue. She talks about Kanye a lot, and it was clearly a time when the two had a solid relationship, as she even ponders bringing him to 'SNL' as her musical guest.

The episode wrapped with thunderous applause from the couple hundred in attendance, and after, guests were treated to drinks -- featuring Kendall's 818 Tequila -- and bites including chicken sandwiches, poke bowls and desserts.
