Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner raised a few eyebrows on Friday when they were photographed out together in Los Angeles, not just because of the reunion itself, but because they turned up wearing virtually identical outfits.

Both the 53-year-old actor and his 54-year-old ex-wife stepped out in light blue sweaters and jeans, a coincidence that photographers captured and Just Jared published on 22 May. 

Whether it was planned or simply one of those uncanny co-parenting moments, it made for a charming set of pictures.

The pair have come a long way since their separation in 2015, which ended a decade of marriage and a relationship that had its roots in Hollywood long before that. 

They first met on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2000, reconnected while filming Daredevil in 2003, and began dating in 2004 before marrying the following year. 

Together they have three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.

Affleck told The New York Times in 2020 that the divorce remained his biggest regret. “Shame is really toxic. There is no positive by-product of shame,” he said. 

Garner has been equally candid. 

“The actual breaking up of a family is what was hard,” she told Marie Claire UK earlier this year. “Losing a true partnership and friendship is what was hard.”

A United Airlines flight from Newark Liberty International Airport was forced to divert on Thursday, May 21, after an unruly passenger allegedly attempted to open a plane door while the aircraft was at 36,000 ft.

The United Airlines flight 1551, a Boeing 737 Max 8 with an estimated 145 passengers and 6 crew members on board, departed Newark at approximately 7 p.m., bound for Guatemala City, according to United Airlines officials. However, the plane was “forced to land at Washington Dulles International Airport due to a disturbance by one of its passengers.”

The air traffic control audio revealed a tense exchange between officials. A crew member confirmed that the passenger tried to open “Door 2L at 36,000 ft.”

Later, he also assaulted another person on board.

According to United Airlines, the flight touched down safely and was “met by law enforcement.” The person responsible for the disturbance is under arrest by the authorities.

The flight was later cancelled following the incident. United Airlines announced that passengers were provided overnight accommodations and that a new flight departed on Friday morning.

As per the FAA’s rules, the agency can impose up to $43,658 per violation.

One event can lead to several violations being committed. It is not known at this point if the passenger will be charged criminally.

This incident comes after several others involving United Airlines’ planes from Newark. This was due to a complaint by passengers who were left stranded on one of the airline’s planes in Newark, bound for Chicago, for about seven hours.

Pop star Britney Spears was driving erratically and speeding when she was pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence in California in March, according to police records and video from the scene.

An investigation report obtained and reviewed by CBS News said that Spears was drifting between lanes on U.S. 101 when she was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol. It took her 15 seconds to respond to commands to pull over, police said. When she rolled down the window to speak to police, the reporting officer noted “the distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from” the vehicle.

Spears argued with police for about 10 minutes before getting out of the car, according to the investigation report. Dashboard camera footage showed Spears telling police she “did not like” the order to exit the vehicle. At one point, she said she did not want to get out of her car because of traffic on the highway. When the officers offered to drive her around a corner, she again refused and asked if they could come to her home.

“I’ll make you food or lasagna, whatever you want. I have a pool,” Spears can be heard saying. She later says that she is “totally fine” and able to drive. 

When she exited the car, she appeared visibly unsteady and exhibited “rapid and slurred” speech, according to the reporting officer. The officer also noted that Spears exhibited “dramatic mood swings” during their interaction and that she occasionally spoke with a British accent.

Spears told officers she had a mimosa about six hours earlier, and said that she did not feel at all intoxicated. 

“I could probably drink four bottles of wine and take care of you. I’m an angel,” Spears told the officer, according to the report. She also said she had taken Lamictal, a medication used to treat bipolar disorder. 

When police searched her vehicle, they found a bottle of Adderall that was not prescribed to Spears and a wine glass in the front cupholder. Spears was arrested on suspicion of driving while drinking and using drugs. 

Two Breathalyzer exams taken about an hour after Spears was pulled over showed she had a blood alcohol level of 0.06% and 0.05%, according to the report. Blood was also drawn to test for drugs. The results of the drug test were not included in the report. 

Spears was released the morning after her arrest, according to inmate records reviewed by CBS News. In a statement to CBS News, a representative for Spears referred to the incident as “unfortunate” and “completely inexcusable.” She pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving earlier this month, and was sentenced to 12 months probation, avoiding jail time.

Spears voluntarily checked herself into rehab in April, a spokesperson told CBS Los Angeles.
