Hollywood Buzz:
BEN AFFLECK says he still keeps in touch with several of his exes, especially JENNIFER LOPEZ . . . quote, "We don't have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice, but we do have the kind of relationship where there'll be an e-mail saying, 'Oh, your movie looks great.'" He also still sees MATT DAMON, quote, "almost too often."
ALEX KARRAS . . . the NFL great who went on to play EMMANUEL LEWIS' adopted dad on the '80s sitcom "Webster" . . . died of kidney failure yesterday. He was 77. Karras also battled dementia in his later years, and was among thousands of former players who sued the NFL for concussion-related injuries. He's survived by his wife SUSAN CLARK . . . who played his wife on "Webster" . . . and their daughter.
Busy weekend! JACK OSBOURNE had a busy weekend in Hawaii. He got married . . . celebrated his mom SHARON'S 60th birthday . . . AND he saved a woman's life. Jack and a friend were at the beach when they saw a woman in distress in the ocean, and raced to her rescue. Jack's new wife Lisa Tweeted, quote, "Really proud of Jack and his friend Tyler who saved a woman on the beach yesterday who'd had a heart attack and [drowned]. They resuscitated her until the ambulance came. We just found out she's in a stable condition! Awesome!"
During JUSTIN BIEBER'S gig in Tacoma, Washington on Tuesday, someone stole a computer and a camera from him. And he's not happy about it. He Tweeted, quote, "sucks when u take personal footage and people dont respect your privacy . . . yesterday during the show me and my tour manager josh had some stuff stolen. really sucks. people should respect other's property." Then he added, quote, "i had a lot of personal footage on that computer and camera and that is what bothers me the most. #lame #norespect" There's no word what this "personal footage" is, but it's probably not anything bad, or it's not likely Justin would be Tweeting about it. Meanwhile . . . Justin was the victim of one of those "swatting" pranks. Someone alerted police at about 2:00 A.M. Wednesday that there was an individual waving a gun near Justin's L.A. home. Police sent cars, helicopters and other emergency vehicles to sweep the area. They found nothing.
There's still no definitive word on whether a "Jurassic Park 4" will get made. But several years ago, it almost went into production . . . and it could have been CRAZY. The script at the time featured someone getting funky with the dinosaur DNA and creating HUMAN-DINOSAUR HYBRIDS. The filmmakers were serious enough about the concept to work up some sketches of the monsters. And someone even did a sculpture of one of them.
he "National Enquirer" claims someone is threatening to KIDNAP seven-year-old ALANA THOMPSON, the star of TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo". Her family doesn't know if it's a serious threat . . . but they're not taking any chances. They've hired a full-time bodyguard . . . and supposedly want to move to a nicer area.
Did you catch The Price is Right yesterday? The first ever male model debuted for the lady's eye pleasure.
Random Fun:
When MITT ROMNEY name-checked BIG BIRD at the debate last week, he inadvertently CHANGED HALLOWEEN. Immediately after the debate, the website CostumeCraze.com saw a 500% sales bump in their "Sexy Big Bird" costume. It features a yellow, feathered tank top and skirt, purple and orange socks, and a hat that looks like the top of Big Bird's head.
