EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are allegedly ‘texting each other again’. Would you ever leave the woman alone, Brad?

A source has revealed that Brad ‘reached out’ to Jennifer amid his divorce from Angelina Jolie, tracking down her number through a “tangled web of contacts” to wish her happy birthday on February 11.

Brad told her he’s having a hard time with his split and they exchanged a few texts reminiscing about the past. Justin [Theroux, Jennifer's husband] is OK with them being friends. Jen just wants to be nice.

Nice? Tell him to sling his hook. (Us Weekly)

Casey Affleck has spoken about the sexual harassment allegations against him for the first time since his Oscar win.

Affleck has been accused of harassing two women who worked on his documentary I’m Still Here, with one claiming she woke up to find him in bed next to her – you can read a full account of the allegations here.

In an interview with the Boston Globe, he said both sides are forbidden to comment on the case, but added:

I believe any kind of mistreatment of anyone for any reason is unacceptable and abhorrent, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace and anywhere else.

There’s really nothing I can do about it. Other than live my life the way I know I live it and to speak to what my own values are and how I try to live by them all the time.

HMM. (Boston Globe)

A bit of politically charged news this morning – the widow of Beau Biden (late son of Joe Biden) is now going out with his brother, Hunter Biden. Whew.

Beau passed away in May 2015 after suffering from brain cancer, leaving behind his wife Hallie and their two children, Natalie and Hunter (yes, also Hunter).

Hunter separated from his wife Kathleen five months after his brother’s death, but it is not clear if they have yet filed for divorce.

In a statement released to Page Six, Joe Biden confirmed the relationship and gave his blessing to the couple:

We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jill’s full and complete support and we are happy for them.
