After 24 hours of dismissal motions, accusations of doubling crossing, stay denials and more, the multi-pronged legal trench warfare between It Ends With Us stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has gone to Def Con One – at least according to Bryan Freedman.
“Ms. Lively’s recent motion to dismiss herself from the self-concocted disaster she initiated is one of the most abhorrent examples of abusing our legal system,” the eminently quotable litigator said after the Gossip Girl alum filed paperwork in federal court on March 20 to get the matter tossed in federal court.
Joining her hubby Ryan Reynolds, the New York Times and PR boss Leslie Sloane in wanting out of Baldoni’s $400 million defamation and extortion complaint, the sexual harassment and “astroturfing” relation claiming Lively and her Willkie Farr & Gallagher Llp and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips lawyers assert the Jane the Virgin vet is actually prevented by a 2023 California law from going after her.

We probably don’t need to tell you that 2024 was a banner year for Jake Paul.
After months of hype, Jake stepped into the ring with Mike Tyson for what might’ve been the biggest event in Netflix history.
The fight itself wasn’t much to write home about — the combatants mostly just danced around each other, and technical issues interrupted the stream for millions of viewers — but both Paul and Tyson were handsomely rewarded for their efforts.

Jake was paid a reported $40 million for the fight, while Iron Mike received a comparatively paltry $20 million.
Seems a bit backward to us, but we don’t make the rules!

Mike Tyson won’t face off against Jake Paul in the boxing ring until 8:00 pm tonight.
But the mismatched opponents offered an unexpected preview of the bout when they came to blows at their final weigh-in.
Yes, Iron Mike stunned the crowd when he slapped Jake in the face during what was supposed to be a routine press event.

Tensions between these two have been heating up for a while (or at least they’ve done a good job of pretending they hate each other in order to drum up publicity).
But even so, the move came as a total shock. The question now is …
Why Did Mike Tyson Slap Jake Paul?

In one sense, Taylor Swift has bad news for fans:
The Eras Tour will soon be coming to an end.
In another sense, however, Taylor Swift has amazing news for fans:
The Eras Tour can soon last forever!

Over Instagram on Tuesday, the iconic singer told fans that she’ll be releasing a 256-page hardcover book next month that chronicles her record-shattering global tour.
She also confirmed that folks will eventually be able to purchase physical editions of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.
“We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend,” Swift wrote on October 15.
“This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way.

Two decades ago, there were no bigger names in music than Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.
Their individual and unique powerhouse vocals flooded the airwaves and captivated and entire generation that still loves them to this day.
On Sunday, fans tuned in for the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special. The night kicked off with Mariah Carey performing hits from one of her greatest albums, The Emancipation of Mimi.
Later on, Jennifer Hudson took the stage to honor 22-time Ama winner Whitney Houston with a moving performance tribute.
But this was a mistake. It should’ve been Mariah performing the tribute, in order to finally put to rest years of rumors that the divas never really liked each other.
When in fact, they were actually each other’s biggest fans.

According to insiders, Taylor Swift is taking personal responsibility for Travis Kelce’s weight and overall physical condition.
As we previously reported, Kelce has struggled a bit on the field this season.
His Kansas City Chiefs are currently the only undefeated team in the AFC, but Kelce has not been his usual dominant presence in any of their four games.

Now, with star wide receiver Rashee Rice possibly out for the season, Kelce will need to step his game up if the Chiefs hope to continue their winning streak.
And Taylor intends to help him do exactly that.

The Kansas City Chiefs extended their winning streak to four games on Sunday, but once again, Taylor Swift was not in attendance.
When Taylor missed last week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, fans were hopeful that her hiatus from the bleachers would be a short one.
After all, the pop icon owns a house in Beverly Hills, so LA’s SoFi Stadium isn’t much of a trek for her.

But alas, Taylor was absent for the second week in a row. And fans are beginning to wonder if something is amiss.
Taylor Swift Misses Second Consecutive Chiefs Game
With seven receptions for 89 yards, Travis certainly made his presence known on Sunday.

A new NFL season is upon us, which means it’s time for another round of sports media’s most infuriating game, “Travis Kelce is struggling, and it’s all Taylor Swift’s fault.”
Yes, after three games, Travis has yet to put in the type of dominant performance that Kansas City Chiefs’ fans have come to expect from their favorite tight end.
Of course, there are likely many factors at play there, not the least of which is the fact that Kelce will turn 35 next month.

Taylor Swift skipped Sunday night’s Kansas City Chiefs game against the Atlanta Falcons. It’s the first game she’s missed this season.
Obviously, as possibly the most famous person on the planet, Taylor has a very busy schedule.
But she very rarely misses an opportunity to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, dismantle opposing defenses.

Last night’s outing wasn’t exactly a career game for Kelce, who managed just four catches for thirty yards.
But the Chiefs managed to pull out a close 22-17 prime-time win on the road against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons.

Will Travis Kelce be skipping the 2024 VMAs, or will he take time out of his schedule to support Taylor Swift?

This season’s biggest names hail from the The Bachelor franchise, the Olympics, and the house of Tori Spelling.
But Anna Delvey has a very different claim to fame. She’s a fake socialite. She’s a fraudster. And she went to prison on a larceny conviction. Now, she and her ankle monitor, which is all anyone is talking about, will be on DWTS.

The latest grifter to get the onscreen treatment is none other than fake heiress Anna Delvey - born Anna Sorokin - an NYC "socialite" who stole money from her friends to keep up with her fake, lavish lifestyle.
Shonda Rhimes snagged the rights to the New York Magazine story about Sorokin along with a bountiful Netflix deal, so while we await actress Julia Garner's take on Sorokin/Delvey in the upcoming series "Inventing Anna" (set to release on Feb. 11), it's time we catch up on where, exactly, the real NYC con artist has been since her scams fell through.
