There have been so many tributes on social media this week and this, from Annie Potts to Tim Curry, is a heart squeeze.
It was Blake Lively’s birthday two days ago and then another legal announcement (Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer are ordered to pay $400k in legal fees, out of the $8 million she was asking for). Online the sentiment is that this is the never-ending legal saga, particularly after the case was settled and she appeared at the MET Gala. So is this the end of It Ends With Us? Likely yes, between Lively, Wayfarer and Baldoni. But Lively and Jed Wallace, the Texas-based owner of a crisis management and digital media firm, are still tangled up in court – he sued her for defamation, then she sued him for allegedly being part of the smear campaign. As much as people are sick of hearing about it, these cases are pretty legally significant and complex. And expensive.
Vanity Fair has released its Best Dressed list and honestly, not a lot to fight about. I see the vision. Look at Jacob Elordi in his c-nty little jacket.
Sunny Hostin has licensed her image to an AI company, as well as an agreement to adapt her books. I wonder if this will come up on The View. She is not the first to do it but to date, she’s one of the biggest names attached to an AI partnership in this way.
