Today we break down the latest twist in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni saga — and believe it or not, there may finally be a couple of points they actually agree on. We also look at what this means for creators who were accused of being immoral along the way, as some long-overdue justice starts to swing back in their direction.
Plus: Dame Judi Dench shocks Hollywood by saying she wants Harvey Weinstein released from prison (yes, really). Donald Trump torches Marjorie Taylor Greene over her tense 60 Minutes interview. And Leonardo DiCaprio nabs TIME's Entertainer of the Year, solidifying his place at the top of the industry.
Fast, fiery, and full of everything breaking this afternoon — let's get into it.
