Summary

Richies, we didn’t see this coming. Blake Lively just scored a huge court win. She and her former “It Ends with Us” director/co-star Justin Baldoni have been in a bitter legal battle since January. But just this week, a judge dismissed Justin’s multi-million dollar suit against Blake, husband Ryan Reynolds, and the New York Times. After we break down that legal decision, we’re filling you in on the (maybe one-sided) feud between Broadway icons Audra McDonald and Patti LuPone…and how that beef maybe got some airtime on Sunday’s Tony Awards. And speaking of feuds, we have the latest on the bad blood that’s allegedly boiling between members of the Beckham Bunch.
