Justin's 'Training' Joke Comes Back to Haunt Him Amid Lawsuit
Justin Baldoni’s It Ends With Us drama just got messier than a CW finale.
A resurfaced on-set clip shows him telling Blake Lively, “I think it’s pretty hot. S---,” before pointing out something in her teeth and joking, “Sorry, I missed the sexual harassment training.”
His lawyer is claiming the “s---” remark “was entirely unremarkable” since Blake was in a fleece onesie – not “scantily clad.”
The video is now folded into Blake’s sexual-harassment lawsuit, as Justin’s team argues: “She herself added to the script, in which her character kissed Baldoni’s character in every take, although there was no kiss in the script.” Blake’s lawyers counter they have “extensive evidence of retaliation” linked to “negative content” allegedly pushed about her.
With a March trial ahead, Justin’s attorney says they “remain fully committed” to pursuing the truth. See you then.
Leaked Email Says Epstein Once Got Way Too Close to Princess Diana
Jeffrey Epstein’s name-dropping reach just hit royal levels.
Newly released emails claim Princess Diana, King Charles, and Queen Camilla all turned up in the late pedophile’s inbox – including a jaw-dropping draft bio saying “Jeffrey Epstein is sitting with his arm around Princess Diana at a dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in London” as she donned her iconic “revenge” dress. Another draft softened it, saying she merely sat beside him.
The 2015 emails reveal Epstein was even asked to fact-check the Diana encounter… but never replied. And author Michael Wolff piled on, alleging, “They had a competition, Trump and Epstein… of who would be the one, the first one to sleep with Princess Diana?”
Ghislaine Maxwell piled on in a recorded interview, claiming Epstein “met and knew some truly fancy people” in London and was set to meet Diana through Rose Monckton – though she wouldn’t touch whether Diana was being “set up as a date.”
Even Maxwell knows that’s radioactive territory.
Ivanka Hits Miami Waves in a Mini Dress — Of Course
Ivanka Trump just turned Surfside into her own fashion runway, paddleboarding solo in a black mini dress, visor, and sleek ponytail – topped with a dainty gold Van Cleef necklace.
The outing follows her birthday look: a bodycon dress with a jewel-encrusted plunging neckline. Her NYC bash got the caption, “A belated birthday celebration under the NYC lights with my favorite girls,” prompting fan squeals like “So beautiful you all!!” and “Stunning dress🌟🌟beautiful ladies✨✨.”
She marked 44 by reflecting on what she’s “learned, earned,” and reminding followers: “Family remains the heartbeat of my life.” Kim Kardashian even chimed in with, “Happiest birthday to the smartest, kindest woman I know!” as Ivanka showed off her “beautiful” birthday bouquets.
The queen of quiet luxury is clearly deep in her family-first era… and looking good doing it!
Candace Sparks a New Conspiracy Theory About Charlie… Britney?
Candace Owens is stirring the pot again… this time claiming Britney Spears was “infiltrated” by religious power players who helped lock her into a 14-year conservatorship.
In a recent livestream, Owens claimed, “The Calvary Chapel was also involved in Britney Spears’ conservatorship,” adding that her time around Kanye West taught her “the gist of the fact that celebrities are very much controlled.”
She then zeroed in on Lou Taylor, saying, “Lou Taylor apparently was very much involved… [Lou] got involved and pushed for this conservatorship. That is what is alleged.” Owens cited Lynne Spears’ memoir, which said Lou was discussing a conservatorship with Jamie just before Britney was put under court control and pushed into The Circus Tour… which grossed over $130 million.
Owens slammed the setup as “effectively an infiltration” and even argued “Lou Taylor’s qualifications are somewhat lacking.” In other words: Candace thinks Britney’s conservatorship had more plot twists than a Lifetime movie.
J-Law Gets Roasted Over Her 'Diaper' Gown: 'It's Giving Toilet Paper'
Jennifer Lawrence’s latest red-carpet look had fans yelling “restroom chic.”
The Hunger Games star’s big night turned into a big roast when her Governors Awards gown got slammed as a “diaper” dress. One critic sniped, “Ooh…. This dress hits somewhere right between ‘greek goddess’ and ‘diaper,’” another added, “It is giving diaper to me unfortunately, sorry J-Law,” and a third joked, “It’s giving dress I made at a baby shower out of toilet paper.”
The timing was rough, coming right after Lawrence opened up about Botox – teasing a facelift with “Believe me, I’m gonna!” and revealing she wants a b----- augmentation because “second one, nothing bounced back.”
And now neither did the internet.
Danny Moves to Overturn Rape Conviction… Blames His Lawyer
Danny Masterson says his conviction is bogus… since his own lawyer blew the case.
The That ’70s Show actor, 49, claims attorney Philip Cohen never called witnesses and ignored prosecutors’ Scientology claims. In his new habeas petition, Masterson says he “implored (Cohen) to present at least a minimal modicum of defense evidence, but counsel refused.”
Prosecutors argued Scientology threatened victims, with ex-member Claire Headley testifying the church only let people report crimes with special permission. The petition says defense lawyers were urged to call Scientologist Hugh Whitt to dispute that – but didn’t.
Cohen instead asked, “Why have we heard so much about Scientology?” and hinted it showed “problems otherwise with the government’s case?”
Masterson now argues “the jury saw only the tip of the iceberg” – and he’s hoping the rest somehow melts his sentence away.
