A Disney executive has reportedly claimed that Blake Lively’s career in Hollywood is “ruined” as she prepares for a high-stakes court battle with her former co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. 

The insider, who allegedly worked with the actress previously, suggested that the industry isn’t “shedding tears” over her current legal woes.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the source claimed that the Gossip Girl star has “made her bed and she can lie in it,” while alleging she had a long-standing reputation for being difficult and thinking she always knew best.

The fallout follows a lawsuit Lively filed in December 2024, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation during their time filming It Ends With Us. 

While Baldoni denied the claims and even launched a $400 million countersuit, which was thrown out in June, the legal path hasn’t been smooth for Lively either. 

A judge recently dismissed her sexual harassment allegations, leaving only three claims to move forward: retaliation, breach of contract, and aiding and abetting in retaliation. 

Baldoni’s legal team expressed their relief at the court’s decision, noting they were grateful for the careful review of what they called “very serious allegations”.

Lively’s lawyers have pushed back against the idea that the dismissal of the harassment claims was a victory for Baldoni. 

They argued that the court’s decision was based on Lively being considered an independent contractor rather than an employee, and insisted it was “not because the defendants did nothing wrong.” 

The actress is apparently looking forward to taking the stand to testify, hoping to use the trial to expose “vicious” forms of online retaliation.

With both sides failing to reach a settlement, the pair are now set to face off in court on 18 May. 

The proceedings have already attracted significant attention, particularly as Taylor Swift’s name has been mentioned several times during the preliminary legal stages. 

While it is still unclear who will ultimately be called to testify, the industry is watching closely to see if the Disney executive’s harsh assessment of Lively’s professional future holds true as the trial begins.

Pete Davidson is back on stage and, naturally, wasting no time making jokes about fatherhood.

The comedian, 32, performed at Las Vegas’ The Fontainebleau on Saturday, 11 April, his first stand-up show in five months, and used the set to reflect on life since the birth of his daughter Scottie Rose in December 2025.

“I haven’t done stand-up in 5 months because I just had a baby; it’s a lot of fun,” he told the audience, per footage obtained by Us Weekly. 

“Got a little girl. It’s weird having a little girl. It’s hard to watch [expletive content]… in front of her.”

He paused for effect before delivering the punchline. “I still did. I power through.” He was quick to reassure the crowd that fatherhood itself is “great.”

Davidson and his girlfriend Elise Hewitt, 29, welcomed Scottie Rose, named after Pete’s late father, firefighter Scott Davidson, who died responding to the September 2001 attacks, in December. 

The arrival clearly changed something fundamental in him. 

Speaking to Us Weekly in January, Davidson described the experience in terms that were notably different from his usual comedic tone. 

“Nothing else matters as much or intensely, like career, activities, hanging out with people [or] what do people think of me, that sort of s***,” he said. “I still want to do cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long do I have to be away?'”

He was equally effusive about watching Hewitt take to motherhood. 

“She definitely knows exactly what to do” when the baby cries, he said, describing his girlfriend’s instincts and her habit of checking the baby monitor app throughout the night as “really f***ing cool to watch.” 

The couple, who started dating in early 2025, are already thinking about expanding their family. 

“We want her to have a friend, for sure. We love the idea of her being a big sister,” Davidson said, adding that even contemplating another child so soon “sounds absolutely insane right now”, but that the whole experience has been “incredible.”

Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner were spotted together at Coachella this weekend, and they seem to be surrounded by romance speculations now.

The 28-year-old actor and the supermodel, 30, were seen singing along to Justin Bieber during his headline set on Saturday, April 11.

The Kardashians star, who is close friends with Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber, was visibly excited for the performance and the Frankenstein star was also seen hanging out with the Jenners, Timothee Chalamet, and their group at the music festival.

Elordi was even spotted wearing the Baby hitmaker’s SWAG merch hat during the event.

While some fans were initially surprised by the unexpected linkup, some declared, “kendall and jacob elordi dating is such an obvious thing that is bound to happen at some point.”

More added, “The pairing just makes too much sense to ignore,” and “omg they’d look perfect together.”

However, some social media users also argued that the Euphoria alum was seated near the Kardashian-Jenners but was not attending the event with them.

They also added that Elordi and Jenner have been friends for many years. As for the rumoured couple, they have not addressed the speculations.
