Justin Baldoni’s team claims Blake Lively is seeking to remove her emotional distress claims against the It Ends With Us director amid their ongoing legal battle.

According to a letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman obtained by Variety on Monday, June 2, Lively, 37, is attempting to withdraw claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress against Baldoni. The decision came after Baldoni’s legal team sought Lively’s medical records as part of discovery.

“Instead of complying with the Medical RFPs, Ms. Lively’s counsel recently advised us, in writing, that Ms. Lively is withdrawing her [infliction of emotional distress] Claims,” Baldoni’s team stated in the filing. “However, Ms. Lively has refused the Wayfarer Parties’ reasonable request that the withdrawal of such claims be with prejudice. She is only willing to withdraw her claims without prejudice. In other words, Ms. Lively wants to simultaneously: (a) refuse to disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress and/or that the Wayfarer Parties were the cause; and (b) maintain the right to re-file her IED Claims at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed.”

Per Variety, Baldoni’s lawyers want Lively to sign a HIPAA release for access to therapy notes and other relevant information.

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's Lawyers Take New Shots at Each Other

“By alleging that she suffered physical and emotional injuries, Ms. Lively has placed her physical and mental condition at issue and, in turn, must produce relevant information and documents [including] psychiatric records,” the filing stated. “In other words, Ms. Lively has waived any doctor-patient privilege.”

Lively’s lawyers Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, however, denied Baldoni’s team’s claims in a statement to Us Weekly.

“Once again this is a routine part of the litigation process that is being used as a press stunt. We are doing what trial lawyers do: preparing our case for trial by streamlining and focusing it; they are doing what they do: desperately seeking another tired round of tabloid coverage,” the statement read. “The Baldoni-Wayfarer strategy of filing retaliatory claims has exposed them to expansive new damages claims under California law, rendering certain of Ms. Lively’s original claims no longer necessary. Ms. Lively continues to allege emotional distress, as part of numerous other claims in her lawsuit, such as sexual harassment and retaliation, and massive additional compensatory damages on all of her claims.”

How Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Are Coping Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuits

Us has reached out to Baldoni for comment.

Lively and Baldoni’s legal issues began in December 2024. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing her It Ends With Us director and costar of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment and orchestrating an alleged smear campaign against her.

Baldoni has denied the allegations. He subsequently filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist Leslie Sloane, accusing them of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more. They have denied the claims and requested for the lawsuit to be dismissed.

Patrick Dempsey’s twin sons are all grown up — and the actor couldn’t be prouder!

Dempsey, 59, shared a rare photo of his twin sons Darby and Sullivan, who recently celebrated their 18th birthdays and graduated from high school. The actor shared a photo of himself, the twins and their mother Jillian Fink on Instagram and captioned it, “Graduation!! So proud of you boys and cannot wait to see where the next chapter of your lives will take you!”

Dempsey and Fink also share their daughter Talula. The pair separated in 2015 but called off their divorce a year later.

Jillian originally filed for divorce from the Grey’s Anatomy actor in January 2015, citing irreconcilable differences. In the documents, she requested spousal support and joint custody of their three children. Neither party took steps to further the proceedings, and the pair reconciled later that year.

“You have to work at everything. And you cannot do everything. Something has to be sacrificed,” Patrick told ES magazine in May 2016, after confirming that he and Jillian were back together.

The pair attended the London premiere of Dempsey’s movie Ferrari in December 2023. On the same day as the Ferrari premiere, Jillian posted two photos of the couple posing together on the red carpet. The caption read: “UK Premiere of @ferrarithemovie with @patrickdempsey .” It went on to include details of both her and Patrick’s looks for the evening. Jillian noted that Patrick was styled by men’s celebrity stylist Warren Alfie Baker, and that his “grooming” was done by herself.

In March, Dempsey revealed he does not plan to return to the Scream franchise.

“It just didn’t work out and we were dealing with the fires and everything that was going on and the schedule didn’t work out, unfortunately,” Dempsey told Variety in an interview published on March 2, referring to the wildfires that devastated areas surrounding Los Angeles in January.

The actor was originally set to reprise the role of detective Mark Kincaid, which he first took on in Scream 3. He ultimately declined due to scheduling conflicts as he was already filming Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon.

In October 2024, however, Dempsey told the Today show that a “conversation” about him rejoining the franchise had occurred, but he was “waiting on the script.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh is going by a new professional moniker.

Shiloh, 19, appeared at the launch of Isabel Marant’s capsule collection with Net-A-Porter on Thursday, May 29, in Los Angeles. According to a press release obtained by Page Six from the event, Shiloh was listed as “Shi Joli.” The name is a shortened version of her legal name that pays homage to her mother.

At the event, Shi was credited as a choreographer for an original dance number. The routine was performed by Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuki to singer-songwriter Luella’s new song “Naïve.” Alison Brie, January Jones, Rachel Bilson and more stars were in attendance for the event.

Shi’s new moniker comes nearly one year after she filed paperwork to drop her dad’s last name and legally go by Shiloh Jolie. In May 2024, Shi made the legal request on her 18th birthday. A source told Us Weekly at the time that Shi “hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself.”

Brad Pitt’s Daughter Shiloh’s Petition to Drop His Last Name Granted

In August 2024, Us confirmed that Shi’s name change request was granted. (Her full name was previously Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.)

In addition to Shi, Pitt, 61, and Angelina, 49, share Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. Shi isn’t the only one of her siblings to drop Pitt as a surname. Zahara publicly introduced herself using only her mother’s last name when she joined the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha at Spelman College.

“My name is Zahara Marley Jolie,” she said in a video shared by Essence in November 2023. “Coming all the way from the Golden State in the city that is full of angels, Los Angeles, California. … I am this line’s No. 7.”

In May 2024, Us confirmed that Vivienne was credited as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill for the Broadway play The Outsiders. Vivienne worked as a production assistant on the show, which was produced by Angelina. It is unclear whether Zahara or Vivienne legally changed their names.

Shi, Zahara and Vivienne’s new moniker debuts came amid their parents’ divorce. Pitt and Angelina, who tied the knot in August 2014 after nearly a decade together, split in September 2016. Three years after the actress filed for divorce, the pair were declared legally single.

Brad Pitt ‘Isn’t Ready to Give Up on His Children’: Source

In December 2024, the exes officially finalized their divorce following an eight-year court battle.

“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Jolie’s lawyer James Simon told Us in a statement. “This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”

Last month, Pitt broke his silence on the split. When asked if he felt “relief” now that his split drama has come to an end during a May interview with GQ, Pitt responded, “No. I don’t think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally.”

While over 300 of Princess Diana‘s personal effects, including many of her iconic designer dresses, are set to go under the hammer at a private auction on Thursday, June 26, her coats are conspicuously absent from the collection — and the heartwarming reason why has now been revealed.

These beloved garments have actually never been put up for auction or sale,despite “Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection” by Julien’s Auctions featuring a wide array of her personal belongings.

Martin Nolan, co-founder and executive director of Julien’s Auctions, explained the touching truth behind this absence in a People interview published Friday, May 30.

“We learnt through this how generous Diana was, always giving items,” he shared. “And you never see a coat from Diana come to auction because she used to get her butler or her staff or friends to drive around London [in] January, February, [in the] freezing cold.”

How Princess Diana's Showstopping 1987 Cannes Dress Honored Mentor Grace Kelly

 

Nolan further elaborated on the Princess of Wales’ quiet acts of charity, stating, “She’d find homeless people and give them her coats.” He emphasized that this wasn’t an isolated incident, adding, “That’s how she was — without any spectacle or whatever.”
Diana’s fashion choices were not just about aesthetics; they were a form of self-expression and empowerment, with every outfit telling a story. Her generous spirit extended beyond her personal wardrobe.

Among the items hitting the auction block is Princess Diana’s 1986 Catherine Walker Falcon evening gown. Nolan described the piece, saying, “This beautiful dress was designed by Catherine Walker, with the falcons in migration mode all the way down the back. She wore this to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on a royal visit back in the late 1980s.”

He also noted the dress’s historical significance: “When Diana did her own auction in 1997, just two months before she suddenly passed away, this was one of the dresses that she sold for charity. She sold over 70 gowns at the behest of her son, Prince William, and to raise money for her charities. She raised over $3 million, which was huge at that time.”

Diana’s approach to her wardrobe also reflected her desire to support British designers. “She worked with Anna Harvey from British Vogue, an editor, and other designers because she always wanted to spotlight British designers and up-and-coming designers,” Nolan explained.

Princess Diana’s 1985 Dress Sells for a Staggering $1.1 Million

However, as she became a global icon, her advisors encouraged her to broaden her sartorial horizons. As Nolan told the publication, “So then she started wearing Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Versace. So she wore more of the more internationally known brands.”

Case in point? The most highly anticipated accessory in the collection is Princess Diana’s Lady Dior bag. Nolan recounted its fascinating origin: “When Princess Diana was in France in September 1995, Bernadette Chirac was the First Lady of France at the time. She wanted to give Diana a gift, so she chose a Dior bag. She called up Dior. They gave her the Chouchou bag, which this bag was initially known as.”

He continued, “And it was fabric. When Bernard Arnault was told that this gift was going to happen, he said, ‘Retract it,’ because this was a prototype, because they were now doing this bag in lambskin.”

This led to the iconic exchange: “So [they] took back the fabric one, gifted this to Diana, and this is the bag she wore when she went to Argentina in November 1995.”

The Chouchou bag then became so popular that they renamed it the Lady Dior bag.

“And it’s the most talked about, sought-after item that we could have in this entire lot,” Nolan said. “People just love, love, love this bag. If you were to buy it in the high street today, [it] cost you somewhere between $6,500 and $7,000, if you could get it. We estimate this one, Princess Diana’s, [will go for] $20,000 to $40,000, but it’ll go to the roof.”

Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection is set to begin on Thursday, June 26, at 10 a.m. PT at The Peninsula Beverly Hills.

Jesus Guerrero’s family is reacting to the release of the celebrity hairstylist’s official cause of death.

After the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed on Monday, June 2, that Jesus died of natural causes in connection with two separate infections, his sister Gris Guerrero exclusively told Us Weekly that the entire family is “still processing” the news.

“I can’t say how we are fully feeling about the whole thing,” she shared with Us on Monday. “We knew some of his symptoms toward the end were pneumonia-like, but there are more factors [which] led to that at the end.”

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner revealed that Jesus died of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) and disseminated cryptococcus neoformans, which are fungal infections that can severely impact those with weakened immune systems.

Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and More Remember Late Stylist Jesus Guerrero

According to the CDC, PCP is a rare, serious lung infection with symptoms that can develop over several days or weeks.

“This is so new,” Gris continued, “so we are still processing all the information.”

Jesus, a celebrity hairstylist for stars like Kylie Jenner and Katy Perry, died “suddenly and unexpectedly” on February 22 at age 34. He was laid to rest in Houston, Texas, one month later.

Throughout the month of February, Jesus was working with several high-profile clients including Kali Uchis for the 2025 Grammys and Jennifer Lopez for a work trip to the United Arab Emirates.

At the time of Jesus’ passing, Gris shared with Us that there were “so many unanswered questions” about her family member’s death.

“We have been able to track every one of his steps, but we don’t know what got him sick or what was [the] sickness,” she explained to Us. “It all happened suddenly, and no one knows why.”

As for how the family will move forward after the official cause of death was revealed, Gris said it “depends on how we end up settling on all of our feelings.”

“Close friends have been in contact here and there when they think of him,” Gris added when discussing the family’s ongoing grieving process.

As Gris continues to mourn her loss, she has tried to keep her brother’s memory alive.

In a post from the family’s GoFundMe page, Gris shared her fondest memories with her sibling.

“We would love for everyone to remember the light and warmth he brought to every room along with his laugh and smile,” she wrote via GoFundMe. “He is a soul to be celebrated. His generosity, kindness and empathy was unmatched. I hope to see you again.”

Christina Haack is sharing a glimpse into how she was able to settle her divorce from Josh Hall.

“I signed something,” Haack, 41, shared on the Monday, June 2, episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. “There’s like a process after the process. It was resolved in mediation after I think 12 hours.”

When host Jeff Lewis asked if the HGTV star was happy with the settlement, Haack admitted that she didn’t want to share too many details regarding the agreement.

“I heard a saying once, like, if you both think you’re screwed, then whatever you want. I don’t know how it goes…” she said. “Look, it’s not great, but I guess it’s done.”

Christina Haack Claims Josh Hall Has Been 'Wandering' Her Neighborhood

Cohost Shane Douglas later clarified that the saying is, “If both parties are equally unhappy after the negotiation, then you got what you want.”

On May 2, Us Weekly confirmed that Haack had settled her divorce from Hall, 44.  The pair were married for two years before calling it quits in July 2024.

“Christina is pleased to confirm that a settlement has been reached through mediation,” a rep for the HGTV star told Us in a statement at the time. “She extends her sincere appreciation to her attorney, Laura Wasser, and her team for their professional guidance and support throughout the process.”

Haack also celebrated the good news on her social media by expressing thanks to her legal team, referring to Wasser as the “disso queen.”

“You are all a true class act. I loved watching you in action and how you handle everything and everyone with class and grace,” the interior designer wrote via her Instagram Story. “I appreciate you all beyond words. I have learned so much under your guidance.”

While details surrounding the settlement have yet to be publicly revealed, Haack joked that she will stop by Lewis’ show again when it’s public record.

“I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about it. It’ll be in the doc soon. It’ll be public knowledge in a few,” she teased. “I think I’ll come back next month, and then we can talk about everything that’s public knowledge.”

Both Haack and Hall have moved on romantically following their divorce. The Christina On the Coast star is dating Christopher Laocca, while Hall has been seeing Stephanie Gabrys.

When Lewis, 55, asked Haack if she misses her in-laws, she replied “no comment” before sharing an anecdote from mediation.

“At one point, this thing came up where his reputation got hurt or whatever ’cause you know, he was a reality TV star before me, and now he can’t be a reality TV star anymore because nobody likes him,” Haack alleged. “His mom was at yoga and while she was doing her yoga poses, a fellow yogian said, ‘Your son is a thief,’ during yoga class. It kinda made me laugh.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Hall’s rep for comment on Haack’s latest interview.

Clint Eastwood doesn’t plan on walking away from the cameras anytime soon.

“As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was in the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year,” the director and actor, 95, told the Austrian paper Kurier in an interview published on Friday, May 30, per a translation from Reuters. “And that’s why I’ll work as long as I can still learn something, or until I’m truly senile.”

The Bridges of Madison County actor continued: “There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”

The actor also weighed in on Hollywood’s apparent obsession with remakes and blockbuster films.

Scott Eastwood Shares Update on Dad Clint Eastwood After Girlfriend's Death

“We live in an era of remakes and franchises,” Eastwood explained. “I’ve shot sequels three times, but I haven’t been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home.”

Eastwood added, “I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like Casablanca in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea.”

Eastwood has continued to focus on his work while simultaneously mourning the loss of his longtime girlfriend, Christina Sandera, who died in July 2024.

“Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much,” Eastwood, 94, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter at the time.

The pair were together for more than a decade. In 2014, Us confirmed that the couple met while she was a hostess working at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. (The Oscar winner was formerly the mayor of the cozy beach town.)

Clint Eastwood Through The Years: From Actor to Award-Winning Director

Though they mostly maintained their privacy, the pair made their red carpet debut in 2015 at the Academy Awards. Eastwood’s film American Sniper was up for six awards, including Best Picture. She continued to accompany him at various events, including the premieres of his projects Sully, The Mule, The 15:17 to Paris and Richard Jewell.

Eastwood was married twice before his romance with Sandera. The actor wed model Maggie Johnson in 1953. They share two children, son Kyle and daughter Allison. The exes divorced in 1984.

More than a decade later, Clint tied the knot for a second time with Dina Eastwood in 1996. The pair welcomed daughter Morgan later that year. Dina and Clint split in 2013 after 17 years of marriage and finalized their divorce the following year. (Dina moved on with current husband Scott Fisher in 2016.)

If you’re deep in the nail girlie lifestyle, chances are those stunning manis and the carousel of acrylics, gels and press-ons are making your nails suffer. Underneath the flawless chrome or dainty French tips, you might have peeling, splitting or paper-thin nails that never get a real break. It’s a struggle actress Julianne Moore knows all too well, and she dished on the one keratin treatment she uses to combat it.

After years of switching up nail looks for roles and red carpets, Moore found herself with brittle, “torn up” nails, and nothing seemed to help.  That is, until she tried the Cnd RescueRxx Daily Keratin Treatment — a $20 nail oil that rehabs damaged nails. As Moore told Glamour, “This daily keratin treatment is revolutionizing.” She admitted that her nails were destroyed from fake sets and polish reactions, and this saved them.

Get the Cnd RescueRxx Daily Keratin Treatment for just $20 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

So what makes it so effective? The star ingredient is keratin, a protein that bonds to natural nails to rebuild strength and flexibility. It specifically addresses brittleness, dryness and breakage, which are common issues after long-term artificial nail wear. Unlike oils that sit on top of the nail, this one absorbs quickly and gets to work fast.

Shoppers back it up, too. One person said their nails were peeling after acrylics, and this was the first thing that made a visible difference. “Within days, my nails started getting healthy looking,” they wrote. And another shopper who tried “countless nail products over the years” wrote, “My nails have transformed. They’re the strongest they’ve ever been — not super long, but they’ve grown healthier and more resilient.”

Even those dealing with long-term nail damage have seen results. “I had split nails that would not heal for years. After using this product, within a month they were healed,” wrote one reviewer.

If your nails need a break, but you’re not ready to give up your mani obsession, this $20 keratin oil treatment might be your new holy grail. Think of it as rehab in a bottle, with real results that actually show.

Brittany Cartwright soaked up the rays in Miami on Friday, May 30, looking hot and unbothered amid her divorce from ex Jax Taylor.

You might say the Vanderpump Rules alum’s getaway served as the proverbial calm after the storm, as headlines have been circulating since Taylor, 45, who shares child Cruz, 4, with Cartwright, revealed that he was a recovering cocaine addict in a March 2025 episode of Alex Baskin‘s “Hot Mic” podcast.

Cartwright, 36, served up her own bombshell moment in the form of sexy beachwear when she was spotted in a leopard maillot on Friday, hours before hitting the runway at Miami Swim Week.

It was hard not to notice The Valley Bravo star as she splashed around the surf. The plunging animal-print one-piece emphasized her curves, while the lace-up back snatched her waist.

Brittany Cartwright Breaks Silence About Jax Taylor’s Cocaine Addiction

A statement swimsuit augmented with glistening diamond stud earrings would have induced whiplash in onlookers in any setting. However, slicked-back hair, still dripping wet from relaxing in the ocean, commanded that much more attention and completed her utterly glamorous guise.

In keeping with the transparency trend, she paired it with gauzy black pants that, even with ruffles on the sides, were sheer enough to reveal her swimsuit’s cheeky bottoms underneath.

To go from the beach to the boardwalk, she wore Christian Dior Every-D slides, which were several stylish steps up from rubber flip-flops. She doubled down on designer accessories in squared-off glossy black Saint Laurent sunglasses with the brand’s logo etched on the temple.

After all, what better way to dip a literal toe into the Paraiso Swim Week scene than by strolling along the seashore before strutting down the runway?

That’s precisely what Cartwright did when she modeled in the Cupshe fashion show on Friday. She wore ankle-wrap sandals with a breezy blue-and-white toile sundress that could just as easily double as a chic beach cover-up to go from the cabana to cocktails in Miami and beyond.
