Blake Lively's deposition in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni has been rescheduled to July 31. Photo / Getty Images Blake Lively's deposition has been pushed back by two weeks. The former Gossip Girl star is suing her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation, and after she was granted a protective order on Monday which agreed to her request for the legal meeting to take place in an undisclosed location, it has now been rescheduled. According to court documents seen by People magazine on Wednesday, legal counsel for both sides met and mutually agreed to move the deposition from Thursday, to July 31. Meanwhile, Lively's lawsuit against Texas-based publicist and social media expert Jed Wallace has been dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. The 37-year-old star had filed a civil rights complaint against the Street Relations, Inc. founder and alleged he had been hired by Baldoni's PR team to assist in a smear campaign against her.

'Stupid Cupid' singer Connie Francis dead at 87

Photo: Getty Connie Francis, the American pop singer who topped the charts in the 1950s and 1960s with genre-spanning songs of youthful love and heartbreak, died on Wednesday night (local time), her manager says. She was 87. Francis had been hospitalised earlier in July with severe pelvic pain, spending some time in intensive care, manager Ron Roberts said. He did not give the place or cause of death. With a powerful, clear voice that could be both peppy and plaintive, Francis sold tens of millions of records in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including the skittering lovesick hit "Stupid Cupid" and the lush, maudlin songs "Who's Sorry Now" and "Where the Boys Are." In 1960, when she was 21, she became the first woman to hold the No 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the release of "Everybody's Somebody's Fool." She went on to record the song in German – "Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel" – and became a keen polyglot in the studio, releasing covers of her hits in Italian, Spanish and several other languages. Francis was born on December 12, 1937, in Newark, New Jersey, to Italian-American parents who named her Concetta Franconero. A talent scout in the 1950s urged her to change her stage name to something radio DJs might find simpler to pronounce. In her memoir, she describes her father, who scraped a living as a labourer in the shipyards and factories of New York, as the most powerful force throughout her life, helping her learn to play the accordion as a child. "I played the accordion the way I did everything else in life – with a vengeance!" she wrote. "Music became my sole focus in life." It was at his urging, Francis wrote, that she recorded what would become her first hit: "Who's Sorry Now" It was at her father's insistence that she stopped dating the singer Bobby Darin in the 1950s. She described not eloping with Darin as one of her life's greatest regrets. Earlier this year, her 1962 recording "Pretty Little Baby" became a viral sensation on the social media app TikTok, with users lip-syncing to it in videos seen by millions. She told People magazine she had forgotten she ever recorded the song. "To think that a song I recorded 63 years ago is touching the hearts of millions of people is truly awesome," she said.
