Listicle: 10 movies that deserve a do-over
It Ends With Us (2024).Colleen Hoover's books are written with an eye on adaptations. Screen versions of Verity, Reminders Of Him, and Regretting You are all in the works. Unfortunately, It Ends With Us was completely overtaken by the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni backstage drama, the legal notices it spawned and those terrible costumes. Domestic violence deserves to be portrayed right. Do better.

'She will forever be furious': Taylor Swift ends friendship with Blake Lively after lawsuit drama, leans on Travis Kelce for comfort
Taylor Swift has ditched Blake Lively with no way back for friendship (Getty Images) What was once one of Hollywood's most adored friendships has reportedly come to a dramatic end. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once inseparable on vacations, red carpets, and NFL game nights, are no longer on speaking terms. According to a revealing Page Six report, the collapse of their relationship stems from a $400 million lawsuit involving Blake's It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni — and Swift is now leaning on her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, for support during the fallout. Taylor Swift distances from Blake and It Ends With Us while finding peace with Travis Kelce The legal dispute exposed private texts where Blake Lively referred to Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds as her 'dragons,' comparing herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. This comment — made in the context of her legal dispute — reportedly outraged Swift, who felt blindsided and misrepresented. 'She will forever be furious at how Blake quite clearly was using her for clout and leverage in her dealings with Justin,' a source close to Swift told Page Six. 'She really hates that Blake would even think like that, let alone write the things she did in that text.' While Swift had previously licensed her song My Tears Ricochet for the film's soundtrack, she never promoted the movie — even before the legal mess surfaced. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Sources say that wasn't by accident. Swift reportedly saw the friendship as casual and low-pressure, not one where she'd be expected to get involved in someone else's legal fight. 'The truth is, the text wasn't even accurate,' the insider said. 'That's not the kind of friendship they ever had—Taylor would never think of herself as Blake's 'dragon.'' Amid the public drama, insiders say Swift has found grounding and reassurance in her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The couple, who've become one of pop culture's most watched pairs, have been spending more time together during Swift's Eras Tour breaks. 'Travis has been a calming presence for Taylor,' one entertainment insider shared privately. 'She's leaned on him throughout this entire fallout with Blake. He gets the pressure she's under and doesn't ask anything from her except honesty and time.' 'They were baking pals, travel pals, home decor pals… and to be totally honest, billionaire pals,' the source added. 'It was nice to be with someone else who 'gets it'.' Now, with the friendship fractured and the legal dust settling, Swift is said to be moving forward with a smaller, tighter circle — one where trust isn't just assumed, but earned. 'Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them,' the source added, quoting Swift's lyric from End Game.

Has Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Feud Negated Ryan Reynolds' Business? Actor Says ‘None of Us Are Defined…'
Ryan Reynolds has time and again been dragged into the onset of trouble between his wife, Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni. The two have been going at it, claiming a hostile workplace environment with inappropriate remarks on one end, and denial as well as a damage suit on the other. With the dent to his reputation, Ryan Reynolds is clearing any doubts if this has financially affected his business endeavors, and sharing how his 'core values and integrity' have continued to lift him up. He termed the chatter 'meaningless'. Ryan Reynolds' Work Affected by Wife Blake Lively's Feud with Justin Baldoni? The Canadian-American actor and film producer first got caught up in the mess over his involvement in the creative aspect of the movie that saw the light of day in August 2024. Over multiple occasions, the lead actress claimed that her husband kindly offered his services to alter scenes in the Colleen Hoover inspiration. The same has invited flak from industry critics and fans alike, who blame his uncalled-for involvement. Talking to TIME 100, the actor revealed that the mixed reactions have not dampened his stance. 'I can read something that says, 'He should be drawn and quartered.' I could read something that says I should win a Nobel Prize. Both are meaningless.' Adding how he hopes to move on from the ongoing legal battle, the actor shared, 'None of us are comprised of our best moments. None of us are defined by our worst moments. We are something in the middle.' Taking control of the narrative has been a Reynolds-Lively household, and that's not necessarily a good or a bad thing. The 48-year-old emphasizes how 'accessibility and accountability' frame his vision, and despite allegations, his people know him best. He wishes that the same continues, 'If you operate with some degree of core values and integrity, they're going to help you up. If you're an a--hole, they're not. And that's pretty simple.' Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds is all set to return to the screens with Animal Friends in 2026.

'Pleading for forgiveness':Blake Lively refuses to let Taylor Swift cut her off as Travis Kelce quietly sides with the his lady love
Blake Lively's longstanding friendship with Taylor Swift is said to be over (Getty Images) Blake Lively is fighting to save more than her reputation—she's desperately trying to hold on to her friendship with Taylor Swift , even as the fallout from her legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni sends shockwaves through her personal life. With Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce now quietly distancing himself from Blake's husband Ryan Reynolds , insiders say the divide is becoming increasingly public—and painful. Blake Lively fights to win back Taylor Swift as Travis Kelce cuts ties with Ryan Reynolds Despite Swift's decision to step back, Blake Lively is reportedly doing everything she can to repair the rift. 'Blake is devastated that things have gotten to this place, and she's refusing to accept that their friendship is over. She's been texting and calling Taylor, pleading for forgiveness,' a source close to the actress revealed. — PerezHilton (@PerezHilton) The rift widened after a leaked message from Blake to Baldoni stirred controversy. 'If you ever get round to watching Game of Thrones , you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi. And like her, I happen to have a few dragons,' Blake reportedly wrote—an eyebrow-raising statement that some believe referenced Swift as one of her symbolic 'dragons.' But sources close to Taylor strongly deny she'd ever see herself in such a role. 'She would never think of herself as Blake's dragon, or protector,' one insider emphasized. And the fallout is now reaching beyond the women themselves. Travis Kelce, who has become a central figure in Taylor's highly public personal life, has subtly made his stance known by unfollowing Ryan Reynolds on Instagram. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Klik Di Sini Undo It's a quiet move—but one fans haven't missed—and suggests Kelce is standing in solidarity with Swift as she distances herself from the drama. Blake, meanwhile, isn't backing down. Determined to make things right, she's reportedly enlisted mutual friends like Hugh Jackman and Salma Hayek to help rebuild the bridge to Taylor. Jackman, a longtime friend of Ryan, is said to be acting as a mediator behind the scenes. But Blake may be losing more than just Taylor. Insiders say that members of Swift's inner circle, including Gigi Hadid , Selena Gomez , and Cara Delevingne, have already backed away from the actress. 'They acted like they were her friends, but the moment Taylor was upset, they showed their true colours,' the source added. With Blake continuing to plead her case and Travis Kelce quietly backing Taylor, the odds of a full reconciliation remain uncertain. Still, Blake isn't giving up. 'She loves Taylor and misses her terribly, and she'll do anything to fix this,' says the source. Whether Swift—and Kelce—are willing to open that door again remains to be seen.
