Believe it or not, Jake Paul is now a ranked boxer and eligible to fight for a world title
Jake Paul was a child actor. He was once primarily known as a YouTube influencer. When he started boxing, he was seen largely as a novelty act who didn't face serious fighters. As of Monday night, however, Paul is ranked by the World Boxing Assn. And as impossible as it may have sounded in the not-so-distant past, that makes him eligible to fight for a world title. 'I've worked hard to get here but there is nothing to celebrate,' Paul wrote on X after the WBA listed him at No. 14 in the latest edition of its cruiserweight rankings. 'Long road ahead and I'm more committed to it every single day. I may veer off the path now and again, but being a world champion is my desired ultimate destination.' The ranking came days after Paul's victory by unanimous decision over former middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr., the most accomplished opponent the former Disney Channel 'Bizaardvark' star has faced en route to a 12-1 record with 7 knockouts in a boxing career that has spanned less than seven years. During much of that time, Paul's opponents included fellow YouTubers, an NBA player and several mixed martial artists. In the fall, he defeated then-58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in a bout that peaked at 65 million concurrent streams on Netfilix and netted a record gate of $18,117,072 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Paul's only loss came in 2023 against Tommy Fury, a professional boxer and reality TV star. He reflected on that fight Saturday night after his win over Chávez. 'I don't think I was a fighter at the time,' Paul told reporters. 'I was barely 2½ years into the sport. I didn't really know what I was doing. I didn't have the right equipment around me, the right conditioning. My lifestyle outside of the ring was still like that of a YouTuber, a famous actor or whatever it was at that point in time. I wasn't completely focused on boxing. '... People still hold the Tommy Fury fight against me, but now I've beaten a former world champion and I'm coming to collect on that loss to Tommy.' The current WBA cruiserweight champion is Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramírez, who was on the same bill as Paul last weekend and defeated Yuniel Dorticos in a close but unanimous decision. During the postfight news conference, Paul and Ramírez stared each other down. 'I want tougher fighters. I want to be a world champion,' Paul told reporters. 'Zurdo looked slow ... tonight. That'd be easy work, too.'

Blake Lively Subpoenas Perez Hilton and Candace Owens in Effort to Prove Justin Baldoni's Alleged Smear Campaign
Blake Lively has issued subpoenas to content creators Perez Hilton, Candace Owens and Andy Signore in her legal battle with Justin Baldoni Online commentator Owens said in a statement that she has "not the slightest idea what I am being subpoenaed" Baldoni's lawyer has previously given shoutouts to the "internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity"Blake Lively's lawyers are issuing subpoenas to content creators Perez Hilton, Candace Owens and Andy Signore in a quest to prove Justin Baldoni's alleged smear campaign. TMZ was first to report the new development, citing a source, on Tuesday, July 1, that Hilton, Owens and Signore were given notice of subpoenas in Lively's ongoing legal battle against Baldoni, the It Ends With Us costar-director she accused of sexual harassment and retaliation, which he denies. Owens, a divisive online commentator who has gained millions of views on her Lively videos, said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, "Given the fact that I have not received any subpoena yet, I appreciate Blake's team leaking this to TMZ to alert me to it. And, of course, I have not the slightest idea what I am being subpoenaed for as I knew none of these parties when their respective lawsuits were filed. But stay tuned, and I'll let audiences know on my podcast." Hilton and Signore did not immediately respond toPEOPLE's requests for comment. Reps for Lively and Baldoni separatelydeclined to comment. Hilton (born Mario Lavandeira) is a longtime celebrity blogger who has been covering the actors' saga, and he was even featured in the documentary about the case, In Dispute: Lively vs. Baldoni. He has previously been legally represented by Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman. Signore makes videos about celebrity trials on a YouTube channel, and in one video shared an "exclusive" statement from Freedman before major news outlets published the same comment later. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Lively and Reynolds, which alleged extortion and defamation, was dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman in June, and Baldoni's team ultimately declined to amend and move forward with their claims. Lively, 37, has also issued a subpoena to music exec Scooter Braun and his company. (Braun stepped down from his CEO role at HYBE on July 1.) Baldoni, 41, at one point subpoenaed Taylor Swift, a close friend of Lively's, though that has since been withdrawn. Still, the judge blocked Lively's motion for a protective order to prevent her texts with the pop star from getting into Baldoni's team's hands. It was previously indicated that Baldoni's team also considered subpoenaing another of Lively's friends, actor Hugh Jackman. Baldoni's legal team has previously given shoutouts to content creators making videos about the legal battle. In a June 10 message after their lawsuit was dismissed, Freedman said, "We are grateful for the organic show of support from the public and for the dedication of the internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity." In her complaint, Lively's lawyers alleged that Baldoni and his publicists orchestrated an online smear campaign to tarnish her image, writing: "the Wayfarer team seeded social media content with content creators, on online chat sites like Reddit, and into publications with small audiences and lax editorial standards; the team would then 'amplify' that content by sharing them with publications ... [that] have larger audiences and greater reach, which significantly increased the negative sentiment toward Ms. Lively." Baldoni's lawyers, however, say any ill will directed at Lively was her own doing, and bad press that happened around the It Ends With Us release in August 2024 was an organic response that needed no fueling. Freedman said on a podcast in March, "The publicists are saying, 'We had nothing to do with this whatsoever.' And there's other people that say the same thing and that organically this press was coming out. Justin wasn't happy about anything that would be negative about Blake, about the movie, about him or anything. This wasn't just about him or just about her. This was about the project they were working on together." The trial is currently scheduled to be held in March 2026. Read the original article on People

'Jurassic World Rebirth' comes out this week: How to watch all the 'Jurassic Park' movies ahead of the new one
Did you think people were done visiting Jurassic Park? Think again! Jurassic World Rebirth comes out this week, opening a brand new, star-studded chapter for the Jurassic franchise. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, Rebirth will revisit the old research facility island for the original Jurassic Park, with the trio on a mission to collect dino DNA. While it's a brand new moment in the franchise, there will likely be lots of references to both the original Jurassic Park trilogy and the Jurassic World trilogy. Need a refresher on the franchise? Here's where to watch all of the Jurassic Park movies (and shows! And… short films). Jurassic Park (1993) — watch on Peacock, rent on Prime Video or Apple TV The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) — watch on Peacock, rent on Prime Video or Apple TV Jurassic Park III (2001) — watch on Peacock, rent on Prime Video or Apple TV Jurassic World (2015) — watch on Peacock, rent on Prime Video or Apple TV Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) — watch on Peacock, rent on Prime Video or Apple TV Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) — watch on Peacock, rent on Prime Video or Apple TV Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) — watch in theaters starting July 3 In addition to the seven movies, there are also two Netflix series based in the Jurassic Park world, though the shows are chronologically confusing (and animated): Camp Cretaceous TV series (2020-2022) — watch on Netflix Jurassic World: Chaos Theory TV series (2025) — watch on Netflix There's also a 2019 short film and the deleted prologue for Jurassic World: Dominion: Battle at Big Rock (2019, YouTube short film) — watch on YouTube The Prologue — Jurassic World: Dominion (2021) — watch on YouTube Jurassic World Rebirth comes out in theaters on July 2. Get tickets Dominion capped off the trilogy that focused on Owen Grady, meaning Rebirth has the potential to begin a new story basically anywhere. Director Gareth Edwards has said that Rebirth "felt like the beginning of a brand-new chapter in this franchise." So, where does that new chapter begin? Five years after the events of Dominion, where dinosaurs have become old news, a team sets out on a secret mission to the oldest Jurassic Park island — the one that houses the now-defunct research facility. Their mission? To gather DNA samples from land, sea and air-dwelling dinosaurs to potentially create a groundbreaking new medicine. Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid Rupert Friend as Martin Krebs Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Reuben Delgado Bechir Sylvain as Leclerc Looking for what critics think of the new Jurassic World movie?
