Justin Baldoni countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds dismissed
(NewsNation) — Justin Baldoni's countersuit against 'It Ends With Us' co-star Blake Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist has been dropped by a judge, according to court documents. The judge also reportedly dropped Baldoni's $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times. Judge Lewis J. Liman granted a motion to drop the $400 million lawsuit, which alleged defamation and extortion by Lively and her husband. The judge said that Baldoni's team could amend part of the claims if they wanted, but they had to do so by June 23. Blake Lively withdraws emotional distress claims against Justin Baldoni Liman said that Baldoni's team had not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements outside of her CRD complaint, which he said is privileged. The decision said, in part: 'The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and (publicist Leslie) Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign. But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.' Diddy's legal team again asks for a mistrial Read the full document below: Credit: United States District Court – Southern District of New YorkDownload Lively recently withdrew some of the emotional distress claims she made against Baldoni, according to a court filing. Streaming services next steps: What are Mubi, Tubi and more? Lively's claims had led Baldoni's lawyers to request her medical information. This included therapy notes and information on her mental health providers. Liman wrote that Baldoni's motion to get Lively's medical information was denied 'based on (Lively's) representation that the relevant claims will be withdrawn.' Liman claimed that Lively didn't want to disclose information but wanted to keep her right to re-file her claims. However, the judge decided that Lively 'cannot have it both ways,' and he closed the claims. Lively's attorneys will now not be able to use evidence regarding her alleged emotional distress. Her lawyers said that Baldoni team's request of her medical information was a 'press stunt,' leading them to urge the court to sanction Baldoni's attorneys for allegedly abusing the docket. 'It is based on two brazenly false assertions. First, they claim that Ms. Lively has 'refused' to disclose medical and mental health information, but as counsel for the Wayfarer Parties concede, that information is relevant only to Ms. Lively's stand-alone tort-based emotional distress claims that she indicated she was withdrawing,' the Lively filing claimed. Lively originally brought the lawsuit against Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment. One insider told NewsNation's Paula Froelich in February that Lively and Reynolds 'have no idea what's coming down the pike.' Tony Awards laud android rom-com 'Maybe Happy Ending' and history-making 'Purpose' Another source said that no one wanted to work with Lively since the lawsuits. A trial for Lively's suit against Baldoni has been scheduled for March 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘Sinners' Deleted Musical Scene Gives Delroy Lindo Another Song as Slim
'Sinners' has captivated audiences across the U.S. with its showstopping musical numbers and gory vampire horror but also with some of the most gorgeous cinematography seen in a horror film in recent years. Even the deleted scenes, like the ones released by Warner Bros. to mark the film's on-demand release, have a jaw-dropping beauty and powerful musical quality to them. One of those scenes was released by Movieclips on its YouTube page on Sunday, and it shows Delroy Lindo as the talented, funny and ultimately heroic blues musician Delta Slim, playing his own ad-libbed song 'Preachin'' in the Smokestack Twins' juke joint before the vampires come in and tear it apart. It's clear why director Ryan Coogler cut the scene. Its laid-back atmosphere does not fit with the increasingly party-like atmosphere and rising tension that simmers in the juke joint before the vampires arrive. But if you listen to the words Slim is singing, they fit quite well with Preacher Boy Sammie's arc over the course of the story. The lyrics about a preacher seducing a woman with his sermon echo Sammie's inner conflict between not wanting to lose his father whom he loves and not wanting to obey his father's order to give up the music he's so passionate about and which helps him find a new relationship with Pearline. The performance is filmed in one take with a split diopter shot, in which the cinematographer puts a convex lens over half of the camera to capture a subject in the foreground in one half of the frame and another subject farther away. The result, as you can see in the clip above, is a closeup, side profile shot of Delta Slim pouring his soul into the piano while Preacher Boy Sammie and Pearline, played by Miles Caton and Jayme Lawson, look on. 'Sinners' has become the highest grossing original live-action film at the U.S. box office since Alfonso Cuarón's 'Gravity' in 2013, grossing $272 million and counting domestically. The film is now available for digital rental and purchase on Fandango At Home and will be released on Blu-Ray on July 8. You can watch the deleted scene in the video above.

Apple Music's AutoMix Feature Is Making Me Rethink My Spotify Subscription
I've been a fan of Spotify for years. I love my Daily Mixes, Discover Weekly and Release Radar for finding new music while still spinning some of my favorites. The music app just gets me. But maybe it's time for me to finally give Apple Music a chance. At its WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple debuted new features for Apple Music, including lyric translation and pronunciation. You can also pin an album or artist to the top of your library. Honestly, that's pretty pointless to me. But there's one feature making me reconsider whether or not to keep my Spotify subscription: AutoMix. AutoMix blends from one song to the next, just like a DJ would. While Spotify has a crossfade feature that starts one song while the other is ending, Apple introduces the ability to mix using Apple Intelligence for time stretching and beat matching, just like a real DJ would. I love using Spotify's AI DJ because it always plays the right song, even when I don't know what I want to hear. I can also see what my friends are listening to, which can introduce me to more music. I might miss my favorite Spotify features, but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make -- at least temporarily -- to see if Apple Music is a better fit for me. After all, maybe it's time for me to mix things up a bit. So now, when I'm hosting my son's birthday party or a family gathering, my guests won't only be impressed by my playlist choices that get the party started, but there will also be smooth transitions to keep it going.
