Taylor Swift Said No to Blake Lively Attending Selena Gomez's Party, Claims ‘Source'
Blake Lively is officially out of Taylor Swift's squad, suggests 'source'
A new report claims Taylor Swift did not want her estranged friend, Blake Lively, at Selena Gomez's recent birthday party. A source exclusively told Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop that the actor was 'deliberately cut from the guest list.' Insiders have alleged that Swift was the reason behind the 'personal' move.
Moreover, Gomez reportedly did not want any drama at her 33rd bash amid Lively's legal battle against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star, Justin Baldoni. A party insider said that Gomez 'wanted love, light, and platform boots,' and added she didn't want 'subpoenas and side-eyes.' Meanwhile, the former Disney star also gave a glimpse inside her disco-themed birthday party with a new set of photos. It showed a whole lot of dazzling sequins and retro-style fits.
Furthermore, Gomez's carousel featured a series of candid snaps with her close ones. This included her fiancé, Benny Blanco, her bestie, Swift, and more. Gomez and Swift's photo showed the duo sitting down with a bunch of balloons scattered all around them. The longtime friends were on theme for the bash as they wore sequin outfits. Besides the party photos, Gomez penned a heartwarming note to express her love and gratitude.
Meanwhile, #ShuterScoop claimed that things have gone more icy between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively. Previously, a report even suggested that the 'A Simple Favor' star has come to terms with the doomed fate of their friendship.

‘The Mandalorian' actor Gina Carano and Disney settle lawsuit over alleged wrongful termination
The Walt Disney Co. and Lucasfilm have settled a lawsuit brought by 'The Mandalorian' actor Gina Carano, who alleged she had been wrongfully terminated from the show and discriminated against because of her social media posts. Carano and Disney each separately confirmed the settlement Thursday, with Carano calling it the 'best outcome for all parties involved.' 'I hope this brings some healing to the force,' she wrote in a post on X. 'I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me.' She also thanked X owner and billionaire Elon Musk, who funded her lawsuit against Disney, calling it a 'Good Samaritan deed' from someone she had never met. A Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement Thursday that the company looked forward to 'identifying opportunities to work together' with Carano in the 'near future,' now that the lawsuit was concluded. The company did not disclose the conditions of the settlement. 'Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff,' the spokesperson said. 'She worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect.' The settlement comes a little more than a year after Carano sued Burbank-based Disney, Lucasfilm and Huckleberry Industries after she was dismissed from the Disney+ series. Carano, who portrayed former Rebellion soldier Cara Dune for two seasons, had been criticized for several controversial social media posts. In one now-deleted post, she implied that being conservative today was comparable with being Jewish during the Holocaust. Critics had also called out posts in which she falsely claimed voter fraud affected the results of the 2020 presidential election, derided pandemic-era mask mandates and made fun of stating people's pronouns. Her social media postings ignited a firestorm of controversy, with critics calling for her to be fired from the series, while her supporters urged others to cancel Disney+ instead. In 2021, a Lucasfilm representative said in a statement that Carano was not currently employed by the 'Star Wars' production company, and that there were 'no plans for her to be in the future.' The statement also called her posts 'abhorrent and unacceptable.' Carano claimed at the time that she had been promised a role in the now-shelved 'Star Wars' spinoff 'Rangers of the New Republic.' In her lawsuit, she said she was 'targeted, harassed, publicly humiliated, [and] defamed' for making 'political statements that did not align with what [Disney] believed was an acceptable viewpoint.' She had been seeking more than $75,000 in damages and to be reinstated in her role in 'The Mandalorian.'

Photos show what it's like aboard the Disney Wish cruise ship, from adult-only escapes to fantastic food
I've taken two vacations on the Disney Wish from Florida to the Bahamas. The boat has 15 decks filled with restaurants, shops, theaters, and more. There are also adult-only spaces and a Disney theme park ride on board the massive ship. If I could snap my fingers and be anywhere right now, I'd be on a Disney Wish cruise. I took my first voyage on the ship in 2022 — my first cruise vacation — and returned the following year for a second trip. The vessel is one of Disney's largest and most modern ships, with themed bars, an outdoor theme park ride, upscale restaurants, and more. Here's what it's like on board. Disney Cruise Line is known for its family-friendly ships that sail around the world. The Wish began sailing in July 2022. The 1,119-foot ship has 15 decks and can carry 4,000 passengers at a time. The Wish is one of Disney's largest cruise ships to date. It's significantly longer and wider than the Disney Magic, which measures 984 feet long and can carry 2,713 passengers. It will only be topped by the Disney Adventure, which will set sail for the first time in December. I've taken both a 3-day trip and a 4-day vacation on the Disney Wish. My first cruise experience was a three-day cruise on the Wish in September 2022. I was immediately blown away by how massive the ship was. There are 15 decks on board the Disney Wish. This opulent main deck is inspired by Cinderella. It has gem-encrusted banisters, a winding staircase, a stage for performances, and a balcony where you can find princesses greeting passengers. It's also home to an intimate, adults-only piano bar called Nightingale's. The location was inspired by Cinderella's song "Oh, Sing Sweet Nightingale." Visitors can listen to live music and order bubble-themed drinks. If you prefer "Star Wars" over princesses, you'll want to visit the Hyperspace Lounge. The space-inspired bar is open to all travelers during the day, but becomes an adult-exclusive spot after 9 p.m. My favorite bar was called The Bayou. Inspired by "The Princess and the Frog," the bar is the ultimate place to listen to live music, order beignets, and enjoy special drinks. In between drinks, you can browse an array of high-end stores. The various shops sell handbags, diamond jewelry, and other luxury items. The elevators that bring you between decks are surprisingly luxurious. Twice a day, the Walt Disney Theatre hosts Broadway-level performances. On the Wish, that includes productions of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin." You can't take photos during the shows, but they're both visually stunning and fun to attend. Outside the Walt Disney Theatre, you can purchase snacks like soda and popcorn. During my trip, each bucket cost $3. You could also buy a popcorn bucket for a higher price and get cheaper refills. One of the ship's rotational dining restaurants, 1923, is also found on deck three. The location is inspired by Disney animation and the start of the Walt Disney Company. Inside, you'll find character sketches, movie props, and more. When you head up to deck four, you'll find guest services. There was usually a long line during my trip, but it moved quickly. While you're waiting, you can enjoy beverages from the Wishing Star Café. The tiny coffee spot is subtly inspired by "Pinocchio" both in name and decor. Next door is a salon for young travelers: the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Travelers of all ages can go to Luna for fun activities. The lounge offers family-friendly activities during the day and games like bingo for adults at night. We also attended an adults-only silent disco there, which was a highlight of our trip. Or you can visit one of two movie theaters to watch newly-released Disney movies. One of the ship's main restaurants is also on deck four. Called Worlds of Marvel, the interactive spot offers food from Marvel movies, an appearance from Ant-Man, and more unique experiences. On deck five, you can stop by the Enchanted Sword Café for a treat. Or you can stop by Mickey's Mainsail, a massive gift shop. During both of my trips on board the Wish, I found clothes, children's toys, collectible pins, toiletries, and holiday merchandise, among other products. My favorite spot on this deck was Keg & Compass. The nautical bar was created with so many fun details, like Disney-themed maps on the ceilings and wood-carved portholes. For dinner on deck five, you'll experience a one-of-a-kind restaurant called Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure. The space looks exactly like the setting of the beloved movie, and fan-favorite characters like Elsa sing as you dine. Between the food and entertainment, it's my favorite restaurant on board. Decks six through 10 are where you'll find staterooms. Our room measured 169 square feet. It had a lifted queen bed, pullout couch, closet, vanity, and TV, among other amenities. I loved the small space. Even our bathroom was nice. My favorite part of the stateroom decks was the art that lined the walls. Each floor had pieces from different movies, like "The Princess and the Frog" and "The Little Mermaid." During a walking tour of the ship, an employee said more than 4,000 pieces from artists around the world were on board. Deck 11 is the place to go when you want a dip in the pool. The pools face a giant outdoor TV screen, which, when I visited, played movies like "Cruella" and "Halloweentown." I often found people watching Disney movies while lounging in the nearby pools. The spot I visited most on deck 11 was the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods market. At its various food stands, you could get everything from personal pizzas to barbecue — all included in your trip fare. For dessert, I'd visit the "Inside Out"-inspired spot Joyful Sweets. There, you can buy pastries, ice cream, and some candy. I indulged in all of the above and thought they were all delicious. If you want to switch things up, Marceline Market is another breakfast and lunch option. There were more food options here, but the hours were more limited, so I only ate at Marceline Market once each trip. There are smaller pools on deck 12. Though you can see them from the lower level, they're technically on a different deck. These tiny pools were often crowded during open hours. This deck is also where you'll find the Hero Zone activity center. The indoor spot offers an inflatable, "Incredibles"-themed obstacle course multiple times per day. Children and adults can partake. I can tell you from experience, the course is more intense than it looks. The Rose is an elegant "Beauty and the Beast"-themed bar. It offers stunning ocean views during the day and a cozy, romantic vibe at night. If you're looking for a thrill, head up to deck 13 for the AquaMouse. The attraction is Disney's first theme park ride on a cruise ship. It's a quick ride, but lots of fun. Adults can get away at the Cove Café and the adjacent pool. There was a lot of private seating in this section, so my sister and I enjoyed a drink here away from children and families on board. The only decks I didn't visit were one, two, and 15. The lowest level is home to the health clinic, and the second has a nursery and children's club, which you can access by stairs or slide. The 15th deck, on the other hand, is reserved for those who book the luxury Tower Suite, which can cost upward of $30,000 per trip. Overall, the Disney Wish is huge, with countless spots to explore. After spending three days on board, you might just feel like you want three more to experience everything.
