Blake Lively's victory tour continues as she makes gloating speech at drinks event after Justin Baldoni win
Blake Lively was still reveling in the joy of her blockbuster Justin Baldoni win this week as she made a gushing speech at an event for her drinks company.
The It Ends With Us actress, 37, was full of joy as told fans how 'proud' she was of her company and reveled in meeting fans amid her seemingly never-ending legal wrangle.
The event was held at Maxwell Social House in New York City on June 11 for the debut of two new vodka iced teas Meyer Lemonade and Passion Fruit.
'We spent so much time on every single flavor, genuinely,' Lively said during her speech at the event, adding that 'they really are from recipes in my home, something that we make over and over again.'
She added that it is 'really fun to celebrate with you guys' and 'we're so proud to be here,' People reported.
Earlier this week, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Blake.
The judge told Baldoni and his team at Wayfarer Studios that they can amend two claims by June 23.
Those claims are related to breach of implied contract and tortious interference with contract.
Meanwhile, Blake and her legal team are over the moon and consider it a significant legal victory.
'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it.'
Baldoni is reportedly dejected by the outcome, according to his attorney Bryan Freedman.
TMZ reported that Baldoni thought the decision was 'not fair,' calling him 'a person who wants to be vindicated.'
'He's waiting for his day in court, where he can speak out to tell the truth.'
The trial is set for March 2026.

Freedman went on to say 'We got started because Blake Lively filed a CRD complaint and then walked over and filed a lawsuit,' he said.
That lawsuit, 'accused some very good people of a smear campaign and accused a terrific young man of sexual harassment - both of the which were completely untrue.'
'And that's where the case got started' and 'where the case stands today.'
'What we wanted our win is to show there was no smear campaign, and there's no sexual harassment,' Freedman explained.
'And she hasn't proved a thing - as a matter of fact, it's just the opposite.'
He continued: 'Look at the facts, look at what's been shown, look at the receipts, look at the video.'
Freedman told the outlet that proving the claims Lively made to be false has always been the chief focus for Baldoni's team, 'in addition to getting damages.'
He said he was hoping Lively didn't 'drop her lawsuit ... because she's on a false victory tour, and she's afraid of the truth.
Blake looked lovely at the event in a mid-thigh length skirt and jacket in a blue, purple, yellow and green.
She wore the skirt suit over a white camisole and slipped her feet into blue peep-toed heels.
The mom of four wore her long blonde hair in a saucy ponytail.
Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, are parents to daughters James, 10, Inez, eight and Betty, five, as well as son Olin, two.

She's an iconic actress from a famous Hollywood family and was married to another Oscar winner... who is she?
This Oscar-winning star has spent decades in the spotlight and comes from a famous family. Her first role was in 1987's Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and she went on to score an Academy Award years later. One of her two recognizable ex-husbands, Nicolas Cage, is also an Oscar-winning A-lister. And her younger brother appeared in a horror movie franchise, where he met his superstar ex-wife. On Thursday, the female star attended the Gonzo Girl premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Can you guess who it is? The acclaimed Hollywood veteran is Patricia Arquette. For Thursday's occasion, the 57-year-old actress — who r evealed she's on dating apps earlier this year — modeled a midnight blue satin dress with long-sleeves, a waist tie, and a long pleated skirt. While posing on the red carpet, the Escape at Dannemora was joined by 53-year-old brother David Arquette. The Scream sensation was by his sister's side to support her film, which she directed and also stars in. He was dressed in a cherry-red blazer, which he layered over a crew neck white T-shirt and wore with light-colored khaki trousers. The Hollywood vet, who shares 20-year-old daughter Coco with ex-wife Courteney Cox, tied the look together with white, black, and red Nike sneakers. The Arquettes' other siblings are 65-year-old Rosanna Arquette, 61-year-old Richmond Arquette, and the late Alexis Arquette, who died of HIV in 2016 at age 47. Patricia carried a yellow-gold handbag on Thursday evening and her light brown bob was coiffed in a side part and tight waves. While posing on the red carpet, the Escape at Dannemora was joined by her younger brother, actor David Arquette While on the red carpet she also posed with the star of her film, 27-year-old actress Camila Morrone. Morrone, who used to date Leonardo DiCaprio, looked typically stunning in a form-fitting and low-cut white dress. Her long and lustrous brunette locks were parted down the middle and flowed over her chest in a subtle wave. Camila stars as Alley Russo in Patricia's dramedy Gonzo Girl, which is based on the 2015 novel of the same name by Cheryl Della Pietra. Alley is a bookish graduate with literary aspirations who takes a job assisting a famous writer with a wild reputation, Walter Reade (Willem Dafoe), at his Colorado ranch. Arquette premiered the indie project at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023. Since then she's recut it in hopes of landing a buyer. She told IndieWire about her directorial debut, 'I feel so grateful to the producers and for this opportunity to go back in and continue to learn about the filmmaking process and be able to re-edit this movie. 'It's been really fun and interesting, and so many people have helped in this process. It's exciting.'

Taylor Swift fans left outraged after spotting 'uncomfortable' detail about Travis Kelce at Stanley Cup Finals
For as long as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating, fans have loved everything about them. Whether it's the way Travis supports Taylor's music career or how she cheers him on at Kansas City Chiefs games, the couple have become fan favorites. But Taylor fans recently found something about the pair - specifically Travis - that they are not actually that keen on. Because Swifties have been going wild over the way the NFL tight end sits in chairs. This became especially apparent after the couple, both 35, made an appearance at the Stanley Cup final together on Thursday. In a now-viral video, the pair could be seen sitting together in coordinated outfits locked deep in conversation. But it was not what they were saying that caught the attention of fans - it was the way Travis was sitting. In true manspreading fashion, Travis could be seen with very small, red shorts on and his legs spread apart - and viewers were not having it. Taylor fans expressed their anxiety over how wide Travis spread his legs and how short his shorts were 'Travis please close your legs I feel anxious,' one fan tweeted, citing the video as a reference. 'I DIDN'T WANNA BE THE ONE TO SAY IT but holy hell the manspreading. I'm stressing for him,' another X (formerly Twitter) user chimed in. 'I feel like them shorts ride up anymore, we will be seeing everything,' another fan said, followed by a laughing emoji. One fan then pointed out that his sitting stance was similar to when he was on the former Whiskey Ginger podcast with Andrew Santino when the clip was posted with a Kansas City Chiefs sticker placed over his crotch to hide any inappropriate view. In fact, years later on Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce's podcast, they brought Andrew on and discussed the moment. Andrew admitted that he had his editor put the sticker over his lower half because 'his boys were sliding out.' Even though this seems to be recurring issue for Travis, it seems like he may have got the message. Fans joked shortly after the original video went viral that Travis 'saw the tweets,' referencing a photo of him at the event shortly after with his legs closed. Users joked at Travis changing his stance and closing his legs later on during the game 'Dying at how uncomfy he looks,' one X user shared. 'Security side eye telling him to keep his hands in his own lap,' another pointed out. But some jumped to Travis' defense saying that the entire ordeal was no big deal. 'I'm sure he's wearing compression shorts to keep everything tucked away,' one user said. While others said they barely realized his manspreading was so intense. 'She looks AHmazing here,' one user wrote. 'So much so that I didn't even notice his potential wardrobe malfunction.'

The Simpsons secrets revealed as show hits huge milestone including special episode spoilers, predictions & best cameos
FURIOUSLY sketching a yellow family on the back of a piece of paper, cartoonist Matt Groening had just minutes to impress a room full of waiting TV executives. The small-time comic strip maker had been given a shot at coming up with the next big animated series to fill a slot on American sketch series The Tracey Ullman Show. 12 12 Little did he know that the rushed doodle of a dad slumped on the sofa, a mother with towering hair and three kids — one loud, one weird and one mute — would soon take the world by storm. Now, more than 35 years on, The Simpsons is on the brink of celebrating its 800th episode. In a rare interview, Matt, 71, told how inspiration for the family could not have come from closer to home. While receiving an Honorary Cristal Award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival this week, he joked: 'It's a little-known fact that my parents' real names were . . . Itchy and Scratchy. 'No, seriously, I have a real father called Homer, a real mother called Marge, real siblings called Lisa and Maggie and a real grandfather called Abe.' Contrary to popular opinion, that does not mean that Matt based cheeky practical joker Bart on himself. Instead, he thinks of himself more like Bart's nerdy and awkward best friend Milhouse. The idea for the cartoon may have been simple, but Matt has never run out of steam. Now in its 36th series, The Simpsons is currently on episode 790, with the milestone instalment due to air soon. Actress Yeardley Smith, who has been the voice behind Lisa Simpson since the start, revealed that the cast had already gathered for a table read to test out the script for the 800th show, which is believed to be the finale of the current run. She was joined by Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge), Sabrina Carpenter's aunt Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Harry Shearer (Ned Flanders), Hank Azaria (Moe and Chief Wiggum) and Pamela Hayden (Milhouse). Matt teased: 'Our main motivation is to surprise ourselves. 'We figure that if we can surprise ourselves, we will probably surprise the audience as well. 'We have parodies of cinema and references to books, TV shows and personal autobiographical anecdotes. 'As it goes on, we become known for different kinds of jokes.' One constant that fans love though is the celebrity cameos. 12 12 12 Huge names who have featured over the years include Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, Gordon Ramsay, Elon Musk and former Prime Minister Tony Blair. And the writers also famously have a spooky knack for predicting the future. From Donald Trump becoming President to the creation of Apple's FaceTime, viewers heard it from Springfield first. But even with hundreds of episodes under his belt, Matt has no plans to shelve the series any time soon. In fact, he even hopes it lives on long enough to catch up with the timeline of another hit Groening production, Futurama. Matt joked: 'The Simpsons will still be on air in the year 3000! 'Unfortunately, critics will say the show has really been going downhill in the last one thousand years.' Here, we take a dive into The Simpsons' history books to look at its famous cameos and amazing predictions. The predictions IT'S not just the gags that have fans hooked, but the fact the hit series has long had an uncanny habit of predicting major future events. Through the show's 36 series, a number of storylines have been manifested into real life after first making their appearance in the form of cartoon animation. In 2000, Bart To The Future saw Lisa Simpson becoming US President, but a billboard in the background of one shot had a billboard ad for 'TRUMP 2024'. Another episode in 1993 predicted COVID-19, when a flu spread through Springfield residents, while the EBOLA outbreak was predicted in a 1997 scene. 12 Elsewhere, the cartoon predicted the 2013 HORSE MEAT scandal, in its episode aired in 1994, which saw schoolkids unknowingly served horse meat for lunch. In a 1995 episode titled Lisa's Wedding, people were seen using SMART WATCH-like devices to communicate – an entire two decades before Apple launched their wearable gadget, while technology similar to FACETIME also featured. And in 1998, Homer appeared to figure out the mathematical equation behind the HIGGS BOSON discovery, 14 years before particle physicists confirmed the concept. A 2012 episode, Lisa Goes Gaga, saw the young character watching singer LADY GAGA at the Super Bowl – suspended from the air in the same manner as the star's real-life 2017 show. And in 2019, Mr Burns attended an exclusive gathering for celebrities, which was spookily similar to rapper P Diddy's infamous scandal-hit 'white parties'. The celebrity cameos THE Simpsons is not short on memorable characters. But that hasn't stopped some of the world's most recognisable stars from wanting to have their moment being reimagined in yellow. The Beatles' RINGO STARR was the first of the group to make an appearance in 1991, where he appeared as himself to encourage family matriarch Marge to pursue a career in the arts. He was soon followed in series five's Homer's Barbershop Quartet by GEORGE HARRISON, in 1993, and SIR PAUL McCARTNEY in 1995, who convinced Lisa to go vegetarian. SIMON COWELL first appeared in the series in 2004 as a brutally honest telly talent judge, while Space X tycoon ELON MUSK landed in a spaceship in an episode in 2015 and TONY BLAIR met with Homer in a 2003 episode that featured an animated version of the Queen. Needless to say, Her Majesty did not guest star. While Coldplay's CHRIS MARTIN sang in an animated concert as part of the series in 2010, telly chef GORDON RAMSAY made his appearance in 2011. And comedian RICKY GERVAIS cropped up not once but twice, starring in 2006 episode This Is Your Wife, and lending his voice to Season 22's Angry Dad: The Movie in 2011. There's been no shortage of pop stars either, with BILLIE EILISH recording alongside Lisa in an animated short in 2022. Other big chart names who have featured include TOM JONES, STING, ELTON JOHN, MERYL STREEP and DOLLY PARTON.
