Nobody Wants This casts star's real-life spouse to appear in season 2
Netflix may have just released an exciting real-life crossover casting announcement for season 2 of Nobody Wants This.
Doubling down on the hype for the new chapter, the streamer shared that Leighton Meester, who's married to Noah star Adam Brody in real life, has been cast in a guest role.
As if fans weren't already eager to reunite with Noah and Joanne, played by Kristen Bell, it has been revealed that Meester will be playing Joanne's middle school nemesis Abby.

According to a post appeared on Netflix's Twitter/X, the frenemies are expected to cross paths many years later, but it isn't clear whether they'll bury the axe this time around.
Not much else is known about Abby, who's said to be an Instagram mum influencer, but we can guess that she and Joanne may not exactly see eye to eye.
Meester appearing on Nobody Wants This, and working with Bell specifically, also makes for a Gossip Girl reunion.
More recently seen as Meredith in the short-lived How I Met Your Father, Meester is known for portraying Blair Waldorf in six seasons of Gossip Girl, while Bell famously voiced the titular snarky narrator.
Also featuring in comedy Good Cop/Bad Cop on The CW, Meester is next set to appear in season 2 of Apple TV+'s period drama The Buccaneers.

Premiering last year, Nobody Wants This follows the unlikely love story between sex-positive, agnostic podcaster Joanne and 'hot rabbi' Noah, as their families are very vocally sceptical about the relationship.
The show also stars Succession's Justine Lupe as Joanne's sister and podcast co-host Morgan, Veep's Timothy Simons as Noah's brother Sasha, and GLOW's Jackie Thon as Sasha's wife Esther.
Thon graduated to series regular for season 2, with the comedy also adding Miles Flower as Lenny, one of Noah's Matzah Ballers teammates who's set up with Morgan.

Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit in jeopardy after reporter admits texting mistake
Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane may be in jeopardy because of a journalist's text message using the wrong choice of words. Baldoni's filing largely centered on a text sent by a reporter claiming that Sloane said Lively was 'sexually assaulted' by Baldoni. His legal team cited the 'unsubstantiated accusation' as evidence that Sloane pushed a 'false narrative' to 'destroy Baldoni and his reputation.' The journalist who sent the text in question, identified as Daily Mail reporter James Vituscka, has since come forward and clarified the message, admitting that he used those words in error. 'In those text messages, my use of the phrase 'sexually assaulted' was a mistake. I meant to say, 'sexually harassed.' I regret this error,' Vituscka says, according to a signed declaration shared with the Daily News on Friday by law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, which is representing Sloane. 'Ms. Sloane never told me that Ms. Lively was sexually harassed or sexually assaulted by Justin Baldoni or anyone else,' Vituscka says. 'I regret that private text messages were made public.' What's more, Vituscka's text — which he claims he did not authorize to be used in Baldoni's filing — was 'not in reference to any conversation that I had with Leslie Sloane' but to the allegations made in the complaint Lively filed against Baldoni in mid-December, he says. In the initial complaint filed with the California Civil Rights Department, the 'Gossip Girl' star, 37, accused her 41-year-old 'It Ends With Us' director of sexual harassment on the film's set and a retaliatory smear campaign. She formally sued Baldoni at the end of the year. Two weeks later, Baldoni filed his countersuit, accusing Lively, Reynolds and Sloane of defamation and civil extortion. In part using that message from Vituscka, his lawyers claimed Baldoni was targeted in a 'character assassination plot' orchestrated by Sloane at 'Lively's direction.' Sloane has maintained that said she never used the phrase 'sexually assaulted,' and has sought to be dismissed from the case. 'After being wrongfully dragged into this litigation, Leslie Sloane has repeatedly stated that she never used the phrase 'sexually assaulted' which formed the basis of Baldoni's meritless defamation claim against her and today she is fully vindicated by the declaration of James Vituscka that admits she never said those words,' attorney Sigrid McCawley said in a statement sent to The New York Daily News. 'The Wayfarer Parties never even bothered to attempt to confirm whether the outrageous allegations they were launching at Ms. Sloane were true, and they were not.' Legal teams for Lively and Baldoni did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Daily Mail Reporter Subpoenaed by Blake Lively's Publicist Says He Mistakenly Used the Phrase ‘Sexually Assaulted'
A Daily Mail reporter admitted to wrongfully characterizing Blake Lively's claims of sexual harassment as sexual assault on the set of 'It Ends With Us' in a declaration filed Thursday. As the Lively-Baldoni legal plot thickens, reporter James Vituscka was subpoenaed by lawyers for Lively's publicist Leslie Sloane to turn over text messages in which he incorrectly framed the 'Gossip Girl' star's sexual harassment claims as assault. 'In those text messages, my use of the phrase 'sexually assaulted' was a mistake. I meant to say, 'sexually harassed.' I regret this error,' Vituscka's declaration read. 'Ms. Sloane never told me that Ms. Lively was sexually harassed or sexually assaulted by Justin Baldoni or anyone else.' Representatives for Sloane said that after being 'wrongfully dragged into this litigation' the Daily Mail reporter's statement fully vindicates the publicist. 'Leslie Sloane has repeatedly stated that she never used the phrase 'sexually assaulted' which formed the basis of Baldoni's meritless defamation claim against her and today she is fully vindicated by the declaration of James Vituscka that admits she never said those words,' Sigrid McCawley, managing partner of Boies Schiller Flexner, said in a statement obtained by TheWrap. 'The declaration also makes clear that the Wayfarer Parties never even bothered to attempt to confirm whether the outrageous allegations they were launching at Ms. Sloane were true and they were not,' the statement continued. Sloane's representatives continued to characterize the text messages as the Wayfarer team's attempts to 'ruin Ms. Sloane's reputation with this vicious and wrongful attack and she has consistently told the truth and justice has prevailed.' On Tuesday, a judge granted Lively's request to remove claims of emotional distress from her legal action against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director Justin Baldoni. Judge Lewis Liman denied Baldoni's motion to compel because 'the parties have agreed to dismiss Ms. Lively's 10th and 11th causes of action' without prejudice, meaning the court 'will preclude Lively from offering any evidence of emotional distress' in the future.
