Blake Lively ‘begging' Taylor Swift to ‘mend' their friendship after Justin Baldoni subpoena: Report
'Even though Taylor has totally cut ties with her, Blake hasn't with Taylor,' a source told the outlet. 'She's been reaching out to her with texts, voicemails and even emails, begging to mend what they once had. Blake isn't giving up on trying to get her friendship with Taylor back on track.'
Despite the constant messages and voicemails, Swift 'hasn't responded to any of Blake's pleas' and has 'ignored all her groveling excuses.' 'The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor's part and that she'd never do anything to harm their 10 years of closeness and personal secrets,' the source added.
Swift and Lively are allegedly no longer on speaking terms after the former was name-dropped in Baldoni's $400 defamation lawsuit against the latter and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The 41-year-old claimed that his co-star used the singer's influence, referring to her as her 'dragon' to assert dominance.
'The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively's 'dragons,' two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him,' the lawsuit said, per Page Six.
As a result, Baldoni's legal team subpoenaed Swift to testify as a witness in his and Lively's March 2026 trial. While the subpoena was dismissed weeks later, it damaged the Age of Adaline star's friendship with the Lavender Haze singer. According to a previous report by the outlet, Swift felt 'used' and 'doesn't appreciate being referred to as one of Blake's dragons.'

They are searching me full-on right now A woman in the background can be heard saying, "'They are searching me full-on right now." It's unknown if the woman speaking is DiCaprio's girlfriend, 27-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti, who was with him in Ibiza, as per the outlet. "Every single person was patted down and ID'd," the source said, adding that there were many notable people at the party. The Spanish cops just didn't initially recognise DiCaprio, reported Page Six. "It's funny, they did a double-take and then he went in!" the source continued. Travis Scott was denied entry into the exclusive party held at a private villa by Patron and Spanish actor and singer Aron Piper, the Daily Mail reported, but other celebs that made it in included Kendall Jenner and DiCaprio's best friend Tobey Maguire.

DiCaprio has been linked to the Italian-born model since the summer of 2023. But she's said that she doesn't like being known as the "Titanic" star's girlfriend, as per the outlet. "As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of' -- or 'boyfriend of,' for that matter," she said in March. "And that can be extremely annoying." "Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex," she continued. "So it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you," reported Page Six.

Taylor pulled out a mint green briefcase with the alphabets TS on top in orange, which is the theme colour of the album. She opened the briefcase and pulled out the vinyl album of 'The Life of a Showgirl'. 'It was something that I was working on while I was in Europe on the Eras tour,' she said as Travis expressed, 'How on earth did she do this on tour is still blowing my mind.' Taylor shared her exhausting schedule while she made the album and said, 'I just love it a lot. I love music. I would be playing shows, like three shows in a row. I'd have three days off. I'd fly to Sweden, go back to the tour. Actually, like working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating and this…' Travis completed her sentence and said, 'Literally living the life of a showgirl.'

Talking about the album, Taylor shared that it was a representation of what was going on in her life while she was on tour. 'This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour which was so exuberant, electric and vibrant,' she said and added, 'It just comes from the most infectiously joyful wild dramatic place I was in my life and so that effervescence has come through this record.' Taylor mentioned that with this album it will just be the 12 songs that are on the album right now, and she won't be releasing any additional music. 'There's no other songs coming. With The Tortured Poets Department, I was like, here's a data dump of everything I have thought, felt in two or three years. This is 12, there is not a 13th, no 14th, there's no other ones coming. This is the record I have been wanting to make for a very long time,' she said and announced that the album would release on October 3.

JD Vance's Secret Service asks Cotswolds locals for social media details as VP holidays in England: report
US Vice President JD Vance is holidaying in the posh and picturesque area of Cotswolds in the UK with his family — but his arrival has sparked discontent among locals. Once a peaceful escape from city life, the villages around Chipping Norton and Charlbury are now on high alert with a massive police presence. US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance are holidaying in the UK (Photo by SAUL LOEB / POOL / AFP)(AFP) But that's not the worst of it. Some locals allege that JD Vance's huge security convoy took up parking spaces reserved for people with mobility issues at Daylesford Organic, near Chipping Norton. According to a report in the Daily Mail, they cordoned off the whole area during the veep's first full day of family holiday in England. 'Police knocking on every door' Perhaps more shockingly, Vance's Secret Service agents have been accused of knocking on the doors of locals and demanding their names, personal details and social media handles. 'We have had the police knocking on every door,' a dog walker and a resident of the hamlet of Dean, where the Vance family is staying, told Observer. 'They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused,' he claimed. 'We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people.' The claims drew the ire of Britons who asked why a foreign service was questioning them. Police denies claims However, British police working with Vance's Secret Service have denied these claims. A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police told the Daily Mail: '[We] are supporting the United States during the Vice President's visit to our area to ensure the safety of all involved. 'A restricted access area has been put in place in a small part of Dean as part of our operation. 'We spoke to affected residents to ensure we are able to facilitate movement within the restricted access area. Residents were under no obligation to answer any questions and were not asked about social media.'
