Harrison Ford Revealed Why He'll Never, Ever Retire
Harrison Ford is 83-years-old. The Age of Adaline actor was asked by Variety if he'll ever retire, and his answer is a good one, like, yeah, I get it. "No. That's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts." Old people... for old people parts. Right! The replies to a tweet by Discussing Film about the quote are pretty good. One person called it "High IQ thinking." Another person said, "Yeah his point is valid." And this person complimented his prose: "God he's a poet."

Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni's Deposition Postponed to THIS Date Amid Ongoing Legal Battle, Here's Why
Blake Lively's deposition date in the Justin Baldoni case has been postponed. The proceedings will now take place on July 31. According to media reports, the decision to push back the date was taken after Jed Wallace, a social media guru, was dismissed from the lawsuit due to jurisdiction issues. Because Wallace was dismissed without prejudice, the actress has the option to refile the lawsuit if she wishes to. Blake Lively's deposition date in Justin Baldoni case postponed As the decision about the postponement of the deposition was made public, a spokesperson for the Another Simple Favor star revealed to TMZ that Lively respects the court's decision to dismiss Wallace from the case. Adding the reason behind the judge's ruling, the source revealed to the media portal that it "has nothing to do with the merits of her allegations about Mr. Wallace's role in the smear campaign and relates solely to the procedural question of whether he is subject to jurisdiction in New York or elsewhere.' Lively's team went on to state further that they are evaluating "numerous options for holding Mr. Wallace accountable." Meanwhile, ahead of the deposition in the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni case, the actress was granted a protective order. The judge ruled that the defendant relocate to the place decided by the mother of four. In its statement, the court mentioned, "Lively is a plaintiff who has hurled serious allegations of misconduct against the Wayfarer Parties.' They further added, "Like all defendants, the Wayfarer Parties are entitled to depose Lively to develop evidence crucial to their defense. They are also entitled to choose the location of the deposition, which they did." However, Baldoni's lawyers accused the Age of Adaline actress of using her star power to control the deposition. While the proceeding of the case will take place at the end of this month, the trial dates in the legal battle have been set for March 2026.

Justin Baldoni gains access to Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's private texts in legal victory
Taylor Swift got dragged back into Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's 'It Ends With Us' feud after her subpoena to appear in court was dismissed. US District Judge Lewis Liman ruled on Wednesday that the 'Jane the Virgin' star can request communications between the singer and Lively concerning the 2024 domestic violence film, according to documents obtained by Page Six. 'The requests for messages with Swift regarding the film and this action are reasonably tailored to discover information that would prove or disprove Lively's harassment and retaliation claims,' Liman claimed. The messages, however, must be about the film based on Colleen Hoover's 2016 novel of the same name, or Lively, 37, and Baldoni's ongoing legal challenge. The 'Gossip Girl' star's lawyers attempted to bargain with Baldoni's team, saying they would hand over any documents the latter's attorneys desire, but not Swift's text messages, in return for 'all video footage related to the film and full, unredacted versions of communication' listed in Baldoni's complaint. Baldoni's attorney denied the agreement. Reps for Swift and Lively weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. The judge's ruling comes after Lively asked the court to protect her messages with Swift, 35, on Friday. According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the 'Age of Adaline' star argued that the messages are 'not central' to the case, including her December lawsuit accusing Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment and coordinating a smear campaign to ruin her career. Swift was dragged into the director and Lively's legal drama in January, when she was mentioned in Baldoni's $400 million counter lawsuit, which has since been dismissed. Per the filing, the 'Five Feet Apart' director accused the actress of using the 'Lover' songstress and her husband Ryan Reynolds' status to get her way on the 'It Ends With Us' set. Baldoni alleged he was invited to the A-list couple's home, where 'a famous, and famously close, friend' was also present to discuss 'script re-writes.' Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, cited alleged text messages between his client and Lively, which stated that Swift and Reynolds, 48, were her 'dragons' and protectors. '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,' Freedman claimed. In May, Swift was subpoenaed as a witness in the March 2026 trial, though the request was later dropped. The legal drama has caused a rift between the pop icon and Lively, with an insider telling Page Six that Swift will 'forever be furious' at the actress for bringing her into the mess.

Blake Lively ‘begging' Taylor Swift to ‘mend' their friendship after Justin Baldoni subpoena: Report
Amid the rumoured tensions between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift, a new report reveals that the Gossip Girl star is 'begging' the pop singer to become friends once again. The 35-year-old singer allegedly cut ties with A Simple Favor actress after being dragged into her legal battle with Justin Baldoni. However, the 37-year-old actress has tirelessly been reaching out to the Midnights hitmaker, according to Daily Mail. '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.'
