The suit filed in federal court in New York by Baldoni and production company Wayfarer Studios seeks at least $400 million for damages that include lost future income. It alleges that Lively and Reynolds hijacked the production and marketing of It Ends With Us and manipulated media to smear Baldoni with false allegations of sexual and other harassment. “This is a case about two of the most powerful stars in the world deploying their enormous power to steal a film right out of the hands of its director and production studio. Then, when Lively and Reynolds’ efforts failed to win them the acclaim they believed they deserved, they turned their fury on a chosen scapegoat,” the suit read. The lawsuit comes two weeks after Lively sued Baldoni and others tied to the film, alleging they retaliated against her for coming forward about her treatment on the set.

17 January,2025 08:04 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentHollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is donating $1 million to help Los Angeles recover from the devastating wildfires. The Oscar winner announced on his Instagram Stories that he is donating $1 million toward relief efforts. “The Los Angeles wildfires are devastating our city. I am committing $1 million in partnership with @rewild’s Rapid Response Program to support both urgent needs and post-fire recovery efforts (sic),” he wrote. “Initial aid will immediately benefit the LA Fire Department Foundation, California Fire Foundation, World Central Kitchen, California Community Foundation, Pasadena Humane Society, and SoCal Fire Fund—organisations on the frontlines providing much-needed resources to our first responders and fire-fighters, and the people, animals and communities who need it most,” added the actor. DiCaprio, who grew up in LA, and co-founded Re:wild, wrote that its Rapid Response Program is “uniquely positioned to respond to environmental disasters and emergencies”. The wildfires that sparked on January 7 have become the most destructive in LA history, with thousands of people displaced and a death toll set at 25. Jamie Lee Curtis’ family pledged to donate $1 million toward disaster relief efforts to support “our great city and state and the great people who live and love there”, she had previously said. Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and more stars have volunteered to help first responders and families affected by the fires. Grammy winner Beyonce is helping those affected through her BeyGOOD charity foundation. The charity foundation was said to donate $2.5 million to help families rebuild after they’ve suffered losses. Jay Leno is also giving back to the first responders fighting the wildfires. The former Tonight Show host gave out meals to the fire-fighters fighting the Palisades Fire Monday night, nearly one week after the blaze ignited in the area. Leno told CNN they served “hot food” as opposed to the “boxed lunches” that many first responders have been consuming while battling the harrowing fires. “We’re cooking for the crew, and you guys if you’re hungry. We got a big barbecue going,” he reportedly said. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

17 January,2025 07:23 AM IST | Los Angeles | AgenciesActress Sofia Vergara seems to be racing down the track, and perhaps drifting towards a new romance as she has been linked to F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. With this, a hot new Hollywood couple could be in the marking, reports 'Mirror.co.uk'. The 'Modern Family' actress, 52, and the F1 legend, 40, enjoyed a lunch date in New York City recently and were all smiles as they grabbed a bite to eat. According to TMZ, Sofia and Lewis sat next to each other for the meal, joined by friends at some point, and mum-of-one Sofia was said to be so engaged in the conversation she only picked at her food. As per 'Mirror.co.uk', Sofia and Lewis left the restaurant and engaged in some flirting outside the eatery before Sofia hopped in the back of a black SUV and headed home. However, no official confirmation has been furnished by either parties so far. Lewis, who switched teams from Mercedes to Ferrari at the end of last year, was in an on-and-off relationship with Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 until 2015. Over the years, the British driver has been linked to huge celebrities like Rihanna and model Gigi Hadid. Sofia shares a 32-year-old son with his first husband Joe Gonzalez. Sofia and True Blood star Joe Manganiello, 48, tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida in 2015 but announced their separation in July 2023, with their divorce settled at the start of last year. Speaking in January 2024, one month before her divorce was finalised, Sofia opened up about her split from "younger husband" Joe Manganiello, revealing a disagreement over children led to their separation. At the time of announcing their split, Sofia and Joe described it as a "difficult decision" without delving into the details behind their unexpected breakup. In an interview with Spanish newspaper 'El Pais', Sofia got candid about the end of her relationship with the Magic Mike actor, citing their differing views on starting a family as the cause for their split. "My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn't want to be an old mom", she said. "I feel it's not fair to the baby".
