Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settle their legal war, mostly ... plus, Jeffrey Epstein's suicide note raises more questions than answers and Timothée Chalamet makes Kylie Jenner fly solo to the Met Gala. So, we gotta ask ...

Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy couldn't hold back their PDA, but can you snatch the sneaky switches and throw 'em in the pot?!

Earlier this week in NYC, the two actors were snapped on set of "You Deserve Each Other" -- Penn was cool n' casual in a pair of vans, while Meghann's on-screen look also took a laidback approach.

This acting duo is cuffing goals!

Hayden Panetteire's estranged mom says it was no real secret the actress was bisexual ... and she's questioning the timing of her daughter talking about her sexual preferences.

Hayden publicly came out as bisexual this week in an interview promoting her new memoir.

Her mother, Lesley Vogel, -- again, estranged -- ripped Hayden in an interview with The Daily Mail, saying ... "I do not believe it was being hidden, but there is no historic proof that this is the case."

“The Rip” -- Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s movie inspired by a 2016 drug bust in South Florida -- trashed the reputations of some Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office deputies ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

According to reports, the suit was filed against Matt and Ben’s production company, Artists Equity, and claims their Netflix film unfairly damaged the reps of the real-life officers involved.

MDSO deputy Jonathan Santana told NBC 7News ... “When you rip something, you’re stealing something. We never stole a dollar.”

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin had a reunion of sorts this week ... all to celebrate their daughter's college graduation.

Apple got her diploma from Vanderbilt University in Nashville ... after majoring in law, history, and society. Smart (organic, gluten-free, grain-free, vegan) cookie!

The movie star and rocker share two kids ... Apple and her bro, Moses -- and the pair have said over the years they've maintained a friendly relationship since their split in 2014. Still ... it's rare to see them together out in public.

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun are in a state of euphoria ... all grins while walking across a tarmac and jumping in a private jet together.

Photogs captured the pair in Queensland, Australia on Friday ... Scooter is seen pushing along the luggage while a smiling Sydney grasps his right hand.

Sweeney boarded the PJ first ... followed closely by Scooter. Unclear where they're jetting off to ... but one thing's for sure ... they're gonna look adorbs together no matter where they are.

Michael Madsen's sons just beat out their own mother in a legal battle for control over his estate ... TMZ has learned.

Two of Michael's four kids, Max and Christian Madsen, have been appointed personal representatives of the late actor's estate ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Their mom, Michael's ex-wife Jeannine Bisignano, was also vying to be put in charge as a special administrator so she could collect on millions of dollars she claims he owed her when he died.

Meryl Streep and Martin Short seemingly aren't ready to walk their situationship down the runway ... leaving an iconic L.A. hotspot separately late Thursday night.

We're told the two stars left the Chateau Marmont around 11 PM PT ... but they didn't walk out hand in hand -- they walked out when the hands of the clock looked different.

Check it out ... Meryl drove her car away from the venue, alone, while Martin flashed a grin for the cameras as he walked out.

Australian actor Christopher Egan was in his mid 20s when he played Charlie Wyman -- the stubborn guy who doesn't believe in true love -- in the rom-com film "Letters To Juliet" back in 2010.

Egan hit the big screen with Amanda Seyfried -- who played the idealistic Sophie.

9:40 AM PT -- Justin Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman tells TMZ ... “Let’s be clear, this is a win and total victory for the Wayfarer parties. The court had already dismissed 10 of Ms. Lively’s 13 claims, including every sexual harassment claim, every defamation claim, and all claims against the individual defendants. Ms. Lively voluntarily dismissed the rest. In our view, they settled because they knew they were going to lose in court. All that remains is a pending request for fees based on a very narrow issue that has been with the court since September 2025.” 

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's "It Ends With Us" legal war isn't over yet, after all ... she just filed docs seeking money from him under a California law, and Justin's already agreed to abide by whatever the judge decides on the matter.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Blake's attorneys say part of the settlement they hammered out this week, allows her to keep alive one remaining claim against Baldoni and co. for having filed a defamation suit against her.

Remember ... Baldoni filed that suit after Blake filed her sexual harassment complaint against him. In the new docs, her lawyers say California law entitles her to attorneys' fees, and compensatory and punitive damages.

Ultimately, the judge dismissed Justin's defamation suit, which allowed her to use the Cali law to seek these damages. There won't be a jury trial, though ... the judge will decide whether, and how much, Justin's side has to pay.

Blake Lively may have reached a settlement with Justin Baldoni ... but one actor from "It Ends With Us" says the damage done to his friend still lingers.

Check it out ... Adam Mondschein -- who played the doctor in the film's controversial birth scene -- appeared on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Wednesday and accused Lively of hurting Baldoni throughout the explosive court fight.

"I have very firm feelings about the actions that she took," Mondschein said. "She hurt my friend and has been hurting my friend."

Will Smith may have played the genie in the "Aladdin" remake, but now he's the one getting his wishes granted ... because a judge has tossed a sexual harassment suit against him, TMZ has learned.

As you know ... violinist Brian King Joseph -- who toured with Will last year -- sued the actor a few months back for sexual harassment and wrongful termination regarding an alleged incident in 2025.

He claimed someone entered his Las Vegas hotel room when he wasn't there and left a note that read, "Brian, I'll be back ... just us," which he said was signed by "Stone F." Brian claims the alleged intruder also left wipes, beer, and HIV meds. In the suit, he alleges Smith was grooming and priming him for sexual activity.

The violinist claims he was sacked for reporting the incident ... but Will fought back and asked for the suit to be tossed.
