Blake Lively scored a massive victory against Justin Baldoni in her "It Ends With Us" legal war ... and she's feeling pretty damn fantastic about it, TMZ has learned.

A source close to Blake tells TMZ … the actress was feeling "grateful, vindicated and relieved" after the judge threw out the lawsuit filed by Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios on Monday morning.

We're told Blake's proud she stood strong and used her voice ... and thankful the judge saw through the other side's charade … and ruled Justin’s counterclaims can’t be used as retaliation.

6/10 8:00 AM PT -- In an earlier version ... TMZ inaccurately reported that Justin Baldoni's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss Blake Lively's claims in her lawsuit.

Justin Baldoni just lost BIG in his legal war with Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and The New York Times ... because all of his claims against them have been dismissed.

A judge threw out the lawsuits filed by Baldoni and his Wayfair production company Monday, according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, dealing a huge blow to the Baldoni camp.

As you know ... Justin and Wayfarer were suing Blake and Ryan for $400 million and the New York Times for $250 million, alleging defamation over an article about all the drama on the "It Ends With Us" movie set ... a story Baldoni alleged was a part of a smear campaign against him.

Jamie Foxx has lived many Hollywood lives -- party boy, Oscar winner, heartbreaker, survivor, and more.

If you know anything about him, you know Jamie works hard, and plays harder -- from training full throttle to play Mike Tyson, to dodging Katie Holmes rumors, to living large in Vegas (even if he's found himself in a scuffle or two).

Then came the real scare -- a mystery illness in 2023 that turned out to be a life-threatening brain bleed.

According to the report, a few of these women claim Leto asked for their phone numbers ... including one who says she was just 16 years old when he texted with her in 2006.

Mel Gibson was hamming it up for the cameras -- or should it be prosciutto? -- dining solo in Rome while working on his latest film project.

A source close to Mel tells TMZ ... He's in Rome for pre-production of "Resurrection of the Christ" -- which is the follow-up to his 2004 biblical epic, "The Passion of the Christ."

Dakota Johnson’s the queen of savage rid-or-die energy -- because she once mailed a gallon of gorilla poop to her friend’s ex.

Yup, you heard right -- Dakota spilled the dirty tea on Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Video Series, saying she figured the guy wouldn’t be watching anyway ... so she just confessed to ordering a delivery of some grade-A, stinky revenge.

Dakota said the messy deed went down a few years back ... and when asked where one would even go to cop a similar gift, she didn’t miss a beat -- pointing folks to the website she ordered from, which has since rebranded itself, swapping in the word "poop" for "sh*t."

Derrick Henry is already one of the best running backs in the NFL, but Adam Sandler just gave him an incentive to go even harder on the gridiron ... 'cause the "Happy Gilmore" actor says if the Ravens star hits 2,000 rushing yards this season -- he'll give him a movie role!!

Henry was on the "Dan Patrick Show" on Wednesday ... and at one point in the convo, the two got to talking about Sandler, as the host was rocking a "Happy Gilmore 2" sweatshirt.

It turns out Henry is a big fan of the Sandman ... so Patrick laid out a challenge -- if he hits 2k yards this year, he'll have the acting great find a way to get him in his next movie.

Jason Biggs is getting real about his wild past with drugs and booze -- and he describes a night he was so out of hand, he ended up retrieving a bag of cocaine straight out of a stranger's trash can.

The actor spilled the tea on the "Well with Arielle Lorre" podcast, revealing that after shooting to fame with "American Pie" at age 19, he had cash, coke, and no one telling him "no" during his blackout coke and booze binge fiending phase -- not even his wife, Jenny Mollen.

He recalled snorting coke at 4 AM while his wife slept one night, and having anxiety about obligations he had later in the day ... so he tossed the baggie in his own trash to stop himself. But 15 minutes later, he came crawling back to dig it out and snort another line.

In the no-bars-held revelation, reported by People, Billy said he admitted to having an affair with Elizabeth Weber -- the wife of his pal and former bandmate Jon Small -- when Jon became suspicious. At the time, they were all living together -- which is when BJ said he fell "in love" with her.

As you may know, Weinstein has been receiving medical treatment at Bellevue for his multitude of illnesses while in custody.

In a snippet obtained by Fox 5 New York, he told Scotto, "I have regrets that I -- from my family -- through this, that I put my wife through this, that I acted immorally. I put so many friends through this and hurt people ... that were close to me, by the way, by actions that were stupid. But never illegal, never criminal, never anything."
