Blake Lively is fighting Justin Baldoni's effort to ban certain evidence from being presented to the jury at their upcoming trial ... including his alleged comments about her weight.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Blake told a judge the alleged remarks about her weight are completely relevant to the case.

In her lawsuit, the "Gossip Girl" alum alleged that Justin -- ahead of a scene in "It Ends With Us" where he had to lift her -- called her personal trainer to inquire about her weight. Justin said he had back problems and needed to be careful. Blake took issue with his call.

Blake argued her claims about the weight-related comments should be heard by the jury when the trial starts in May. She said the information "provides necessary context for evaluating" her claim that he retaliated against her.

The director said the allegations are "irrelevant" and would prejudice a jury ... insisting any comments he made to Blake's trainer have no connection to the alleged smear campaign his team ran against the actress in response to her complaints about on-set behavior by Justin.

Marlon Wayans is loving the fact Terry Crews ripped his shirt off and sent Coachella into a full-blown “White Chicks” frenzy ... but he’s also got one hilarious request: maybe chill on the chest flashes.

Check out the clip ... we caught up with Wayans on Tuesday at LAX, where he couldn’t help but crack up over his “White Chicks” costar recreating his iconic “A Thousand Miles” moment during Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining set at Coachella.

“That boy love his chest,” Wayans told us. “Stop showing your titties to everybody, Terry!”

As we reported ... the film and TV star best known for his roles in "Days of Our Lives," "Melrose Place," and "Starship Troopers" died after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.

Kevin Interdonato, the writer-director of “Dirty Hands,” tells TMZ … the premiere for the crime thriller in which Patrick is the star, is tonight in New Jersey … and what was going to be a celebration of the film is now a celebration of Patrick.

Universal’s live-action "How to Train Your Dragon 2" has hit a rough patch before cameras even finish rolling ... 'cause a crew member just lost multiple fingers in a brutal accident during production.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... a special-effects tech working at the UK's Sky Studios Elstree severed multiple fingers on one hand earlier this month during an incident involving a saw in a workshop tied to production.

Doctors tried to save the severed digits, but they couldn’t be reattached, despite surgery.

Fabio Jackson is having a moment as the ultimate Michael Jackson lookalike ... and with the biopic buzz heating up, some fans are taking it way too seriously.

We caught up with Fabio and his wife in L.A. Monday ... who told us about a wild run-in when a woman came up to him -- thinking he was actually the real late icon -- proclaiming "I knew you weren't dead!"

It’s not a one-off -- Fabio tells us people genuinely do double takes all the time ... and his recent viral meet-up with Jaafar Jackson only added to the lookalike madness.

Jaafar Jackson is deep in promo mode for the "Michael" biopic -- and he’s already shutting down some long-running myths about his iconic late uncle.

At the L.A. premiere Monday, Jaafar addressed the narrative that Michael Jackson "wanted to be white" -- making it clear his battle with vitiligo was a major part of his life that people misunderstood.

He told Extra the film will dive into MJ’s vitiligo journey in full -- showing what he was dealing with from a young age, not the rumors people ran with.

Sydney Sweeney may be one of Hollywood’s hottest names ... but even she isn’t immune to the cutting room floor ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the “Euphoria” star filmed a cameo for the opening scene of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” ... only for her scene to get the axe before the movie’s release.

We're told it just didn't work out, but it wasn't a big deal ... as with any film, there's always plenty left on the cutting room floor.

Entertainment Weekly first reported the news.

Sydney was set to appear as herself in a quick, fashion-heavy moment involving Emily Blunt’s character. The scene reportedly centered around a high-end styling situation tied to Dior ... very on-brand for the glossy, couture-soaked world of Prada.

But despite the star power, filmmakers ultimately decided the cameo didn’t quite fit the final flow of the movie ... and snipped it during editing.

Hollywood turned into MJ mania Monday night as stars walked the red carpet for the premiere of the Michael Jackson biopic, "Michael."

The star-studded event took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles ... and notably saw the King of Pop's eldest child, Prince Jackson, and sister, La Toya Jackson, smile their way down the carpet.

You can see our gallery -- Magic Johnson, Usher, Martin Lawrence, Raven-Symoné, Miles Teller, and so many more showed up to support the film. And, we can't forget the star of it all, Michael's nephew Jaafar Jackson, who plays him in the film, dazzled on the black and gold carpet.

While fans seem to have mixed feelings about the upcoming biopic, one thing's for certain -- Jaafar is the spitting image of his late uncle in all the promos we've seen so far.

Miranda Priestly just reminded NYC who's in charge and honestly, it wasn't even close.

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reunited at "The Devil Wears Prada 2" world premiere at Lincoln Center Monday night, with a red carpet that felt less like a movie event and more like a high-stakes fashion audition. Twenty years later, the iconic foursome slid right back into place like they never left Runway Magazine.

The carpet filled up fast with major names. Heidi Klum, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Dylan Sprouse and Rachel Bloom.

Coco Rocha and Christian Siriano brought the style heat, while Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner added their own flair.

The sequel drops Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel back into NYC's fashion jungle ... only now it’s faster, louder ... and way more digital.

Kaia Gerber and her boyfriend Lewis Pullman have been turning up the heat, hitting the beach for some very needed quality time together.

Check out the pics -- the supermodel was showing off her statuesque frame in a teeny-tiny bikini, linking up with Lewis for a hand-in-hand dip in the ocean during their Mexican getaway over the weekend.

These two were basically glued together ... taking a breather from their hectic schedules to soak up the sun and swap some low-key chatter.

Hulk Hogan, just months before his death, convinced his good friend, President Donald Trump, to sit down for an interview for an upcoming Netflix doc, the director revealed to TMZ Sports.

"Hulk Hogan: Real American" hits the streaming giant next week, and the man behind the highly anticipated four-part series, Bryan Storkel, shared the story of locking down POTUS.

"There's a nice little surprise interview with Donald Trump, which [Hulk] helped me set up. We went to the White House and interviewed Trump and he talked all about Hulk Hogan," Storkel told Babcock.

Bryan says it took a few calls for Hulk to convince the president to do the interview -- he's a busy man -- but DJT eventually came around and agreed to sit down in the spring.

Nadia Farès -- a popular French actress -- has died several days after reports say she was found floating unresponsive in a pool.

Global news agency Agence France-Presse broke the news about Nadia ... citing a statement from her daughters confirming her death.

"Downton Abbey" star Nathalie Baye reportedly died Friday.

She died in the evening at her home in Paris following a Lewy body dementia diagnosis, her family told French press agency, AFP.

Justin Baldoni is calling out Blake Lively's recent request to block talk about her net worth from their upcoming trial ... telling the New York judge all that is super important -- especially 'cause Blake brought her money into the drama in the first place!

In legal docs filed by the actor and director Friday, and obtained by TMZ ... he argues talking about all the dough Blake is rolling in is relevant because she alleged she's lost millions of bucks due to the alleged smear campaign she claims Justin leveraged against her. She claims she lost $161 million as a result of Justin dragging her name through the mud.

Justin doesn't just want Blake's financial status and income streams brought up in the trial -- he says it's important her hubby Ryan Reynolds' is discussed, too, because she "typically does not accept acting opportunities which conflict with Reynolds’ acting schedule – particularly when he is able to garner a higher income for his movies than she can."

Fun Friday stars now, and boy, do we have a sweet treat, so grab a seat! Can you guess which Hollywood hottie put her curves on blast in this jaw-dropping shot?!

She may be the younger sister of a famous actress, but she's amassed her own large following -- known for her fashion influence.

Before this cute kiddo, in his blue hat, was throwing a mean punch and acting on the big screen, he was just posing by his parents' car in the 50s and growing up in Sweden.

He rose to stardom playing the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago ... a role he reprised in 2018 for "Creed II."
