1:22 PM PT -- Bryan Freedman tells TMZ, "Mr. Ari Emanuel is notably one of the best agents, and clearly the most loyal, in Hollywood. As I understand it, Justin hasn’t been called ‘Bologna’ since the fifth grade. Perhaps Ari’s perspective would be different if they had ever met in the half decade they were clients of his agency."

Ari Emanuel, CEO of William Morris Endeavor, is mocking Justin Baldoni and throwing his support behind Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ... explaining why he fired Baldoni from his talent agency.

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good aren't acting in a Narcos reboot -- despite the optics -- the Hollywood stars were in Colombia last weekend for buddy Jas Mathur's birthday bash ... where they chilled with Pablo Escobar's doppelganger!

35-year-old Majors and 43-year-old Good flew down to Escobar's home country last weekend for Mathur -- AKA Limitless -- 40th trip around the sun ... where dozens of Jas' friends celebrated his birthday in Medellín.

Blake Lively wants to go through Justin Baldoni's phone, and she's now fired off a legal demand to get that done ... in hopes of finding a "smear campaign" smoking gun.

Blake's attorneys sent subpoenas to 3 phone carriers -- AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon -- used by Justin, publicists Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan, "It Ends With Us" producer Jamey Heath, crisis manager Jed Wallace and Steve Sarowitz, the co-founder of Justin's Wayfarer Studios.

Diddy says NBC's crossed a very expensive line by putting out a documentary accusing him of murdering Kim Porter and having sex with 2 underaged women ... and now he wants at least $100 million from the network.

Diddy filed the lawsuit Wednesday morning in New York State, ripping NBCUniversal for "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy" ... a documentary streaming on Peacock. While the federally indicted mogul has seen and heard endless allegations against him -- from the feds and in a slew of lawsuits -- he says NBC "maliciously accuses" him of murdering "the love of his life and mother to his children."

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy blasts NBC for that particular claim because the L.A. County Coroner confirmed Kim's death was from natural causes and there's no evidence of foul play. He's also pissed the documentary amplifies YouTube conspiracy theories claiming it can't be a "coincidence" Kim and others in Diddy's world have died.

There's been another Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet sighting -- this time, the makeup mogul was showing major support for her man at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Kylie was right there by Timothée’s side, proudly cheering him on as he took the stage to collect the Arlington Artist of the Year Award on Tuesday -- and you could tell she was loving every moment of being his girl!

Music is going to make or break the upcoming Britney Spears biopic ... so says one of her famed songwriters, who wants to ensure the flick does her career justice.

Claude Kelly, a producer and songwriter who collaborated with Britney on her 2008 hit "Circus," tells TMZ ... biopics about musicians are only as good as their soundtracks.

Claude says for someone like Britney, the music will be more important than all the drama from her story ... and he wants to help make sure the soundtrack is legit.
