Ryan Reynolds Doesn’t Regret Getting Involved With It Ends With Us

Recent court filings related to Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios have revealed a series of text messages sent by Ryan Reynolds. In one group chat with Lively, Matt Damon, and Luciana Barroso Damon, Reynolds jokingly called the set of It Ends With Us “legendary Hollywood insanity” and suggested it would make a good movie itself. He also expressed frustration to his agent, Warren Zavala, that rumors of on-set drama were hurting the film’s box office performance, blaming Wayfarer Studios for creating a “big mess.” Reynolds was particularly upset by what he saw as attempts to portray Lively negatively, calling the narrative of her being a “controlling bitch” ridiculous. Reynolds’ spokesperson stated he stands by his texts, adding that he wishes he’d been even more forceful in defending his wife and advocating for a safe work environment.

Stephen Colbert Sets Date for Final Episode of The Late Show

Stephen Colbert revealed his biggest wish for a guest on his show before May 21st: Pope Leo XIV. It’s a fitting desire, as Leo has ties to Chicago, just like Colbert, who is a Chicago Catholic. Colbert even went above and beyond to meet the previous Pope Francis, gathering a group of comedians to join him. Recounting the trip, Seth Meyers admitted he immediately refused Colbert’s invitation. Colbert, however, took a helicopter from the studio to the airport just to make it to Vatican City on time. When Meyers quipped that Pope Francis wouldn’t be an exciting guest, Colbert strongly disagreed, playfully warning that the Swiss guards – with their distinctive uniforms – wouldn’t hesitate to intervene. He urged people to look up pictures of the guards, describing them as both comical and surprisingly intimidating.
