Blake Lively's trying to keep her famous friends out of her lawsuit fracas ... because this case isn't about them, it's about Justin Baldoni's treatment of her -- this according to her lawyer.

Sigrid McCawley -- Lively's high-profile attorney who famously represented victims of Jeffrey Epstein -- spoke to reporters outside a Manhattan courthouse Thursday after a hearing in the case wrapped.

McCawley told the assembled media Lively's standing up for all the young women out there ... becoming a real-life example for those who might be afraid to reveal they've been sexually harassed in the workplace.

11:40 AM PT -- Don Lemon posted a statement from his attorney, Abbe Lowell, on his official IG account Thursday after the judge rejected the DOJ's attempt to charge him … noting journalists' First Amendment rights were properly reinforced by the federal judge.

The statement concludes … "Should the Department of Justice continue with a stunning and troubling effort to silence and punish a journalist for doing his job, Don will call out their latest attack on the rule of law and fight any charges vigorously and thoroughly in court."

Don Lemon looks like he's off the hook in Minnesota ... because a judge reportedly swatted away the U.S. Department of Justice's first attempt to charge him with a crime over an anti-ICE protest that tore through a church service.

CNN reports a federal magistrate judge rejected the DOJ's bid to bring charges against the former CNN host, who reported live from Sunday's protest at Cities Church in St. Paul.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is in meeting with federal prosecutors in Minnesota, is reportedly "enraged" at the judge's decision.

In unsealed court docs tied to the ongoing Lively vs. Baldoni "It Ends With Us" legal war, a batch of the British actress' private messages from 2024 with Justin Baldoni’s publicist, Jennifer Abel, are now being submitted as evidence in the case ... and they’re brutal.

Jameela goes all in on the "Gossip Girl" alum, calling her a "suicide bomber" and a "villain," while Jennifer repeatedly drops the C-word.

Sherrone Moore appeared in court on Thursday ... and he looked to be in great spirits with his wife, Kelli, by his side.

The former Michigan Wolverines football coach wore a dark suit and black tie as he walked into the Washtenaw County courthouse ... where he went before Judge J. Cedric Simpson to address his December 2025 arrest.

Kelli -- who shares three daughters with Sherrone -- did not look as thrilled.

Moore's lawyer, Ellen Michaels, spoke with reporters after Thursday's court appearance, emphasizing that her client is "innocent of these charges."

Kelsey Clark cooked up a little trouble for herself in Alabama ... the "Top Chef" winner was arrested for DUI after plowing into a mailbox in Alabama, TMZ has learned.

Here's the scoop ... Dothan PD officers responded to a call Wednesday night to a residential street after Clark drove her vehicle into the mailbox, police said. Officers noticed Clark reeked of booze and showed several other indications of driver impairment, cops said.

Clark was given field sobriety tests, which included walking in a straight line and standing on one foot, according to police. Her performance wasn't great, leading officers to believe she was impaired, cops said.

Harry Styles has been defrosting all week, and now he’s officially thawed ... 'cause he's just announced his 2026 tour -- and there’s only one stop in all of North America!

Days after unveiling his new album, Harry dropped the news on IG, revealing his "Together, Together" tour kicks off in Amsterdam this May, before hitting cities like London, Melbourne ... and one very lonely U.S. stop in New York, ruffling some fans' feathers.

Brandin Cooks is still fired up over the uber-controversial potential-catch-ruled-interception ... and he’s not holding back!

The Buffalo Bills wide receiver (momentarily) reeled in a deep ball in overtime of Sunday’s Divisional Round matchup with Denver, which would've put the Bills in field goal range -- except Broncos cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian yanked the ball away.

Referees controversially ruled it an interception in favor of McMillian ... but Cooks disagrees, telling NFL Network he caught the ball, full stop.

“At the end of the day, it was a catch,” Cooks said. “Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like. You see examples throughout the league all year and in previous years, and you’re like, ‘Wait a minute. If that was a catch, then there’s no-brainer that this was a catch.’”

Jimmy Fallon says J.D. Vance won't have any problems raising another baby ... because the Vice President is used to dealing with a baby ... President Trump.

The late night talk show host poked fun at POTUS in a segment Wednesday night ... highlighting all the similarities he sees between Trump and babies.

Jimmy rattled off countless examples ... screaming, sleeping during the day, speaking in baby talk and on and on ... there was even a potty joke as Jimmy played clips of some memorable Trump soundbites.

Dylan Efron isn’t claiming mama’s boy status ... but he is stepping up big time to back Ashley Tisdale in the middle of that toxic mom group chaos!

Zac Efron’s little bro popped up on "Watch What Happens Live" when a caller put him on the spot about the controversy, and he made one thing crystal clear -- he can’t imagine his brother’s former 'HSM costar ever doing anything malicious, saying Ashley was nothing but sweet to him growing up.

He even tried to smooth things over, suggesting the whole scandal might just be a giant misunderstanding ... adding he genuinely can’t see where the drama would come from on her end.

"KPop Demon Hunters" is continuing its "Takedown" on the awards season ... the massive movie has now earned Oscar nods for Best Animated Feature & Best Original Song for "Golden."

The haul includes Best Picture, Michael B. Jordan for Leading Actor, Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo for Supporting Actress and Actor ... and even a nod in the brand-new Best Casting category.
