I’m a sucker for a good vampire film, whether it features a sexy vampire like Bram Stoker’s Dracula or a nasty one like 30 Days of Night. But one of my personal favorite tales about bloodsuckers is an underrated 2010 release by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig titled Daybreakers. Boasting an all-star cast and an interesting twist on vampire lore, it didn’t make waves upon initial release. And yet, I still find myself banging the proverbial drum for this film, especially today, because the movie is now streaming for free on Vizio WatchFree+.

Daybreakers takes place in 2019 (ten years in the future upon the film’s initial release) where a plague has transformed a majority of the human population into vampires. But without any humans from which to feed, the vampires are now facing a food crisis. Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a hematologist working on creating a blood substitute to save humanity.

Amid Blake Lively trying to navigate her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, the actress became a part of a new controversy. This time it involved an unsettling fan interaction in a Texas hotel lobby. According to a 27-year-old local, Kaitlyn Cooper, while she was delighted to know that she was living in the same luxury hotel as Lively, things soon turned disturbing after the actress started exhibiting paranoiac behavior.

Kaitlyn Cooper explained the whole situation to DailyMail and mentioned how she was excited to see Blake Lively in the hotel and tried capturing the auspicious moment in a short video. However, the situation quickly escalated into a nightmare, as Lively retaliated to being filmed by trying to scare Cooper.

Ever since It Ends with Us came to be transformed from a book into a live-action movie last year, a lot of fire has been surrounding Blake Lively, the film’s lead, for one too many reasons. While the allegations against her are one thing amidst her ongoing lawsuit with Justin Baldoni, she seems to be further drowning in deep waters as controversies enclosing her continue to rise.

For one, quite a few new pieces of evidence and interview excerpts have resurfaced from the past, which is now making everyone question Lively’s stance of being the victim who was s-xually harrassed by Baldoni on the sets of the said film. One of these includes the actress allegedly turning one of her family member’s murder into a joke, which is nothing short of sickening.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing feud has become the talk of the town, with accusations flying back and forth in a lawsuit that’s as messy as Hollywood dramas get. Lively has accused Baldoni of s*xual harassment and defamation, and the fallout is shaking up everyone involved in the movie It Ends With Us. What started as a promising collaboration has quickly spiraled into a full-blown legal battle, leaving both fans and other celebrities stunned.

Blake Lively, once America’s “It Girl,” rose to fame with her bubbly charm in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Her role as Serena van der Woodsen in the hit series Gossip Girl made her star status, and audiences couldn’t get enough of her glamorous persona. But now, the internet is buzzing with resurfaced clips that paint a less flattering picture of the actress, feeding into the controversy surrounding her and the lawsuit.

Alexis Bledel is 5 feet 5 inches (165.1 cm) tall. She is best known for her role as Rory in the TV series Gilmore Girls and has also appeared in films like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Sin City.

To put her height in context, the average size of an American woman is approximately 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm), making Alexis slightly taller than the average.

Alexis Bledel’s shoe size translates to different systems: She wears a size 7 in the United States. In the United Kingdom, it’s equivalent to a size 5; in the European Union, it falls from 37 to 38. In Japan, her shoe size is approximately 24.5 to 25.5.

The American actress has been spotted wearing elegant heels from top brands featured on Your Next Shoes.

“What can I say? I feel good when I’m wearing heels. I feel sexier, attractive,” Blake Lively once shared—and it’s easy to see why. At 5ft 8 ½ inches (174 cm), the actress already stands taller than the average American woman, who typically measures around 5ft 4 inches (162.5 cm).

Yet, she embraces her height with confidence, often elevating her look—literally—with sky-high designer heels. From Louboutins to Stuart Weitzman stilettos, Lively’s footwear choices reflect her bold, fashion-forward style.

Blake Lively is marking a line in the sand on what her favorite role is.

The 37-year-old actress has graced TV and theatrical screens, with many roles, including fan-favorites like Gossip Girl‘s Serena van der Woodsen, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Age of Adaline, It Ends With Us and, of course, A Simple Favor.

Blake recently opened up about which of her roles has been her favorite while attending the 2025 SXSW Festival on Friday (March 7), where she helped premiere her new movie Another Simple Favor.

Blake Lively is amongst the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood. But recently, she has been in the news for all the wrong reasons, all thanks to her legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni. The actors were part of the 2024 hit It Ends With Us, and while the movie broke all records, behind the scenes, something else was brewing between them.

In the midst of this, Lively’s famous friends have also been brought into the mix, the most notable being Taylor Swift. But to the surprise of many, the pop icon has kept mum on the entire situation, something she didn’t do when singer Kesha was involved in a s*xual assault case. This silence has erupted a storm of its own, with fans wondering what’s happening between her and Lively.

The Hollywood star Blake Lively, now embroiled in the legal drama surrounding It Ends With Us, had her breakthrough with the 2005 coming-of-age comedy-drama The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. While the film remains a beloved classic for its heartfelt story and relatable characters, Travis Kelce’s brother found a plot hole in the movie.

Travis Kelce, boyfriend of Lively’s pop star friend Taylor Swift, and his brother Jason Kelce reviewed the film on their podcast, where the latter noted his disappointment in regards to how the ‘Pants‘ in the film’s title doesn’t really add up to the film’s plot in the way that he expected.

Blake Lively rose to fame thanks to her role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005, but she scored the role of a lifetime with her portrayal of Serena van der Woodsen in the CW teen drama Gossip Girl. Throughout the 2010s, Lively had a series of projects in between balancing her family life, and among them was also 2018's A Simple Favor.

Way before her ongoing controversy and legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, it was rumored Lively didn't get along well with her A Simple Favor co-star, Anna Kendrick. However, as the two denied the allegations, they reunited in 2024 in Italy to film the sequel, Another Simple Favor, which is set to premiere soon. However, the release announcement was met with criticism on Prime Video's Instagram post, and even the film's director, Paul Feig, had to show his support for the actress.

Is Blake Lively one of Hollywood’s secretive nepo babies? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Ryan Reynolds once said that he and his wife Blake Lively both come from “working-class” backgrounds. But fans weren’t exactly convinced. After all, Lively’s father was a longtime Hollywood actor, her mother was a talent manager, and her siblings were in the industry too. So, she grew up surrounded by scripts, auditions, and film sets.

That doesn’t exactly scream stumbling to make it. She may not flaunt her Hollywood roots, but they’re definitely there. While she didn’t take the traditional nepo baby route (no starring in a blockbuster at 10) her route to stardom wasn’t as random as it might seem. Did her talent get her where she is today? No doubt. But did her family ties open doors? That’s the real question. Let’s break it down.

Now that the fantasy romance movie, The Age of Adaline, is streaming on Netflix, it is the perfect time to dive into the talented cast of stars who made the 2015 film possible. The Age of Adaline follows a young woman named Adaline who has a fairly normal life in the early 20th century. However, following the tragic death of her husband, Adaline's life begins to fall apart, and she gets into a car accident that should end her life. By some miracle though, Adaline is saved by a lightning strike, and she stops aging completely.

Before trending on Netflix, The Age of Adaline premiered in April 2015 to somewhat mixed reviews. With a 55% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, many felt that the movie took itself too seriously and left too many logistical questions unanswered. Then again, reviewers also admitted that the film was full of touching, romantic moments that never felt overly sweet.

The drama surrounding Blake Lively seems to be never-ending as new reports about her tumultuous working relationship with It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni emerge almost every day. After Lively accused Baldoni of harassing her during the film’s production and filed a legal case against the actor, a TikToker has come forward to share their personal experience with the actress.

Last year, none other than Deadpool's own wife booted "Deadpool & Wolverine" out of the box office number one spot. That is to say, at a time when "Deadpool & Wolverine" was seemingly unbeatable at the box office, star Ryan Reynolds' wife Blake Lively hit number one with her adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2016 novel "It Ends with Us." The movie might well be mired in controversy following accusations of sexual harassment on-set, but the "It Ends with Us" behind-the-scenes drama can't take away from the movie's success.

The romantic drama stars Lively as Lily Bloom, a woman confronting the reality of her abusive relationship, with the "Gossip Girl" alum delivering a solid performance in a film that otherwise failed to wow critics. But that surely doesn't matter to Lively, as her $25 million movie not only managed to dethrone her husband's superhero blockbuster, but also grossed $350 million worldwide.

Now, while...

Justin Spitzer's irreverent, beautifully weird workplace comedy "Superstore," which ran from 2015 to 2021, shared some traits with other popular "office" sitcoms like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Parks and Recreation," and, well, "The Office" — if any of those shows had a running gag about finding severed feet in their respective workplaces, that is. So why did the show end after its sixth season?

The answer is both simple and complicated if I'm being honest; a major star made the choice to leave the series behind for new opportunities, and a global pandemic put a damper on pretty much all human interaction and work for a while. Let's back up for one moment, though. "Superstore," true to its name, takes place in a fictional big-box store called Cloud 9 — which certainly bears some similarities to Targets and Walmarts across the country — and in a particular branch in St. Louis, Missouri that happens to be...

The It Ends With Us behind-the-set tension continues to divide the internet. Following Justin Baldoni's filing of his $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times, Blake Lively's lawyers have addressed the new "attacks" coming from Baldoni's team.

Blake Lively filed a complaint against It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni on Dec. 20, claiming she was sexually harassed and that Baldoni's team started a retaliatory smear campaign against her. The director's team denied the claims and on Dec. 31, the actor-director filed his own lawsuit against The New York Times, who reported Lively's complaint, accusing Lively of trying a smear campaign against him. In a new statement to People, Lively's lawyers are condemning the new "attacks" from Baldoni, stating that Lively's allegations are based on "concrete facts."

Months after subtly addressing her experience with sexual assault, Lucy Hale opened up about her personal journey during the #MeToo movement in a powerful June 2018 cover story for Haute Living Los Angeles.

While acknowledging the prevalence of such experiences, she expressed gratitude for being relatively unharmed.

“I think there are a lot of people who have been intoxicated and taken advantage of. It’s happened to me and people I know. It’s very common,” she said.

Ever wonder how much Blake Lively made from playing a glamorous New York socialite on Gossip Girl? Well, spoiler alert, it’s a lot. Since the moment she first sashayed into our lives as Serena van der Woodsen, Lively has been living her best life. She effortlessly transitioned from a CW teen star to a Hollywood A-lister. And her acting career isn’t the only thing thriving, her bank account is too.

After her successful stint in Gossip Girl, Lively didn’t just stop at fame. She jumped into the world of big-budget films like A Simple Favor and The Shallows, establishing herself as a leading lady in the industry. And who could forget her iconic role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, which basically made her America’s sweetheart?

But you know what? It’s not just her acting gigs raking in the dough.

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers reveal that Gh vet Amber Tamblyn, who played Emily Quartermaine on the soap, has extended her support to actress Blake Lively for her lawsuit against former B&b star Justin Baldini (ex-Graham Darros).

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Tamblyn Played Emily Quartermaine From 1995 to 2001

Tamblyn played Emily for six years, from 1995 to 2001. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Emily Quartermaine, she was the adopted daughter of Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon) and Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson), who took Emily in as their own when her mother, Paige Bowen (Riley Steiner), died from breast cancer.

Emily was romantically linked to Nikolas Cassadine (then Tyler Christopher) and was Elizabeth Baldwin’s (Rebecca Herbst) Bff. Natalia Livingston took over the part of Emily in 2003.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldini recently worked on the film, “It Ends With Us.” They both starred in the movie, and he also directed the project.

WME denied that client Ryan Reynolds pressured Justin Baldoni’s agent to drop him following lawsuits filed by Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively against her “It Ends With Us” costar for sexual harassment.

“In Baldoni’s filing there is a claim that Reynolds pressured Baldoni’s agent at the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ premiere. This is not true,” the agency said in a statement on Wednesday.

“Baldoni’s former representative was not at the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ premiere nor was there any pressure from Reynolds or Lively at any time to drop Baldoni as a client,” the statement continued.

On Tuesday, Baldoni sue the New York Times for $250 million for their Dec. 21 article about Lively’s claims, titled: “‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.” Baldoni was dropped by his WME agent the day the article was published.

Not everything that shines is truly valuable—and in the case of Blake Lively, it might just be true. Hollywood’s darling, known for her charming roles in Gossip Girl and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, is finding herself at the center of a storm.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the cinema world lately, you know that It Ends With Us is hitting theaters hard. While the movie is raking in cash at the box office, it’s not just the on-screen drama that’s grabbing headlines—there’s a whole lot of off-screen turbulence stirring the pot as well.

Did Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively underplay their privileged upbringing? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Reynolds explained how his and Blake Lively’s childhood experiences shaped the way they raise their children, striving to provide them with a grounded upbringing while acknowledging the luxuries they didn’t have as kids.

“We try to give them as normal a life as possible. I try not to impose upon them the difference in their childhood to my childhood or my wife’s childhood,” the actor said. “We both grew up very working class, and I remember when they were very young, I used to say or think, like, ‘Oh God, I would never have had a gift like this when I was a kid,’ or, ‘I never would’ve had this luxury of getting takeout,’ or whatever. Then I realized that that’s not really their bag of rocks to carry.

There are times when Hollywood stars drop the ball in an interview, and Ryan Reynolds has brought a whole host of hurt down on himself and wife Blake Lively after making the bold statement that the couple both grew up in "working class" families. Reynolds originally made the comment in a lengthy interview with The Hollywood Reporter, but when it was later shared on Instagram, users did not take long to pile in on the subject.

So what has Reynolds said to incur the wrath of keyboard warriors and regular working class folk alike? It all began when he discussed the upbringing of the couple’s four children. According to Reynolds, he and Lively attempt to keep 10-year-old James, Inez, who is eight, Betty, five, and their newest addition, one-year-old Olin, out of the spotlight as much as possible and give them a “normal” childhood despite their parents’ careers. While explaining this,...

Blake Lively's controversial movie that made $351 million at the box office has landed on Netflix's global chart. The actress broke through in 2005 with her supporting role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and returned for its 2008 sequel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. However, Blake Lively gained further recognition for her role as Serena van der Woodsen in The CW's popular teen drama Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012.

During and after Gossip Girl, Lively starred in several romantic comedies in supporting roles, such as the anthology New York, I Love You, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, and Woody Allen's Café Society. She also starred in several thrillers, Ben Affleck's The Town and Oliver Stone's Savages, and the superhero movie Green Lantern, where she met her husband, Ryan Reynolds. After several supporting roles, Lively went on to star as the lead in The Age of Adaline,...

The highly anticipated film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s “It Ends With Us” is now streaming on Netflix after first hitting theaters this summer, and it’s got a star-studded cast.

After initial announcements of Blake Lively playing the 23-year-old Lily Bloom, fans of the book weren’t convinced that Justin Baldoni’s adaptation would live up to the hype. Baldoni, who plays Lily’s love interest, Ryle, also directed and produced the film with his production company Wayfarer.

Both Hoover and Baldoni publicly stated that it was a joint decision to age up the characters, and one they hoped would make the story of domestic violence more universally accessible to a greater range of women.

“When we chose to partner with Sony and turn this into a major motion picture, obviously you need a movie star, [Lively] was one of the first names that was brought up, and all of...

Blake Lively's acting career originated in a romance film. She got her start in the teen coming-of-age romance drama The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. This movie tells the story of four girls who are best friends, who pass around a pair of jeans that magically fits all of their bodies perfectly. Lively played Bridget in the film, which was career-defining for a number of its stars, including Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, and America Ferrera. Lively followed up her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants role in the sequel three years later.

In addition to this trouser-based duology, Lively has played roles in several other films wherein romance is a primary element. This includes, among others, New York, I Love You, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, and The Age of Adelaine. Lively also starred in a more controversial romance movie this year, which did well at the box office.

Blake Lively thoroughly enjoyed Jason Kelce’s in-depth review of her 2005 movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

The actress took to her Instagram Story on Friday to share her reaction to the former NFL player’s comments about the coming-of-age film. During a recent episode of his and his brother Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, Jason couldn’t fully understand the meaning behind the “pants,” as they “didn’t have much to do with the plot.”

Lively explained that Ann Brashares, the author of the book the movie is based on, told her while filming the movie “that she actually added the pants after the book was written because she was given the note to add a ‘magical element.'”

“Mind you, this is when Harry Potter hit, so everyone was looking for magic in youth books,” the It Ends with Us star continued. “She used the pants...
