Taylor Swift is still ‘keeping her distance’ from Blake Lively after getting ‘hurt’
Blake Lively allegedly used Taylor Swift as an intimidation tactic with Justin Baldoni.
Taylor Swift is still keeping her distance from Blake Lively as the actress’s legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni intensifies.
Weeks following initial reports of a rift between the close friends, source tells Page Six that Swift still “needs space” after her name was dragged into the lawsuit.
Taylor is really hurt by this whole situation and feels like a pawn,” they claimed.
According to the insider, Swift has been “taking a break” from her friendship with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
“Taylor wants nothing to do with this whole ordeal,” the source said. “She has always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesn’t appreciate being thrown into this at all.”
The tension reportedly stems from Baldoni’s countersuit, which revealed texts in which Lively allegedly referred to Swift as one of her “dragons.” Baldoni also claimed he was pressured by “two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world” to accept Lively’s rewrites for a key rooftop scene in It Ends With Us.
While the texts don’t specify names, many believe Lively was referring to Swift and Reynolds.
Davy, a Zimbabwean-born entrepreneur, launched the venture in 2020
Chelsy Davy shuts down her luxury travel company after financial struggles
Prince Harry’s former girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, has officially closed her luxury travel company, Aya Luxury Travel, after facing persistent financial difficulties.
Documents filed on Monday reveal that the company, which specialised in high-end African getaways, is being struck off at Companies House, leaving behind nearly £22,000 in unpaid debt, reported GB News.
Davy, a Zimbabwean-born entrepreneur, launched the venture in 2020 with the vision of curating bespoke travel experiences.
However, the business struggled to recover from the setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which heavily impacted the global travel industry.
Despite her efforts, the financial burden proved insurmountable, leading to the dissolution of the company. Any remaining assets will be transferred to the Crown unless objections are raised.
Davy, who famously dated Prince Harry from 2004 to 2009, has since moved on, marrying hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott in 2022.
While she maintained an amicable relationship with the royal family, attending both Prince William and Prince Harry’s weddings, her entrepreneurial ambitions have now taken a significant hit.
Madonna is taking a trip down memory lane, particularly her albums ‘Bedtime Stories’ and ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’
The Queen of Pop is ‘putting her heart and soul’ into her new album
Madonna is taking fans on a trip down memory lane.
On February 7, the Queen of Pop, 66, revealed on Instagram that she’s gearing up to rerelease her 1994 album Bedtime Stories, following last week’s announcement of a Confessions on a Dance Floor sequel.
“Bedtime Stories Re-release and Vinyl coming soon,” Madonna wrote alongside a sultry video of herself posing in a pink slip dress, soundtracked by the album’s dreamy track, Bedtime Story.
Originally released in October 1994, Bedtime Stories marked a shift toward R&B and smooth, mid-tempo grooves, spawning hits like Secret and Take a Bow — the latter spending seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The album also featured Human Nature, a bold clapback to critics, and Bedtime Story, co-written by Björk. It peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified triple platinum.
The re-release comes as Madonna is also in the studio with longtime collaborator Stuart Price, crafting a follow-up to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor.
“My Valentine’s Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I’m putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can’t wait to share it with you,” she wrote, adding, “Confessions Part 2.”
Future King William, Queen Kate Middleton embark on new journey
Prince William, Kate Middleton set new rules ahead of destined roles
Prince William and Kate Middleton, who are currently being prepared for their destined roles in the royal family, took a major decision about how they plan on managing things together.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who are currently enjoying their half-term holidays with their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, are making new rules before they become King and Queen.
The royal couple, who have always prioritised their family first, have made a promise to ensure spending quality time despite their responsibilities in the royal family.
“It was so rejuvenating that William and Kate have vowed to do a getaway every month this year,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Some trips will be for a few days or a couple of weeks and other times probably a night or two will be all they can manage but the important thing is that they carve out time.”
The report comes after the William, who is the President of British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), skipped this year’s star-studded ceremony and traded it for a getaway with his wife and children.
“Kate and William were able to take a lovely family vacation with total peace and privacy. She got back on skis and appreciated it with a whole new sense of wonder.”
The decision also comes after Kate underwent a nine-month cancer battle last year and has a new perspective on life. The princess is eager to cherish live a little more and wants “more trips with her extended family” after navigating a tough year.
The insider added that Kate is “fully aware that they will have a ton on their plates with work” and she is “100 percent ready to roll up her sleeves and handle what needs to be done”.
However, Kate also believes that “life is too precious not to enjoy it as well”.

Queen Camilla sends message to Prince Harry from Buckingham Palace party
Queen Camilla lit up Buckingham Palace by hosting a star-studded gathering, leaving the royal fans delighted.
The Queen celebrated people from the entertainment industry who are working wholeheartedly to flourish the National Theatre.
The event was attended by Hollywood A-listers including Kate Cate Blanchett, Andrew Garfield and renowned comedian James Corden, who is a close pal of Prince Harry.
In the shared video on the royal family’s official Instagram page, Camilla was seen sharing a light-hearted moment with the Duke of Sussex’s pal, which is interpreted as a pleasant message for Harry from King Charles’ wife.
The message alongside the video reads, “Shining a spotlight on the wonderful work of @nationaltheatre – on stage, on screen, and in schools!”
“The Queen hosted a reception, with some very special performances, to celebrate the talented actors, staff, and supporters behind the National Theatre, of which Her Majesty has been Patron since 2022.”

President to address Florida gathering of investors and tech moguls after he and billionaire ally Elon Musk took part in Fox News sitdown with Sean Hannity to defend DOGE cost-cutting actions and firings
Donald Trump will attend a conference hosted by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund in Miami on Wednesday, mingling with global financiers and tech executives in the hope of securing further U.S. investment.
The president and “first buddy” Elon Musk took part in a primetime sitdown with Fox News on Tuesday in which host Sean Hannity mused it was like “interviewing two brothers”.
The duo insisted the media was “trying to drive us apart” and offered a show of unity as they defended the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s cost-cutting actions and mass firings.
Earlier, Trump had sparked fresh concern over the Ukraine war during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago by declaring the country “should never have started” the conflict, even though its territory was invaded by Russian troops acting on Vladimir Putin’s orders, not vice versa.
The president further dismissed Ukrainian anger over being denied a place at talks between U.S. and Russian negotiators in Riyadh.
“I hear they’re upset about not having a seat. Well, they’ve had a seat for three years,” Trump said, also deriding his counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky’s poll ratings and suggesting he “may” meet Putin before the end of February.
Meghan Markle unveils new brand ‘As Ever’ with symbolic logo
Meghan Markle’s new brand has sparked controversy over its design
Meghan Markle has launched a new lifestyle brand, As Ever, replacing her previous venture, American Riviera Orchard.
The sudden rebranding has drawn attention, not only for its unexpected shift but also for the symbolism embedded in its logo.
The emblem, featuring a palm tree flanked by two hummingbirds, is believed to carry deep personal significance. According to reports, the hummingbirds were included as a nod to Prince Harry, who has long been fascinated by the species.
In his memoir Spare, Harry shared a moment when a hummingbird entered their home shortly after they returned from the UK following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II—an event he saw as meaningful.
However, Meghan’s new brand has also sparked controversy. Officials in Majorca, Spain, have pointed out a striking resemblance between her logo and the town’s historic coat of arms, raising concerns over originality.
Following the official announcement of As Ever, Meghan quickly ramped up its promotion, renaming her previous Instagram account and sharing a new post.
With As Ever, Meghan appears to be crafting a brand that merges personal storytelling with luxury branding, but the controversy surrounding its design may bring unexpected challenges.
Lady Gaga just shattered a record previously held by Ariana Grande, and before her, Taylor Swift
Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated seventh album, ‘Mayhem,’ drops March 7
Lady Gaga is already making history as she steps into her Mayhem era.
The pop icon, 38, just shattered the all-time Spotify record for the most monthly listeners by a female artist, surpassing Ariana Grande who had previously surpassed Taylor Swift.
As of Tuesday (February 18), Gaga boasts a staggering 123.7 million listeners on the platform, trailing only Bruno Mars and The Weeknd overall.
This milestone comes amid the massive success of Gaga’s latest hits.
Her collaboration with Mars, Die With a Smile, has dominated the charts for weeks, holding the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks before slipping to No. 4. Meanwhile, Abracadabra debuted at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart and landed at No. 29 on the Hot 100.
Both singles are part of Mayhem, Gaga’s highly anticipated seventh album dropping March 7.
The Joker: Folie a Deux star also revealed the project’s full tracklist this week, teasing a new collaboration with French producer Gesaffelstein on Killah.
Elon Musk’s father isn’t holding back on criticism of the billionaire’s parenting skills.
Errol Musk appeared on the “Wide Awake” podcast Wednesday, two days before author Ashley St. Clair claimed she had given birth to Elon’s 13th child last year.
“He hasn’t been a good dad,” Errol, 79, told listeners in a clip shared via TikTok. “The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny.”
Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, criticized the billionaire’s parenting skills on a podcast.
The 78-year-old told “Wide Awake” listeners his son isn’t “a good dad.”
He claimed Elon’s late son, Nevada, “died in the care of a nanny.”
Elon and his ex-wife Justine Wilson’s firstborn son, Nevada, died in 2002 at 10 weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Errol admitted, “Elon’s gonna shoot me for saying this, but that’s what I think. That’s no good. They were too rich, too many nannies.”
He claimed Elon and Wilson’s children — twins Griffin and Vivian, 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, 19 — each had their own nanny.
Errol claimed Elon and ex-wife Justine Wilson’s five living children each grew up with two nannies post-divorce.
“It was a weird situation,” he said.
“When they got divorced [in 2008], the nannies were six on this side and six on that side,” Errol continued. “It was a really weird situation.”
When host Joshua Rubin asked whether Elon, 53, “didn’t spend enough time with” his little ones, Errol claimed that was indeed the case.
Elon has confirmed that he is the father of 12 children.
He shares three with ex-girlfriend Grimes.
Multiple TikTok users highlighted the “disturbing … hypocrisy” in Errol’s statements, with many pointing out that he shares a child with his former stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout.
One wrote, “Bad dads can notice bad dads.”
In addition to his and Wilson’s brood, Elon has welcomed three children — son X AE A-XII, 4, daughter Exa, 3, and son Techno, 2 — with his ex Grimes, as well as three more kids — twins Strider and Azure, 2, and a 1-year-old — with his Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Ashley St. Clair claimed Friday that she gave birth to Elon’s 13th child five months ago.
The Tesla CEO has not publicly commented on St. Clair’s since-deleted claim via X that they share a 5-month-old whom he has yet to “publicly acknowledge.”
He did, however, reply to a post alleging that the “Elephants Are Not Birds” author had “plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare” him.
Vivian poked fun at the situation via TikTok on Saturday.
She asked Elon to “publicly acknowledge” the little one.
He has yet to do so.
“Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels … which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right?” she asked her followers.
Vivian, who legally changed her name and gender in 2022, is estranged from Elon, with the SpaceX founder previously telling the Financial Times that he “can’t win them all.”
Elon remains vocally critical of Vivian’s transition, which he claimed stemmed from a “woke-mind virus,” and she has repeatedly clapped back on social media — with Grimes also coming to her defense.
Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff were spotted dining at Ralph Lauren’s starry Polo Bar on Saturday night in a room that also included Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Hamm and Peyton Manning.
Spies said the former presidential candidate was surrounded by six Secret Service guards at dinner, and that she gamely took photos with diners, including original “Queer Eye” star Carson Kressley, who we hear popped by the pol’s table.
Also at the eatery, we hear that Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica Seinfeld, were with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and his wife, producer Nicole Avant.
“Seinfeld” co-creator David was at a corner table dining with “Mad Men” star Hamm, who has been a guest star as himself on David’s HBO hit, “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
“Seinfeld” creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld were at Polo Bar, with Netflix boss Ted Sarandos.
Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff dined at Polo Bar in NYC.
There was also buzz in the room that President Trump’s polarizing Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was showing up for dinner — but the Kennedy scion didn’t materialize.
Call it the “Saturday Night Live” effect: NYC was overrun with stars and Hollywood types over Presidents’ Day weekend for the 50th anniversary of Lorne Michaels’ NBC comedy show that had a blockbuster Radio City Music Hall concert, and a three-hour special on Sunday.
Also spotted at the power dining spot on Saturday was Tina Fey’s agent and WME co-chairman Richard Weitz, as well as the agency’s Andrew Dunlap and Doug Lucterhand, and “Ted Lasso” co-creator Bill Lawrence, plus his singer-songwriter daughter, Charlotte Lawrence, and music producer Andrew Watt.
Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bar is still a celebrity hotspot after 10 years.
Jon Hamm has been in NYC for the “SNL” 50th anniversary.
Harris and Emhoff have plans to spend more time in NYC, we’ve reported.
Hamm, Seinfeld, Manning and more were at Radio City for “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” on Friday, and Hamm and Manning also attended a private after-party following the show at the yet-to-officially-open San Vicente West Village, we exclusively reported.
Spies told Page Six that Harris and Emhoff are not slated to attend the Sunday “SNL” special — though Harris has made a surprise appearance on the show leading up to the election.
We also reported last month that Emhoff was looking at a $20,000-a-month three-bedroom luxury condo on the Upper West Side, and that he and Harris are planning to spend more time in NYC.
