  • The Good, the Bad, and the Bacteria- Your Complete Guide to Gut Microbiome Health

    The Good, the Bad, and the Bacteria- Your Complete Guide to Gut Microbiome Health
    Feb 19 2025
    This juicy gossip column, written in the sassy voice of fictional gossip queen Vivian Steele, dishes on the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni legal drama surrounding "It Ends With Us." The article takes Baldoni's side, portraying Lively's 138-page amended lawsuit as desperate damage control with conveniently unnamed witnesses. It covers explosive new allegations about Baldoni's business partner making inappropriate war analogies, the couple's awkward SNL appearance where they were allegedly avoided by other celebrities, and Baldoni's legal team launching a website to document their case. Written with catty commentary and insider "sources," the piece presents Lively and Reynolds as calculating and disingenuous while portraying Baldoni as the unfairly targeted victim taking the high road.
