The seemingly never-ending battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni dropped a treasure trove of texts from Taylor Swift today, which has naturally been dominating headlines. However, an interesting little item also found its way into the mix: Blake reportedly e-mailed Ben Affleck for help dealing with Baldoni. If you were old enough to be on the internet when The Town was filming, then an eyebrow probably shot straight up upon seeing this news. Let’s just say there was an infamous photo scandal involving Blake while she was briefly seeing Leonardo DiCaprio at the time, but there have always been whispers that the pics were meant for Affleck. Way to dredge up that ancient history. - (Us Weekly)

Lafocareta would like to hand Iman Hariri-Kia’s Female Fantasy out to everyone, especially people who look down on romantasy. “Everyone can read it, have whatever epiphanies they need to have, and nod in understanding. And then we’ll all live happily ever after and never argue about anything again.” Which book do you wish you could make everyone read? (Cannonball Read 18)
