Dina's Dirt for January 17, 2025

Kenny Chesney tried to help Taylor Swift in the early days of her career, and he offered to have her join him on tour. The problem is, he had to pull back his offer after the beer company who was sponsoring the tour told him he couldn't have a minor join him on the tour. He did at the very least offer to let her keep the money he already gave her.

Justin Baldoni has filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, alleging defamation, civil extortion, and invasion of privacy tied to the film "It Ends With Us." The lawsuit claims Blake took over creative control, defamed Justin, and orchestrated a smear campaign against him when she didn't get her way. Blake's team calls the lawsuit part of an "abuser playbook," describing it as retaliation against a woman speaking up. The feud between the two allegedly began during the production of "It Ends With Us," which was released in August last year.

Brooke Shields has a new book out so she's making the talk show rounds. She opened up on the "Tonight Show" about the time she had a grand mal seizure at a restaurant on September 7, 2023 caused by over-hydration, which dropped her sodium levels too low. The restaurant originally tried to contact her husband, Chris Henchy, but they couldn't get a hold of him. Multiple assistants got involved, and they ended up getting in touch with Bradley Cooper, who happened to be close by. Brooke said she woke up in the ambulance to find Bradley holding her hand saying he was riding with her to the hospital. The moment was so surreal, she figured she hadn't survived it.

Darius Rucker and Woody Harrelson are close friends and recently hung out in Darius's hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. A Hootie & the Blowfish fan spotted them and asked someone to take a pic of them together. The person she asked was Woody Harrelson, not realizing who he was. Knowing she was probably caught up in the moment of meeting her idol, Woody took a selfie as well with her phone just for fun. The woman posted it on TikTok after reality kicked in.

Timothée Chalamet showed up to the London premiere of his Bob Dylan film, "A Complete Unknown" on an electric bike and ended up getting a $79.18 fine. It turns out he didn't park the bike properly, and that's what led to the fine. Still probably cost less than a London cab.
