Transcript

00:00:00.000 This January on Paramount Plus, it began on the shores of New Jersey.
00:00:04.900 Now, a new pack emerges in the great white north.
00:00:09.240 Canada Shore, new original series, now streaming on Paramount Plus.
00:00:15.100 And when Blake walked in, she seemed nervous and whispered to me,
00:00:19.300 is she even human?
00:00:21.660 Yeah, we've lost some talk.
00:00:26.100 Hi and welcome to Florez & Talk.
00:00:27.680 I'm Serge de Flore, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:30.620 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:34.400 So someone just sent me a Reddit post from 2023,
00:00:38.480 from an insider who was actually present at the set of It Ends With Us.
00:00:44.780 This is really interesting. I'd never seen this before.
00:00:48.580 Also, Hasan Minhaj has a new podcast out.
00:00:52.060 I forgot completely that he was actually in It Ends With Us.
00:00:55.760 He even made a statement about what it was like on set.
00:00:59.980 Now, in this new interview with Prince Harry,
00:01:03.720 he is dragging Taylor Swift into everything.
00:01:07.820 Is there a reason for that?
00:01:10.000 Also, Sydney Sweeney was out on about yesterday in a dress that was completely see-through.
00:01:16.900 I just spoke about how she wants women to show off their absets,
00:01:21.580 and she definitely did.
00:01:23.880 And I was really pleasantly surprised to see that Paris Hilton
00:01:26.940 came out and supported Britney publicly.
00:01:31.240 Anyways, let's get into it.
00:01:33.000 This Reddit post really blew my mind.
00:01:35.600 So this was posted in 2023, as I said,
00:01:39.620 long before It Ends With Us came out.
00:01:41.780 And this is from a person that was actually on set.
00:01:45.060 And in this post, she's reacting to a Do More podcast.
00:01:50.280 Do More is big on Instagram.
00:01:52.860 And they posted a lot from this drama.
00:01:56.660 And they've been accused of many times of being pro-Blake Lively.
00:02:00.960 And as this post confirms, that might be true.
00:02:05.600 So this person is saying that,
00:02:07.620 pretty peeved at the Do More podcast,
00:02:10.100 talking about inside tips from the set of It Ends With Us.
00:02:13.800 I was there, and it's not true.
00:02:18.020 So this is a clip from what Do More talked about in that podcast.
00:02:22.800 This person wrote in to say,
00:02:25.040 Justin was a major d*** to everyone on set.
00:02:26.960 And to top it off,
00:02:28.000 didn't want any feedback from Blake when she had really great input.
00:02:32.240 It got so contentious that they had to rehearse scenes apart with stand-ins.
00:02:36.440 This person is claiming that the studio used Blake's edit.
00:02:40.220 Justin's did test better,
00:02:41.900 but he pissed off Colleen Hoover.
00:02:44.080 That was another thing that I heard,
00:02:45.600 is that Ryan and Blake had paid for their own editor
00:02:48.740 to cut a version of the movie.
00:02:52.440 She sort of strongly suggested that if they don't use her version,
00:02:56.640 this is the rumor,
00:02:57.560 that they wouldn't be able to use Taylor's song.
00:02:59.980 Somebody else says,
00:03:00.740 Anonymous, but Justin Baldoni is not the guy he portrays on his podcast.
00:03:04.080 He has a huge ego, and it's all about him.
00:03:06.080 Thinks he knows everything.
00:03:07.360 I have friends who have worked with him.
00:03:08.640 Nothing about any of this has surprised us.
00:03:11.920 So a lot of information there.
00:03:13.760 We know a lot of it is not true.
00:03:15.700 I don't even think I remember that I heard that Blake actually used Taylor
00:03:20.020 as leverage to get her will.
00:03:23.100 She said that she wouldn't put her song in the movie unless she got the final edit.
00:03:27.260 I don't remember reading that anywhere else.
00:03:29.780 Maybe I missed that, or maybe I forgot about it,
00:03:31.800 because there's so much going on here.
00:03:33.560 But anyways, this person continues to say,
00:03:35.680 For some context, I'm a working actor in the New York area,
00:03:41.300 and I had the pleasure of working on the movie.
00:03:44.440 In the scene she talked about on the podcast.
00:03:47.240 So there was a specific scene that this person was present.
00:03:50.180 She said,
00:03:50.640 Not only a huge fan of Colin Hoover, but the book itself.
00:03:54.200 I was hyper-villagent on the set because it was exciting.
00:03:58.640 I worked the party scene of Alicia's birthday.
00:04:01.320 That was a scene where Jenny Slate, she played Alicia, had a big birthday party,
00:04:05.840 and the entire cast was there.
00:04:08.660 And as spoiled by Dumont, Colin Hoover herself was there.
00:04:13.080 I was maybe the only one who particularly passed out when she came on set.
00:04:17.660 She was in the scene with the background doing her peekaboo for the movie.
00:04:23.280 And then she says,
00:04:24.020 Dumont goes on to say,
00:04:25.400 An insider said Justin was flirting with the model the entire day on sets.
00:04:32.280 This is false.
00:04:35.020 He had a flirt with her in the scene when Blake enters,
00:04:38.220 and she gets jealous and walks past them.
00:04:40.760 Justin was so nice and barely talking to her in between takes
00:04:43.880 because he was acting and directing a huge scene.
00:04:48.300 Secondly, states Justin sucks as a director,
00:04:51.740 and that's because he's an actor.
00:04:53.140 Whoever sent this tip is actually an ass.
00:04:56.720 He was phenomenal, kind, and very involved in every shot.
00:05:02.420 He was reviewing footage, and he was kind to the background actors.
00:05:06.780 He even said,
00:05:07.540 I started out as a background actor,
00:05:09.760 and I wanted to thank you for how important you are in this scene and this movie.
00:05:14.780 He also was always checking in with Colleen and the sweetest.
00:05:21.060 Takes photos with everyone and honestly seemed like a genuinely amazing human.
00:05:27.120 Lastly, which really threw me,
00:05:29.140 Dew reported Colleen was on the set,
00:05:31.980 bulking orders and changing things.
00:05:34.980 I actually screamed.
00:05:36.920 I was lucky enough to have talked to Colleen all evening.
00:05:40.020 She hugged me when my eyes bugged out of my head.
00:05:44.400 I looked distressed for a second, and she asked if I was okay.
00:05:47.640 And I was like,
00:05:48.340 I just love you, and I'm shocked right now.
00:05:51.560 She hugged me and went on to make small talk throughout the entire night.
00:05:57.140 We talked Vanderpump, and I saw how excited she was at the casting.
00:06:01.740 She said in regards to Jenny Slate,
00:06:04.220 how cute is she?
00:06:05.820 And when Blake walked in,
00:06:07.160 she seemed nervous and whispered to me,
00:06:10.040 is she even human?
00:06:12.900 At this point,
00:06:14.000 I thought that Colleen,
00:06:15.340 whoever really knew Blake,
00:06:16.600 but apparently it seemed like they weren't that close.
00:06:20.900 Anyways,
00:06:21.880 she turned down having a line because she was too nervous
00:06:25.000 and literally not once made a comment to change the scene
00:06:28.300 or put input in the scene.
00:06:29.880 She's talking about Colleen.
00:06:31.440 Then she took a few pictures with me at the end of the night,
00:06:34.480 which I will definitely post after the movie comes out,
00:06:37.620 or at least after it wraps.
00:06:40.040 Anyway,
00:06:40.620 I'm posting this because it was the first time listening to Dumont
00:06:43.780 that I was there and knew that everything she reported from the source
00:06:48.240 was a whole crock of it.
00:06:50.920 Also,
00:06:51.680 if any of you heard this and made you think less of Colleen,
00:06:55.860 Justin,
00:06:56.760 or the movie,
00:06:58.140 don't believe it.
00:07:00.040 Colleen really surprised me in how normal she is.
00:07:03.060 Like,
00:07:03.620 you've been friends with her forever,
00:07:05.380 and it just made me like her even more.
00:07:08.360 As for Blake,
00:07:10.240 Blake gonna be Blake.
00:07:12.040 This was from 2023.
00:07:13.720 This was before any of the drama actually hit the press,
00:07:17.620 or it maybe started because Dumont was reporting on it.
00:07:21.340 But this person here obviously got an impression of Blake
00:07:25.360 in a very short amount of time.
00:07:26.700 She's A-list energy all the way.
00:07:31.080 Last on set,
00:07:32.460 first off set.
00:07:34.300 Didn't acknowledge anyone around her.
00:07:37.080 Doesn't do photos.
00:07:38.700 I felt like if I stared too long,
00:07:41.280 I might turn into stone or get in trouble somehow.
00:07:45.440 But she truly is remarkable to watch do her thing.
00:07:49.680 Isn't this interesting?
00:07:51.040 This was posted in 2023.
00:07:54.480 So as I said,
00:07:55.300 long before,
00:07:56.680 like the mainstream media started picking up
00:07:59.240 and talking about this drama.
00:08:01.660 So thank you,
00:08:02.300 Anne,
00:08:02.500 so much for sending me this.
00:08:03.840 This was so interesting to see.
00:08:05.560 And it also shows that there's so much misinformation out there
00:08:08.340 coming from insiders.
00:08:10.340 I don't know who plans this insiders or sources
00:08:13.700 that are telling their side of the story
00:08:16.260 when they obviously,
00:08:17.320 a lot of the times is not true.
00:08:19.940 So again,
00:08:20.600 thank you so much for sending me this.
00:08:22.560 And that brings me to Hassan Minaj,
00:08:25.160 who's also in the movie.
00:08:26.760 I forgot about that.
00:08:28.080 He's,
00:08:28.460 I like him as a comedian.
00:08:29.660 I think he's quite funny.
00:08:31.100 And now he has a new podcast out
00:08:32.760 where he's interviewing Prince Harry.
00:08:35.140 And I'll get back to that in a second
00:08:36.840 because then I have to Google him,
00:08:38.660 his role in It Ends With Us.
00:08:40.360 And I found this comment that he made
00:08:42.480 in September of last year.
00:08:44.380 This was before Blake sued Justin and the Wayfair Party.
00:08:48.760 He told Esquire that,
00:08:51.260 I can't speak to other people's experience,
00:08:54.060 but everybody was very professional and cool to me.
00:08:58.220 It was lovely and everybody was lovely.
00:09:02.040 And it's just as disillusioning for me
00:09:05.240 because I'm like,
00:09:06.480 what happened?
00:09:07.380 Wait,
00:09:07.960 what's going on?
00:09:09.720 I mean,
00:09:10.000 he was there quite a lot
00:09:11.220 and he didn't notice that there was anything going on.
00:09:13.980 Yeah.
00:09:14.480 I wonder if they actually subpoenaed him.
00:09:16.660 And it's funny to me
00:09:17.560 that he didn't notice anything,
00:09:20.100 nothing at all,
00:09:21.380 that there were any awkwardness,
00:09:22.820 nothing.
00:09:23.420 He just said it was really a great set
00:09:25.600 and everyone was cool.
00:09:26.940 And what happened?
00:09:27.680 And they missed the whole thing.
00:09:29.620 Anyway,
00:09:30.060 so he's interviewing Prince Harry now.
00:09:33.940 Thank you,
00:09:34.640 Matteo,
00:09:35.000 for sending me this clip.
00:09:36.720 So Matteo sent me this,
00:09:38.120 asked me,
00:09:38.880 isn't it funny how Hassan is asking Prince Harry
00:09:42.000 about the Taylor Swift feud with Charlie XCX
00:09:45.580 when he was part of It Ends With Us?
00:09:48.360 Maybe it is.
00:09:49.600 I don't know.
00:09:50.600 I just found that clip so funny
00:09:52.540 so I had to show it to you.
00:09:54.500 So Prince Harry obviously don't know anything
00:09:56.900 about the feud between Taylor Swift and Charlie XCX,
00:10:02.500 which he shows very clearly in this clip.
00:10:05.300 What do you think of this Charlie XCX Taylor Swift beef?
00:10:10.340 The what?
00:10:11.440 Oh no.
00:10:12.120 No, this is serious
00:10:12.760 because was Charlie's diss track
00:10:14.380 even a diss track?
00:10:16.640 I mean, to me,
00:10:17.640 Sympathy is a Knife
00:10:18.500 was about something completely different.
00:10:21.260 But then Taylor comes back
00:10:22.980 and I think escalates it
00:10:25.420 with the actually romantic thing.
00:10:29.080 And I'm kind of thinking to myself,
00:10:31.840 is this fair?
00:10:32.960 Or did Charlie draw blood
00:10:36.080 and Taylor had to respond?
00:10:43.340 Sometimes I just think,
00:10:44.520 where do we go from here, you know?
00:10:47.780 Cool.
00:10:51.760 Yeah.
00:10:53.940 That was kind of cringe to watch
00:10:56.020 and really funny.
00:10:57.620 I love this reaction
00:10:58.800 that he's just like,
00:11:00.180 please someone help me here.
00:11:01.520 What's going on?
00:11:02.360 Who are these people?
00:11:03.560 I'm sure he knows who Taylor Swift is
00:11:05.000 and probably Charlie XCX as well.
00:11:06.840 But he obviously missed this entire drama
00:11:09.320 and Taylor's album
00:11:10.820 and all the Easter eggs.
00:11:12.580 I think he has enough
00:11:13.540 to deal with in his own life.
00:11:16.300 So there's another article here
00:11:17.680 on Rob Shooter
00:11:18.640 who was saying that
00:11:19.840 now Blake Lively is green with envy
00:11:22.820 as Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes
00:11:25.280 becomes NFL's new power BFFs.
00:11:28.900 So I don't know if I believe these stories,
00:11:33.180 but I just find them a little funny.
00:11:34.860 So that's why I'm reporting on it.
00:11:36.420 It says,
00:11:37.240 Blake is not loving the rise of Brittany Mahomes
00:11:40.380 as Taylor's high profile game day partner.
00:11:44.760 An insider said the actress feels like
00:11:46.600 she's been benched.
00:11:48.460 Blake used to be Taylor's go-to
00:11:50.060 for girls' night glamour and fun.
00:11:52.700 She was the closest confidant
00:11:54.720 at a source dishes.
00:11:58.040 Now Brittany is in all the photos,
00:12:00.460 all the private suites,
00:12:02.100 getting all the attention.
00:12:04.020 Blake is dot, dot, dot, adjusting.
00:12:07.940 While Blake adores Taylor's happiness
00:12:09.900 with fiance Travis Kelsey,
00:12:11.880 does she adore that?
00:12:13.000 I don't think she wants her to be happy.
00:12:14.540 She's not the kind of person
00:12:15.520 that wish happiness upon other people.
00:12:17.560 I just have a feeling about that.
00:12:19.360 But anyways, it says that
00:12:20.480 those close to the actresses
00:12:22.260 watching Brittany become
00:12:23.500 such a central part of Taylor's public world
00:12:25.660 has sparked a little competitive jealousy.
00:12:28.940 It's not toxic.
00:12:30.120 It's human.
00:12:31.180 A Hollywood insider explains.
00:12:33.680 Blake has always been the one
00:12:35.060 by Taylor's side at big events.
00:12:38.580 Suddenly someone else is sitting
00:12:39.900 in that literal and metaphorical seat
00:12:42.220 and Brittany isn't just a friend.
00:12:44.780 She's a power couple half.
00:12:46.900 Front and center every NFL week.
00:12:49.820 That's a spotlight
00:12:50.840 that even Blake can't compete with.
00:12:53.420 So true.
00:12:54.700 Anyways, enough of Blake for this episode now.
00:12:57.520 Let's get over to Sydney Sweeney.
00:13:00.440 As you know,
00:13:01.220 I did quote her the other day
00:13:02.720 when she said that
00:13:03.620 never be afraid
00:13:04.480 to kind of flaunt what you have,
00:13:06.620 flaunt your assets.
00:13:07.840 And that's exactly what she did yesterday.
00:13:10.400 And people are reacting to it
00:13:12.340 in many ways.
00:13:14.220 She showed up in this dress,
00:13:16.300 which is completely see-through.
00:13:17.940 So obviously you see everything going on
00:13:20.100 underneath that dress up here,
00:13:22.160 which is a lot.
00:13:23.520 And of course she is in the center
00:13:25.160 of this entire gala
00:13:27.340 that was organized by Variety.
00:13:31.140 It was an event for power of women,
00:13:35.160 meaning that it was an event
00:13:36.840 to empower women.
00:13:39.180 And some people were honored.
00:13:40.540 I think she was one of them
00:13:41.760 because she gave a speech as well.
00:13:43.200 But when I look at this dress,
00:13:45.320 I'm like,
00:13:45.880 what are you thinking?
00:13:47.800 I mean,
00:13:48.400 in every photo
00:13:49.480 when she's in the middle,
00:13:51.220 all you can see is that.
00:13:52.900 I feel when you dress like that,
00:13:54.600 you make other people
00:13:55.660 feel a little uncomfortable
00:13:56.960 because it's like,
00:13:58.440 where are you going to look?
00:14:00.180 It's just so much.
00:14:01.600 And I was laughing so hard
00:14:03.460 when I saw this Instagram guy.
00:14:05.320 I follow him.
00:14:05.960 I don't know how to say his name
00:14:07.120 if it's Blakely Thornton.
00:14:09.740 But he posted this on Instagram
00:14:12.780 where he says,
00:14:14.240 where did all that Bezos bra company money go?
00:14:17.680 So if you missed that,
00:14:19.120 apparently Jeff Bezos
00:14:21.080 is investing in Sydney Sweeney's lingerie,
00:14:25.660 a lingerie company.
00:14:27.500 That happened apparently
00:14:28.920 after she went to their wedding.
00:14:30.820 And now there are rumors out there
00:14:32.760 that even Bezos want her as a bond girl
00:14:36.040 because he bought,
00:14:37.540 or Amazon bought,
00:14:39.460 the rights to James Bond.
00:14:41.440 They paid 790 million pounds
00:14:46.540 for the rights to the Bond franchise.
00:14:50.680 So anyways,
00:14:51.320 there are reports now
00:14:52.620 that she is one of the favorites
00:14:54.640 runner-ups for this movie
00:14:58.600 and that Jeff Bezos invested
00:15:00.280 in her lingerie company
00:15:01.880 while she's obviously not wearing any.
00:15:04.560 So let me know what you think.
00:15:06.280 I was reading some of the comments
00:15:07.740 on this Daily Mail article
00:15:09.280 and people aren't really that impressed by it.
00:15:12.600 I think when you go to an event,
00:15:14.500 especially only to empower women,
00:15:17.360 I don't think that outfit really works.
00:15:19.840 I think it's stealing the attention
00:15:21.480 from everyone
00:15:22.320 and everything else going on there.
00:15:24.420 And if that's your goal,
00:15:26.200 then fine.
00:15:27.260 But I don't think
00:15:28.460 it's a very strategic way
00:15:30.800 to go around
00:15:31.600 and go about business in Hollywood.
00:15:33.420 But who knows?
00:15:35.480 Maybe it works for Sydney.
00:15:37.320 I might think
00:15:38.200 it is just a little bit too much.
00:15:40.380 Let me know what you think.
00:15:41.640 Also, I was so happy to see
00:15:43.100 that Paris Hilton
00:15:44.140 did post something
00:15:46.700 to support Britney.
00:15:48.640 She said this on X.
00:15:49.880 She posted a photo
00:15:50.780 of her dressed as Britney
00:15:52.920 with her son on her lap.
00:15:55.640 And she says,
00:15:56.580 Phoenix loves his auntie Britney.
00:15:58.800 I had so much fun
00:16:00.360 dressing up as you this year
00:16:01.780 at Britney Spears.
00:16:03.120 We love you.
00:16:04.240 Miss you.
00:16:05.520 And can't wait for you
00:16:06.560 to come over
00:16:07.220 and hang out with me
00:16:08.240 and the babies again soon.
00:16:10.380 That's sweet.
00:16:11.260 I think Britney
00:16:11.880 needs stuff like this now.
00:16:13.340 I was reporting on it yesterday
00:16:14.740 that her friends
00:16:15.740 have been so quiet and silent.
00:16:17.620 And as far as we know,
00:16:18.540 they haven't really contacted her
00:16:20.180 or supported her in public.
00:16:23.900 So this was really nice.
00:16:25.580 All right.
00:16:25.780 That's it for me today, you guys.
