Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Blake Lively has put a dollar figure on exactly what her battle with Justin Baldoni has cost her. And red, white and royal blue fans, I have some very exciting news. So let's spill some tea.
Chapter 2: What are the behind-the-scenes stories of The Devil Wears Prada 2?
First up, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has had its world premiere in New York and the behind the scenes stories are genuinely fascinating. First, we've got Anne Hathaway being a queen. While filming, she noticed the models in a runway scene were more traditionally model-sized and immediately went to the producers.
She said, The producers were apparently so sad that they hadn't thought about it and made the changes within an hour. Meryl Streep has called her a stand-up girl for it, which sounds like something out of the 1950s, but it's Meryl, so she's allowed.
Chapter 3: Why was Sydney Sweeney's cameo cut from The Devil Wears Prada 2?
We've also recently learned that Sydney Sweeney filmed a roughly three-minute cameo playing herself being dressed for an event by Emily Blunt's character early in the film. The scene has been cut as a creative decision as it didn't fit the structure of the opening.
For context, the film also has Lady Gaga, Donatella Versace and Naomi Campbell in it, so it's entirely possible that Sydney won't be missed. Next up, if the Nobu dinner wasn't enough of a hard launch, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have taken things to the next level, literally to the ocean. The pair were photographed making out while swimming in the Pacific Ocean in Malibu on Monday.
Chapter 4: What are the latest updates on Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's relationship?
Kim in a black bikini with a matching wetsuit, Lewis in a rash and swim trunks. Lewis gave Kim surfing lessons. Cute. They splashed around together and he kept his hand on the small of her back when they came back to the shore. Thoughts and prayers must go out to Ann Burnham, who will no doubt shed a tear or two over her husband.
Chapter 5: How much has Blake Lively claimed in damages against Justin Baldoni?
So blatantly making out with somebody else. How rude. Also, it's worth remembering that Kimmy K once sobbed on reality TV over losing a diamond earring in the ocean. She's clearly moved on to holding much more important things safe in water. I'm so jealous that I actually might die.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of Blake Lively's legal battle on her reputation?
Stick around. Blake Lively has put a dollar figure on her Baloney battle and the number will make your eyes water. And Red, White and Royal Blue is getting a new book. Stick around. It's Monday morning and your mind is already racing.

Welcome back to your morning tea. The Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni saga is ramping up ahead of the May 18 trial with Blake's legal team filing documents laying out exactly what this has allegedly cost her. Blake's expert calculated the alleged smear campaign against her, specifically the use of phrases like tone deaf, bully and mean girl, generated over 176 million impressions.
The estimated reputational damage? Between 36 and 40 million US dollars. Combined with lost career opportunities, her haircare brand and beverage company, total alleged losses come in to 64 million.
Baldoni's team fired back, arguing her reputation for being difficult preceded their legal battle entirely, which is pretty much like saying you sucked before the movie and everyone knew it, so it's not our fault. Four weeks after the trial, both sides are deeply dug in. May 18 cannot come fast enough, mainly because I'm ready for this to be over. And finally, this one is for the readers.
Author Casey McQuiston has confirmed they are working on a new project set in the Red, White and Royal Blue universe. At BookCon 2026, McQuiston confirmed they are hard at work on something set in that world, but wouldn't reveal whether it's a direct sequel. And in slightly devastating news, she also revealed they lost a notebook full of red, white and royal blue research on a flight.
The author said it was mostly research and a lot of outlines and notes and planning. Thankfully, I would rather lose that than the actual writing. I, for one, am desperate to know if some superfan is out there with a lost notebook under their pillow when they sleep at night or something. That's just what I'm imagining. And that, my darlings, is it for this morning's morning tea.
Thank you so much for spending a couple of minutes with me. I'm your host, Ash London. Executive producer is Nisha Iswaran. The girls, of course, will be back at 3 p.m. with your Spill Deep Dive. And in the meantime, if you need more Spill action, just follow us on all the socials. I'll be back on Monday. In the meantime, have a safe and wonderful weekend. And we'll chat then. Bye.
