Reese soon to launch 'Big Little Lies' season 3

The 48-year-old actress-turned-producer is about to launch the third season of the hit show ‘Big Little Lies,’ based on Australian author Liane Moriarty.

As per the reports, Lively is seeking to get rights to Liane's other novel ‘The Husband’s Secret'.

"Reese doesn't appreciate copycats — especially when she deserves credit for exposing American TV viewers to Laine's stories in the first place, a source told National Enquirer.



 

“They're just way past the point of letting bygones be bygones and ever becoming friends."

It is also being reported that both Lively and Witherspoon are fighting over being the Hollywood ambassador for pop diva Taylor Swift's anticipated move into filmmaking.

The insider suggested that Lively will push ahead of the ‘Wild’ actress, "She's one of Taylor's closest friends. It's hard to imagine it going any other way.”

Witherspoon sold her 'Hello Sunshine' production for $900M

Though Witherspoon sold out her production ‘Hello Sunshine’ back in 2021 for a whopping $900 million, she continues to love production.

Witherspoon sold her production company Hello Sunshine in 2021 for $900 million — but sources dished that hasn't put a dent in her drive.

"She's still out there every day in the trenches — pitching and selling shows and films in an incredibly competitive market," the source told the outlet.

"She's talking to the same buyers Blake is — all the time."

The tipster added, "Unlike Blake — who has her business and marketing genius husband Ryan Reynolds advising her – Reese is kind of doing it alone and is still very intent on topping her own biggest successes."

Lively was recently in news after she posted of her dressed as a bride went viral online.

Lively's wedding attire was nothing short of spectacular, featuring a daring neckline, intricate floral details, and a flowing skirt. Her hair was elegantly dressed with white flowers, as highlighted by the Daily Mail.
