Ah, Hollywood drama sometimes it’s scripted, sometimes it’s very, very real. The latest headline-grabber? A legal standoff between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over the production of “It Ends With Us”. But instead of hashing things out over a neutral table, they’ve decided to take the long, exhausting, and very public route of a trial. No mediation. No compromises. Just pure, unfiltered legal warfare.   Look, I get it. Sometimes mediation feels like that awkward couples therapy session where neither party wants to admit they might be wrong. But avoiding mediation in this case? That’s like refusing to use Waze in Los...
