Good morning. It's been a week where everyone had something to say and some people really should have said less, and one where we lost a genuine icon. Bonnie Tyler died at 75 in Portugal after weeks in hospital, a huge loss for anyone who ever belted "Total Eclipse of the Heart" at the top of their lungs. Elsewhere, Justin Baldoni finally broke his silence with his wife doing the heavy lifting beside him, Prince Harry's UK trip somehow got worse by the day, and Charles Barkley turned down the wedding of the decade without blinking. Meanwhile Simone Biles shut down a nosy fan in nine words flat, which might be the most efficient thing anyone did all week. Grab your coffee, there's a lot to get through.

Justin Baldoni Finally Speaks, With His Wife Doing the Sharpest Talking

Two years after Blake Lively's sexual harassment allegations first became public, Justin Baldoni broke his silence in a nearly five-minute Instagram video, sitting beside wife Emily. "We have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years," Justin said, "and it's not because we haven't had anything to say, because Lord knows we have." Emily did some of the sharpest talking herself, saying "gratitude has saved us" but adding pointedly that it "doesn't negate the pain and injustice" they'd endured, and wondering aloud "how could something like this even happen, let alone disguised as a fight for women." The couple said they'd "experienced trauma as a family" throughout the ordeal, and Justin described himself as more steadfast in his faith than he's ever been. The pair confirmed there's more to say, just not yet, "we are going to focus on continuing the healing and hanging out with our kiddos and enjoying life."
