Taylor Alert – Ryan Reynolds hosts bizarre Beverly Hills, 90210 reunion after he and Blake Lively score legal victory

Ryan Reynolds’ career took an odd turn this week when he eschewed his usual A-list pals in favor of putting on a reunion for two Beverly Hills, 90210 stars.

The 48-year-old Deadpool & Wolverine star hosted the show’s former stars Tori Spelling, 52, and Brian Austin Green, 51, in an comic ad for his Aviation Gin that was timed for Father’s Day, which falls on Sunday, June 15.

The head-scratching clip comes after Ryan and his wife Blake Lively scored a major court victory when Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against them was thrown out by a judge, even as the Hollywood couple have been abandoned by Blake’s former friend Taylor Swift.

Ryan’s new video took a particularly strange turn when Brian revealed the name of the cocktail he would be making.

‘It’s Father’s Day, and since my fiancée [Sharna Burgess] recently and very publicly said that she wants me to father a sixth child, I’m going to celebrate… with a Reverse Vasectomy,’ he revealed, followed by cringey sound effects including what sounded like the slash of a knife and a man wincing.

‘I have no idea how to make one, but I’m sure I can figure it out,’ he continued, as Tori stepped on stage behind the bar.

Brian and Tori were making a Father’s Day–themed cocktail with a cringey name: the Reverse Vasectomy

‘God, you can’t do anything without me,’ she said over canned laughter.

‘I don’t remember our show having a laugh track,’ Brian muttered as he looked up quizzically.

Then Ryan could be heard off stage in a shouted whisper: ‘Just read the lines, it’s working!’ 

Tori ran through the recipe, which required a highball glass with a orange twist garnish three ounces of tonic water were poured over. 

She added a squeeze of lemon, one ounce of cranberry juice and 1.5 ounces of gin, followed by ice to top it off.

‘And that’s a Reverse Vasectomy,’ she said proudly to the camera.

From off camera, Ryan shouted, ‘Now kiss!’

The Green Lantern star then stepped on stage with the former TV stars as Brian bashfully corrected him: ‘We’re not a couple.’

‘It’s Father’s Day, and since my fiancée [Sharna Burgess] recently and very publicly said that she wants me to father a sixth child, I’m going to celebrate… with a Reverse Vasectomy,’ Brian said

‘I have no idea how to make one, but I’m sure I can figure it out,’ he said, as Tori stepped on stage behind the bar. ‘God, you can’t do anything without me,’ she joked over canned laughter

After she shared the recipe, Ryan shouted, ‘Now kiss!’ The Green Lantern star joined the former TV stars as Brian bashfully corrected him: ‘We’re not a couple’

‘What do you mean you’re not a couple?’ Ryan said. ‘I saw you get married on TV. May 17th, 2000,’ he added, referencing the 90210 series finale

‘What do you mean you’re not a couple?’ Ryan continued in a comic twist. 

‘I saw you get married on TV. May 17th, 2000,’ he said, referencing when her character Donna Martin tied the know with his character David Silver in the series finale.

Ryan leaned into the joke and took it in a creepy new direction as he added, ‘I recreated your entire bedroom in my own home.’

Brian and Tori both looked horrified, and they scurried off stage while Ryan kept listing details about the obsessive bedroom to himself.

Ryan was likely breathing a sigh of relief just days after Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation suit against him, his wife Blake Lively, her publicist and the New York Times was thrown out by a judge.

Baldoni’s attorney has since warned that Blake is on a ‘false victory tour’ as she celebrates the win.

The judge’s decision still gives the Jane The Virgin star’s legal team the option to refile four of its seven claims by June 23, so Lively and Reynolds aren’t completely out of the woods yet.

However, Baldoni’s defamation and extortion claims were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled.

But Swifties familiar with her lore disappointed Baldoni obsessives when they pointed out that Taylor wiped her social media presence in 2017 to promote her album Reputation, which included all the posts that she was alleged to have recently deleted

Blake recently found herself in the center of another controversy involving her former friend Taylor Swift.

Justin Baldoni defenders gloatingly noted that the pop star had deleted multiple Instagram posts from her account that featured photos with Blake or referencing her in the wake of their reported falling out.

But the real reason those posts are no longer on Taylor’s Instagram is more complicated. As fans familiar with the singer–songwriter’s complicated history have pointed out online, the post’s absence doesn’t have anything to do with Taylor and Blake’s fractured relationship.

In August of 2017, the singer–songwriter shocked her followers by deleting her social media headers on multiple platforms and wiping her posts, including on Instagram. 

The move was a promotional stunt to prepare for the release of her sixth studio album Reputation, which was released in November of that year.

Among the posts that Baldoni’s most parasocial defenders cited as evidence that Swift allegedly wiped Lively from her feed was a photo of Swift holding an adorable koala while Lively petted its face and neck and stared into its eyes.

But it and several other posts featuring Blake had been wiped clean from Taylor’s account for years and had nothing to do with her falling out.

In fact, she still has some posts featuring photos with Blake on her page.
