Three years later, she’s been hit with a lawsuit for $150,000 according to paperwork filed on Tuesday, which claims that she violated federal law by posting the picture. The lawsuit also states that they attempted to contact Katy’s reps about the “infringement” multiple times from 2017 to the beginning of this month, and Katy’s camp did not pay for the licensing of the photo.

TAYLOR SWIFT CELEBRATES NATIONAL CAT DAY; ‘SHAKE IT OFF’ LAWSUIT REVIVED – (10/30/2019)

Tuesday was National Cat Day, and Taylor Swift commemorated the special moment with an Instagram post.

The black and white photo shows her from behind, holding one of her fur babies – either Meredith or Olivia – over her shoulder.

“Hug your cat today. Or don’t, if your cat hates hugs. But anyway. Happy #NationalCatDay from me, Olivia, Meredith, and Benjamin,” reads the caption.

Taylor acquired Benjamin this year, after he made his acting debut on the set of her video for “ME!” Olivia and Meredith also appeared in that video, but they’d previously made their big-screen debut in 2018, when they were pictured on a t-shirt worn by Ryan Reynolds in the movie Deadpool 2.

Later this year, Taylor will take her feline obsession to the next level by becoming a kitty in the movie musical Cats.

Meanwhile, Taylor’s “Shake It Off” song is headed back to court after being dismissed last year. The lawsuit was filed by songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler against Taylor and the song was revived by a three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and will be sent back to a U.S. District Court.

Hall and Butler claim that Taylor lifted lyrics from their song, “Playas Gon’ Play” for 3LW for her own song. The first case was dismissed in February 2018. Sean Hall shared in a statement about the revival, “We are happy the court unanimously sided with us…This case is giving voice to all of those creatives who can’t afford to stand up and protect their work in the face of well-financed Goliaths.”

A rep for Taylor responded, saying, “Mr. Hall is incorrect, the court did not unanimously side in their favor, the court sent the case back to the lower court for further determination. These men are not the originators, or creators, of the common phrases ‘Players’ or ‘Haters’ or combinations of them. They did not invent these common phrases nor are they the first to use them in a song. We are confident the true writers of ‘Shake It Off’ will prevail again. Their claim is not a crusade for all creatives, it is a crusade for Mr. Hall’s bank account.”

TWITTER FREAKS OUT AS ‘GOT’ PREQUEL CANCELED – (10/30/2019)

The Naomi Watts-led Game of Thrones prequel project set to land on HBO is not moving forward. Jane Goodman was directing the project, which shot a pilot over the summer. The story was set to follow the  “Age of Heroes” and the first ever battle between man and White Walker, thousands of years before the wars and dragons of Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington’s time.

Goldman reportedly emailed the cast to share the news. She and the GOT writer George R. R. Martin penned the project, which reportedly focused on issues of race, power and intrigue.

The project was among several GOT spinoff series greenlit by HBO. News recently broke that the network is nearing a deal to produce a second pilot based on GOT, from Martin and Ryan J. Condal. This one will reportedly focus on the reign of Targaryen kings shortly before the events of the blockbuster Emmy-winning series. 

Among the reactions on Twitter were:

“It’s time we all pitch in and give Naomi Watts three good projects in a row”

“Naomi Watts just like CANNOT pick the right project” 

“Naomi Watts is cursed”

Watts’ headlining and much-buzzed about project Gypsy was also famously canceled by Netflix in 2017.

JUSTIN BIEBER PROMISES NEW ALBUM IN EXCHANGE FOR LIKES: Justin Bieber is promising a new album… on one condition. The 25-year-old said in an Instagram post that he will release a new album before Christmas if his post about the album gets 20 million likes. Bieber said he is “almost done” with his new album but wants to see fan demand for his music. “Share it, like it, post in your story, I gotta see the demand 😉 love you guys pumped for it! I’m almost done but your support will make me move faster,” he wrote in the caption. Bieber’s post had over 6.3 million likes as of Monday morning. Friends and fellow celebrities Scooter Braun, Cruz Beckham, DJ Khalid and Logan Paul were among those to share the post online. Bieber released his fourth studio album, “Purpose,” in November 2015.

JOHN LEGEND, KELLY CLARKSON UPDATE LYRICS FOR ‘BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE’ – (10/29/2019)

John Legend is releasing a deluxe edition of his holiday album A Legendary Christmas and it will include a new version of the song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” with updated lyrics.

The 40-year-old singer is collaborating with fellow The Voice coach Kelly Clarkson for the new version of the song.

John and comedian Natasha Rothwell wrote new lyrics to give “Baby It’s Cold Outside” a modern and irreverent narrative. It has long been considered that the holiday tune is a sexist song that is seemingly about a date rape. The new lyrics have taken out the controversial sexist lines to be more appropriate for 2019:

 “I really can’t stay (Baby it’s cold outside)/ I’ve gotta go away (I can call you a ride)/ This evening has been (so glad that you dropped in)/ So very nice (time spent with you is paradise)/ My mother will start to worry (I’ll call a car and tell ‘em to hurry).”

Whereas once the lyrics went, “Say, what’s in this drink?” and featured a woman protesting “The answer is no” and her male partner continuing to try to wear her down, Legend has revised them.

“What will my friends think?” Clarkson now asks, before he responds, “I think they should rejoice.” Clarkson finishes her thought with “If I have one more drink?” before Legend replies, “It’s your body, and your choice.”

Other new tracks on the 18-track album will include “This Christmas,” “My Favorite Things,” and “Christmas in New Orleans.” The deluxe edition of the album will be released on November 8th.

“Baby It’s Cold Outside” was first penned by Frank Loesser (Guys and Dolls) in 1944 as a duet for him to sing with his wife at parties. It’s gone on to become an enduring holiday classic, sung by everyone from Dolly Parton and Rod Stewart to Michael Bublé and Idina Menzel to Chris Colfer and Darren Criss on an episode of Glee.

But in recent years the lyrics have raised eyebrows. Last year, the song was taken off of some radio playlists in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

Loesser’s daughter Susan told NBC News that “Bill Cosby ruined it for everybody,” referring to the comedian being accused by 60 women of drugging and assaulting them. “Way before #MeToo, I would hear from time to time people call it a date rape song. I would get annoyed because it’s a song my father wrote for him and my mother to sing at parties. But ever since Cosby was accused of drugging women, I hear the date rape thing all the time,” she said.

Charlie Puth had one of his dreams come true when he got to meet Jennifer Aniston for the first time.

Before performing his new single, “Mother,” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday, the 27-year-old singer admitted he was “shaking from excitement” simply from being on the same set as Jennifer, who also appeared on the talk show that same morning.

Of course, Ellen decided to bring Jennifer out to surprise Charlie, who greeted the actress with a giant hug. The Friends superfan could hardly keep his cool, saying, “I’m dying right now. Are you gonna stay? You can stay,” and later adding, “You smell so good.”

With Jen casually propped up on his chair, Charlie couldn’t resist asking her about the possibility of a Friends reboot, which elicited a coy response.

“We would love for there to be something, but we don’t know what that something is. We’re working on something,” Jennifer said.

Charlie volunteered to get involved and help out with making new music for a future reboot, after which he blurted out, “This is my new girlfriend,” referencing Jennifer.

LADY GAGA DECLARES SHE’LL BE ONSTAGE UNTIL SHE’S 92 – (10/28/2019)

Lady Gaga has once again assured fans that that a new album coming.

In a fan video captured during a performance of her Las Vegas residency show Enigma in Las Vegas Wednesday, Gaga says, “Don’t you worry. I’m not going nowhere. I’m making new music.”

As the crowd cheered, she continued. “I’ll be a whole new me, over and over. And I’ll be just like Tony Bennett, I’ll be onstage when I’m 92.”

Back in March, Gaga confirmed that she was working on her long-awaited sixth album. Last month, the head of the French division of her record label said it would arrive next year. When it does, it’ll be the follow-up to 2016’s Joanne.

Gaga is up for two American Music Awards: Favorite Soundtrack for A Star Is Born, and Collaboration of the Year for her Bradley Cooper duet “Shallow.”

Meanwhile, a Lady Gaga impersonator said she felt “like a deer in headlights” after the emcee at a charity event falsely introduced her a the real thing, forcing her to just go along with it as the crowd went wild and mobbed the stage.

Tierney Allen is a renowned Gaga impersonator, who performs in the Legends In Concert show at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, alongside Freddie Mercury, Pat Benatar and Elvis tribute acts, among others.

Allen recently played a Vegas charity event, where she took to the stage in Joanne-era getup and played “You And I” and “Million Reasons.” It was business as usual until the end of the event, when the emcee told the crowd that she was not an impersonator, but was the real thing.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Allen described the wild situation that ensued, saying: “What happened is I was booked to perform at a private event for Women of Global Change. We always tell the clients to make sure the guests know I’m not the real thing … I thought, ‘Oh, that’s not good. I immediately started sweating. I must have looked like a deer in the headlights.”

She stuck around to help out with a charity auction, assisting in the sale of a framed A Star Is Born poster, autographed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, which was eventually sold for $3,000. On leaving, she told event organizers “I really hope I don’t upset Gaga’s people.”

SELENA GOMEZ SAYS SHE’S LOOKING FOR LOVE AGAIN AFTER ‘TOXIC’ RELATIONSHIPS – (10/28/2019)

Selena Gomez has opened up about her love life and shared that first loves can be “a little toxic.”

On Friday, the 27-year-old appeared on the Zach Sang Show, where she revealed that she’s ready for a new romance after her headline-grabbing, years-spanning relationship with Justin Bieber.

“I’ve been super, super single for two years and I want to know what that love will look like next for me,” she admitted. “I want it to be real and I don’t want it to be codependent, or messy, or lack of communication. When you get older, you find people who are actually right for you, that are actually on the same wavelength.”

Gomez also touched upon the hard lessons she’s learned from relationships in the past, seemingly referencing her history with Bieber.

“You’re in a phase of life where you experience love for the first time and I think that can just be a little toxic,” she said. “When you’re young, you have this codependency that you think is love, and then you have this addiction to the passion and the frustration with each other and you think, ‘Oh that’s love.’ I believed that for a long time.”

Immediately after Gomez’s new song, “Love You to Love Me,” and its music video were released last week, fans began analyzing the lyrics, convinced that the song is a formal farewell to her relationship with Bieber.

During her chat, Gomez assured fans that although she misses being in love, she’s doing just fine as a single woman.

“I’m chillin right now, you guys,” she stated. “Honestly that [dating] is so stressful so I’ve been having way too much fun being on my own. It sucked for the first year, I was like, ‘I just wanna cuddle, I just wanna watch something and be adored.’ Now it feels good. Now it feels awesome.”

DEMI LOVATO CHANNELS MARIE ANTOINETTE, PENNYWISE FOR HALLOWEEN – (10/28/2019)

Demi Lovato is taking Halloween very seriously this year.

For a pre-Halloween event on Friday, Demi posed dressed as Marie Antoinette in a dark beige and pastel green corset mini dress – complete with layered ruffles and lace. The corset top was pulled together with a white broach and a pearl lining which she matched with a string pearl necklace. The star matched the dress with a pair of white fishnet stockings.

For footwear, Lovato wore a pair of white Victorian styled boots tied up with a pair of silk shoe laces. The 27-year-old completed her 18th Century get-up with a perfectly powdered face, red blush and a towering blonde wig.

Demi created the look with the help of celebrity makeup artist Etienne Ortega and celebrity hairstylist Paul Norton.

“Halloween round 1… I told y’all I don’t play on Halloween!! It’s my time to shine. glam team killed it,” she captioned her selfie featuring the costume.

The next day, Demi brought the scares to her star-studded Halloween party in Los Angeles by showing up as the infamous Pennywise character from It.

Demi gave the evil clown a feminine twist by wearing an elaborate ruffled dress to complement her sinister makeup, red wig and creepy contact lenses. Her costume was based on Bill Skarsgård’s character in the 2017 horror movie, based on the Stephen King novel of the same title.

Lovato’s mom dressed up as Georgie, a little boy wearing a yellow raincoat who falls victim to Pennywise early on in the film. “My mom is the best,” the singer captioned a photo of the two on her Instagram Story.

HARRY CONNICK JR. GETS STAR ON HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME – (10/25/2019)

A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled Thursday honoring Harry Connick Jr. for a career in which he has sold more than 30 million albums, had 13 No. 1 jazz albums, and won three Grammys and two Emmys.

His wife, model Jill Goodacre, and their three daughters, Georgia, Charlotte and Sarah, were on-hand for the presentation of the star, which is located near that of late songwriter Cole Porter, an idol of Connick’s.

Renee Zellweger, his co-star in the 2009 movie New in Town, spoke at the event. “Among the many folks who have gifted the world artistic treasure, some have been blessed with such degrees of genius and originality, it sets them apart. Not every generation is blessed with an original, but we are and since he is standing right here conveniently, let’s embarrass Harry with the evidence,” the Oscar-winner said, rattling off a list of his many accomplishments.

Connick Jr. is also known for his roles in the films Memphis Belle, Copycat, Independence Day, Hope Floats and The Iron Giant.

The ceremony comes one day before the release of his Connick’s album, True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter, what Connick describes as “the first time I’ve taken a deep dive into another artist’s repertoire.” Connick’s star is next to Porter’s. The placement was coincidental, said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

TAYLOR SWIFT SINGS NEW SONG ‘BEAUTIFUL GHOSTS’ FOR ‘CATS’ – (10/25/2019)

Taylor Swift collaborated with famed composer Andrew Lloyd Webber for “Beautiful Ghosts,” a new song for the upcoming Cats movie.

Universal Pictures dropped a featurette about the making of the song and it includes a clip of Taylor recording it in the studio.

“Beautiful Ghosts” will be performed by Francesca Hayward in the movie and Taylor has recorded her own version for the film’s end credits.

“When I first read the screenplay, the first thing I said was, ‘We have to have a song for Victoria,’” composer Andrew Lloyd Webber said. “Beautiful Ghosts [is now] an incredibly important and central part of the whole film.”

“What I couldn’t believe was the extraordinary beauty of these lyrics that Taylor had written,” director Tom Hooper said. “It was as if someone had come into the film I was in the middle of making and … had reflected back to me a profound understanding of what we are trying to do with the movie. It was utterly thrilling.”

Taylor added, “You can’t write a modern lyric for Cats. So if you can’t get T.S. Eliot, get T.S… I’m here for you.”

Meanwhile, Taylor is celebrating her 13th music anniversary in the best way.

Taking to Instagram yesterday, the 29-year-old shared a throwback pic from one of her first ever concerts, and paired it with a massive thank you to her fans.

“I said in an interview 13 years ago ‘I’m just hoping that I have a second album that does as well as the first and someday get to be a headliner, and always be the same person that I started out as,’” Taylor recalled with the Instagram post. “Scrolling through your posts today has me feeling all the feelings & I want to thank you.”

She adds, “Because of you, there was a 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th and 7th album. You guys made me into a headliner because you wanted to see me play. And your support all these years is what’s helped me stay true to that kid I was when I started out. #13yearsoftaylorswift.”

Billie Eilish has made the top 10 on a list compiled by cyber-security firm McAfee of which celebrities are among the most dangerous to search for online. In its latest annual poll, McAfee shares what names are most likely to link you to malicious websites and viruses.

Last year Kim Kardashian topped the list but she’s now all the way down at Number 26, with the U.K.’s Love Island host Caroline Flack taking the dangerous top spot.

The rest of the top 10 includes actors Josh Gad and Mischa Barton, singer Sam Smith, Dua Lipa and Liam Hemsworth respectively.

McAfee’s Raj Samani stated, “Often consumers put . . . speed and convenience over security by clicking on suspicious links that promise content featuring our favorite celebrities. Consumers need to think before they click to be sure that they are surfing to safe digital content and protecting themselves from cyber-security threats that may be used to infect their devices or steal their identity.”

LIZZO ADDRESSES ‘TRUTH HURTS’ PLAGIARISM CLAIMS – (10/24/2019)

Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive.

Lizzo has addressed plagiarism claims surrounding her record, “Truth Hurts.” According to Rap-Up, Lizzo has denied claims that she stole the “100% that b*tch” verse and has given songwriting credit to Mina Lioness, whose 2017 tweet inspired the line and became a popular meme.

Songwriter and producer brothers Justin and Jeremiah Raisen claimed that Lizzo was present for a writing session when they wrote a record called “Healthy” in 2017. The line from the song goes, “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% that b*tch.” Justin said, “We’ve tried to sort this out quietly for the last two years, only asking for 5% each but were shutdown every time.” 

Lizzo has since responded to the claims, writing on social media that the brothers had nothing to do with “Truth Hurts.” She said, “The men who now claim a piece of Truth Hurts did not help me write any part of the song. They had nothing to do with the line or how I chose to sing it. There was no one in the room when I wrote Truth Hurts, except me, Ricky Reed, and my tears. That song is my life, and its words are my truth.” 

She added, “The creator of the tweet is the person I am sharing my success with…not these men. Period.”

Many took this to be a diss of Cody’s new relationship with Miley. Lindsay was a judge on The Masked Singer in Australia this season, and Cody competed and won the show.

After deleting her initial post, Lohan shared a shot congratulating Simpson on his win, writing, “woohoo!!! I was right!! 😯 yay🤣💕 @codysimpson good job!! 🤖 what a great time! What a great time and wonderful moments we have all had on this show! Congratulations to everyone!” She ended her follow-up post by tagging her sister and directing her to, “leave the riffraff behind sista!!!”

Lindsay guessed that it was Cody behind the mask during one noteworthy episode, where she said, “If it is you [Cody], we have a lot to talk about, and this is not the arena for it. I want my furniture back! Because I bought your furniture for your house in Venice!”
