BRAD PAISLEY REPLACES TAYLOR SWIFT ON FAMOUS NASHVILLE MURAL – (12/29/2020)

Brad Paisley has replaced Taylor Swift on a mural of country music legends in downtown Nashville. Taylor, who was formerly depicted sitting perched on a barstool between Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash has been painted over. Now, it’s Brad sitting on the same stool.

USA Today noted, the decision to replace her came about (at least in part) because of the disapproval of the country fans who hang out in downtown Nashville.

Tim Davis, the artist of the mural who painted it said, “I have heard many complaints here in Nashville about Taylor being on the wall with country legends since she is currently focused mainly on pop.” He went on to say, “By and large, the people of Nashville love her, as do I.”

Davis adds that it was the bar owner’s decision, not his. He is currently raising money via a Go Fund Me page to paint a mural dedicated exclusively to Taylor Swift.

Country music legends on the mural include Loretta Lynn, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, and several others.

The mural is located on the outside wall of a Nashville bar.

CARDI B SETTLES $30 MILLION LEGAL BATTLE WITH FORMER MANAGER – (12/29/2020)

Cardi B has finally put an end to a two-year, $30 million legal battle with her former manager Klenord ‘Shaft’ Raphael. It was dismissed with prejudice. Meaning that it cannot be brought back to court at any point in the future.

Shaft, who claimed he discovered her and secured her a spot on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop, filed a $10 million breach of contract lawsuit against her in April of 2018. Among other things, he claimed that she abandoned their agreement in order to sign with another management company.

According to her countersuit, Shaft ‘got a 20% commission,’ but tried to seek even more commission off of Cardi’s Sony Music publishing deal. Cardi says he demanded 50% of that deal. In addition, the suit states that he attempted to control aspects of her personal life, such as her romantic relationship with her current husband.

In the settlement, they both agreed to pay all of their own legal fees. When it was over, Cardi B posted on Twitter “Feels good to be free.”

Not cocktail sauce.  Sincerely, mother of a newborn w/no nanny.” She added to the tweet: “Also, Wendy’s: Please stop forgetting my ranch sauce with my chicken nuggets.”

Once her fans got involved, the posts started flying back and forth in her defense! Almost immediately, the company’s official social media account posted to her: “We have you covered! We have lots of awesome sauces — cocktail, tartar, remoulade, pina colada… just let us know next time 😃.”

Shia LaBeouf’s lawyer admits that the star “needs help” amid a career meltdown following a sexual misconduct suit filed by his ex FKA twigs. The 32-year-old musician accuses him, among other things, of sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress and knowingly giving her a sexually transmitted disease. In the suit, another ex, Karolyn Pho, accuses him of similar behavior.

“Shia needs help and he knows that,” LaBeouf’s celebrity attorney, Shawn Holley, who previously repped OJ Simpson, told E! News in a statement on Christmas Day. “We are actively seeking the kind of meaningful, intensive, long-term inpatient treatment that he desperately needs.”

Twigs’ lawyer Bryan Freedman told Variety that the suit was filed only because he was allegedly  “unwilling to agree to get appropriate help” when she tried to settle the matter privately. 

LaBeouf has a troubled history regarding problematic behavior; in 2014, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to six months of outpatient rehab. In 2017, he was arrested for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and was sentenced to probation and told to undergo therapy.
