The legal battle between Megan Pete, who goes by the name Megan Thee Stallion, and her record label company is seemingly not going to end anytime soon. According to the latest reports, Megan is escalating her legal war with 1501 Certified Entertainment and is demanding a hefty amount in damages.&nbsp;

According to the&nbsp;court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the Grammy Award winner's attorneys have requested $1 million in relief from the record label and have also claimed that her last two albums 'Something for Thee Hotties' and 'Traumazine' fulfill the requirements of her "unconscionable" contract.

"Over the past two years, Pete and 1501 shared a long and tortured history of disputes with each other concerning Pete's recording agreement, including the unconscionability of the agreement in its original form, as well as disputes concerning the release of Pete's music," the complaint read.&nbsp;

"The two have been able to resolve some of the disputes through the issuance of multiple temporary restraining orders against Defendants from this Court. But a new dispute has arisen requiring further assistance from the Court," the complaint continued.

"1501's new position, taken months after the album's release, is clearly a ruse in an effort to try to take further advantage of Pete, at great expense and in bad faith," the attorneys&nbsp;further stated in the complaint.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the record label's attorney Steven M. Zager recently told the publication that the rapper owes one more album to the label and 'Something for Thee Hotties' did not meet their criteria of an album, as it features&nbsp;archival material and spoken word.

"We're evaluating Traumazine," he told PEOPLE while adding,&nbsp;"But there's no way Something for Thee Hotties qualifies as an album as that term is defined under her recording commitment in her various contracts with 1501."

The Korean pop-culture fest KCON Los Angeles has wrapped up the in-person edition with a second multi-act concert that largely filled the city`s Crypto.com arena. 
 
The mania for Korean culture seemed to be untouched by the Covid-19 hiatus, during which time the genre`s digital natives gathered virtually and KCON morphed into KCON:TACT. 
 
The convention, held in person for the first time since 2019, was marked by the seamless flow between fandom`s online and offline iterations, reports `Variety`. 
 
The organisers on Monday confirmed that the three-day event at the Los Angeles Convention Centre attracted more than 90,000 real world visitors, plus a further 7.17 million worldwide via video streaming. 
 
"The Asian American community existed 12 years ago (when KCON started.) They were at home. Now they are everywhere. They didn`t have a community," said Kevin Woo, a San Francisco-native singer and actor who was trained and achieved success within the Korean talent system. He is next heading to Broadway with `K-Pop: The Musical` in mid-October. 
 
According to `Variety`, many convention floor attractions featured video technology that allowed fans to pose virtually with stars or to insert themselves into scenes from Korean TV dramas -- modern-day equivalents of the distorting mirrors and your face-goes-here cardboard cut-outs from fun fairs and circuses of old.

`Variety` further states that the college-age fans appeared to stretch across the US`s racial divides and to joyously embrace multiple aspects of South Korean soft power. These included booths operated by food and cosmetics companies. 
 
A two-day Marketing Summit also gave KCON Los Angeles a more high-minded academic and commercial angle. The sidebar included insightful presentations from US university professors and how-to lectures from platforms such as TikTok intended to help U.S. businesses harness the K-wave for themselves.

As part of his method acting, Andrew Garfield has gone through "trippy" experiences while giving up sex and starving himself. To prepare for his role as a 17th-century Jesuit priest in Martin Scorsese`s 2016 missionary film "Silence", which also featured Liam Neeson and Adam Driver, Garfield said he went celibate and without food, reports aceshowbiz.com. 
 
"I did a bunch of spiritual practices every day, I created new rituals, I was celibate for six months and I was fasting a lot," Garfield told Monday`s episode of the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast. 
 
"It was very cool, man. I had some pretty wild, trippy experiences from starving myself of sex and food at that time." 
 
Garfield also spent a year studying in preparation for the film under Jesuit writer Father James Martin, 61, who helped the actor research Catholicism. 
 
The actor added about the sacrifices, which led to a 2017 best actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Sebastiao Rodrigues in "Silence", "There have been a lot of misconceptions about what method acting is, I think."

"People are still acting in that way, and it`s not about being an a****** to everyone on set. It`s actually just about living truthfully under imagined circumstances and being really nice to the crew simultaneously and being a normal human being and being able to drop it when you need to and staying in it when you want to stay in it." 
 
Garfield recently hinted the technique may have taken its toll, saying he is taking a step back from Hollywood to be "ordinary for a while."

Singer Harry Styles recently defended himself after netizens accused him of queerbaiting in the past. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Harry spoke being accused of using his sense of fashion and support for the LGBTQ community as queerbaiting, Page Six reported.

Queerbaiting is defined as a marketing technique for fiction and entertainment in which creators hint at, but then do not actually commit and depict, same-sex romance or other LGBTQ+ representation.

"Sometimes people say, `You`ve only publicly been with women,` and I don`t think I`ve publicly been with anyone," the `Watermelon` hitmaker said. He added, "If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn`t mean you`re choosing to have a public relationship or something."

The former One Direction frontman, who has notoriously kept his love life private, previously acknowledged that it felt "outdated" for him to specify his sexuality.

"I`ve been really open with it with my friends, but that`s my personal experience; it`s mine," the "As It Was" singer told Better Homes and Gardens in April.

"The whole point of where we should be heading, which is toward accepting everybody and being more open, is that it doesn`t matter, and it`s about not having to label everything, not having to clarify what boxes you`re checking."

Harry has been publicly dating Olivia Wilde since January 2021 after meeting on the set of "Don`t Worry Darling" - which Wilde, 38, directed and Styles stars in.

Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" will start streaming on Netflix from December 23, the streamer has announced. Also written by Johnson, the upcoming film is a sequel to the 2019 movie "Knives Out".

The streaming platform on Monday night also released the first look of "Knives Out 2" in which Daniel Craig, who reprises the role of detective Benoit Blanc, attends a glamorous dinner party.

In the follow-up film, Blanc travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colourful suspects, played by Edward Norton, Janelle, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.

"When tech billionaire Miles Bron (Norton) invites some of his nearest and dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island, it soon becomes clear that all is not perfect in paradise. And when someone turns up dead, well, who better than Blanc to peel back the layers of intrigue?" Netflix said about the plotline in a press release.

Johnson, who has also produced the film with Ram Bergman, said the "Knives Out 2" title "Glass Onion" pays homage to the 1968 Beatles song of the same name.

"I'm always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death. This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that's clear. I'll be very honest.

"I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word 'glass'. There's got to be some good glass songs. I was like, 'Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle?

Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson & Dave Bautista star in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery—coming to select theaters on a date to be announced and globally on Netflix Dec. 23! 🔍🧅 pic.twitter.com/H1kh0T6pOL — Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) August 22, 2022 Johnson, who has also produced the film with Ram Bergman, said the "Knives Out 2" title "Glass Onion" pays homage to the 1968 Beatles song of the same name. "I'm always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death. This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that's clear. I'll be very honest.

There's got to be some good glass songs. I was like, 'Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?' The first thing that came up, because I'm a huge Beatles fan, is 'Glass Onion'," the director said in a statement. "Knives Out 2" will also receive its European premiere at the 66th edition of the BFI London Film Festival on October 16. The film will premiere in select theatres on a to-be-announced date.
