<p>Popstar Taylor Swift has filed a declaration in court&nbsp;in response to the allegations made by two songwriters that claimed that her 2014 hit track was copied from&nbsp;a single from 3LW that peaked at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001.</p>

<p>According to the paperwork filed by the singer in the court, Swift stated that she has never heard the song she is being accused of copying. And, she also reiterated that she herself wrote the lyrics of the song in question.</p>

<p>"The lyrics to ‘Shake It Off’ were written entirely by me,"&nbsp;Swift claimed in her declaration. "Until learning of plaintiff’s claim in 2017, I had never heard of the song ‘Play’s Gon’ Play’ and had never heard of that song or group 3LW."</p>

<p>According to a report by Billboard, Swift and her attorney also made the case that the similar phrasing in the two songs is a result of the terminology being a part of everyday language. And, they also stated that the phrases were a part of popular vernacular before Sean Hall and Nathan Butler wrote 'Playas Gon’ Play'.</p>

<p>"I recall hearing phrases about players play and haters hate stated together by other children while attending school in Wyomissing Hills, and in high school in Hendersonville," Taylor wrote.</p>

<p>"These phrases were akin to other commonly used sayings like ‘don’t hate the playa, hate the game,’ ‘take a chill pill,’ and ‘say it, don’t spray it.’ … I was struck by messages that people prone to doing something will do it, and the best way to overcome it is to shrug it off and keep living," she added.</p>

<p>This plagiarism lawsuit has been making its way through the courts, again and again, for the last five years. It was first set aside by a judge in 2018. The following year, the suit was reinstated by an appeals court.</p>

<p>It`s been five weeks since `Thor: Love and Thunder` hit the cinemas in India and the makers of the movie are quite happy with the movie`s performance in the country. The film closed its fifth weekend recently and has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark!</p>

<p>`Thor` is the second Hollywood film to ever cross the magical figure of Rs 100 crores this year. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh took to his social media handles to share the news. According to him, the film earned Rs 79.07 cr in week 1, Rs 14.46 cr in week 2, Rs 4.34 cr in week 3, Rs 1.69 cr in week 4, and Rs 46 lacs in week 5.</p>

<p>The movie hit the theatres on July 7. The movie stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in lead roles. Recently, Chris Hemsworth revealed that his younger brother Liam Hemsworth was almost cast as Marvel`s Thor instead of him.</p>

<p>According to E! News, while promoting the latest instalment of the franchise, `Thor: Love and Thunder, the 38-year-old revealed just how close Liam was to playing the Mjolnir swinging character. While several recent Marvel Cinematic Universe projects have been exploring the Multiverse, the same isn`t the case with `Thor: Love and Thunder.</p>

<p>Chris told an entertainment outlet, "In this film, it`s not something we explore. But who knows if there is more in the future, as you say it has opened up multitudes of options we can head in or be taken in."</p>

<p>He stated he`d like his brother Liam to play an alternate version of Thor if the movies ever explore the multiverse, eventually.</p>

<p>"My little brother almost got cast as Thor. He was one of the first people who got right down to the wire on getting the part so, I don`t know, I could cross paths with him. That will be fun," Chris admitted.</p>

<p>Last month, during a show, Chris recalled not getting a call-back for the role after his initial audition. "I think my audition sucked. I think that was the response I got," he said.</p>

<p>Although Chris did not make it to the next round, Liam shortly after decided to pursue the gig--and impressively made it down to the "last five people" being considered." They were like, `Look, he`s great, but he`s a bit young.` My manager then said, `Well, he does have an older brother,` which was me," he explained, adding, "I came back in, re-auditioned a few times, and just had a different attitude.</p>

<p>Chris ultimately went on to join the MCU, with the first Thor movie premiering back in 2011. But Liam didn`t exactly get the short end of the stick as he debuted in `The Hunger Games` a year later in 2012.</p>

<p>The franchise has proven to have deep family ties for the Hemsworth brothers. Chris and Liam`s older brother, Luke, has appeared in both `Thor: Ragnarok` and `Thor: Love and Thunder` in a cameo as an Asgardian actor playing Thor, as per E! News.</p>

<p>Reality-TV star Khloe Kardashian is said to have ended her relationship with the private equity investor she was dating this year. According to Fox News, the 38-year-old reality-TV star and the mystery man`s relationship "slowly fizzled out over the last few weeks".</p>

<p>The `Keeping Up With the Kardashians` star recently became a mother of two after having her son through surrogacy with Tristan Thompson. True Thompson, Kardashian and Thompson`s daughter, was born in 2018.</p>

<p>"Khloe is enjoying being single with her sole focus on being a mom and her work," the source said. "Khloe is open to finding love again if the right person comes into her life, but is really happy right now. She is not looking and in no rush."</p>

<p>After being introduced by Kim Kardashian, the private equity investor and Kardashian became romantically involved for the first time in June. The creator of Good American has no intention of getting back together with Thompson despite their breakup with the mystery man.</p>

<p>Rapper, singer and songwriter Nicki Minaj will receive MTV`s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award and perform for the first time since 2018 at the 2022 VMAs, airing live from Prudential Center on Sunday, Aug. 28.</p>

<p>According to Variety, Minaj, who has been nominated for the VMAs 17 times and has won five times, won her first Moon Person for best hip-hop video in 2011. She is a candidate for best hip-hop this year.</p>

<p>"Nicki has broken barriers for women in hip-hop with her versatility and creative artistry," said Bruce Gillmer, president of music, music talent, programming and events, Paramount+. "She has shifted the music industry and cemented her status as a global superstar with her crossover appeal, genre-defying style and continuing to be unapologetic `Nicki`."</p>

<p>The Video Vanguard Award was not given out at the VMAs last year for the second consecutive year. Between 2004 and 2005, as well as again between 2007 and 2010, no one was given the honour. Between 2013 and 2019, the Vanguard Award, arguably the show`s highest honour, was given to Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Kanye West, Rihanna, P!nk, Jennifer Lopez, and Missy Elliott.</p>

<p>In 2012, Minaj made her VMAs debut by rapping on Alicia Keys` "Girl on Fire." She made her stage comeback in 2014 with three performances: a solo rendition of her "Pinkprint" single "Anaconda," a performance with Ariana Grande and Jessie J for "Bang Bang," and a duet with Usher of "She Came To Give It To U."</p>

<p>Japanese designer Issey Miyake, famed for his pleated style of clothing that never wrinkles and who produced the signature black turtleneck of friend and Apple Inc founder Steve Jobs, has died, media said on Tuesday. He was 84.</p>

<p>Miyake, whose name became a byword for Japan`s economic and fashion prowess in the 1980s, died on Aug. 5 of liver cancer, Kyodo news agency said. No further details were immediately available.</p>

<p>Known for his practicality, Miyake is said to have wanted to become either a dancer or an athlete before reading his sister`s fashion magazines inspired him to change direction - with those original interests believed to be behind the freedom of movement his clothing permits.</p>

<p>Miyake was born in Hiroshima and was seven years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on the city while he was in a classroom. He was reluctant to speak of the event in later life. In 2009, writing in the New York Times as part of a campaign to get then-U.S. President Barack Obama to visit the city, he said he did not want to be labelled as "the designer who survived" the bomb.</p>

<p>"When I close my eyes, I still see things no one should ever experience," he wrote, adding that within three years, his mother died of radiation exposure.</p>

<p>"I have tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to put them behind me, preferring to think of things that can be created, not destroyed, and that bring beauty and joy. I gravitated toward the field of clothing design, partly because it is a creative format that is modern and optimistic."</p>

<p>After studying graphic design at a Tokyo art university, he learnt clothing design in Paris, where he worked with famed fashion designers Guy Laroche and Hubert de Givenchy, before heading to New York. In 1970 he returned to Tokyo and founded the Miyake Design Studio.</p>

<p>In the late 1980s, he developed a new way of pleating by wrapping fabrics between layers of paper and putting them into a heat press, with the garments holding their pleated shape. Tested for their freedom of movement on dancers, this led to the development of his signature "Pleats, Please" line.</p>

<p>Eventually he developed more than a dozen fashion lines ranging from his main Issey Miyake for men and women to bags, watches and fragrances before essentially retiring in 1997 to devote himself to research.<br />
In 2016, when asked what he thought were the challenges facing future designers, he indicated to the UK`s Guardian newspaper that people were likely to be consuming less.</p>

<p>"We may have to go through a thinning process. This is important," he was quoted as saying.</p>

<p>The eldest Kardashian of the three Kardashian sisters,&nbsp;Kourtney, 43, is making waves on the internet for her latest lakeside pictures. In the viral snaps, she is seen donning a black monokini with a pair of matching swim gloves. And, everyone is talking about her&nbsp;elbow-length hand covers that are quite unique for the swimwear market.</p>

<p>Last month, Kim's new Skims Swim drop also included swim gloves in seven different colours. This added another category of accessories to swimwear. While swim gloves aren't a new concept, they were usually used by people who had skin conditions or who wanted to keep their hands warm in cold water. While some gloves helped swimmers swim faster. But, it seems that Kim just wanted her gloves to be a fashion accessory since they do not have pads or webbed fingers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Kim's SKIMS website, the swim gloves are available in 9 different sizes and 7 different shades. They retail for $48 for a pair.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While sharing the two pictures, Kourtney shared that she loves "lake life" through her caption. Take a look!</p>

<p>Do we really need swim gloves? This is the question several netizens are asking on social media. One user wrote, "What’s with the gloves … not even when I water ski gloves are worn esp in summer… must be a fashion thingy. (sic)" Another tweeted, "Can you explain the gloves?" Meanwhile, one netizen said, "Nobody going to talk about the fact that she's wearing arm length gloves while swimming. (sic)" On contrary, some netizens are in love with the gloves. One user shared, "Okay, so the gloves aren't a usual thing but I love it. (sic)" Another wrote, "Love those gloves!"&nbsp;</p>

The eldest Kardashian of the three Kardashian sisters, Kourtney, 43, is making waves on the internet for her latest lakeside pictures. In the viral snaps, she is seen donning a black monokini with a pair of matching swim gloves.

The eldest Kardashian of the three Kardashian sisters, Kourtney, 43, is making waves on the internet for her latest lakeside pictures. In the viral snaps, she is seen donning a black monokini with a pair of matching swim gloves. And, everyone is talking about her elbow-length hand covers that are quite unique for the swimwear market. Last month, Kim's new Skims Swim drop also included swim gloves in seven different colours. This added another category of accessories to swimwear. While swim gloves aren't a new concept, they were usually used by people who had skin conditions or who wanted to keep their hands warm in cold water. While some gloves helped swimmers swim faster. But, it seems that Kim just wanted her gloves to be a fashion accessory since they do not have pads or webbed fingers. On Kim's SKIMS website, the swim gloves are available in 9 different sizes and 7 different shades. They retail for $48 for a pair. While sharing the two pictures, Kourtney shared that she loves "lake life" through her caption. Take a look!

<p>Justin Beiber is known to be very kind to his friends and fans and has on numerous occasions won the hearts of many with his generosity. On Sunday, the pop star took to his Instagram to apologise for "inappropriate comments" on a user`s post.</p>

<p>Justin mentioned that he had earlier posted a rude comment on someone`s Instagram post and had come to a realisation that he shouldn`t have written something like that.</p>

<p>Justin issued a public apology to the unidentified Instagram user by posting a long note on his Instagram story. He wrote, "For some reason, I commented on some guys` page `sad existence` because he was doing something I thought was dumb. Not quite sure why I felt the need to write that. If what he was doing makes him happy who am I to say anything, hope it didn`t hurt his feelings, it`s been eating me up all day. To the dude I wrote it to, man I`m sorry".</p>

<p>Well, this gesture surely won the hearts of his fans who instantly started reposting his story. In other news, Justin recently resumed his `Justice World Tour` following his recent health issues, and he is in Norway. He performed in Norway on Sunday as part of his tour of Europe.</p>

<p>Justin will soon visit India. He is all set to perform in New Delhi on October 18 as a part of his `Justice World Tour`. He will be performing at New Delhi`s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on the mentioned date. The tickets for the concert are now live and are priced from Rs 4,000 onwards.</p>

<p>Bieber documented his facial paralysis in an Instagram video. "As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can`t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move, so there`s full paralysis on this side of my face," the singer-songwriter told his followers in June.</p>

'Delhi Crime season 2' official trailer: Shefali Shah aka DCP Vartika is back to nab the murders

<p>Tom Cruise`s fighter-jet adventure `Top Gun: Maverick` has toppled `Titanic` as the seventh-biggest film ever at the domestic box office, earning $662 million in ticket sales. According to Variety, in the 110-year history of Paramount, "Top Gun: Maverick" has also surpassed "Titanic" as the studio`s most popular movie with $1.5 billion abroad and $2.2 billion worldwide.</p>

<p>It`s impressive that "Top Gun: Maverick" has made the same amount of money internationally as it did at home; the worldwide total for the movie is $690 million. The blockbuster sequel to 1986`s "Top Gun" has earned $1.3 billion worldwide without being seen in China or Russia.</p>

<p>Thanks to glowing word-of-mouth and repeat customers, "Top Gun: Maverick" is pulling in audiences in a way that would have been monumental even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, it`s close to reaching Marvel`s epic superhero mashup "Avengers: Infinity War," which currently stands as the sixth-highest grossing domestic release ever with $678 million.</p>

<p>Beyond that, "Black Panther" ($700 million), "Avatar" ($760 million), "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ($804 million), "Avengers: Endgame" ($853 million), and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936 million) make out the list of the top five domestic films ever.</p>

<p>"Top Gun: Maverick" has been a box office power since the movie opened in May and broke the Memorial Day weekend opening record with $160.5 million. For 10 weeks, the movie remained in the top five of the weekend rankings. It is Cruise`s first film to gross more than $100 million in a single weekend and to top $1 billion globally.</p>

<p>The long-delayed sequel to "Top Gun," directed by Joseph Kosinski, follows Tom Cruise`s Pete "Maverick" Mitchell as he prepares a youthful crew of pilots for a perilous mission, decades after the events of the first film.

Tom Cruise`s fighter-jet adventure `Top Gun: Maverick` has toppled `Titanic` as the seventh-biggest film ever at the domestic box office, earning $662 million in ticket sales. According to Variety, in the 110-year history of Paramount, "Top Gun: Maverick" has also surpassed "Titanic" as the studio`s most popular movie with $1.5 billion abroad and $2.2 billion worldwide. It`s impressive that "Top Gun: Maverick" has made the same amount of money internationally as it did at home; the worldwide total for the movie is $690 million. The blockbuster sequel to 1986`s "Top Gun" has earned $1.3 billion worldwide without being seen in China or Russia. Thanks to glowing word-of-mouth and repeat customers, "Top Gun: Maverick" is pulling in audiences in a way that would have been monumental even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, it`s close to reaching Marvel`s epic superhero mashup "Avengers: Infinity War," which currently stands as the sixth-highest grossing domestic release ever with $678 million. Beyond that, "Black Panther" ($700 million), "Avatar" ($760 million), "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ($804 million), "Avengers: Endgame" ($853 million), and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936 million) make out the list of the top five domestic films ever. "Top Gun: Maverick" has been a box office power since the movie opened in May and broke the Memorial Day weekend opening record with $160.5 million. For 10 weeks, the movie remained in the top five of the weekend rankings. It is Cruise`s first film to gross more than $100 million in a single weekend and to top $1 billion globally.
