“I’m losing my voice,” Don Henley said in New York Supreme Court on Wednesday. No surprise: The 76-year-old leader of the Eagles was wrapping up his third day of testimony in a case involving allegedly stolen pads containing developmental lyrics for Eagles songs.
After being handed a lozenge by one of the prosecutors in the case, Henley resumed answering questions about the pads, a 1979 contract between the band and writer Ed Sanders (who was writing an authorized biography of the group), and other matters from his past. In the case,...

Britney Spears’ father and his lawyers should be sanctioned and found in contempt of court for disclosing confidential medical information on his daughter that was under seal, the pop star’s lawyer said Wednesday at a hearing that ended with no decision on the issue.
“They’re trying to embarrass Britney Spears and bully Britney Spears, while trying to vindicate Jamie Spears,” said attorney Mathew Rosengart, who added that no document could do so.
The sealed exhibits were included in a motion from Jamie Spears filed in July to compel the deposition of his daughter, which was denied. After the filing was submitted, Rosengart was forced to move to seal the motion to compel. Alex Weingarten, representing Jamie Spears, challenged the sealing.
“Why did he oppose the sealing motion?” Rosengart asked. He urged L.A. Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny to find Weingarten...

Britney Spears won’t be sitting for her dad’s so-called “revenge deposition,” a judge ruled Wednesday.
The Los Angeles County judge stuck to the court’s tentative order at an afternoon hearing and spared the “Toxic” singer the in-person grilling sought by her dad Jamie Spears. Britney’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart argued it would leave his client “re-traumatized.”
In her ruling from the bench, Judge Brenda Penny said the pop star “likely lacks” any relevant knowledge about her dad’s disputed conduct, including his alleged spying scheme first reported...

Robert Kirkman and his fellow The Walking Dead executive producers may have been late to the game compared to Frank Darabont when it came to taking AMC to court over profits from the zombie apocalypse series, but it looks like the creator will be first to trial next year.
At least a mini-trial that could see the whole matter resolved.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel Buckley ruled Wednesday that Twd creator Kirkman can have a mini-trial starting February 10 to resolve contract interpretations with the cabler. The so-called min-trial is expected to last 2-3 weeks.
That means the creator and executive producer will see at least part of the August 2017 case he filed with fellow EPs Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert and Charles Eglee,
plus former showrunner Glenn Mazzara, in motion about four months before Twd’s first showrunner Darabont’s more that $300 million case has its scheduled trial start...

In the often blood drenched vein of “if at first you don’t succeed, pummel, pummel again,” AMC today took another stab at killing off a pivotal court ruling in Frank Darabont and CAA’s nearly $300 million long running lawsuit over profits from The Walking Dead.
“Plaintiffs’ ever-changing factual and legal positions have hopelessly confused this litigation and have made summary judgment in their favor plainly inappropriate,” a filing by the home of the zombie apocalypse series in New York Supreme Court asserted on Tuesday. “The genuine issues of fact and law created by Plaintiffs’ various filings require resolution by a jury,” added AMC’s five-page supplemental reply memorandum of law (read it here).
The filing and an accompanying letter to Justice Eileen Bransten from AMC’s Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher attorneys come less than two weeks before a June 13 hearing on the cabler’s motion to axe the summary judgement ruling in the case.

The Captain Marvel movie will bring back some familiar faces to the McU. Here's everything you need to know!
Carol Corps, assemble! After far too long, Captain Marvel finally arrives in March 2019 as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first movie headlined solely by a woman. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Mississippi Grind) will direct the Captain Marvel movie from a script by Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Nicole Perlman (who famously helped develop Guardians of the Galaxy for the screen) and Meg LeFauve.
So where does this movie fit in the Marvel timeline? Easy, it's a prequel set in the 1990s, which makes it basically immune to the tricky ending of Avengers: Infinity War (even though she was teased by that post-credits scene). Steve Rogers is still on ice and Tony has yet to become Iron Man, giving Carol plenty of room to develop as a hero in her own right.

The lead attorney for CBS expressed his disappointment with a ruling Friday that will allow ABC’s new reality competition series The Glass House to air on Monday despite its alleged similarity to Big Brother. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter outside the courtroom, attorney Scott Edelman insisted CBS will go forward with its copyright and trade-secret case against Glass House in the wake of U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess denying his request for a temporary restraining order Friday.

Los Angeles — A federal judge on Friday said he's inclined to allow ABC to air its new reality competition series "The Glass House" over rival network CBS' objections that the show copies "Big Brother."
U.S. District Judge Gary Feess said Friday he was not persuaded that CBS had proved it would be harmed if "Glass House" aired. He said the new show's audience participation element is likely to make it different from "Big Brother."
ABC has said "Glass House" contestants will have to curry audience popularity in order to succeed on the series.
"The audience involvement in particular in `The Glass House' is a constant role in this show as it proceeds," Feess said. "I think is very likely to induce quite different behavior than one would expect to see in the `Big Brother' show."
Feess said he would look at issues raised during a hearing Friday, but he...

Update: CBS issued the following statement after today’s court hearing. “We appreciate the court’s continuing consideration of this case and our request for an injunction. Win, lose or draw on the temporary restraining order, we intend to proceed with our claims against Disney/ABC for copyright infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets over The Glass House, which may still warrant more injunction proceedings depending on the content of each episode. At the same time we will move forward with our individual claims for liability and liquidated damages against any current The Glass House producer who violated their Big Brother confidentiality agreement.” Previous: CBS today lost its request for a temporary restraining order against ABC’s Glass House, at least for now. “There is no injunction from the bench today, said Judge Gary Feess at the end of today’s hearing. “I think it is unlikely I will change...

CBS is getting its day in court to get a temporary restraining order that would stop the June 18 premiere of ABC’s Glass House. Judge Gary Feess today set a hearing for first thing Friday morning for the networks’ lawyers to plead their case before him. The judge could make a ruling at the time to stop production on the ABC show and prevent the premiere from airing. This comes one day after CBS responded to ABC’s opposition on Monday to the Tro request that CBS filed last week. The two networks have engaged in a series of legal shots since CBS sued ABC over Glass House on May 10. CBS says Glass House is a blatant rip-off of its Big Brother, a claim ABC rejects. The announcement of the Tro hearing comes the same day CBS asked ABC to turn over hundreds of pages of documents, emails and even...

CBS lawyers are threatening ABC over a recently announced reality show called Life in a Glass House, which CBS claims is a direct rip-off of the long-running hit Big Brother. In a cease-and-desist letter sent Friday to top ABC executives Anne Sweeney and Alan Braverman and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, CBS lawyer Scott Edelman of the Gibson Dunn firm says Glass House is "strikingly" similar to Big Brother, which CBS has aired since 2000. "In the strongest possible terms, we must admonish ABC and anyone involved in the development or production of Glass House that

There seems to be a massive resurgence in everything zombie, or zombie-like nowadays. From books such as Craig Dilouie's The Infection, to film e.g. World War Z and even in digital games like "Dead Island," there is no shortage of undead material to get your rotten hands onto. Therefore, the zombie literature genre is a competitive market, one where the creme (cream) thankfully shambles to the top. This is the case with Stephen Jones' version of the coming zombocalypse. Released in paperback form December 7th, Zombie Apocalypse unites several horror fiction writers to believably tell tales of the undead. In no time, London falls,...

Multiple sources are reporting that New Line and MGM are (finally!) very close to greenlighting the two-part movie version of The Hobbit (but that it's still not a done deal). I hate it when someone makes an off-hand comment, and it becomes huge international news, but in this case, I guess it sort of is news: J.K. Rowling doesn't seem to have completely ruled out eventually writing another Harry Potter novel. An interview with "zombie" author Scott Edelman (The Human Race). Remember the story about Ridley Scott's Alien prequel possibly falling apart over budgetary and "gore" issues?...
