A jury has found Ed Sheeran not liable in the copyright infringement lawsuit where he stood accused of using the "heart" of Marvin Gaye's hit "Let's Get It On" in his hit "Thinking Out Loud." After less than three hours of deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict, which was required for this case. When the verdict was read, Ed immediately hugged his lawyers as his wife and co-writer wiped away tears. Afterwards, Ed said, "I'm obviously very happy with the outcome of the case, and it looks like I'm not having to retire from my day job, after all." He added, "I'm just a guy with a guitar who loves writing music for people to enjoy. I am not and will never allow myself to be a piggy bank for anyone to shake."
For a lot of people, meeting Lizzo would be a dream come true, but for Lizzo meeting her inspiration was like that. She shared a video of herself performing alongside her longtime idol and flute legend James Galway. Lizzo explained, "When I was 11 years old and learning the flute I needed a challenge from my 5th grade level studies. So I found 'The Man with the Golden Flute' by James Galway and it changed the trajectory of my life." Her parents noticed how seriously she was taking her flute lessons, so they paid for her to get lessons from university-level teachers, according to nme.com, and the rest is history. Unfortunately, some fans had to miss out on her flute-playing and singing the other night since Lizzo had to cancel her concert in Montreal because she's sick. Her next show is scheduled for Saturday in Connecticut, but it's still unclear if she'll be well enough to perform, TMZ reports.

After ten years, you'd think a series would be given a chance to go out the way the writers wanted it to. But showrunners of "The Goldbergs" revealed they weren't given a chance to wrap things up the way they'd intended, because they didn't even know the series was wrapping up. Wednesday night's episode was the end. Alex Barnow said, "We weren't quite positive it was going to be our finale when we wrote the final episode of the season. I think, truthfully, had we known it was really the final episode, we would have done a more full-bodied tribute to the show" and "dug in with a more emotional story."
The Writers Guild of America is on strike, and they expect "Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega to join them, avclub.com reports. You might remember she said in an interview earlier this year, "There were times on that set where I almost became unprofessional in a sense, where I just started changing lines… I would have to sit down with the writers…and explain why I couldn't do certain things." Apparently, the writers haven't forgotten about that, and one writer tweeted about her Met Gala appearance, "Jenna Ortega better be back from NY for her afternoon shift on the picket line," Another retweeted, adding, "Rewriting is writing! See you at the line, Jenna!" One even held a sign at the picket line, which read, "Without writers, Jenna Ortega will have nothing to punch up!"

All the final preparations are being wrapped up for the coronation of King Charles, and just days before the event the world will tune in to see, someone decided to mow a special design into the lawn of one of the areas that will be the setting for one of the parties. The lawn now has a design, a very giant one, let's just say in biological terms, this lawn's a male. It appeared yesterday morning.
