Yummy — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 02:37:18 +0000

Canadian singer Avril Lavigne is cleared from a copyright suit.

Avril Lavigne was reported to have settled her lawsuit with songwriters Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer, who claimed that her hit song, “Girlfriend”, was plagiarizing the Rubinoos 1979 single, “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend”.

Dunbar and Gangwer filed the lawsuit in July 2007 against Avril (and her songwriting partner, Dr. Luke). On Tuesday (Jan 15) however, they issued a statement that cleared Lavigne and Luke from the suit…

“We are satisfied that any similarities between the two songs resulted from Avril and Luke’s use of certain common and widely used lyrics,”

“We therefore completely exonerate Avril and Luke from any wrongdoing of any kind in connection with the claims made by us in our lawsuit.”

Britney Spears lost children custody

Yummy — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 10:12:31 +0000

Britney Spears has lost custody of her two sons. She is ordered by the LA court on Monday to hand over the boys to ex-husband Kevin Federline on Wednesday (Oct 3).

Britney’s lawyer said that the 25-year-old pop star lost the case because she fail to produce a California driver’s license and allegedly missed a drug and alcohol test as ordered by the court. I believe there are many other reasons though.

Frankly I am not a fan of K-Fed… but at the moment, he is probably a much better option to take care of the kids. Too bad for Britney, but she can’t blame anyone… she is an adult and has to be responsible for what she did.

Evonne Hsu recovering from surgery

Yummy — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 14:12:36 +0000

Taiwanese pop star Evonne Hsu is recovering well from her surgery; she was seen strolling in a shopping area with her manager yesterday (September 12).

The American born artist has been relying on wheelchair for some weeks since her waist surgery in mid-August… it’s good to see her walking like normal again.

Her manager later told the press that Evonne is recovering well from the surgery, and will be back to the studio to prepare her next album soon. She didn’t mention if Evonne will be able to dance again though… early rumours had suggested that Evonne is advised not to dance again to prevent further injury.
