Like many people, we've often dreamt of jiggling around flashing lights into Keanu Reeves' face as he attempts to drive a car. But we've been too scared to do that, because of that paparazzo who claimed that Keanu Reeves mercilessly mowed him down while he was doing that exact same thing. But our days of worry are far behind us, readers - Keanu Reeves has been cleared of liability over the accident. You know what that means? It means that Keanu Reeves didn't run over photographer Alison Silva last year, yes, but mainly it means that we're all allowed to be as infuriatingly intrusive towards Keanu Reeves while he's in his car as we like, and he almost certainly won't drive into us as fast as he can, shattering our pelvis into a million pieces. Almost certainly. Result!
The copyright lawsuit between JK Rowling and The Harry Potter Lexicon finished yesterday, but don't think you can go back to not giving a stuff about it again. As you remember, JK Rowling claims that The Harry Potter Lexicon unfairly and illegally plagiarises the Harry Potter novels, while the makers of The Harry Potter Lexicon just claim that it's nothing more than a reference book. And now the case has concluded. However, we won't know if JK Rowling or The Harry Potter Lexicon author Steven Vander Ark will win yet, because the judge needs to go away and think about it. And he won't do that until both JK Rowling and Steven Vander Ark have submitted written summations of their arguments to him. We're just guessing here, but we'd assume that Vander Ark's summation is going to be identical to Rowling's, but with a couple of words changed and cheaper-looking artwork.
You may remember that attorney who claimed Britney Spears' civil rights had been removed by the way her father kept her constantly encased in a pulsating plasma forcefield and only fed her twigs.
Or something. Anyway, this attorney - Jon Eardley - had been pushing to move Britney Spears' conservatorship case to a federal court because of this apparent civil rights hoo-hah.
But it isn't going to happen. A judge has ruled that the Britney Spears case has to remain in California because the attorney isn't really Britney Spears' attorney. Interesting, huh? OK, on with your lives now.
The only things standing between OJ Simpson spending the rest of his life in jail for armed robbery and OJ Simpson being set free to skip around in a meadow like a wide-eyed schoolgirl are guns.
And whether or not OJ Simpson knew there were guns during the heist has been the main point in the court case to determine whether or not OJ Simpson should face a full trial for his alleged crime. OJ Simpson, you see, is adamant that he saw none of his goonsquad carrying guns during the hotel-room sports memorabilia raid - but testimonies by the goon who owned the guns, the goon who OJ Simpson asked to carry a gun and the memorabilia dealer who apparently had a gun held to his face seem to go against that. It all sounds a bit far-fetched to us - anyone who's read If I Did It knows that OJ Simpson's weapon of choice is a knife. That's a knife.
