Nirvana wins its lawsuit against the baby of the cover of Nevermind

Spencer Elden took the band Nirvana to court, claiming that the image of him as a baby, where he was naked on the album Nevermind released in 1991, constituted abuse.

Elden, who was the baby on the cover in question, eventually bowed out of the lawsuit he filed (January 2022).

At the time, the family was paid $200 for the band to use the photo, and years later, Elden claimed that the image caused him permanent harm, The Guardian reported.

As a child, he was unable to give his consent for the photo to be used, so he recently returned to the case, asking for about $200,000 in damages.

In the end, U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin dismissed the case because of the time lapse in the complaint, which was more than ten years old.

Nirvana argued that Elden had taken advantage of his status for personal and professional gain.

The FBI at Trump’s: some ‘secret’ filing cabinets… are empty!

The FBI searched Donald Trump’ s Mar-a-Lago club and details have emerged about documents the former president allegedly possessed illegally.

According to the FBI release, agents came across a multitude of empty files labeled “classified.”

Could the documents be gone?

The contents of the files are not known, but according to the information circulating in this regard, they are marked classified and therefore cannot leave the White House.

There are 43 empty files marked “classified” and 28 others marked “Return to the Secretary of Staff” or “Military Assistance”!

The FBI is therefore questioning the situation even more with all these boxes containing… empty files!

Donald Trump’s social network on the verge of collapse

Truth Social, the social network created by the former U.S. president Donald Trump seems to be on the verge of bankruptcy.

According to what FOX Business, a generally billionaire-friendly news source, has learned, the former president’s social media company, Truth Social, is engaged in a battle with one of its vendors who claims the platform owes him more than $1million inpayments.

If true, this information would suggest that Truth Social ‘s finances would be in shambles.

According to FOX, Internet infrastructure company RightForge, which hosts Truth Social on its servers, is reportedly among Truth Social’s top vendors and creditors seeking payment.

According to three sources at the conservative news network with direct knowledge of the matter, RightForge claims that Truth Social has failed to meet its contractual obligations to make monthly payments for setting up the platform’s web service infrastructure.

These individuals claim that RightForge alleges that Truth Social has made only three payments and has stopped making any payments since last March. RightForge claims Truth Social owes it about $1.6 million and is threatening to sue to get the money back, these people add.

Since its launch in February, Truth Social has been the former president’s primary way to make public announcements and attack his critics, who have been banned from other social networks since the events on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., in January 2021.

Truth Social is part of Trump Media and Technology Group, a holding company for the platform that, according to regulatory documents, has broader plans to expand into streaming and other services to promote Trump’s political brand. The former president reportedly holds a majority stake in Truth Social, according to FOXBusiness.

Donald Trump has still not announced his intentions regarding the next race for the American presidency. The billionaire, who recently faced FBI searches at his Florida residence, has already mentioned to relatives that he would like to see himself as the47th President of the United States.

Vanessa Bryant receives $16 million in Kobe helicopter crash lawsuit

Photos have invaded their private lives.

Vanessa Bryant and her co-plaintiff, Chris Chester, were awarded $31 million together by a Los Angeles jury, People reported.

The final verdict was handed down late Wednesday afternoon. The jury found that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and the Fire Department (LAFD) shared photos of the bodies of Bryant and Chester’s loved ones and in doing so invaded their privacy and caused emotional distress.

The jury ordered LASD to pay Vanessa $10 million and Chris a total of $9 million. While the LAFD is ordered to pay the pair $6 million each.

The decision coincidentally came on National Kobe Bryant Day , aka Mamba Day, which is a day to honor the late Los Angeles Lakers legend.

The emotional trial ended just hours after the Los Angeles County legal team made its closing arguments.

Attorneys for Vanessa and Chris did not speak outside of court. After the verdict, Mira Hashmall, a partner at the Miller Barondess law firm and the county’s lead outside counsel, thanked the jury for their hard work.

“While we disagree with the jury’s findings of liability for the county, we believe the monetary award shows that the jurors did not believe the evidence supported the plaintiffs’ claims of $75 million for emotional distress,” Hashmall said in a statement provided to People.

Dennis Rodman wants to save Brittney Griner… but the White House doesn’t want to!

Controversial former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman is planning to set foot in Russia as he has a desire to rescue basketball star Brittney Griner, according to Rolling Stone.

Griner is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence in Russia after being arrested for a drug-related charge in early August.

However, it seems that the United States and Russia are in talks about a possible prisoner exchange, but nothing has been concluded yet.

The former number 91 has received permission from Russia to go there, and then he plans to do so this week, but the problem… is that the White House would rather not!

The reason is simple, if Rodman gets involved, it could totally derail the negotiations between the two clans over the prisoner’s treaty.

Rumors point to a potential deal involving Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout in return for the incarcerated basketball player.

Alec Baldwin says Donald Trump wanted him assassinated

Actor Alec Baldwin claimed that Donald Trump called on people on January 6 to assassinate him.

Trump reportedly claimed, without knowing the details, that Baldwin intentionally fired the shot that struck and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the shooting of Rust.

Baldwin told reporter Chris Cuomo that the former president’s comment was a trigger for the mob to put a price on his head.

The interview lasted about two hours (the network did not show the entire thing).

Last week, it was reported that the FBI and Baldwin disagree on whether or not the trigger of the faulty gun on the set of Rust was pulled.

The 64-year-old actor says he did not pull the trigger during the Rust tragedy, while the FBI claims the opposite.
