Justin Bieber and Dan + Shay are Being Sued for Violating Copyright Agreement Over “10.000 Hours”

Several parties have filed suit against Justin Bieber and Dan + Shay. The suit claims that Bieber and the duo took the core portion of The First Time Baby Is A Holiday which was written by Palmer Rakes and Frank Fioravanti. The core portion includes the chorus, verse, and hook.

On Thursday (local time), International Manufacturing Concepts, Melomega music, and Sound Gems were among the companies who pointed out that the original song was released in 2014, five years before 10.000 Hours was released in 2019. Hence, the companies refuse to take into consideration that the similarities are purely accidental.

Both Bieber and Dan + Shay have not yet paid responses regarding the allegation that they’re facing now. The companies, who claim that they possess the song, are pursuing recognition on the track, along with money in damages, statutory damages, attorney fees — and an ultimatum averting further distribution of the song. 

The song was released in October 2019, just four days after Bieber married the famous model, Hailey Baldwin. In the music video, they each featured their wives and serenaded them in some romantic couple sets. The song 10.000 Hours has since gained some notable recognitions including two AMAs, an iHeartRadio Music Award, and a Billboard Award in 2020. Not to mention, a Grammy Award in 2021 for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

Surprisingly, this allegation is not the first time for Bieber. According to ABC News in 2016, he and the famous DJ, Skrillex, was sued by an indie-pop artist, Casey Dienel. She proclaimed that they pinched the hook on “Sorry” from one of her tracks.

We surely hope for the best resolution for both artists and companies. Don’t forget to visit BookMyShow for more up-to-date news about films, series, music, celebrities, and other entertainment sources!

Jennifer Lawrence Gave Birth to A Baby

The Don’t Look Up star welcomed her first child with her husband, Cooke Maroney!

Hollywood is for sure getting out of hand with the newest addition of a new little adorable member of full cuteness! With the upcoming celebrities’ babies yet to arrive, Jennifer Lawrence proudly anchored with her little one. Lawrence and Maroney, who were first linked back in June 2018, were expecting their first child together. The couple became engaged in February 2019 and tied the knot the following October.

Earlier this April, Amy Schumer talked about Lawrence’s newborn during a lie detector test in a YouTube video with Vanity Fair. She was asked whether Lawrence thinks motherhood has changed her for the better, but the comedian said she’s “only texted with [Lawrence] but I bet it has.”

The Life and Beth star also said she has yet to meet the baby and doesn’t know his or her name. “She’s smart enough not to tell me,” Schumer joked.

Lawrence recently stated on the cover of Vanity Fair December edition that, she hopes to “protect” her child’s “privacy” as much as possible. Hence, the public has not yet been informed about the sex of the baby.

“If I was at a dinner party, and somebody was like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re expecting a baby,’ I wouldn’t be like, ‘God, I can’t talk about that. Get away from me, you psycho!’ But every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can,” the 31-year-old actress said.

“I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence,” Lawrence added. “And I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work.”

According to an exclusive source from PEOPLE, Jennifer Lawrence can’t be more content with married life, as both Lawrence and Maroney are already looking forward to establishing a solid foundation in becoming parents.

Maria Sharapova Announced That She is A Mom-To-Be

The ex-tennis star is expecting her first child with Alexander Gilkes!

Not only excel at serving on the tennis court, but Maria Sharapova is also good at serving a surprise. The former tennis superstar and her British businessman fiancé, Alexander Gilkes, publicized that she and Gilkes are expecting their first child together. The amazing announcement took the same time as her special day which was her 35th birthday. 

Fans and pals immediately sent sweet messages in the comment section with a happy birthday and congratulated Sharapova and Gilkes on Sharapova’s pregnancy. The two of them were first seen out in public as a couple in 2018 and in December 2020, the former world number one tennis player happily confirmed her engagement to Gilkes. 

Regarding her burning passion for tennis, she has no issue linking it to her pregnancy as she is already retired a long way even before Gilkes popped his lifetime question. After spending literally more than half of her life on the tennis court, she finally called it a quit. According to an interview with Vanity Fair in February 2022, she revealed that tennis keeps her going from day to day in her life. It’s not about only giving her life to tennis, but tennis gives her life in return.

“I’ll miss it every day,” she persisted. “I’ll miss the training and my daily routine: Waking up at dawn, lacing my left shoe before my right, and closing the court’s gate before I hit my first ball of the day. I’ll miss my team, my coaches. I’ll miss the moments sitting with my father on the practice court bench.” She thinks that it’s time to settle down and focus on family.

Cristiano and Georgina described that the main source of strength for them to carry on during this hard time comes from their baby girl. Both Cristiano and Georgina don’t go into details about the cause of their baby boy’s misfortune as the couple may solicit for privacy since they’re still processing this devastating news. 

Last October, the couple who were then, parents of their four children, 4-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 4-year-old daughter Alana Martina, and 11-year-old son Cristiano Jr, announced the merry news that they were expecting twins. Life is a mystery and unfortunately, the couple has to go through a terribly hard time.

2NE1’s shocking reunion, Justin Bieber surprises the stage, and more!

Two years off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival or more commonly known for short as Coachella was finally able to rock LA again last weekend. The triumphant festival which is often attended by A-list celebrities with top-tier performances instantly captured the attention of music maniacs and became a trending topic in many countries. Coachella lasts for a total of six days divided into two weeks, April 15-17 and April 22-24. Located in Empire Polo Club, California, the first week of the festival was also aired live on Coachella’s official Youtube account. After successfully scoring the first week, Coachella seemed to already reap the fruits of success thanks to numerous performances.

What are some of the most notable moments that spark the first week of Coachella? BookMyShow managed to curate some of them in case you miss the euphoria. Take a peek below and rest assured that these moments will become the highlights of Coachella 2022!

1. 2NE1 Surprised Fans with A Reunion

Four queens have risen again! One of the pioneers in the history of the K-pop girl band, 2NE1, made fans both offline and online hysterical last weekend. Disbanding six years ago, 2NE1 decided that it was time for them to hop back on stage again. CL, as one of the members, said that she intentionally invited three other members, namely, Park Bom, Sandara Park, and Minzy as their most sincere form of appreciation for the tremendous amount of support in these past 13 years. 2NE1 was part of 88rising’s Heads In The Clouds Forever set.

2. Carly Rae Jepsen Debuted Her New Single

Carly Rae Jepsen has officially ended her hiatus. The Call Me Maybe singer gave fans a relieving fresh commencement last Friday (U.S. time)  in Coachella by performing her latest single Western Wind. Prior to Coachella, Jepsen has already thrown off a teaser about her new single last week after a two-year hiatus from music. After all, it’s no longer a “call me maybe” but a “call me back”, don’t you think?

3. Harry Styles Performed with Shania Twain and Spilled Two Unreleased Singles

One of One Direction’s ex-member, Harry Styles, wrapped up the first day of Coachella in style―of course. He performed some of his greatest hits ever since he went solos such as Adore You, Watermelon Sugar, Golden, and the most recent, As It Was. However, the singer gave a special jaw-dropper performance as he sang two unreleased singles, Boyfriends and Late Night Talking, from his soon-to-be-released album, Harry’s House. Not only that, he felt like the cherry on top would be perfect if he brought Shania Twain on stage. Yes, you read that right. Both of them shared their sweet bond as fellow artists and adored each other.

4. Anitta Became the First Brazilian Singer in Coachella

What can be more proud of than being able to represent your country in front of millions or even billions of people? Yes exactly, that glorious moment happened to Anitta last weekend. The 29-year-old singer shared the stage with some of the most well-known names in the music industry. She performed Onda Diferente with Snoop Dogg, as the two shared the single that was released in 2019. Anitta wore a selection of outfits in which the colors and patterns represented her country, Brazil. Speaking of special guests, the singer was humbled as she was given the opportunity to stand along with Saweetie and Diplo on stage.

5. Justin Bieber Joined Daniel Caesar

The R&B singer and Grammy winner, Daniel Caesar, didn’t want to miss the momentum in giving surprises to fans during Coachella’s first week. After performing his not-yet-to-be-released single Please Do Not Lean with his majestic voice, Caesar invited Justin Bieber to the stage. The two of them performed the Justice single, Peaches. What elevated the already perfect moment even more was probably the fact that Justin Bieber went shirtless with only jeans and a red hat―in our defense that it became even harder for everyone to not focus on these duo on stage.

Don’t miss out the next week’s Coachella as you will for sure see more powerful performances and don’t forget to visit BookMyShow for more up-to-date news about music, series, films, celebrities, and more entertaining sources!

Korean Drama “Happiness” is Now Available on Netflix

Image source: HanCinema

The title doesn’t resonate with the story, may or may not be, unfortunately…

Korean drama lovers may be familiar with this series. Happiness, which officially premiered on November 5, 2021, is now available on Netflix. Despite the fact that the title speaks to us about rainbows and butterflies, the story isn’t like what you think it was. This drama stars Han Hyo-joo, Park Hyung-sik, and Jo Woo-jin. Inspired by the current situation, which is about the COVID-19, this series twists the plot just a little bit since the story begins with a drug that is spread in the community and creates an emergence of a new virus. The drug is apparently going to make its consumers lose their consciousness and turn into bloodthirsty beasts, a.k.a zombies.

Situations are getting out of hand around, since the virus is increasingly infecting the residents of the apartment, the place where Jung Yi Hyun (Park Hyung-sik) and Yoon Sae Bom (Han-Hyo-joo) live as a newlywed couple. In the midst of the increasingly spreading virus, they must find a cure to cure the people who have been exposed to the virus. And of course, do everything they can in order to survive and remain humans. Not only that, the two must find a way to learn everything about the zombies every time they encounter them.

Just like in any other story, there are always the good guys and the bad guys. Jung Yi Hyun and Yoon Sae Bom have to face many struggles in their journey to get out alive, save others, and also find the cure. Will they succeed in saving themselves and everyone around them? Serving you the chill, the tense, the sorrow, and the joy, this series is for sure a must-added to your list!

Daniel Caesar Has Signed to Republic Records

The singer will soon release a new album

Daniel Caesar seals a new deal with Republic Records! The R&B artist says that he can’t keep both being a business person and a talented artist therefore, he intends to “keep artistry and business separate with a major label as my partner.” Previously, Daniel Caesar was signed to Golden Child Recordings, a Toronto-based label, in which he was the co-founder. As a genius artist, Caesar has achieved notable coups together with both his business and creative team, for example, winning a Grammy for Best R&B Performance for his track Best Part featuring H.E.R. Another milestone recently happened when his shared song, Peaches, with Justin Bieber and Giveon managed to reach the number one spot on Billboard Hot 100. 

The singer who was born with the name Ashton Simmonds previously has made it clear that he wanted to remain an independent artist. In 2020, he believed that signing to a label or intertwining your ideas with other people “would be a bad decision.” He then proceeded on to add, “As soon as you sign, you give over your ideas, your potential, to somebody else to do how they see fit. You’re no longer the big boss.” Considering some of the most vile feuds between artists and their labels, it absolutely makes sense for Caesar to go on his way.

The other day, Caesar just confirmed to Billboard that he is working on his highly anticipated third studio album, arriving three years after his top five Top R&B Albums project Case Study 01. And as the singer qualifies himself for his upcoming Coachella performance, his principle has shifted. “I did as much as I could on my own and I experienced a lot as an independent artist,” he explains. “I wanted to feel the difference of having such a large machine behind me.”

The upcoming album is produced by Dylan Wiggins (Lucky Daye, The Weeknd) and Caesar himself. “Each album, I’ve become more myself, and I’m zeroing in on what I want to say. You’ll hear more introspection, honesty and I’m playing most of the music myself,” Caesar tells Billboard. “I’ve never been in the driver’s seat more than I am now.”

Jennifer Lopez’s Engagement Ring is Extremely Rare, According to Experts

Image source: STEVE GRANITZ/FILMMAGIC

Come back for each other’s better version, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are moving to the next level!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s engagement is denoted by a beautiful green diamond ring. Talking about remembering small details, Ben Affleck seems to be the winner, as green is the singer’s favorite color. On the Jlo newsletter, the singer describes the color as her lucky charm. She recalled many amazing things happened in her life“… when I was wearing green”.

In an exclusive interview between PEOPLE and two diamond experts, the green diamond ring is one of the rarest pieces to ever exist. Grant Mobley, a Diamond Expert in Natural Diamond Council, stated that there are not enough words to describe the rarity of the diamond that sits gracefully on the 52-year-old singer’s ring finger.

“Generally speaking, green is the second rarest natural color of a diamond with fancy red being the rarest. Only a small handful of green diamonds come to the market every year and almost never are they in the vivid color and size of this diamond.” ― Grant Mobley

Talking about the price, it’s for sure that the price of this green diamond will significantly increase in value in many years ahead, moreover, considering that Lopez’s ring is in vivid intense green color. And now, the question pops out in our heads, where does this green color come from? Turns out, the color appears thanks to rare natural radiation below the earth.

“Green diamonds get their unique color from the exposure to natural radiation deep within the Earth after they have formed and this causes them to reflect green light. It is very rare for this to penetrate through the entire rough diamond and therefore is usually just a thin layer on the surface of the rough diamond. This fact makes green diamonds among the most difficult to cut and a diamond like this could have taken a year or more to plan and cut to ensure that it reflects the best cut and color possible.”

The happy news was released after a year of their rekindled romance. As we all probably know, Lopez and Affleck had a history in the past but went their own separate ways. Fate can’t be bothered, as the old saying goes, both of them are reunited under much better circumstances, in experiences and mentality. Despite having their own kids from their previous partners, the couple remains strong and very understanding as the family always comes first.

Image source: instagram.com/brooklynbeckham

A not-so-secret wedding attended by A-list notable figures!

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are officially husband and wife! The couple tied the knot on April 9, 2022 (U.S. time), and took place at the Peltz family mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. They started dating in 2019 and went public in January 2020. Not even a year has passed since they started dating, the couple didn’t hesitate to take their relationship to the next level. In July 2020, the eldest son of the famous ex-English football player, David Beckham, and the ex-member of Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham, announced his engagement to Nicola Peltz. In a sweet Instagram photo, he expressed his tremendous amount of gratefulness for meeting the love of his life.

The couple had postponed their big day amid the rising of COVID-19. But in the end, they celebrated their forever happy ending with family and closest friends. Here are some things you definitely should know about their private and lavish wedding!

1. It’s a Three-Day Celebration

David Beckham and Victoria’s eldest son’s wedding was held at the Peltz family estate. Invited guests arrived at the wedding venue since Friday, April 8, 2022, to enjoy cocktails to welcome the wedding. The wedding reception was then held the next day, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The party continued on Sunday, April 10, 2022, and that marked a series of weddings that lasted for three days.

2. The ‘Peltz’ in Brooklyn

Refusing to follow the conventional change after marriage, Brooklyn decided that he is the one who has to change his name, instead of Nicola. He added the name ‘Peltz’ to his birth name, becoming Brooklyn Joseph Peltz Beckham. Rumour has it, he had done the deed to prove his loyalty to Nicola.

3. A Prenup is Signed-Off

Before getting married, the couple reportedly signed a prenuptial agreement. Although the Beckhams are worth £380 million (US$499 million), Peltz’s father, Nelson Peltz, is a businessman with an estimated £1.3 billion (US$1.7 billion), that’s a four times amount net worth! Prenuptial agreements are meant to protect the heir(s) of the family and it’s considered as a normal part of most wedding ceremonies with multiple asset holdings.

4. A Custom Valentino Wedding Gown

According to Page Six, Nicola Peltz was not using her talented-in-law, Victoria Beckham’s privilege to design her wedding dress. This 27-year-old actress was dressed in a custom-made dress designed by the famous Italian fashion house, Valentino, on her happy day. She had flown twice directly to Rome to finalize her dress.

5. A Cool Guestlist

Talking about parents’ relations, the couple’s wedding seemed to be packed with celebrities and famous figures. A few notable names such as Serena Williams, Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria, Marc Anthony, and many more were spotted in the Peltz grandeur estate. Despite the secrecy and privacy, the wedding was attended by about 600 people.
