POLYKROTES DIKES
The actors Kevin Spacey and Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Ed Sheeran they are among the famous artists who sat in the defendant’s dock this year. Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of all the charges he was facing at his trial in London. The artist was on trial for sexual assaults against four men. Gwyneth Paltrow was also acquitted of a 2016 skiing accident involving her accuser, a 76-year-old retired optician.
A court has ruled in favor of Ed Sheeran regarding the lawsuit against the songwriter over the copyright of his song “Thinking Out Loud”. The plaintiff had alleged that Ed Sheeran’s song infringed the copyright of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get it On.” The verdict came six years after the heirs of Ed Townsend – who co-wrote the song in 1973 with Gaye – filed a lawsuit against Sheeran, claiming the two tracks have “striking similarities”.
Additionally, New Mexico prosecutors said they plan to re-charge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal injury of then-42-year-old cinematographer Halina Hutchins on the set of “Rust” two years ago.

CONCERT PHENOMENA
The global star Taylor Swift spent 3.5 hours on stage, without a break – even the outfit changes he made sure to do mostly on stage – playing around 44 pieces, divided into Eras (eras, hence the tour’s title), implying that each one of the 9 albums presented left an era. She wasn’t deterred by the weather – in Foxboro, Massachusetts, while she was on stage, she was caught in a severe thunderstorm, flooding her piano and soaking her to the bone. Her legendary tour was even made into a movie, grossing $126 million worldwide in its first weekend in theaters.
