Eminem's publishing company Eight Mile Style sues Meta over 'rampant' unauthorized use of rapper's music
Eminem has sued Meta over claims that the social media giant has distributed the rapper's music without the proper license to do so. Eight Mile Style, the company that own's Eminem's most popular songs, has filed a lawsuit in a federal court in Michigan accusing the Mark Zuckerberg company of storing, reproducing and distributing the Detroit rapper's music without proper licensing. The lawsuit is seeking at least $109 million as well as a court order to halt several forms of alleged copyright infringement, the Los Angeles Times reported. According to the complaint, Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, created and stored copies of the music on its servers for their 'billions of users'. The lawsuit claimed that the company's music library holds 243 songs controlled by Eight Mile Style for users to utilize. 'On information and belief, despite their not being licensed, the recordings of the Eight Mile Compositions have been reproduced and synchronized with visual content on Meta's platforms across millions of videos, which have been viewed billions of times,' the complaint said. The lawsuit stated that its main complaint regarded the reproduction and storage of the music in its own music library and encouraging users to utilize the music without licensing. It is alleged that the company knowingly reproduced and distributed the music after a failed negotiation with Eight Mile Style for licensing as part of its 2020 license agreement with Audiam, a digital music royalty collection firm. 'Nonetheless, Meta has reaped the financial benefits of having the Eight Mile Compositions available to its users as part of their online services,' the complaint stated. It furthers that Meta executives 'actively encouraged rampant infringement' in order to attract more advertising profits, with 'advertising accounting for 97.8 percent of Meta's total revenue as of 2023.' While the company began removing some of Eminem's music after the lack of license was brought to their attention, the lawsuit further claimed that karaoke and instrumental versions, as well as some original versions, of the rapper's songs remain on the platform. 'Meta's years-long and ongoing infringement of the Eight Mile Compositions is another case of a trillion [with a T] dollar company exploiting the creative efforts of musical artists for the obscene monetary benefit of its executives and shareholders without a license and without regard to the rights of the owners of the intellectual property,' the complaint stated. Meta, however, said in a statement to the LA Times that it has licenses with thousands of partners globally and 'extensive' global licensing programs for music on its social media platforms. 'Meta had been negotiating in good faith with Eight Mile Style, but rather than continue those discussions, Eight Mile Style chose to sue,' the statement said. The company also previously sued Facebook in 2013 and alleged that the platform used the rapper's song 'Under the Influence' for an advertisement without consent, the LA Times reported. Eight Mile Style is asking for $150,000 per song, per platform, according to the complaint. The company has requested a jury trial.

White Lotus star Walton Goggins reveals why he unfollowed Aimee Lou Wood on Instagram
Walton Goggins has addressed the rumors of a feud with his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood, explaining why he unfollowed her on Instagram. In season three of the acclaimed HBO comedy drama, the Fallout actor played Rick, the love interest of Wood's character Chelsea. In a new joint interview with Variety , Goggins said he unfollowed Wood after filming as a way of seeking closure after the emotional exertion of making the show. He compared the experience to leaving his role on another show, saying: 'When I left Justified , I went up to Tim [Olyphant], and I hugged him and I said, 'I love you, and I hope I see you in rooms for the rest of my life.' I didn't talk to him for almost two years. I've done that with every single thing that I've done.' He added that The White Lotus experience was particularly difficult because it brought back memories of his own travels to Thailand after his first wife, Leanne Knight, died by suicide in 2004. Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood as Rick and Chelsea in 'The White Lotus' (HBO) 'My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place. I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea,' said Goggins, who reportedly started to cry. 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' He continued: 'I needed to just back away from everyone. I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a f*** what you think. This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that's what I needed to do for me to process all of this.' Goggins began following Wood on Instagram again during the interview, saying: 'You know what? I'll follow you right now!'

The actor also addressed a controversial interview he gave to The Times . The article insinuated that Goggins had angrily shut down questions about his supposed feud with Wood. 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,' Goggins told Variety . 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will.' He said he didn't want to discuss his relationship with Wood with The Times without her present, and was also offended by a question that he said compared Goggins' teeth to Wood's and asked if they'd bonded over that. 'What he was insinuating, it was so disgusting. It was so appalling. I was flabbergasted. And I said, 'F*** mate, wow. I think we're done here,'' said Goggins.

Travis Kelce reveals the food that left him with a terrible bathroom issue
Travis Kelce spared no detail when telling Shaquille O'Neal just how badly his experience of the 'One Chip Challenege' in 2018 left him. The Kelce brothers welcomed the four-time NBA legend to their New Heights podcast this week for a lengthy chat on a range of topics, from Taylor Swift to the Super Bowl. And another surprising topic that surfaced was Travis and Shaq's respective attempts to tackle the spiciest foods they can possibly find. Kelce asked O'Neal how 'the One Chip Challenge' compared to eating 'Da Bomb' on Hot Ones, where guests are interviewed over spicy wings. And while guests often go viral when they appear on that show, they were both in agreement that the 'One Chip Challenge' was the hardest. Guests are required to eat a single Carolina Reaper 'Paqui' chip and wait for as long as possible before drinking anything. 'That f***ing, that was the craziest experience I have ever been through,' Kelce, who did the challenge in 2018, said. 'That was the worst experience ever. That ruined me for three days straight. I was s****ing out fire. It was ridiculous.' 'I did too,' O'Neal said, reflecting on his attempt at the challenge live on TNT. 'I drank water (before eating the chip) and the water activated it. My throat started closing.' Kelce even wore a headband for the One Chip Challenge to soak up the sweat and was immediately in discomfort when he ate the chip. 'I've always wanted to breathe fire like a Pokemon,' he joked. 'Burning is an understatement. 'Frankly, I had no f***ing clue what I was getting myself into. Everything is shaking.' Kelce, who was pictured out to dinner with Swift on Wednesday night in Palm Springs, is slowly starting to ramp up his preparations for the 2025 NFL season. He was at the Chiefs' facility for voluntary OTAs last week as he builds up to try and avenge February's emphatic Super Bowl loss to Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs begin the upcoming season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 5. Kelce joked on a recent New Heights show that he didn't want to play in Brazil, telling older brother Jason: 'There's just something about getting close to the equator, I don't want to put on football uniform. I've been in Jacksonville in September, that's f***ing miserable. ''Sao Paulo, is that by the water? I'd rather it be dry than humid, I'm a sweaty guy. If it is humid, I am going to be miserable. But I am going to find a way to get a win. 'I am going to be sweating so bad. I am going to have to ask the equipment guys for a couple jerseys, maybe three pairs of pants. Maybe four cleats, I might just go through a pair.'
