Swift‚ Fox feud at peace

AGENCIES
LONDON: Taylor Swift plays down her rivalry with Michaej J Fox after the actor seemingly told her to stay away from his son Sam.

Swift has taken to Twitter to reveal that Fox has reached out, and she insists the pair “are good.’’

Their feud followed Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s skit at the Golden Globes last week when they warned the I Knew You Were Trouble hit maker away from Fox’s son Sam.

The Back To The Future star was asked about the singer in an interview with Vulture.com, and whether he’d allow her to date his son.

Fox, 51, said, “No. No ... Just back off ... I don’t keep up with it all. But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she’s out with, right? What a way to build a career.’’

He implied his son would become a subject of such a track, jokingly suggesting ‘Sam, You Piece of S**t’ as a potential title.

Although it seemed the actor slammed her, Swift’s now taken to Twitter to say they have no issue.

She wrote, “Hey everybody, Michael J Fox got in touch with me today and we are good. Thank you for having my back.’’ However, his son cheekily retweeted and added, “Hope he gave her my # [number].’’

Gaga's Judas‚ a rip off?

NEW YORK: Lady Gaga’s plagiarism trial over her hit track Judas is to be held in her hometown of Manhattan, it has been revealed.

Though the case has been proceeding largely under the radar in Chicago, Bill Niro, the plaintiff’s lawyer, told the New York Post that he’ll be in the city next week deposing experts who are confident that Gaga’s song is a rip-off of a song by his client, Rebecca Francescatti.

“The case is proceeding along a schedule that is a little slow, but deliberate,” Niro said.

He claims that they have a strong case and can prove that there are segments of Francescatti’s music and lyrics that have found their way into the song Judas.
