Taylor Swift 'Shake It Off' Lawsuit Dismissed By Humorous Judge

(Radio.com) A federal judge not only reportedly dismissed a lawsuit filed against Taylor Swift that claimed her song "Shake It Off" stole the lyrics to one of his tracks, the judge poked fun at the lawsuit in the ruling.

Radio.com reports: United States District Court Judge Gail Standish dismissed the claim, and according to court documents obtained by Jezebel, had a little fun in the process.

"At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court," wrote Standish. "But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them."

"As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space - one that requires Braham to do more than write his name. And, upon consideration of the Court's explanation � Braham may discover that mere pleading BandAids will not fix the bullet holes in his case. At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit." Read more here.

Rick Ross Releases Video For 'Sorry' Featuring Chris Brown

(Radio.com) Rick Ross and Lira Mercer may be kaput as of early November, but the couple appear in Ross' new music video for the slick track "Sorry," off his upcoming album Black Market.

The song is interspersed with scenes of the couple fighting and later making up, when Ross' apology--a big sexy hook sung by an auto-tuned Chris Brown--works.

The video takes a dramatic turn at the end, though, when the mistress returns seeking revenge against Mercer. Watch it here.
