Celebrity Status – Billie Eilish, New Movies, And SNL With Matt And Noah

For Friday, May 8th:

Taylor Swift‘s attorneys are blasting that ‘Showgirl’ trademark infringement lawsuit as ‘absurd’. The singer’s legal team alleges that Maren Flagg, who performs her show called ‘Confessions of a Showgirl’, is instead attempting to use Swift’s name — and her similar album title, ‘Life of a Showgirl’ — to promote her brand. Swift’s team noted that Flagg hasn’t maintained her website and hasn’t updated her blog since 2021, and believe it’s unlikely someone would mistake Taylor’s record for Flagg’s work.

Billie Eilish hit the red carpet with Nat Wolff to promote her concert film ‘Billie Eilish Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour’, live in 3D. As part of movie’s Friday release, pop-up shops will open in Toronto and other cities worldwide to sell some merch

Also at the movies, ‘Mortal Kombat II’ kicks its way into theaters this weekend. Plus, Sally Field and Lewis Pullman star in “Remarkably Bright Creatures” which is being released only on Netflix today. Also coming to Netflix, Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively star in a drawn-out lawsuit… just kidding, it’s the movie ‘It Ends With Us,’ which started the lawsuit.

Meanwhile, Blake Lively’s lawyers shared a statement on Thursday with Entertainment Weekly, calling the settlement on May 4th a “resounding victory.” “By agreeing to this settlement, and waiving their right to appeal, Justin Baldoni and every individual defendant now face personal liability for abusing the legal system to silence and intimidate Ms. Lively.”

And tomorrow night Matt Damon hosts “SNL” with musical guest Noah Kahan.
