In January 2013, Cullimore launched a civil action suit again Northampton Town footballer Luke Guttridge, after the latter struck and killed Cullimore's prized Alsatian dog with his converted school bus. In May of the same year the case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum

During his youth, Starr had been a devoted fan of skiffle and blues music, but by the time he joined the Texans in 1958, he had developed a preference for rock and roll.[219] He was also influenced by country artists, including Hank Williams, Buck Owens and Hank Snow, and jazz drummers such as Chico Hamilton and Yusef Lateef, whose compositional style inspired Starr's fluid and energetic drum fills and grooves.

In 2005, he bought the childhood home of Jeffrey Dahmer in Ohio. Dahmer had committed his first murder there before the family moved to Wisconsin. The house, built in 1952, had been featured in the Beacon Journal for its modern style, open layout and floor-to-ceiling windows that provided views of the wooded hillside. Butler said he was drawn to the house by its ‘50s style and big, wooded lot. It was perfect for his collections of Mid Century Modern furniture and British Invasion music equipment. It was also an ideal place for him and his Tin Huey bandmates to play without disturbing the neighbors. Butler couldn’t understand why the house had been on the market for six months and at an attractive price. His real estate agent then called to disclose the home’s infamous history. “I didn’t stop shaking for another 24 hours,” he said,[citation needed] "but the house was and is perfect, and with a great vibe, too."

Except this is the wrong wikipedia thread.
On December 2000, Mattel filed a lawsuit against the Aqua's record label Mattel v. MCA Records, 296 F.3d 894 9th Cir. 2002, claiming that "Barbie Girl" had damaged the reputation of the Barbie brand. Judge Alex Kozinski writing for the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the district court finding the use of Mattel's trademark in "Barbie Girl" fell within the noncommercial use exemption to the Federal Trademark Dilution Act. Judge Kozinski concluded his opinion by writing, "The parties are advised to chill."

Plot retelling of a film that's clearly not wellknown in the west:
Woman cop, Michèle Varin can not forget the death of his son, February 29, despite medication, alcohol and psychotherapy. She spends her evenings doing puzzles, alone with her pet rabbit. Terrified, like every four years by the approach of a new February 29, it must investigate the murder of a woman found hanged in the forest. The starting point of an unforgettable intimate adventure.
