The Vandals Secure Legal Victory Over Artwork Dispute Posted: 19 Apr 2011 02:30 PM PDT Filed under: News Tim Mosenfelder, Getty Images Punk band the Vandals have apparently secured a preliminary victory against Variety Magazine as part of a long-running dispute. The row centres over their cover from the 2004 album 'Hollywood Potato Chip,' on which the typography parodied the Variety logo, resulting in a cease and desist order from the magazine, reports the LA Times. The dispute was originally settled when the band re-designed the lettering on the cover. But in April 2010, Variety sued the band again when they found the original cover resurface on the internet. Fortunately, Vandals bassist Joe Escalante also doubles as a qualified lawyer, and he won't go down without a fight. The band have just won the first round of legal proceedings by getting the case transferred from Delaware to the supposedly "more convenient" jurisdiction of Los Angeles, where the band have a better chance of recovering their legal fees for an abridgement of free speech.

'Bachelor' Breakup: Emily and Brad Reportedly Split Posted: 19 Apr 2011 11:32 AM PDT "Bachelor" lovebirds Brad Womack and Emily Maynard have reportedly called it quits, Life & Style.com reports. Reality strikes again. According to sources, the relationship fell apart in recent days. "Emily told Brad that she can't picture them getting married," an insider revealed to Life & Style. "Brad's not acting like a fiancé, and she knows that he's not going to change. Emily knows in her heart of hearts that the relationship is finished." "Emily was very close to moving with her daughter, Ricki, to Austin, Texas, just weeks ago, but that's not true anymore," a second source said. One of the reasons cited was Emily's fear Brad was cheating on her. "Brad seemed very complacent all of a sudden," said the insider. "He did everything he could to woo and charm Emily on the show, and then it just slowed. She felt like, 'If he's not wanting to see her, who is he with?'" The two admitted their relationship has been troubled since Brad proposed to Emily on "The Bachelor" finale in March, but have been publicly supporting their engagement.
