Speaker 1 (00:02):
The Sure Report. Taylor Swift is being sued over Life
of a Showgirl by an actual showgirl. Swift's being sued
for trademark infringement, false designation, and unfair competition over the
title of her last album last year is the Life
of a Showgirl The Loss of your face, Well, the

(00:22):
loss of Showgirls? Oh yes, yes. The lawsuit's been filed
by Marren Wade, a former Vegas showgirl who owns the
trademark to her show's title Confessions of a Showgirl. She
is seeking unspecified damages in a court order that would
bar Taylor from continuing to use the album title. Her
lawyer told the court a solo performer who spent twelve

(00:43):
years building a brand shouldn't have to watch it disappear
because someone bigger came along. Oh come on, she hasn't
got much of a case. You don't really get to
stay claimed to the word show girl.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
There's lots of them, and who's going to have the
bigger contingent of lawyers?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Well I did? I mean, well, obviously Taylor, but even
without it, I don't think this girl has really a
leg to stay. Sometimes you cannot win in Hollywood actress
to Coda. Johnson has just shared an audition experience where
she missed out on a role because she was too polite.
She'd been raised too well. Apparently, one man's polite is

(01:17):
another man's pampus.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I had an audition once and I went into the
room and I shook everyone's hand and introduced myself, and
then I did the scene and I left. And the
feedback I got was that because I had gone and
introduced myself and shook everyone's hand, that I was like pompus,
that I was schmoozing and I was full of myself.

(01:38):
And I was like, oh what. I didn't get the
job because they said that I was like being khacky,
But I just was. I just had.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Manners nowhere that's not in Hollywood anyway. Johnson's currently promoting
her new comedy Splitsville, which is set for release in August.
Look one just for the summer house fans this morning,
tune out Rush. Amanda Batula and Wes Wilson have just
released a shock statement confessing the rumors are true. They

(02:06):
are in fact in a relationship now considering she just
split from hubby Carl Cook and he used to see Sierra.
This is this Year's scandaval. If you know, you know.
If you don't, this story's not for you. Don't worry
about it anyway. Now, you gotta love it when life
imitates ar at the pole Lease, a police department in
California is equipping patrol cars with the grappler.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
The grappler is a Batman inspired device designed to stop
fleeing drivers. It's been created by a guy named Leonard Stock.
He was inspired to create the grappler after witnessing innocent
bystanders getting hurt in police chases on reality TV shows.
So the grappler attaches to the front of a police
vehicle and deploys a net to wrap around a suspects tire,

(02:55):
allowing the patrol car to slow down and bring the
suspects vehicle to a stop. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department
and the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office in North California
have adopted the grappler, with officers praising it as a
game changer that can prevent pursuits and save lives. Holy
pit maneuver, Batman, what's next?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Batman? Shark repellent spright?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yes, yes, yes, indeed it's on the way, walking sideways,
up a wall. It's just all on
