Man charged over theft of ‘Wizard of Oz’ slippers

They're considered by many to be the Holy Grail of movie memorabilia. The Ruby Red Slippers worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.

Back in 2005 the slippers were stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in the actress's hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. In 2018 the shoes were recovered, but there was no arrested.

Even a staggering $1 million dollar reward for information did not help police get answers of who stole the shoes.

Now police have arrested and charge 76 year old Terry Martin, claiming he was the one who shattered the glass case containing the shoes and stole them in the middle of the night.

A Minnesota newspaper contacted Martin who was quoted as saying, "gotta go on trial. I don’t want to talk to you."

Warhol estate loses court case over Prince picture

Andy Warhol's estate lost its U.S. Supreme Court copyright fight with celebrity photographer Lynn Goldsmith on Thursday

If you know Andy Warhol's work you know he basically takes already existing photos of celebrities and screen prints them with color and pattern to create pop sensations. But that's not entirely legal.

The estate of Any Warhold was sued by the photographer who took the photo of musician Prince that Warhol used in one of his best selling works. She was seeking compensation. The same way a song writer gets paid when a musician puts out music.

The court ruled Goldsmith's work was copyrighted.

The case has been watched closely in the art world and entertainment industry for its implications regarding the legal doctrine called fair use, which promotes freedom of expression by allowing the use of copyright-protected works under certain circumstances without the owner's permission.

Everyone doubts Meghan and Harry’s chase story

Yesterday Harry and Meghan were at the Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan where Meghan was getting an award. When they left they claimed they were chased in their cat by paparazzi so aggressively it nearly ended in a catastrophe.

But there are a number of people and outlets questioning that.

Point 1: They said the chase lasted 2 hours, but the security detail said they were at their hotel in 20 mins.

Point 2: No one can move beyond a speed of 20 mph in daytime Manhattan traffic.

Point 3: Photogs from Backgrid, who is somehow on the hook for this, has said they had paps on bicycles and they simply weren't capable of the chaos they were blamed for.

Now lord KNOWS the Paps can be a real shit fest. They are 100% responsible for the death of Harry's mom, Princess Diana. Which is why many are saying the pair "used their Diana card" in their ongoing bid for attention and sympathy.

Man arrested at Harry and Meghan’s mansion

Harry and Meghan have a sprawling mansion in Montecito, California that comes complete with security guards and seems about as safe as a home can get. But nowhere is safe from crazy.

According to TMZ, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office got a call Monday morning around two am. It was security at Meg and Har's place.

Word it 29-year-old Kevin Garcia Valdovinos was held under citizen's arrest by security at the entrance to the property. When cops got there they took him into custody and booked him for misdemeanor stalking. Valdovinos was later released on $2,500 bail.

TMZ also claims "The law under which Valdovinos was arrested indicates whatever he did, he's done before ... which makes sense because he never actually made it on the property. We know he told security something that triggered this arrest, though the sheriff is not saying what that was ... it's now up to prosecutors to decide the next steps."
