Rihanna Happy Chris Brown’s Restraining Order Has Expired By Kenrya Rankin The singer eased restriction to make Brown’s life easier.

Rihanna revealed her feelings about Chris Brown’s relaxed probation order in her Rolling Stone cover story. She says she agreed to let the judge ease the order because she didn’t want their personal issues to continue to affect his career.

"It doesn’t mean we’re gonna make up, or even talk again. It just means I didn’t want to object to the judge,” Rihanna said. “We don’t have to talk ever again in my life. I just didn’t want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did was a personal thing—it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can’t perform at awards shows—that definitely made it difficult for him.”

Last month, the judge removed the provision of Brown’s probation that requires him to stay 50 yards away from the pop singer (10 yards during industry events). The revised order will be in affect until August 2014.

$100 Million Lawsuit Against Oprah Dismissed By Michael Arceneaux A judge has ruled against an author who claims that Oprah used material from his b

An author hoping to score $100 million from Oprah Winfrey has had his request rebuffed by a federal judge in Pennsylvania.

Charles Harris sued the talk show host and cable network owner in 2008. In his complaint, Harris says he sent 10 copies of his book, How America Elects Her Presidents, toThe Oprah Winfrey Show after Oprah lent her support to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Harris says despite following up with several inquires he never got a response.

However, on the February 16, 2009 addition of Oprah’s talk show, she allegedly read aloud exact questions included in his book.

The episode – entitled "Oprah's Search For The Smartest and Most Talented Kids" – featured Oprah and one of her guests discussing a number of questions, including which president was the fattest.

Six-year-old graham correctly answered “William Taft” and Harris subsequently filed suit for copyright infringement.

In response, the Hollywood Reporter says lawyers for Oprah argued that had Harris read the public transcript of the show, he would have realized that none of his questions were read aloud with the “arguable exception of one” concerning the heaviest president in history.

U.S. District Court Judge Jan DuBois ruled that even if Oprah did learn the tidbit about Taft from Harris’ book, it is not an infringement.
