MUSIC ROUNDUP: Robin Thicke Loses 'Blurred Lines' Case & More

There were no blurred lines when a jury determined today that Robin Thicke ripped off Marvin Gaye.

According to TMZ.com, it was determined that Robin’s hit “Blurred Lines” heavily infringed on Marvin’s #1 classic “Got To Give It Up.”

Now, Robin and the track’s producer Pharrell Williams must pay Marvin’s family $7.3 million. T.I., on the other hand, was not found to be responsible for the infringement since he only rapped on the song.

We hope Robin saved up some of the coins he got from the song because that bill is no joke.

No one has to question whether Jussie Smollett’s talent and stage presence after his appearance on “Ellen” this week! The “Empire” star, who confirmed chatter about his sexuality, let daytime TV audiences know that his amazing voice is the real deal.

When Jussie sauntered up to the mic, he belted out “Good Enough” from the FOX drama’s soundtrack, and he brought the house down. This is just a taste of things to come from Jussie, who just signed a deal with Columbia Records. There’s no word on when his debut album will hit the market, but we expect that his work will also come along with a tour.

Jordin Sparks Sings About Her Selfie Game

Jordin Sparks has just served up an anthem for every girl doing it for the ‘Gram in “Double Tap.” The singer, who’s image is usually super-sweet, got a little nasty with it as she snapped and endless stream of selfies and videos and posted it all to Instagram. And if no one else was paying attention to her pics, then she knows she’s got at least one lurker loving every peek into her life—even if he doesn’t double tap it. That’s ok, though, she still knows he’s feeling her.

“For me in the song, the girl is talking to the guy saying, ‘I know you stalk my page. I know you look at the photos. I know that you don’t like them. I bet you’re not going to like that picture, but I know you like me.”
