So maybe some but not others were surprised by the news that the pair is embroiled in a legal battle, one that led Hall to obtain a temporary restraining order against his now-former music partner. A judge has sealed a lawsuit that Hall filed last week in Nashville, where Oates lives, according to multiple news outlets. So little is known about the dispute -- other than maybe that it's gone too far (but you know it don't matter anyway). Penn…

Cosby Among Celebs Denied Prison Release For Coronavirus, Others More Fortunate
COVID-19 concerns may have freed some lesser-known convicts but not Bill Cosby, Bernie Madoff or R. Kelly. Lawyers for Cosby appeared to have some help earlier this month when Pennsylvania Gov.
