Word has it that now that his divorce from Paula Patton has been finalized, Robin Thicke will soon be getting engaged to his new girlfriend, April Love. According to the latest gossip news updates, before all the happens, however, Thicke and Pharrell Williams will be taking Marvin Gaye's family to court once again after being told to pay a combined total of $7.4 million in damages related to their 2013 hit, "Blurred Lines."
While Paula Patton has yet to publicly emerge from her recent divorce with a new man just yet, her ex-husband, Robin Thicke, is said to be ready to walk down the aisle once again.
A source close to Patton recently explained to Radar Online that Robin's wife was not so secretly fuming at the thought of Thicke being so quick to marry someone closer to his son's age than his own (via Fashion & Style):
"Robin and April already live together has done everything she can to weasel her way into his heart, as well as his son's heart, and it worked because they both adore her.
"She is beyond livid that he is even considering marrying this girl.
"Paula cannot stand April and thinks that she is a total gold digger, but she is just keeping her mouth shut for the sake of their son."
Before Robin can really get started on building a new life with April, however, he and Pharrell Williams must first tie up a loose end from Thicke's past.
According to MyNewsLA, their "Blurred Lines" lawyers are taking Marvin Gaye's family back to court, because they ultimately feel that they didn't not receive a fair trial or even a fair verdict:
"Attorneys for Williams and Thicke contend that a second trial is warranted because the jury's finding of copyright infringement, and the damages and profits awarded, are unsupported by evidence and contrary to law.
"The pop stars further allege that evidentiary and legal errors in jury instructions by the judge were 'prejudicial and prevented counter-defendants from receiving a fair trial.'"
Let's hope that whatever happens artists learn that in the future it's probably isn't going to help their public perception to preemptively sue the family of one of America's most venerated music icons, after already drunk-bragging all summer long how about aping their style to write your song
