Lana Del Ray has been granted a temporary restraining order against a man she claims stole her car earlier this year. The Video Games singer had requested the court order to protect herself against the man, named Eric Everardo, who Lana alleges visited her home on two occasions, one time as recently as this month. A Los Angeles judge granted the artist the restraining order and a court hearing is due to take place in August.
Drake has responded to recent backlash he faced regarding his usage of private jets. The Started From the Bottom hitmaker was included in a tweet from Celebrity Jets, claiming his aircraft had taken a 14-minunte flight from Toronto to Hamilton, Ontario. The tweet also explained that the short trip had used 4 tonnes of CO2 emissions and over 1000kg of jet fuel. However, Drizzy then left a comment on the Instagram account for Toronto News setting the record straight, stating the short flights were the pilots moving the jets from airport to airport, adding that "nobody" was taking the flight.
