#WhatsHappening for January 14, 2018

Good Sunday afternoon, kiddios. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

Not a good week for fans of Georgia-based teams, huh? For UGA, it was like Mark Richt never left. The Falcons? Well, that's just how they roll.

The Jaguars sure look good halfway through their game, though. That's the only game I was interested in watching, really.

I spent a good bit of Sunday morning cleaning out the home office, ostensibly so I can get back to using my elliptical and actually have a home office, and big chunk of that time was spent shredding old papers like bank statements of my mom's and things like that. Then I came across my dad's high school diploma from Palo Alto High. And my mom's from Girls High School in Atlanta. And this.

Well, now it appears that the officials must have bets placed on a Steelers-Patriots matchup in the AFC title game. That's the only way I can figure the reasoning behind some of these calls and non-calls so far.

Ticketmaster has settled its lawsuit with Songkick.

The settlement will see Ticketmaster acquiring Songkick's remaining assets and paying company's owners $110 million.

The two-year legal battle- which had not yet gone to trial- between began as anti-trust suit, but eventually included industrial espionage allegations. The case was set to go to trial later this month in Los Angeles federal court.

"We are pleased that we were able to resolve this dispute and avoid protracted and costly legal proceedings, while also acquiring valuable assets," said Live Nation president Joe Berchtold in a statement. 

New Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced her 38 member transition team Friday, and it includes two high-profile entertainers: T.I. and Run The Jewels' Killer Mike.

The two rappers will aid in some of the mayor’s major housing, education and public safety initiatives, as well as advising in the search and recruitment for members of Bottoms' cabinet.

Other members of the team include UPS CEO David Abney and Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastain.

Genius.

Club Nomadic, a traveling nightclub for "VIP experiences" that had been building its venue in a parking lot at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota, has cancelled their shows that had been scheduled to coincide with Super Bowl LII festivities.

Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, who run the club, says that they determined the wouldn't be able to assure events at Club Nomadic would meet the tribe's "standards of quality." Gwen Stefani, Florida Georgia Line, The Chainsmokers, and DJ Kygo were among the acts scheduled to appear, and will instead perform inside Mystic Lake.

Was she facing the rains?

TMZ reports that New Hampshire police have told Taylor Swift has been told to beware an obsessive fan claiming to be her boyfriend who told authorities he needs a gun to "protect" her.

The 59 year old man was was being questioned in a separate case, and told officers that he was Swift’s boyfriend, before showing them messages he claimed to have received from her.

Officers said the man asked how many states he could drive through with an open carry permit, and told them he needed a gun to protect Swift in Africa.

AMC says The Walking Dead will return for a ninth season with a new showrunner. The announcement was made yesterday and comes on the heals of a fan petition demanding that Scott M. Gimple be fired on the heels of last season's plot developments.

The network named writer/co-executive producer Angela Kang showrunner, which should irritate fans just as much- seeing as she was co-writer of the mid-season finale that got them up in arms in the first place. Plus, despite fans' desire for his removal, AMC said Gimple will take the role of Chief Content Officer and oversee the whole title's TV universe, including spin-off Fear The Walking Dead.

The second half of the show's eighth season begins February 25.

Surviving Motörhead members Phil Campbell and Mickey Dee will reunite for "a few select shows" in honor of Lemmy.

Campbell and Dee are all that's left of the legendary metal group after the death of Fast Eddie Clark last week.

Campbell told Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon that he and Dee would be accompanied by a number of special guests. "We want to do something special," he said, and added that details were still being worked out.
