Settlement

    POP star Justin Bieber has reached a settlement with a photographer who claimed he was assaulted by the singer’s bodyguard outside a South Florida recording studio.

    Attorney Mark DiCowden confirmed the settlement Friday between his client, photographer Jeffrey Binion, and Bieber. DiCowden said terms of the agreement are confidential. Binion filed the lawsuit in 2013 seeking unspecified damages. The photographer said he was roughed up while shooting pictures from a sidewalk outside the studio.

    Delay

    THE knee injury suffered by Christian Bale is serious enough that Fox will postpone the John D. MacDonald novel adaptation “The Deep Blue Goodbye” until its director, James Mangold, completes “Wolverine 3” with Hugh Jackman. Bale suffered torn knee ligaments in an accident at his home.

    He has been filming “The Big Short” with Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt and Steve Carell in New Orleans, but they play stockbrokers and it’s not physically demanding. He plays a salvage hunter in the Fox film.

    Awards

    TAYLOR SWIFT has a few losses to shake off following Saturday’s 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards.

    The pop megastar was victorious in the best song to dance to category with “Shake It Off,” but she lost to Ariana Grande in three categories: best female artist, song of the year and most talked-about artist.

    Another big winner at the ceremony was rising star Becky G, who took home two awards. Ed Sheeran was named best male artist, and Fifth Harmony topped One Direction for best music group.
