There was a big traffic backup in Virginia on Monday. It happened near the intersection of Prince William Parkway and Sudley Manor Drive in Manassas--and it was all due to a snake. The four-foot reptile had apparently taken up residence inside a breaker box that controls the traffic signals. While it was squirming aroudn in there, it flipped a switch that shut them off. Animal Control removed the snake and set it free in a more suitable habitat.

Ed Sheeran is blasting what he calls "so-called experts of music" after he was found not liable in a music copyright infringement lawsuit. Sheeran said the plaintiffs' music expert left out key components of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" and his 2014 hit "Thinking Out Loud" when trying to make their case. Sheeran had earlier threatened to end his music career if he lost the case.

The drummer for Def Leppard is sharing a health update after being attacked outside of a Fort Lauderdale hotel in March. Rick Allen took to Instagram this week to share a picture of himself smiling with a caption thanking fans for their love and support. He said he is still recovering and getting his mind and body ready for the upcoming Def Leppard tour, which begins later this month. Allen was rushed by a man outside the Four Seasons hotel and fell to the ground hurting his head. But, let's remember, this is a guy who returned to drumming after losing his arm in a car crash.
