Boris Becker56, ex-tennis professional, has against Oliver Pocher, 45, comedian, won. Not in tennis, but in court in the second instance. The question was whether the three-time Wimbledon winner in 2020 was disparaged in the RTL program “Pocher – dangerously honest”. Pocher launched a call for donations under the slogan “Make Boris rich again”. Becker also received the three-digit euro amount – but without knowing about it. The money was hidden in a supposed fashion award that was given to the former prisoner on the show. The Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court has now decided that the video can no longer be shown and must be deleted from the internet, including on Pocher’s own websites or social media channels.

Kevin Bacon, 65, actor, knows all about getting off. On The Kelly Clarkson Show, he recounted his search for a $150 apartment in New York in 1976. “I don’t know how I came up with that number, but I decided to do it.” After sleeping on his sister’s couch for about four months, he came across an advertisement for “accommodation for artists, actors and musicians.” “And I thought, well, that sounds good.” In fact, he ended up in “a flophouse.” “I guess there were some artists there, but not many,” Bacon said.
