PATRICIA CORNWELL: Novelist Patricia Cornwell says she won in a federal court in Boston a $50.9 million judgment against her former accounting and business management firm.

Following a seven-week trial, a jury found the firm of Anchin, Block & Anchin acted negligently and in breach of its fiduciary duties in managing the financial affairs of Cornwell and her partner, McLean Hospital neuroscientist Dr. Staci Gruber.

"We are deeply gratified by this victory," Cornwell said in a statement. "This case was about a lot more than financial mismanagement. It is our belief that Anchin, Block & Anchin not only took advantage of us, they also tried to damage our reputations and put us in legal jeopardy."

The defendants told The Boston Globe they would explore an appeal of the verdict.

Cornwell is famous for writing the blockbuster Kay Scarpetta murder mysteries.

CLIVE DAVIS: U.S. music mogul Clive Davis says in his memoir he has been in a romantic relationship with a man for seven years, confirming for the first time he is bisexual.

Davis, 80, was the founder of Arista and J Records and now serves as chief creative officer of Sony Music Entertainment.

"The Soundtrack of My Life," a memoir he wrote with Anthony De Curtis, was published this week by Simon & Schuster. In it, Davis talks about his career and working with artists like Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, Bruce Springsteen, Simon and Garfunkel, Janis Joplin, Carlos Santana, the Grateful Dead, Patti Smith, the Foo Fighters, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson, EW.com said.

The twice-married executive also reveals how he began dating men about three decades ago when a man approached him at Studio 54 in New York.

"Was I nervous?" EW.com said Davis wrote. "Absolutely. Did the heavens open up? No. But it was satisfying."

Davis said he considers himself bisexual, not gay, even though he has been in "a strong monogamous relationship" with a man for seven years.

"Do I feel I could have been similarly attracted to a woman? The answer is yes," he said.

EW.com didn't report the name of Davis' romantic partner.
