 Gaye's children filed an injunction in court Tuesday to prevent the copying, distributing and performing of the hit song featuring Pharrell, Robin Thicke and T.I. 
 
 Pharrell and Thicke were ordered to pay nearly $7.4 million to three of Gaye's children after a jury determined last week that the performers copied elements of the R&B icon's 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up." 
 
 Gaye's family also sought Tuesday to amend the verdict to include rapper T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., as well as labels Universal Music, Interscope Records and Star Trak Entertainment. 
 
 The injunction against "Blurred Lines" could give Gaye's family leverage to negotiate for royalties and other concessions, such as songwriting credits. 
 
 "With the digital age upon us, the threat of greater infringement looms for every artist," the family said in a statement released Wednesday. "It is our wish that our dad's legacy, and all great music, past, present, and future, be enjoyed and protected, with the knowledge that adhering to copyright standards assures our musical treasures will always be valued." 
 
 "Blurred Lines" was the biggest hit of 2013. It sold more than 7 million tracks in the United States, topped the pop charts for months and earned two Grammy Award nominations. ||||| Change the track! Lovesick singer Robin Thicke made yet another emotionally charged apology to his wife Paula Patton, onstage at the BET Awards on Sunday, June 29.

 Looking tired and puffy eyed, the heartbroken crooner continued his very public reconciliation attempt, announcing to the crowd at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre, "Good evening, my name is Robin Thicke, I’d like to dedicate this song to my wife, and say, 'I miss you, and I’m sorry.' This is called 'Forever Love.'" 
 
 The 37-year-old singer, who split from wife Patton, 38, in February after nine years of marriage, sat at a grand piano, appearing visibly moved and at times pausing the song to wipe his nose after a sniffle. "Forever Love," a song from his new album Paula, left fans in no doubt as to his feelings.

 “If you ever doubt it now, baby, I will be there picking you up," he sang. "You can lean on me any time, baby, for anything you want and need. Yeah, see, I don’t need any reason, memory, or a season. Every day I will believe that you and I are meant to be. You’re my forever love.” 
 
 An audience member says the star's emotional state was the talk of the show. "Robin appeared to be crying during and after his performance," the observer told Us Weekly.

 After the performance, which saw illuminated graphics of Paula's name swirl in the background, host Chris Rock lightened the mood with a quip about the singer's endless apology performances. "He’s singing like she don’t know him," the comedian joked. "I miss the other song, the one that sounded like Marvin Gaye.” (A source told Us the joke was "supposed to be much meaner and it was toned down.”) 
 
 For her part, Patton has not responded to any of Thicke's very public declarations of love. The actress even danced to her former partner’s hit song "Blurred Lines" at a pre-Oscars party in March without appearing to feel awkward.

 He wants to twerk it out! Robin Thicke has made it clear that he's not ready to throw in the towel on his marriage just yet. The R&B; crooner stepped out for the first time since announcing his split from Paula Patton in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, Feb. 27 and said he wants his estranged wife back.

 "You know, just trying to get her back man," Thicke, 36, told TMZ cameras at a D.C. airport on Thursday. Bundled up in a peacoat, the "Blurred Lines" entertainer was all smiles while walking to his car outside. Whether he was wearing his wedding band is unknown, as he kept his hands hidden in his pockets during the duration of the quick chat. (On Feb. 26, actress Patton, 38, stepped out for the first time post-split without her ring in L.A.) 
 
 As previously reported, the high school sweethearts -- who are parents to 3-year-old son Julian -- announced their separation in a joint statement on Feb. 24. "Robin wanted to save their marriage, but it was Paula's choice and she ended it," an insider told Us of the twosome. "Robin does not want this divorce."

 "Robin was not blindsided -- he knew this was coming out," another source added. "But he was committed to saving their marriage. He didn't want this." 
 
 Thicke may have been vocal about his hope for reconciliation, but the singer kept tight-lipped when a cameraman asked if Miley Cyrus played a part in the split. On Feb. 25, Us exclusively reported that Thicke's VMAs performance with the "Wrecking Ball" songstress tested the couple's marriage.

 "The Miley Cyrus fiasco was a big test of their relationship," an insider told Us of Thicke and the Baggage Claim star. "He asked her to help him out as a friend and a wife, and defend him and the performance. He begged her to speak out for him and be there for him." 
 
 "She agreed to be the good wife after he begged and pleaded," the source further explained. "Then he asked her to stick with him through awards season, and she agreed. She attended the Grammys with him as a favor."
– Paula Patton and Robin Thicke are another step closer to divorce. The actress was granted a divorce Tuesday from the "Blurred Lines" singer in Los Angeles. Their legal split will go into effect April 14. The 39-year-old actress and 38-year-old singer, who have a 4-year-old son, announced they were separating last year after nine years of marriage. Thicke promoted his latest album, the not-so-subtly-titled Paula, last summer with several public appearances accompanied by reconciliation pleas that apparently did not work. In more bad news for Thicke, Marvin Gaye's children filed an injunction in court Tuesday to prevent the copying, distributing, and performing of "Blurred Lines" after a jury determined last week that Thicke and his fellow performers on the song copied elements of the R&B icon's 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up." The injunction against "Blurred Lines" could give Gaye's family leverage to negotiate for royalties and other concessions, such as songwriting credits.
