Birdman Sues Jay Z and Tidal For $50 Million Over Lil Wayne’s Cash Money Music

Posted on July 17, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Birdman Sues Tidal For $50 Million Over Wayne’s Music Apparently trying to have Lil Wayne killed wasn’t enough. Birdman is obviously extra salty about Wayne’s split from Cash Money. Now, he’s going after Wayne’s new “Daddy” Jay Z to recoup his losses… Via TMZ : Birdman is going after Jay Z in court, claiming Jay is a failure at music streaming and is illegally using Lil Wayne to save his business. Birdman’s company, Cash Money, is suing Tidal for streaming songs from Lil Wayne’s album ‘FWA’ … suing for $50 MILLION. Cash Money claims it has exclusive rights to Wayne’s music and Tidal is an illegal intermeddler. The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, gets nasty, with Cash Money claiming Jay Z’s fledgling company is now resorting to “a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service.” According to the lawsuit, Tidal has claimed Cash Money does not have a exclusive lock on Wayne … Tidal claims Wayne specifically gave it the right to stream his music, in return for part ownership in the company. Cash Money begs to differ, and the company quotes portions of its contract with Lil Wayne in the lawsuit. The contract specifically says Wayne does not have the power to license his music to anyone else. And get this … Cash Money trashes Wayne’s ‘FWA’ album, saying it got “tepid reviews” and could hurt Cash Money’s attempts to exploit Wayne’s music. SMH! Baby just won’t let Weezy go. Looks like if he can’t have him, no one can…

Bill Maher on Casey Anthony Verdict: Akin to Republicans!

Posted on July 10, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bill Maher is rarely afraid to speak his mind. The comedian lost his ABC program, Politically Incorrect , in 2002 when he said Americans were “cowards” for “lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away,” while the terrorists on board the 9/11 planes were “not cowardly.” Now, the talk show host is creating a scandalous stir once again. On HBO’s Real Time Friday night, Maher compared the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial to “Republican thinking.” His reasoning? Bill Maher Compares Republicans to Casey Anthony Jurors “[Half of American voters] say ‘I’m with the party that cuts all these programs for real people, for the 99 percent. Planned Parenthood, environmental protection, college, health care, infrastructure, but holds the line on private jets.’ Voting for them is as stupid as voting not guilty for the mom who lost her baby for a month and went looking at a wet t-shirt contest… “Yes, Republican base, you are just like that jury. It’s pathetically clear who’s killing the middle class but you keep letting them get away with murder..” Watch the full monologue above and decide: Did Maher go too far?

The rest is here:

Inception Continues Box Office Dominance with $10 Million on Monday

Posted on July 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

OK, so maybe Inception will gross more than Salt . After taking in perfectly solid $62 million over the weekend, the Christopher Nolan film pulled down a whopping $10 million on Monday. To put that in perspective, box office phenom Toy Story 3 grabbed $15 million on its first Monday. So, great. If it keeps up this pace throughout the week Inception could hit $100 million by Friday. The word of mouth is strong with this one, kids. [ Box Office ]
