Riff Raff: Suing Spring Breakers For Basing James Franco Character On His "Life"

Last time we discussed  Spring Breakers it was the ridiculous theory that  Spring Breakers  is a spiritual journey  as opposed to just some self-indulgent tale from the mind of Harmony Korine. I did not think it would get more odd than that. I was wrong. In a story that I wish was a joke, just for the sake of humanity, rapper Riff Raff is suing the creators of  Spring Breakers . Why? Well duh, it’s because they based James Franco’s character on him. I totally see it. Actually, I might have maybe gone along with Riff Raff had he not made the mistake so many before him have made, he opened his mouth. In talking with TMZ, Riff Raff tells them that he deserves a lump sum of around $8-10 million because, “It’s like if I have a front yard and you’re planting soil and you’re planting trees and building peaches and houses and selling parking lots on my property… then I deserve to be compensated for some portion of that money.” You don’t plant soil. You certainly don’t build peaches. How big is this front yard that someone is able to go about selling parking lots off of it? Not only that, they’ve built peaches but not the parking lots they are now selling? Your logic is missing some steps here Riff Raff. Why on earth am I trying to apply logic to a statement from a man seeking $10 million from someone who built peaches on his lawn?  Good luck Riff Raff. With any luck Judge Judy will catch this case and we’ll all have entertainment for at least an afternoon. Looking for more ridiculous news? Check out this  The Rooftop trailer !

Cory Monteith: A Pro at Work, A Problem in Canada

It’s no secret that Cory Monteith struggled with substance abuse. He talked to Parade Magazine last year about fearing he would die at the age of 19 and he entered rehab in April . However, sources confirm to TMZ that while the actor may have been dealing with issues in his personal life… they never affected him on the Glee set. The cast of the hit Fox show – most notably girlfriend Lea Michele – were aware of Monteith’s demons and went out of their way to ensure he was clean and sober. The star never appeared under any kind of influence during his years affiliated with the show, an insider says. But it was a different story in Monteith’s native Canada. Friends in Vancouver reportedly fueled Cory’s addiction, partying with the actor and often bringing drugs and alcohol along wherever they went. The negative influence/pull of those home friends allegedly grew stronger in recent weeks, with family members reaching out to Monteith and urging him to come back to California. But Cory simply retreated even further and, tragically, died in a Vancouver hotel room last Saturday. Staff members confirm he had spent the evening with acquainances in the area.
