Paras Griffin/WireImage Jill Scott Sued By A Writer Over Allegedly Stealing His Idea Jill Scott has gotten herself into some more trouble this weekend. Mann Frisby, a former writer for the Daily News and Inquisitor , is suing the singer for allegedly stealing an idea he had to make greeting cards. Frisby is claiming that he and Scott were good friends, and that he pitched her the idea of using her song lyrics in greeting cards for Hallmark ten years ago. According to a lawsuit that he filed on Thursday in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, the man says that they mutually agreed to a 50-50 profit split if he was able to secure a deal with the greeting card company. And now, fast forward a decade, Scott announced at the beginning of last year that she was coming out with her own Hallmark greeting card line, which would feature lyrics from twenty of her songs. According to the Associated Press , Scott said that she got the idea from Maya Angelou, and she was following her footsteps by “create[ing] cards I felt represented things a sista would say.” In August, eight months after the launch of the cards, Frisby discovered Scott “had concealed her actions” and had thus proceeded without him, according to his lawsuit. Frisby is claiming that Scott breached her oral agreement with him by “falsely stating” she was putting the deal on hold, and securing the Hallmark deal without telling him. The writer is demanding 50 percent of Scott’s greeting-card profits along with more than $50,000 in damages. What do y’all think: Does Scott’s former friend have any right to money Jill is getting from her own lyrics?
Source: Marvel Studios / Marvel Studios Get ready to storm the box office again because a Black Panther sequel has just been confirmed! With Black Panther being on track to earn $1 billion worldwide, no one should be surprised to find out that Marvel Studios is heading back to Wakanda! Forbes reports that the film has already made $920 million internationally, and it’s been out less than a month. Besides, anyone who has been paying attention to the Marvel Cinematic Universe knows that the studio usually doesn’t do single-movie franchises. In keeping with the trend, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said that it’s already planning a Black Panther sequel during a chat Entertainment Weekly . “Nothing specific to reveal, other than to say we absolutely will do that,” Feige said when asked if there will be a follow-up to Marvel’s latest blockbuster. It usually takes a bit longer to confirm a sequel, but Feige confessed that they have been dreaming up ideas for the sequel for a while. “One of the favorite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on a Part One and talking and dreaming about what we would do in a Part Two,” Feige shared. “There have been plenty of those conversations as we were putting together the first Black Panther. We have ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one.” There’s no word yet on when the next Black Panther movie will hit theaters, but we fully endorse the idea of Marvel continuing to release these during Black History Month.

Kailyn Lowry is obviously done putting up with Chris Lopez’s BS. Lowry and Lopez welcomed a son together back last year, and at first, it looked as though Chris would step up and fulfill his fatherly duties. While he was nowhere to be seen throughout the pregnancy, Lopez made a surprise appearance in the delivery room and even drove Kailyn and baby Lux home once they left the hospital. Despite frequent rumors that Lopez wanted nothing to do with his son, Kail remained hopeful that he would experience a change of heart once the baby arrived. And she was right … for a while. Unfortunately, it seems that Chris’ flood of fatherly feelings was short-lived. According to Kailyn, Lopez is a deadbeat dad these days and has little to do with the life of his infant son. But as you can see, that doesn’t stop him from posturing on Instagram. Lopez posted the above photo of himself with Lux earlier this week. So, it seems he does spend some time with the boy – but according to Kail, it’s not nearly enough. “Don’t be an Instagram parent,” Lowry tweeted in response to Lopez’s pic. Not surprisingly, Chris took issue with her comment, and he immediately fired back: “Buuuut a person who literally made a living off of putting their kids on tv and social media but hey who am I to talk,” he replied. “Honestly not worth my time lol,” he continued, later adding: “I might have to violate someone today.” Needless to say, Lopez-Lowry relations aren’t exactly going smoothly these days. And sadly, poor Lux is caught in the middle. Obviously, at this point, Kail has proven herself a committed parent, so we’re inclined to side with her in a dispute like this one. Still, hammering her baby’s father for the benefit of her millions of social media followers isn’t a great look. Worse, all of this is now a matter of public record. Even if Kail deletes the tweet, she’s famous to the point that – once they’re old enough – her kids will likely have no trouble finding an archive of everything she said online. And that’ll likely lead to lots of awkward conversations about their fathers. Watch Teen Mom 2 online for more from the tumultuous love life of Ms. Lowry.

Oh dear. Lamar Odom is reportedly back at it again, making the rounds and indulging himself in Las Vegas. What happens in Vegas does not, in fact, stay there, and multiple witnesses are describing exactly what they saw go down. Is he spiraling out of control again? The world remembers how, just a few years ago, Lamar Odom suffered a horrifying medical crisis that many feared would claim his life. He was rushed from the Vegas brothel to the hospital. By mistake, Khloe was initially told that he had died . The situation was so dire that Khloe asked a judge to bring their divorce to a grinding halt so that she could make any medical decisions necessary. And so that she could supervise his recovery — which she eventually did, practically nursing him back to health. Between that and major health scares like Lamar’s collapse at a night club late last year, you’d think that he’d be being careful. Unfortunately, it sounds like he’s putting himself at risk again. RadarOnline reports that, per multiple eyewitnesses who spilled everything to them, Lamar Odom is back in Vegas . And it doesn’t sound like a social visit. They report that Lamar returned to Vegas for gambling last week, and that his indulgence lasted multiple days and spanned two different casinos. One was the Wynn Hotel and the other was SLS. And they describe the reports of eyewitnesses. The first, who saw him on March 4th, describes spotting him nearby. “He was right at the table next to me gambling.” They went on, saying how casually they were able to engage with him. “He was very easy to approach.” Another who saw him on March 5th. “I was kind of surprised to see him in Vegas after the events of his last foray out there that nearly cost him his life.” This isn’t the first time that Khloe’s ex has been spotted tempting fate. Reportedly, Lamar was drinking on New Year’s . Drinking alcohol can be fun, but surely it’s not worth risking your life. But it is his life to throw away. Recently, he appeared to throw shade at Khloe over her pregnancy. That did not go over well, and prompted Kim Kardashian to slam Lamar by reminding him of his brush with death in Vegas. One might wonder if Lamar is in Vegas purely to defy the Kardashians. But it’s important to note that Lamar was, per the reports, just gambling. The former NBA player wasn’t accused of drinking or anything else here. And while Lamar did have a health crisis in Vegas, it was not because he was gambling. It’s possible that some fans are overreacting because they worry about his health. But … someone has to worry about his health, right? And since Khloe Kardashian is happily with Tristan Thompson and eagerly expecting the birth of their daughter and being a happy family together, we’d say that she has her hands a little too full. She can’t babysit Lamar anymore. He needs to look after himself. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy, Love, Loss … and Redemption?!
Think Arie Luyendyk Jr. is having a series of bad days at the moment? He very clearly is. That’s what happens after you break your fiancee’s heart on national television and then sound like an insensitive jerk on TV when talking about it… … and then propose to ANOTHER woman in front of millions of people. But it turns out that Arie may have had worst days in his past; at least one in particular. Did you know the controversial Bachelor was once arrested?!? This isn’t brand new information. It’s been out there for years, ever since Arie was a contestant on The Bachelor. But it’s maybe worth revisiting now that Luyendyk is very much back in the news. In October of 2008, Luyendyk was arrested in for driving with a suspended license in Scottsdale, Arizona. According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, he was also ticketed for multiple traffic violations, including speeding, failure to obey a traffic signal, unsafe lane changing and for failing to provide proof of insurance. He was booked and posed for a mug shot and everything: Arie didn’t serve any jail time, but this mark is on his permanent record. The former racecar driver probably doesn’t want us bringing it up again in public. But c probably didn’t want him to bring ABC cameras along when he dumped her, so, yeah… whatever. It’s hard to have a lot of sympathy for the guy. Said Arie to Entertainment Tonight, regarding why he (temporarily) destroyed Becca’s soul in such a manner: “I just wanted there to be no questions on that breakup. “I know that it’s a very public relationship, and I think that doing that on camera would just let everyone know that that decision was solely mine, and it told the story of how I ended up here, with her.” Ah, right, he did it for Becca. Arie then had the gall, in this same interview, to complain that he , too, was a victim! “The way the breakup was shown, I think, in its unedited version, was a little unfair to me,” he added. “But what can you do? Wait… WHAT?!? The nerve of this guy! It was unfair to not edit an interview?!? To simply show exactly what was said on both sides?!? Sheesh. In the end, Arie says he’s happy to be engaged to Lauren Burnham and Becca will go find a better guy as The Bachelorette. So everyone basically wins here. But Arie still sucks.
