One of Nicki Minaj’s biggest hit songs, “Starships,” may be a rip off from someone else’s music, at least according to this new allegation made public. Nicki Minaj: Starships a Ripoff? EDM star Clive Tanaka claims it’s identical to a song he released a year before the rapper’s mega-hit … and now he’s suing her over it in federal court. Tanaka filed suit in Chicago this week against Nicki, three writers, and the producer, claiming copyright infringement on his 2011 tune, “Neu Chicago.” Tanaka went so far as to edit both songs on top of each other, and posted the end result. There are some similarities, but these things are always hard to prove. Also unclear is what took him so long to sue in the first place. The song was a hit two years ago, and coming forward now just makes him look desperate. So far, Gucci Mane has yet to weigh in on Twitter, but give it time.
Jenelle Evans and estranged husband Courtland Rogers continue to air their grievances / marital problems on social media, and it’s getting uglier by the minute. The pregnant MTV star tweeted of a possible miscarriage and of plans to divorce Courtland yesterday, then filed assault charges against her husband of 51 days. She’s also accused Rogers (left) of cheating on her – a charge that he’s now turning back around on the Teen Mom 2 mess, who she says is boning Gary Head. Head (right), Evans’ previous paramour, met up with her last night. “OMG please somebody tell me she did not go see Gary the first day we are apart! Please be fake!! Did she really do that,” Rogers tweeted upon hearing about this. “Everybody tell Jenelle thank you, she just committed adultery!” Gary Head , who was also accused of assaulting Jenelle Evans during their relationship, denies it, saying, “Just because I’m with my ex does not mean I’m f–king her.” “I’m being a friend. Not a man whore.” For his part, Courtland Rogers, 27, says he “never cheated” on his spouse at ANY point and also adamantly maintains that he never hit Evans, 21. “No I did not hit Jenelle I swear to God! She makes all that s–t up and then runs to Gary’s house? Really? Now I have, like, four charges of assault on a female? F–k that s–t.” It’s been an eventful week. The two got into an epic fight Sunday; Evans was hospitalized for a possible miscarriage Tuesday, accusing Rogers of abandoning her during the crisis. After announcing she wanted to get a divorce “ASAP,” she then accused Courtland Rogers of being unfaithful … and later of abusing her and their unborn child. Just last week, the couple confirmed Jenelle is seven weeks pregnant. Don’t look for them to patch things up like she often does, either. Her live Tweeting of the fallout would indicate that Rogers’ stock is only plummeting further in her mind. Expect to hear about a Jenelle Evans divorce sooner rather than later.
It’s official: The New Orleans Hornets are now the New Orleans Pelicans. No, really! The team announced today that it will change monikers for the 2013-2014 season, unveiling the following colors and logo to go along with it. The name has an environmental connection for the team and region, as the brown pelican was taken off the endangered species list in 2009. It is Louisiana’s state bird. “We’re raising an entire generation to be very mindful to what happened to our coastal restoration,” said Rita Benson LeBlanc, the vice chairman of the board for the Hornets and the Saints. “Give it time, and I think everyone will be inspired (by the name change). It’s for a greater purpose.” What do you think of the Pelicans as a name? Love it! Hate it! Haha, is that real?!? View Poll »
Heidi Montag is doing what she is meant to be doing…or at least dabbling with what she is meant to dabble in….as a bitch who bought herself G-Cup tits with a face of a ragged retired pornstar…there was really only one direction for her career to take…and that was to the pole….. I figured there woulda been more college party hosting, and maybe other events that pay her to appear…but she fell off fast… Now, Crazy Horse is paying her 25,000 dollars to appear, which is more than she deserves, I woulda expected her to get 50 bucks and the door….or some shit..but I guess she’s still high enough profile…but the only issue is she’s not getting naked….but she will…give it time…she’s not even 30 yet…but already rock bottom…so much to come like overdose and porn….and I’m pretty ready for it.
More than a million Google+ users are keeping tabs on Britney Spears, who continues to be one of the most popular human beings on social networks. She is currently the first and only person to crack seven figures . In reaching the milestone, Spears beat Google CEO Larry Page and rapper / spiritual adviser (seriously, his Google Plus bio says that) Snoop Dogg. Not even six months old, Google Plus is already making a name for itself, although we’re guessing Jason Alexander is not one of the 1,078,900 following her there. Those followers pale in comparison to her 15.7 million Facebook fans and 11.9 million Twitter followers – two million of whom started following her since October. Oh well, give it time, Google Plus. We have faith. NOTE : Connect with THG on Google+ today!
As we know, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have split. Whether it was mutual or one-sided depends on what celebrity gossip you read that day. One common rumor is that his lovely Friends With Benefits co-star Mila Kunis was somehow involved. The rationale behind that assumption is this: It’s Mila Kunis. She is gorgeous. The movie is called Friends With Benefits . While reps for Timberlake, Kunis and Biel (whose friends deny she is devastated by the split ) are not commenting, we doubt there’s anything to it. That doesn’t mean he’s not interested in her now, however. “Justin is very interested in Mila,” a source close to the actress, also newly single, tells E! “They’ve been flirting, but so far nothing has happened.” Operative words from this Mila source: SO FAR. Give it time. Come on. Why fight it, right? Just look at the photo above and note the obvious chemistry and good genes. We’ve got to get these two together. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
I’m not sure what these pictures are all about, I’ve never really understood fashion photography, but they feature Lindsay Lohan gyrating on the floor in a sexy little outfit so I’m keeping them. Really, how often are we going to get to see her moving around on the floor like a stripper? I know, give it time and we’ll see it when she’s an actual stripper, but I can’t wait that long. Anyhow, these are for something called a 6126 Lookbook Fall 2010 . Anyone? Just a heads up guys, if you know what the hell that is you might want to think about how you’re going to come out to your family and friends. Just a thought.
Levi Johnston has finally coughed up the full back child support payments he owes to his baby mama and former fake fiancee, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it. The aspiring actor and Playgirl model wrote Bristol Palin a check for $21,561.12 – the full amount that an Alaska judge ordered Levi to pay – and it actually cleared. Levi is still ordered to pay $1,750 a month in child support payments, which he’s not happy about, and is also on the hook for an additional $3,500 in back support. The 19-year-old will try to comply with the judge’s order, he’s not happy about having to pay so much, his lawyer Rex Butler said, arguing that the sum is just unfair. Levi Johnston is teaming up with Kathy Griffin to pay the bills . “Levi promptly paid the full amount that the court ordered … he does not agree with the amount and will seek reconsideration of the court’s order,” Butler said Monday. “If he prevails, he will receive a credit … he will obviously work hard to generate the income, but he’d rather pay and fight than be in contempt of the court’s order.” Levi is already working to try and pay what he owes, no matter what it takes. He recently shot an episode of Kathy Griffin’s TV show My Life On The D List in Alaska. He’s also rumored for a role on Desperate Housewives in the near future. Hopefully that works out … we can see him as a teenage hunk who knocks someone up.
The Bachelor hopeful Rozlyn Papa got pimp-slapped by Chris Harrison on the “Women Tell All” reunion special for her alleged affair with one of the show’s producers. Looks like she gets slapped in a very different way in her free time. The alleged Rozlyn Papa sex tape , which we told you about last month, has found its way online. The short tape, which has been posted by Pornhub.com, features a woman certainly resembling the 28-year-old model “performing a sex act on a sizable gentleman.” Well, that rules out that it’s Jake Pavelka on the receiving end … are we right? Up top! Of course, The Bachelor finale also ended with someone on their knees … eh? Rozlyn’s rep previously said she has “no knowledge of any tape.” But can anyone take what Rozlyn says at face value? More importantly, does anyone care anymore? Now a Vienna Girardi sex tape, that would be a different story. You know there’s one out there, and Us Weekly is waiting to release it at just the right moment. Give it time. Give. It. Time. http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/09/bachelor-rozlyn-papa-alleged-sex-tape-released-debut-internet-bachelor/
Earlier, we told you about how Lindsay Lohan sat down with the Sunday Times and lamented how she is a target and walks around with a bulls-eye on her back.
