Will.I.Am and Pharrell Williams have settled lawsuit


The battle of wills between Will.I.Am and Pharrell Williams over the latter's use of "I Am" in his company branding has been resolved out of court.
Black Eyed Peas main man Will had taken exception to Pharrell calling his firm "I Am Other" - and had got his legal team to issue a cease and desist notice - arguing that it was too close to his own "I.Am+" product range.
However chart titan Pharrell had rebuffed the claim - saying that there would be no confusion among the public.
He issued a response saying: "The I Am Other mark means 'I am something else', leaving what that 'else' is to the imagination of the consumer.
"It certainly does not mean 'I am Will' or in any way suggest defendants' or the will.i.am mark."
And Williams voiced his unhappiness over the situation to Rolling Stone, saying: "I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me. I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions."
And the US mag now reports that they have settled out of court, although no details are known.

Bill O'Reilly attacks Beyoncé's latest music video


Bill O'Reilly has launched an unprovoked attack on Beyoncé's  latest video, labelling the work 'exploitative garbage' and suggested that it will encourage teenage pregnancy among African American girls.

During a recent chat with Russell Simmons on Monday night, 
the Fox news presenter seemed discussed at the fact Beyoncé can be seen to have “sex” in the back of a car with husband Jay-Z and referencing Monica Lewinsky in her Partition video.
O’Reilly explained his reason for the attack saying “the video glorifies having sex in the back of a limousine,' and then warmed to his point saying, 'Teenage girls look up to Beyoncé, particularly girls of colour. She’s an idol to them," he continued. “I’m saying: Why on earth would this woman do that? “

 
Why would she do it when she knows the devastation that unwanted pregnancies - and fractured families - why would Beyoncé do that?'
The 64-year-old host of The O'Reilly Factor insisted to Simmons that Beyoncé has 'an obligation to protect children' and not to put out 'exploitative garbage.'
 Simmons, who co-founded Def Jam Recordings in 1983, attempted to explain but O'Reilly became confused when the video and music was referred to as art.
 "Bill, if you think that art that comes out of a community is the cause of the struggle–'
 'That’s art?' O’Reilly interrupted.
 
'Yes, absolutely,' Simmons responded.
 'Beyoncé in the back of a limo having sex and referencing Monica Lewinsky is art?' O'Reilly shouted.
 'She's a brilliant artist,' Simmons shot back. 'And she's not only appreciated by people of colour, as you know, she's really one of the top artists in the world to people of every colour”.
 
 However the host admitted he loved Beyoncé's Superbowl performance 'brilliant' but attacked the video to Partition - in which the singer appears to be performing sexually provocative dance moves for the benefit of her partner of ten-years, Jay-Z.
Simmons tried to dodge any questions of the video, but said that he did 'think the artist's job throughout history has been to tell the same things that people are inspired by...so when an artist expresses something that is sexual in music, it's a reflection of our reality.
I have to say I agree with Russell on this one, I feel we live in a world where people become to focus on the fact that these stars are role models to their fans, but what you need to remember is they didn’t ask to be. Parents need to ensure their children understand the differences between a music video and real life. It’s up to you bring up your child.

Taylor Swift is the highest-earning musician of 2013



Taylor Swift has been named the highest-earning musician of 2014.

From her US tour alone, the country musician made around $30 million thanks to sponsorship, ticket sales and merchandise sales.
Another country act took the number 2 spot – Kenny Chseney – while Justin Timberlake came in at number 3 with a not-to-be-sniffed at $31.5 million.
JT’s first album since 2013 and his 20/20 Experience tour helped boost his post-N*Sync salary.

Cheryl Cole back for The X Factor 2014




Cheryl Cole confirmed her return to The X Factor judging panel last night (March 10) after reportedly signing a deal worth £1.5million.

After months of speculation, the gorgeous Geordie took to Instagram to share a snap of herself and Simon Cowell, which sees Chezza with her hands around his throat.

She then accompanied the pic with the caption: "GUESS WHAT!!... I'm baaaacccckkkkk!!!!", before adding the hashtags #iMayActuallyRingHisNeck #XFactor2014 #leggooo.

 

Cheryl later said in a statement: "I’m very happy and excited to be returning to The X Factor. I’m inspired and ready to find new talent and potential pop stars. It’s going to be a fun series.”

Cowell could hardly contain his excitement on Twitter, also confirming the news: "It's official. Cheryl is back. Be careful what you wish for"  "Most importantly she is a brilliant judge of talent."SiCo later added: "I am so happy that Cheryl has agreed to join The X Factor again. The last time we worked together in the UK was incredible and produced some really successful artists. Obviously the plan is to do the same again… so it's back to work!"

Elaine Bedell, ITV’s director of comedy and entertainment, said: "We're thrilled to be announcing Cheryl's return to The X Factor panel - she was an extremely popular judge who struck a real chord with our viewers, and we're looking forward to welcoming her back on screen this autumn."

 

Richard Holloway, managing director Thames TV, said: "I’m delighted to welcome Cheryl back to the show. She has the unique experience of having started out on a show like this and she is also one of the only people who knows how to get the better of Simon. Having them both reunited on the panel will make for a great series this year.”

According to The Sun, Cole and SiCo have been in months of negotiations - which ended with the Girls Aloud star being handed Gary Barlow's old mega-deal, making her the second highest-paid panelist other than SiCo.

Following her sacking from The X Factor USA in 2011, Chez and Simon have had a rocky relationship - with the 30-year old babe previously revealing they are now "frenemies".

Cole first appeared on the XF between 2008 to 2010, with the pal adding she is in a "different place" after her disastrous stint on the US series.

However, while bosses hope Chezza return will "revitalise" the talent show, The Sun adds that the Call My Name singer has only signed a one-year deal.

 Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger recently quitting the show, former contestant Olly Murs is the red hot favourite to take the final seat, while Rita Ora and ex-panelist Dannii Minogue have already ruled themselves out.

However, The Sun's source added: "Having Cheryl on board makes the fourth spot much more desirable.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran have split.




It's official. Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran have split.

The model took to Twitter and Instagram to tell her followers: "Not dating anyone stop w the bs" before adding "Please and thank you."
She followed this up by posting the quote: "Be Kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle" in what may be a reference to Chris Brown's recent bipolar disorder diagnosis.
Documents submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court last week linked the singer's anger issues to previously undiagnosed bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The split comes amid reports that Chris Brown is back in contact with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Page Six reports that the pair have been texting since Rihanna's birthday on 20 February, however, in a Tweet that has since been deleted, Chris Brown said:"Focused on my Recovery and Music... Nothing more, nothing less."
 think this is a good thing I think Chris needs to concentrate on his own issues and his music 
Rihanna has most recently been linked with Drake, whom she joined on stage for a raunchy display in Paris several weeks ago.

James Arthur slams The X Factor


James Arthur has launched a new attack on The X Factor, branding the show 'karaoke' and slagging off former male winners of the contest, reports the Daily Mirror.

In an interview on Polish TV, he said: “Having watched X Factor over the years, they just haven’t got it right. The male winners haven’t been believable. They look like puppets, they sound like puppets.

“I happen to agree with a lot of people who say it’s like karaoke. I’ve done it myself watching the show over the years and saying, ‘I’ve seen better down my local pub. Unfortunately, there’s a f***load of karaoke singers in the world and all they can do is make them look like good karaoke singers.”

The singer, who recently slammed 'bullies' in the press for 'disgraceful propaganda' written about him, also appeared to hit out at his record label during the interview.

He said: “I have people telling me what I can and can’t do, what music I can and can’t make. People who aren’t artists don’t think about creativity and art, they think about money.

“When you find fame or you get signed to a record label, it’s not what you imagined – because you imagined they would have 100 per cent trust or faith in you as an artist. Unfortunately, that’s not really the case – it’s what sells.”

Don't  get me wrong I like James and nobody can say that he doesn't have talant. However  it comes across as a bit ungrateful, there are something's you leave at the kitchen table.

Sam Bailey talks unborn baby "I'm terrified"


Sam Bailey has revealed that she is terrified of losing her unborn baby.

The X Factor winner, who announced she was pregnant earlier this week, told the Sunday Mirror she is having weekly scans to monitor her latest pregnancy.

She told the paper: "I’m scared every day that I’ll lose the baby. It’s a horrible feeling so I need reassurance. I’ve been there before and I know how hard it is.

"As soon as I found out I was pregnant I wanted to see for myself that my baby was OK. When I heard a heartbeat the first time it was a massive relief. I have signed up to a clinic where I can go in whenever I like to check everything’s OK.

"But when I walk in there I’m very nervous. It’s definitely worth it because otherwise I know the worry and stress will get on top of me and start to affect my work. I can’t let that happen. It would be bad for the baby too."

Earlier this week the singer said she was moving her first solo tour from October to January after finding out she was expecting.

The former prison officer already has two children - eight-year-old Brooke and four-year-old Tommy - with husband Craig.

Let's hope everything goes well for Sam and her family and congratulations.

Chris Brown has bipolar disorder


According to reports
Chris Brown's anger issues are reported to have been linked to previously undiagnosed bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Documents submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court from the rehab facility where he has been treated reveal the dual diagnosis, which purports to explain the series of angry and violent incidents that the R&B star has been involved in over recent years.
The singer was in court yesterday for a progress hearing after he was sentenced to 90 days in rehab in November.
In court documents obtained by E! News, the rehab facilities attributed Brown's "mood swings" to PTSD and bipolar disorder.
"Mr. Brown will also require close supervision by his treating physician in order to ensure his bipolar mental health condition remains stable.
"It is not uncommon for patients with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Bipolar II to use substances to self-medicate their biomedical mood swings and trauma triggers," a letter from the facility read.
"Mr. Brown became aggressive and acted out physically due to his untreated mental health disorder, severe sleep deprivation, inappropriate self-medicating and untreated PTSD."
According to the documents, Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin said "It is evident that
has responded well to the dual-diagnosis treatment."
Representatives from the rehab facility added that he has been "beyond exemplary" in fulfilling his community service requirements.

But CB himself seemed reflective yesterday as he tweeted: "Never really goes the way u plan. #LIFE"

I think now that there has been some kind of reason for Chris's recent antics maybe he can get his  life back on track, and he can focus on what he is good at witch is music.

Aside from his legal troubles, Brown will drop his long-awaited X album this year, along with his Fan Of A Fan 2 mixtape with Tyga.
I can not wait to hear the new album it will be interesting to see how Chris has grown.

Kim Kardashian talks North West " My child is not spoiled"

Kim Kardashian has insisted that her daughter North is not spoiled when comes to clothes.
The reality star told US magazine People: "Despite what it looks like on Instagram, my daughter is not spoiled at all!"
Her comments come after she posted pics on Instagram earlier this month howing baby clothes by designers including Roberto Cavalli and Oscar de la Renta.
However Kim, who is launching her own line of baby clothes, revealed that her eight-month-old daughter is yet to wear the exclusive clobber. She told the mag:
"She has actually not worn anything designer yet. Kids get dirty. She'll spit up. She moves around so much. I saw this one cute dress that was $500 and I was like, 'Absolutely not!'"
She added: "I just want her in little onesies and leggings. Onesies are life-changing! I would feel bad every time I had to squeeze a shirt over her head."
In even more surprising news, Kim said that she dresses North in hand-me-downs from her sister, revealing: "Kourtney saves everything
and gives it to me."
However, not everything gets the seal of approval from her already fashion-conscious baby as she added: "I tried to put North in a faux-fur vest, but she hated it. She doesn't mind headbands pull her hair."

Has Nicole Scherzinger Quit The X Factor?


Nicole Scherzinger is reported to have told Simon Cowell and The X Factor's management team that she won't be returning to the show.

The former Pussycat Dolls star has been a hit with UK audiences after joining the judging panel for the last two years - but appears to have been sidelined while Cheryl Cole negotiates over a possible return.

 Adoring to many reports A friend of 35-year-old Scherzy told The Sun: "It breaks her heart, but Nicole is sad not to be able to go back to the show this year. She has agonised over this decision for months.

"She put her music career on hold last year but now she has to focus on her music."

Simon Cowell has already announced that he is returning to the panel this autumn - and is reported to be seeking to sign Chezza and Rita Ora to sit alongside himself and Louis Walsh.

The paper also quoted a source close to SiCo as saying of Scherzy: "She will always be part of the X Factor family."

Meanwhile Chezza has stoked rumours of her return with a "throwback Thursday" picture.



Tulisa pleads not guilty to assault


Tulisa was back in court yesterday (February 12) to face assault charges after she allegedly 'punched' a man at last year's V Festival.

Fashion blogger Vas J Morgan alleges that Tulisa came at him in a "drunken and angry state" and struck him in the eye during the altercation at the music event last August.

The former X Factor judge arrived at Chelmsford Magistrates Court in Essex with her PA Gareth Varey, and pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault by beating.

Varey was also accused of threatening behaviour towards Morgan, and like his pal, pleaded not guilty.

The Female Boss - who showed off her dark hair and wore a black suit to the hearing - was later released on unconditional bail and will stand trial in May.

Her spokesperson Simon Jones later stated: "Tulisa has been charged with an offence of common assault and her PA, Gareth Varey, with an offence of threatening behaviour.

"Today at court Tulisa and Gareth entered pleas of not guilty to these unfounded allegations, and they both look forward to demonstrating their innocence at the forthcoming trial."

The N-Dubz star is also due back in court on July 14 in relation to an alleged cocaine deal.

Miley Cyrus "I believe men watch too much porn"


Miley Cyrus has revealed she believes men watch 'too much porn'.

During an interview with Woody Allen's son Ronan Farrow for her W magazine spread - which sees the Adore You singer pose naked - Cyrus explained she thinks adult movies can cloud men's judgement of women.

Miley told Farrow: "Those girls don't exist. They're not real girls. And that's like us watching romance movies. That's girl porn, because, like, those guys do not exist.'

The 21-year old also accused some men of 'trying too hard' with her, telling the publication she doesn't like being taken to 'fancy restaurants' on dates: "That’s why I’m, like, not trying to jump into a relationship…

"I love my music so much, and I love what I’m doing so much that that has become my other half — rather than another person."

She went on to reveal that she likes to spend most of her time at her Los Angeles mansion, stating: "I never leave the house,. Why go to a movie? I’ve got a huge-ass TV. We’ve got a chef here that can make you great food.

"We don’t need to leave. I would just rather be here where I’m completely locked in."

The Wrecking Ball hitmaker also, once again, discussed her marijuana habit, telling the mag: "I love weed. I just love getting stoned."

Chris Brown back in court but will he face jail?




According to reports
Chris Brown was back in court on Monday (February 3) where he again faced the possibility of returning to jail.
At a probation hearing in front of Superior Court judge James R. Brandlin, prosecutors said they have enough evidence now from Brown's assault case in Washington, D.C., to prove that the singer violated his probation from his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.
According to the Associated Press, Los Angeles District Attorney Mary Murray tried to have Brown put behind bars again and called for a full probation violation hearing, which would have allowed her to present the new evidence to Brandlin.
"He continues to pose an increasingly violent danger to society," read Murray's motion, which referred to the singer's alleged assault on a man in the nation's capital on October 27.
Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, earlier turned down a plea deal in that misdemeanour case because he believes his client did nothing wrong.
Following the D.C. arrest, Brown's probation in the 2009 assault case was revoked, though he was not sent to jail because Brandlin was pleased with the singer's progress in 90 days of court-ordered rehab for anger management.
Breezy spent 16 days in a facility to deal with anger issues before leaving to complete his treatment on an outpatient basis.
In asking for more jail time, Murray's motion also cited an incident in which Brown threw a brick through his mother's car window after one of the anger management therapy sessions.
The prosecutor said she brought the new motion because she now has information about the man whose nose was allegedly broken in the attack.
Brandlin turned down the request, however, saying that probation officials told him Brown was making good progress in treatment and should remain in the program. Geragos also said that Brown is making "great strides" and shouldn't have his progress stopped by jail.
E! Online reported that Brown, who arrived with his mother, Joyce Hawkins, and on-and-off girlfriend Karrueche Tran, has completed 109 hours of a 1,000 hour community labor sentence and has passed his last four drug tests.
"I say keep things on a short leash," lawyer Geragos said. "Keep him where he is now ... He is making great strides and all you have to do is look at him, and I've known him for five years. He's as good as he's ever been."
Brown is due in D.C. for a hearing in the assault case on February 20 and was ordered to return to Brandlin's courtroom on February 28 for a progress update.

Chris Brown is clearly making changes in his life and I feel we need too give him the time and space for him to do this, everyone makes mistakes and nobody is saying that he should be given a pass but allow him the time to get his life together.

Kim Kardashian for Vogue magazine?

According to The Daily Star, the Midnight Memories group are on track to beat a record set by U2 after they managed to pocket £447million from their 360° jaunt.

“That would be a phenomenal testament to the loyalty and support of their fans.”
Music industry expert Mory Brenner also noted: “You have to go back to 1964, when The Beatles led the British Invasion that turned American’s music industry upside down, to find anything close to the following they have.”
Is there any stopping these boys? Something tell me this going to be one fantastic tour.

Is Cheryl Cole unsure about returning to The X Factor?


According reports
Cheryl Cole is reported to be delaying a decision on returning to The X Factor - because she had such a bad time on her last year on the show.

The Mirror claims that Chezza's painful memories of her divorce from Ashley Cole and being in hospital with malaria back in 2010 are mixed up with the show in her head.

"She's not sure whether taking the job is the right thing. Cheryl associates her last season there with a really hard time in her life and that's her biggest mental hurdle," a friend reportedly told the paper.

"It was when she was going through her divorce and had just had malaria. Although she loves the show, that season was really intense and hard work with her finalists.

"Cheryl is in a good place – the best she's ever been. Simon is after her but she's having to do some real soul-searching to see if she really wants to throw herself back into the spotlight."

Simon Cowell is reportedly keen to get Chezza back on the judging panel along with himself - and possibly Dannii Minogue.

But the paper's source claimed that Cheryl is not simply holding out for more money.

"This is not about the salary. This is about Cheryl making the right choice for her and her happiness."

I hope she comes back!!
