Rihanna To Sue Topshop For £3 Million

Regent Street Window Project where architects in partnership wit

From Daily Mail:

Rihanna is threatening to sue Topshop after claiming they sold T-shirts with her face on it without asking permission.

The superstar’s team is said to have told the high street clothing chain run by billionaire Sir Phillip Green to stop selling them, and is reported to be asking for £3million in compensation at the High Court.

The legal threat comes despite the What’s My Name singer having dined with Sir Philip and music mogul Simon Cowell while on her Christmas break to Barbados in 2010.

The star, who last year signed a deal worth a rumoured £800,000 to design a range with High Street rival River Island, tweeted about the Boxing Day meal they had together, saying: ‘Just had dinner w/ Simon Cowell Philip Green @ Sandy Lane! Great night!’

She has also spent time with Sir Philip’s daughter Chloe while holidaying at the same time in the Caribbean two years ago.

It was even rumoured she might follow in the footsteps of Kate Moss and design a range for Topshop, but the two parties could now face each other in court.

Last year Topshop released a T-shirt featuring a picture of Rihanna from her ‘We Found Love’ music video, which sold out quickly afterwards.

It is understood this is the garment at the centre of the row.

In Britain companies could argue that by buying the image from the photographer, they do not have to pay licensing fees to the star pictured.

George Michael Injured In Car Crash On M1

George-Michael

From BBC News:

Singer George Michael has been airlifted to hospital with a head injury following a crash on the M1.

The former Wham! star, 49, remains in hospital after the crash at junction 6A, near St Albans, Hertfordshire.

A spokesman for Michael confirmed he had been involved in an accident on Thursday but said the singer only had “superficial cuts” and was “fine”.

Michael was a passenger in a Range Rover and no other vehicles were involved, the spokesman added.

Connie Filippello, spokesman for Michael, said: “George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident yesterday evening. No third party was involved.

“We have no further comment at this time.”

Ambulance spokesman Gary Sanderson said: “The man who we believe to be in his 40s sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilisation and immobilisation by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care.”

Hertfordshire Police said the northbound carriageway of the road was closed for an hour while emergency services dealt with the incident.

Two people were in the car at the time of the crash at about 17:50 BST. No arrests have been made.

A police spokesman said: “The exact circumstances of what happened are unclear at this time and until further investigations have been carried out it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.”

It should be noted that George Michael has been in trouble with the law regarding his driving before. Story developing….

Report: Did David Stern Force Derrick Rose to Fake Injury?

nba-sternx-large

According to The Heckler:

Sources within the NBA Commissioners office have leaked documents which show that Derrick Rose’s knee injury that kept him off the court for the duration of the 2012-2013 season was faked as an unofficial suspension for the former MVP’s reckless gambling addiction. This report shows that David Stern approached the Bulls’ franchise player shortly before game one of the 2012 playoffs demanding that he fake an injury in order to avoid casting a negative shadow on the NBA and hurting his otherwise squeaky-clean public image.

An NBA official, who wished to remain anonymous, told reporters, “Rose’s gambling had just gone out of control. He’s a hyper-competitive guy, and that manifested itself with all-night poker games and off-days spent in casinos, but it really crossed a line when he started betting on games.” According to this source, it was at this point that Stern decided to have Rose fake an injury so as not to hurt the reputation of the league.

When reached for comment about the likelihood that David Stern would force a player to miss an entire season due to a fabricated reason as punishment for gambling, Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan replied, “No comment. Not going there, man.”

Nelly’s Former Manager/Bodyguard May Be The Subject Of Kelly Rowland’s ‘Dirty Laundry’

Kelly-Rowland-Roy-Williams

First things first: if you haven’t heard the song — an ode to hatin’ on Beyonce and being in a former abusive relationship with an unnamed individual — head here

Heard it? Great.

Kelly Rowland spoke on how difficult it was for her to record the track:

It was very emotional. It took me days to record. I had to get past being so upset and actually sing the song, not sob through it. I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me. Dream said, ‘I want to write you a record so that people will know exactly who you are, underneath it all.’

Naturally, folks are beginning to wonder who was the individual that was beating on beloved Kelly in the single…..initial reports began to speculate that her ex Roy Williams was the culprit. Not only did he stop that rumor in its tracks, he (perhaps unintentionally) led folks to another clue:

roy-williams-1
roy-williams-denies-being-abusive-kelly-rowland-dirty-laundry-the-jasmine-brand

Cuda? Well, Madame Noire apparently knows who this is:

Cudda or Cudda Love, was Nelly’s manager/body guard back in the day…or maybe still today. (There’s not too much info on him right now.) But we suspect all that to change. This would make the most sense. Kelly mentioned that this relationship took place a decade ago. Which would have been around 2003, when she and Nelly recorded “Dilemma” and was subsequently spending a lot of time around Nelly and his crew.

Cam’ron recently posted an Instagram of the guy as well……time will tell if he speaks out on the matter or not:

Tyler Perry Responds To His Former Friend

tyler-perry

Yesterday, news hit the internet from one of Tyler’s former friends said that Tyler was gay, and he was beat up for it. So below, Tyler responds to his friend:

Tyler writes…

That Is Your Past And There Is No Future In It

“…Seriously there are a lot of people who are living their lives stuck in reverse, alarms going off, beeps beeping very loudly, but they can’t get it out of reverse. You know these kinds of people, the ones that nobody wants to be around because they can be so annoying, always dwelling on the past. Full of “I wish I had done this” or “I wish I could have done that”. These kinds of people are sad to me, not focusing on the beauty of today, they’d rather dig through the ashes of yesterday. Listen to me, you can’t change anything that you have done in your past, all you can do is go forward. No matter how many mistakes you have made, no matter how many things you have done wrong, you have got to move forward. That is your past and there is no future in it.

And the only way to move forward is to ask for forgiveness from the people who you have hurt and wronged. Whether they forgive you or not you must ask… sorry that’s just the way it is. If you don’t you will continue to reap bad things from what you have done to them, even if they don’t forgive you. You will have the power to be free because you asked for forgiveness. And secondly, you must forgive yourself. Forgiveness is the key that can move your life forward… and turn off the reverse alarm.”

Diddy’s Car Pulled Over At Gunpoint (Details)

P. DIDDY

Reports TMZ:

We’ve learned Diddy had just been dropped off at the Soho House … an ultra-exclusive, private club in West Hollywood. Diddy’s bodyguard and another person drove Diddy’s $500,000 Maybach away from Soho, but they didn’t get far.

We’re told someone called 911 and said someone inside the Maybach had a gun. At least 9 squad cars roared to the scene. Cops pulled their guns and ordered the occupants of the Maybach out of the car and made them lie prone on the ground, until they discovered there weren’t any guns.

The street was closed down temporarily until deputies gave the all-clear.
