James Brandon Says Prince Pilfered His Group’s Hit For “Girl 6″ Soundtrack

Singer Prince is accused of ripping off another band’s music to create the title song for a Spike Lee film and now has been slapped with a lawsuit demanding more than $150,000.

James Brandon filed a federal lawsuit against singer Prince, director Spike Lee and Warner Bros Records, that claims Prince stole his group’s song “Phone Sex.”

Brandon states that Spike Lee directed a film entitled “Girl 6″ back in 1996, which features a song on the soundtrack by the same name which was produced and sung by Prince

He says that back in the early 90’s he was the manager of a group entitled “GOMAB” which created the song “Phone Sex” which wasn’t copyrighted until 2013.

The man explains that while promoting the band’s song in 1993, he met with Clarence Lee – Spike Lee’s uncle – who took interest in the song and was so impressed he called Spike on the phone in front of Brandon.

He claims that Spike then requested the music be forwarded to the soundtrack coordinator for his film “Girl 6″ which had yet to be released.

But Brandon said he never heard back from Spike or his uncle, and then when the film was released he realized Prince’s song in the film had substantial and significant similarities to his band’s song “Phone Sex.”

The musician/manager has filed suit claiming copyright infringement claiming Spike and Prince used his groups work without permission and mislead the public into thinking it was independently created.

He says he suffered damages and will continue to lose money due to Prince ripping off his work.

Brandon is demanding an injunction against the singer from continuing to release the song along with $150,000 for every infringement that the singer allegedly committed.

Fair Or Foul: Texas Judge Orders Man To Marry Girlfriend And Write Bible Verses Or Go To Jail

Texas Judge Orders Man To Marry Girlfriend And Write Bible Verses

A Texas man facing jail time for getting into a fight with his girlfriend’s old boyfriend was given two choices by an East Texas judge: go to jail or marry his girlfriend in 30 days.

Via Raw Story:

Josten Bundy stood before Smith County Judge Randall Rogers in mid-July on misdemeanor charges of assault after getting into a fight with the ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend at the time, Elizabeth Jaynes. According to Bundy, the judge gave him a choice: 15 days in jail or marry his girlfriend within thirty days as part of his probation.

Bundy said that he got into the fight because her ex was being “disrespectful” to her, telling the judge, “I took matters into my own hands and I know that’s wrong.I know I was raised better, but it happened.”

“Is she worth it?” Judge Rogers asked Bundy, according to court transcripts.

“I said, well to be honest, sir, I was raised with four sisters and if any man was talking to a woman like that,” Bundy stated, “I’d probably do the same thing.”

That was when Rogers laid down the terms of his release.

“You know, as a part of my probation, you’re going to have to marry her within 30 days.” the judge said, telling him the alternative was 15 days in jail.

“He offered me fifteen days in jail and that would have been fine and I asked if I could call my job [to let them know],” said Bundy. “The judge told me ‘nope, that’s not how this works.’”

The couple got a marriage license and were married by a justice of the peace, but Bundy was unhappy because the impromptu wedding meant many in is his family couldn’t attend, and Jaynes father criticized the judge for forcing the wedding on the young couple.

“[I felt] anger; I was mad. [The judge] can’t do this by court ordering somebody to be married,” said Kenneth Jaynes. “I contacted a couple of lawyers but they told me someone was trying to pull my leg…that judges don’t court order somebody to get married.”

According to a local attorney, Rogers’ ruling was illegal.

“To say you’re not going to be criminally punished if you get married is way out of left field,” said attorney Blake Bailey. “It sounds like the old days of shotgun weddings, but not even the judge is capable of enforcing, what he thinks is best for some people in his court.”

How the hell was this even legal?!?!

When The Easton’s In The House… Are KimYe Giving Their Baby Boy “Some Direction” In His Name After All?

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Have Settled On A Baby Name

Since the news first broke of KimYe expecting their second child there has been a lot of speculation over what the baby would be named. And it looks like Kim and Kanye did a good job of misleading the public by telling us North would be unique in her directional name.

According to a Daily Mail exclusive:

Kim Kardashian West has gone on record at least twice to deny rumors that she’ll be heading in yet another direction for baby No. 2.

But Daily Mail Online exclusively can reveal that the West couple will be, indeed, naming their baby boy a direction. Sort of.

‘Easton is the chosen name. It’s confirmed that the baby boy will be called Easton,’ a close family friend said, spilling the beans.

Easton West will join North West in about five months. The only location left is South, and Kim’s wasn’t big on that choice.

The reality star told NPR: ‘I don’t like South West, though, because that’s like, you know, North will always, you know, be better and be more…she has a better direction.’

She went on to affirm to Shaquille O’Neal on his podcast: ‘Why just add another direction? North is the best. I don’t want to try to duplicate that with a lower direction, you know?’
Yet, in a form, she will.

The family friend confirmed to Daily Mail Online that last week, the celebrity pair locked in the name ‘Easton’ so that his nursery and wardrobe can begin to be made, monograms and all.

‘Kourtney told a few girls at a Hidden Hills pool party last weekend that Kayne’s favorite name by far is ‘Easton’, a name Kim wasn’t hot on at first because Kanye liked simply ‘East’

‘But Kim came up with Easton and, for them, history was made.

‘No doubt monogrammed baby bibs are being hand-sewn as we speak,’ the friend added. ‘Mason is already calling his auntie’s tummy Easton.’

What do you think of the name Easton? Think they’ll call him Eazy for short? Then we’ll have a Yeezy, a Norweezy and an Eazy.

Aldon Smith Cut By 49ers After DUI Car Crash

We reported earlier today that 49ers baller Aldon Smith was involved in a blizzard hit-and-run car crash. The drunk athlete has had a long history of DUIs and run-ins with the law because of his drinking, and his team is over it!

Via TMZ:

Aldon Smith’s arrest Friday was his last straw with the San Francisco 49ers … they’ve cut him.

In a statement announcing the move, the team said, “This organization has tried very hard to help Aldon fight his issues. Although he is no longer a member of this team, our support and concern for him will continue.”

49ers coach Jim Tomsula described the situation as “a sad day,” but said that Smith “will not have to walk this path alone.”

Smith was arrested early Friday morning in Santa Clara for hit and run, DUI and vandalism. He posted $26,000 bail and has since been released.

Why can’t these rich ballers just hire drivers when they want to go out and get slizzard?!? Uber isn’t that expensive folks.

Floyd Mayweather Responds To Ronda Rousey’s ESPYs Diss

Via HuffingtonPost

Once again dodging his lengthy record of domestic abuse, Floyd Mayweather responded to Ronda Rousey’s recent diss of the boxer by simply bypassing it altogether.

At last month’s ESPY Awards, Rousey earned the Best Fighter award, however, she truly won the night for calling out Mayweather on his charges of abuse, something on which many others in the sports world have turned a blind eye.

“I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once,” Rousey said. “I’d like for him to pretend to not know who I am now.”

When asked about the comment, Mayweather, as per usual, dismissed the controversy, instead making it about purse money.

“I just say that, you know, I’ve yet to see any MMA fighter or other boxer make over $300 million in 36 minutes. When she can do that, then call me,” Mayweather said in an interview with ESPN’s SportsCenter that aired Thursday.

Mayweather went on to say:

“You know awhile back, I never knew who Ronda Rousey was. So I’m pretty sure she got upset. I want to say congratulations to Ronda Rousey and the UFC, you guys have done a tremendous job. And I’ve won probably six or seven ESPYs for [Best Fighter], and I truly believe she deserves it. Congratulations to Ronda Rousey.”

Keep it real, you’d love to see Ronda f*** Floyd up wouldn’t you?

New Lawsuit Claims Nick Gordon Gave Bobbi Kristina ‘Toxic Cocktail’ And Drowned Her In Tub

Lawsuit Claims Nick Gordon Gave Bobbi Kristina Toxic Cocktail

An amended lawsuit filed by the late Bobbi Kristina Brown’s conservator alleges that Nick Gordon gave Brown a “toxic cocktail” and then put her face down in a tub of cold water.

Via 11 Alive:

The original suit was filed on June 24 in Fulton County Superior Court by Brown’s court-appointed conservator Bedelia Hargrove. It accused Gordon of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and transferring money from her account into his own without authorization.

Brown, the 22-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died on July 26 — months after being found unresponsive in the tub of her Roswell home on Jan. 31. Brown never regained consciousness and was moved to hospice care in June.

The amended complaint, filed on Friday, adds a wrongful death count. It alleges that around 6 a.m. on Jan. 31, Gordon returned after “being out all-night on a cocaine and drinking binge.” The suit says that Gordon watched camera footage of Brown and listened to her conversations.

Gordon and Brown began arguing in the kitchen. The dispute moved to the living and then upstairs to the master bedroom. Gordon allegedly accused Brown of cheating and called her a number of names, the lawsuit alleges. The argument lasted about 30 minutes and then “everything abruptly became quiet.”

The lawsuit then says that Gordon “gave Bobbi Kristina a toxic cocktail rendering her unconscious and then put her face down in a tub of cold water causing her to suffer brain damage.”

According to the suit, Gordon then came out of the bedroom wearing different clothes than he was wearing in his argument with Bobbi Kristina, got into bed, laid his head on a female guest’s ankle and said, “Now I want a pretty little white girl like you.”

About 15 minutes later, a guest at the home went in to check on Brown and found her face down in a tub. A dust pan was at the bottom of the tub, the lawsuit states. Bobbi Kristina unresponsive, unconscious with a swollen mouth and a tooth hanging loosely from her mouth.

Gordon allegedly then came into the bathroom, let the water out of the tub and shouted, “Clean up, clean up.” Others, including Gordon, began efforts to resuscitate Brown and called for medical personnel.

Bobbi Kristina’s “Hubby/Brother” Denies Drugging, Drowning His One-Time Love

Nick Gordon has slammed claims that he drugged and drowned Bobbi Kristina Brown.

This week, Brown’s conservator, Bedelia Hargrove, added new wrongful death charges to the $40 million lawsuit against the troubled Gordon, which already accused him of battery, emotional distress and stealing more than $11,000 from Brown when she was in a coma.

The new filing said Gordon came home at 5 a.m. from an all night coke and booze binge and began arguing with Brown over cheating. Gordon then drugged his partner and plunged her head into a tub full of cold water.

But Gordon’s lawyers Joe Habachy and Jose Baez, said the wrongful death claims were completely bogus.

“The recent lawsuit against Nick is slanderous and meritless,” they said in a statement to BOSSIP. “Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it’s shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly.”

“Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most.”

Brown was found unconscious in her bathtub Jan. 31, and remained in a coma for six months before she died July 26.
