Another Day, Another Beyonce Lawsuit...




No, the planet earth's lawyer didn't file a lawsuit seeking damages due to pain, suffering, excessive diarrhea and hearing-loss after listening to Bey's new smash shit Who RUIN The World (Whores), not yet at least, but they are gettin their paperwork together.

Instead, these court papers reveal a company (who should have known better) named Gate Five is suing the tooth plaque and coochie-crust off of Beyonce's ass to the tune of 100 MILLION SLUT-BUCKS for;

1. Being a GREEDY ASS GREEDY BITCH (duh...)

2. Being a MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE HUMAN BEING (double-duh...)

3. Ruining 70 people's christmas by forcing them out of a job the week before christmas because of reasons 1 and 2 (helmet wearing triple-duuhhhhh).


Here's the TMZ tea



A video game company called Gate Five filed papers today in NY -- in which they claim they had a deal in place in 2010 to create a game with Beyonce called, "Starpower: Beyonce."

According to the docs, things went awry during a "crucial moment in the project's development" when Beyonce made "an extortionate demand" for more money -- even though the two sides already had a deal in place.

Gate Five claims her move "drove 70 people into unemployment, the week before Christmas" ... and notes that one of the project's backers described her conduct as "morally reprehensible."

The company claims it is entitled to the $6.7 mil it invested into the venture -- as well as more than $100 million in profits Gate Five believes it would have earned had Beyonce honored the agreement.

Another Day, Another Camel Suit...


So the latest news flying across the desert is Jay-Z is being SUED by a private plane company for not paying in full. Here's the tea...

18 hours of flight time at $4,500-per-hour (discounted from $6,000-per-hour) ... $81,000
Catering for 17 domestic flights ($500-per-flight) .... $8,500
Catering for 4 international flights ($750-per-flight) ... $3,000
International fees ... $8,500
Taxes ... $12,285
Luxury trip to England ... $24,200

It all adds up to $137,485.00 ... which is why most people just fly coach.

Okay, so instantly a few things come to mind, here.

1. Can't he afford his own plane by now? If John Travolta can afford one, I'm sure Jay-Z can afford one, too.

2. Da fuck wrong with this bitch??

And don't give me this "it was an oversight" crap, either. Why didn't he just give them his Camel Express Card? and I don't want to hear about "my people dropped the ball" bullsh!t. Do you need your people to wipe your ass, too? You know what the hell you're spending and when you're spending it. People have bills to pay, they don't have time to wait until "your people" get their crap together!

Sorry for being in such a funky mood, but this queen just PISSES ME OFF!!

This Is Why They Don't Love You...




B.B. Homewrecker really did it this time, Lucy. Beyonce knowing nothing of the Good Neighbor Policy has been made clear because a neighbor of the home "Why Don't You Love Me" was shot in is suing the cigarette butts out of Beyonce for forcing herself down everyone's throat (and possibly forcing all the neighborhood men down her throat, chile).

After she finished blocking driveways with her traffic stopping booty-pads, Here's the TMZ tea..

Philip Markowitz alleges in a lawsuit obtained by TMZ ...his peace and quiet was shattered the morning of March 26, 2010, when the film crew "invaded his neighborhood" ... waking him out of a peaceful sleep at 7 AM.

That nightmare was followed by a series of intrusions, Markowitz claims. Markowitz says during the morning ... every time he tried leaving his house the crew was blocking his driveway. He went in and out and in and out .... and each time, he says, there was some obstacle in his way.

Now it gets really good. Markowitz says he "missed several business calls while arguing calmly in his driveway." By 11:30 AM, "He demanded compensation for the trespass on his property and the inconvenience and delay he had already suffered."

In fact, Markowitz says he told someone from the crew that he's gotten upwards of $10,000 for the use of his property, but says he was told he couldn't be paid this time because it was a "low budget film shoot."

But Markowitz doesn't buy it. He's suing Beyonce and the production company for unspecified damages ... including the dreaded punitive damages.

Spillin' Tea: Lady Gaga SUED!




Now I know I ain't crazy (shut up bitches), but seems to me the name Fusari has come up another time before not too damn long ago. Hmmm...

Yes ma'am, it's looking more and more like Gaga and Honey Bey may be two turds in a blanket afterall. Here's the tea;

NEW YORK — A songwriter and music producer who claims he helped launch pop star Lady Gaga says she squeezed him out of her lucrative career after he co-wrote some of her songs, came up with her stage name and helped get her record deal.

Rob Fusari filed a $30.5 million lawsuit against the Grammy Award-winning performer, saying his protege and former girlfriend ditched him as her career soared.

"All business is personal," said the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in a Manhattan state court.

Lady Gaga's spokesman, Dave Tomberlin, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail sent Thursday by The Associated Press.

Fusari had credits on such hits as Will Smith's "Wild, Wild West" and























(drumroll please)...






























Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious" when a friend steered the piano-playing singer – then known by her real name, Stefani Germanotta – to him in March 2006, according to his lawsuit.

Though he initially dismissed her, he realized she had star potential after hearing her play in his Parsippany, New Jersey, studio, the suit said. He spent the next several months working with her every day and "radically reshaping her approach," persuading her to drop rock riffs for dance beats, it said.

As they co-wrote songs such as "Paparazzi" and "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich," which would appear on her debut album, "The Fame," he transformed Germanotta into Lady Gaga, a name adapted from Queen's "Radio Ga Ga," the lawsuit said.

In a 2009 interview with the AP, Lady Gaga said her "realization of Gaga was five years ago, but Gaga's always been who I am."

"I was Gaga from the time that I was 19 through my first record deal," the 23-year-old said of her over-the-top, avant-garde style, which has captured the imaginations of millions of fans. "I always dressed like that before people knew me as Lady Gaga. I was always that way ... I stuck out like a sore thumb."
Story continues below

According to the lawsuit, Lady Gaga and Fusari's relationship turned romantic and then became a business partnership in May 2006, when they created a joint venture called Team Love Child LLC to promote her career. Fusari's share was 20 percent, it said.

Fusari – whose account of his role in the multiplatinum-selling artist's early career has been told in interviews – says he introduced Lady Gaga to a record executive who ultimately shepherded her to Universal Music Group's Interscope Records, which released "The Fame" in 2008. The album has sold more than 3 million copies in the United States; Fusari has a producing credit.

But the lawsuit says their personal and business relationship had soured by then and he has been denied a 20 percent share of song royalties, 15 percent of merchandising revenue and other money he's owed. He acknowledges getting checks for about $611,000 but says that isn't his full share.

Lady Gaga won two Grammys in January: best dance recording, for "Poker Face," and best electronic/dance album, for "The Fame."

Oh YES! Now I know why that name rings a bell. Fuck Kevin Bacon! It's the six degrees of DESTINY'S CHILD!

While Gaga and Bey Bey were somewhere getting their penises sawed off and folded into a trannygina in a dominican back-alley somewhere, this poor unfortunate FOOL was writing his finger down to the bloody nub while Thelma & Louise 2010 picked his pocket and ran out the door with his wallet, chile.

Them bitches are elegant, ain't they?

I Wanna Talk About Those Bathing Suits...




Soooooo, children. Looks as if little miss shoplifter's luck ran out in Germany. A German judge ruled that the design of one of her bathing suits was jacked like Jay-Z's drivers license photo. It's obvious bitch was once again "inspired by" someone elses hard work, and as a result, a judge ruled the "Video Phone" video be BANNED from further airing in Germany. HAAAA!!!

In what has to be one of the more bizarre copyright disputes, the underwear manufacturer Triumph sued Sony because Beyoncé was wearing copyright infringing underwear in her music video “Video Phone”. Seriously.

The design in question by Bulgarian designer Iskren Lozanov is shown on the right, the music video below (the infringement occurs at about 0.50′). This week, the 7th Civil Chamber of the Landgericht Munich upheld an ex parte injunction barring Sony from distributing the “Video Phone” clip in Germany.

Triumph argued Beyoncé was wearing an unauthorized reproduction of the Iskren Lozanov design. Sony countered that both designs were inspired by Picasso, but otherwise, there were few similarities. The slips, in particular, were wholly different. The judge disagreed: the Lozanov design was highly original and enjoyed a wide scope of protection, and was therefore infringed by the underwear worn by Beyoncé.

Sony’s lawyer announced that, after consultation with Beyoncé, he would most likely appeal the decision.


Hold, the line, I have a call coming in...

Hello Caller, you say what??

Hotel Camelfornia




Camels around the world have their humps in a bunch because their supreme leader Jay-Z has had a minor setback involving a hotel and some cash. No, we aren't talking about his honeymoon (this time). It's been said that Shawn Camel's hotel venture has gone bust and he's on the hook for millions of bushels of hay..

Shawn Carter, the rap music artist and Rocawear clothing business founder known as Jay-Z, sued the investment firm Highland Capital Management LP in a dispute over loan guarantees.
Carter, in his complaint filed yesterday in federal court in New York, claims Highland and co-defendant NexBank SSB are attempting to “bleed” from him funds in excess of those he and two other men pledged to pay when they guaranteed the non- principal obligations of a company planning to build a hotel in Manhattan’s west side neighborhood of Chelsea
he rap star is seeking a declaratory judgment that he has met those obligations. He’s also seeking damages of more than $3.7 million for the additional interest and other costs incurred while still being held liable under the agreements.
“In August 2007, a company controlled by Mr. Carter borrowed $52 million as a loan to purchase Manhattan property for a future boutique hotel,” Nina Devlin, a Highland spokeswoman, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday.

The loan, held by funds managed by Highland, matured in August and is in default, Devlin said.
“Highland Capital Management believes the claims asserted by Mr. Carter are meritless and will vigorously defend itself and intends to pursue the obligations owed to Highland’s investors,” she said.
