Creative Copycats Sued - Rihanna, Oprah, Kim K. and Others in Legal Battles

By Aphrodite M. 

Fame brings as many perks as it does problems. Part and parcel with money and recognition come high profile lawsuits. Celebrities sue and are sued in return for anything and everything, including not liking beef (The Cattle Industry vs. Oprah) and daring to make a fan site for a favorite performer (Prince vs. His Fans). The law is constantly being perverted so some can make a point.

Paris Hilton & Lil' Wayne Talk Prison Time, Doing A Song Together & More In Exclusive Interview

Who better to interview Weezy than Paris Hilton? Ok Ok there are a few other candidates but we got to say, Paris' Weezy interview is definitely different...in a good way.

Paris Hilton interviewed Lil' Wayne for the April issue of Interview magazine, and the match provided some pretty amazing quotes.

The hip hop star talked about what it feels like to be called the "new king of hip-hop", discovering Drake, and the most bizarre thing he has read about himself.

The two compare their time in solitary confinement and the possibility of a collaboration on Paris' next album.

Below are some of the interview's best quotes:

HILTON: And now you’re being called the new king of hip-hop. What do you think of that? Is it something that’s hard to live up to? Or is it exciting to have people say that?

WAYNE: It’s very exciting. I love pressure, so I guess if that brings forth pressure, then I’m up for it. But, you know, titles are titles, and names are names. As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me.
HILTON: What’s the most bizarre thing that you’ve ever read about yourself?

WAYNE: The most bizarre thing I’ve ever read about myself is that I was dead. That was kind of weird to read that I’m dead— mostly because I was reading it. [both laugh]

HILTON: I read that about myself once, too. It’s pretty bizarre.

Lil' Wayne on his experience with the paparazzi in Miami:

"The only time I ever really witnessed some crazy paparazzi was during my court experiences. Every time I rode up to court, as soon as I jumped out of the truck, they were there to snap, and all in our way to where we couldn’t walk. It’s nowhere near like that around here. But maybe I’m just not that caliber of person that they want to take pictures of me like that."

Lil' Wayne on discovering Drake and the one thing he has taught him from his own experiences:

"When I first heard Drake, I already knew that he had potential beyond my imagination, because the kid was singing and rapping—and he was rapping real well…So that’s when I already knew that he was gonna blow up, right there. He would’ve done it—with me or not—I just wanted to make sure it was with me. And the main thing I’ve told him, or taught him, for lack of better words, is just to stay humble and remember who you are throughout it all, because there’s gonna be moments in every single day when you’ll have to go back to that person and reflect on that person. You have to self-reflect. If you forget who you actually are, then what’s the use of even looking in the mirror."

Lil' Wayne on his lyrics:

"I don’t hold nothing back. I do exactly what I want to do, and say exactly what I want to say. Sometimes I consider the fact that I have a daughter, but I also think about the realities of the world…I mean, once I get through that hump, then, like I said, I just say what’s on my mind."

Lil' Wayne on why his music is the way it is:

"Music is a reflection of who you are, and if those things that you mentioned are what your music is all about, then I guess that’s who you are…I speak about what I speak about, and I guess that’s because I’m a crazy- ass nigga…You have Jay-Z, and he speaks about more corporate things, and I’m quite sure he’s a pretty corporate guy."

Lil' Wayne and Paris Hilton on solitary confinement:

WAYNE: For me it was okay, because it just meant that I was alone with my thoughts.

HILTON: I had to do 24 nights in solitary. [Hilton was held in a separate cell as a safety precaution.]
WAYNE: Oh, so you know how it is.

HILTON: Yeah, I know how it is.

HILTON: How happy are you to have your freedom now?
WAYNE: Words cannot explain.

HILTON: Yeah, I know how you feel. [laughs] It’s the best feeling in the world when you come out.

Lil' Wayne on if he is satisfied with his career:

"I’m nowhere near satisfied and I’m always hungry for more. I’m a very creative person, and the best part about creation is creating. So I always love to come up with new things, new ideas, new thoughts."

HILTON: Do you believe in horoscopes?

WAYNE: I’ve read horoscopes before and what they say about Libras. But I would actually love to not be what somebody writes down—I don’t want to be described.

HILTON: Do you have any pets?
WAYNE: I like animals, but I only have a few pets. I have a bunch of fish, and I have two sharks. Those are my dudes.

HILTON: Wow. Sharks? Nice. How big are the sharks?
WAYNE: One is a little baby, so he’s about a foot or two, or something like that. Then the other one is a good two, two and a half feet, or almost three feet. EHRLICH: So do you have a huge pool for them? Or do they stay in a tank?
WAYNE: They live in a crib…It’s like a little pond under the stairwell in my house. So they swim under there.
HILTON: That’s dope.

Paris on what goals she wishes to accomplish by the end of the year:

"I’d really love to finish my album, because I’ve been working on it for so long…I’d also love to just continue doing my businesses, and be more confrontational with people…"

Lil' Wayne on what goals he wishes to accomplish by the end of the year:

"I want to bank a cool $50 million at least. At the end of this year, I want to be able to say that I banked $50 million. Not generated $50 million, but actually banked $50 million."

WAYNE: I wanna ask you something, Paris. When are you dropping your album?

HILTON: When am I dropping the album?

WAYNE: Yeah. Do you know?
HILTON: Hopefully soon. I’ve been working on it for so long—since my last album [Paris, 2006, Warner Bros.]. So I want to release it by this summer, because I have a lot of summer bangers. I want to just have it out, because that’s when people love to party.

WAYNE: That’s cool.

HILTON: If I had you on a song too, that would be hot.

WAYNE: That was gonna be my next question. I was gonna ask you, how are you gonna release an album and don’t get me on it?

HILTON: Well, if you would be on the album, then I would be honored. That would be the sickest thing. We should get each other’s phone numbers so we can call each other after the interview or text or something.

WAYNE: Cool. Sounds good.

HILTON: My number is 310-XXX-XXXX.

WAYNE: Okay. I’ll text you my number.
HILTON: …I have a recording studio that I built in my house—and a nightclub too.

You have a nightclub in your house?
HILTON: I built one, yeah, because I don’t really like to go out as much as I used to, so I just built a club at my house with the studio attached to it.

WAYNE: You’re so fuckin’ rich.

Do you have a disco ball in there?

HILTON: No, it’s really elegant. Although it has a stripper pole, so maybe it’s not that elegant.

Paris Hilton Arrested For Cocaine! Says It Wasn't Hers... GET THE 411

Paris Hilton was arrested for possession of cocaine Friday night in Las Vegas.

According to police, Paris was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over outside the Wynn Hotel. The driver was arrested for DUI (drug-related, not alcohol) and when cops searched Hilton, they found her in possession of a controlled substance.

Police say tests revealed the substance to be cocaine.


Paris' boyfriend, Cy Waits, was arrested as well. He was booked on a charge of DUI.


Sources who have spoken with Paris since her arrest on the Vegas strip late last night say... she insists the purse -- with what we're told contained a small amount of cocaine -- was not hers.

She's hired powerful Vegas lawyer David Chesnoff to handle the case ... and he already got her sprung without posting bail.

You'll recall Paris used the "the-drugs-weren't-mine" defense in South Africa last month, after being detained by police. No charges were filed against her.

As for the Vegas case, as far as we know she was the only woman in the car that was stopped, but she had been partying at a club prior to the bust where other women and purses were present.

Casey Johnson Friends & Lesbian Lovers Lash Out At Tila Tequila For Publicizing Casey's Death! [Funeral Arrangments Included]

Casey Johnson was linked to many beautiful women in her short, tragic life - some in friendship, some in love and some in shocking tabloid controversy.

They include:

- Former Playboy bunny Nicole Lenz. She was Johnson's roommate at one time, but wound up suing the heiress for defamation, claiming she planted stories that falsely suggested Lenz stole more than $750,000 in bling.

- L.A. socialite Courtenay Semel. The heiress daughter of ex-Yahoo CEO Terry Semel reportedly dated Casey and was also tied at one to Tila Tequila.

- British socialite and model Jasmine Lennard. Johnson was arrested in late November and charged with stealing $22,000 in underwear and jewelry from her Hollywood home. (Supposedly she used a vibrator and also left that on Jas' bed as well!)

- Heiresses Paris and Nicky Hilton. The famous sisters grew up with Johnson. Nicky Hilton is godmother to Casey's adopted daughter, Ava, 3.

"I am devastated," Paris Hilton said about Casey's death "I feel so sad, I don't want to believe it."

You can hear the Casey Johnson 911 call below...




In the after days of Casey's death. I have been reporting Tila Tequila's mourning tactics from her twitter page.

Casey's personal friends don't seem to like it very much and are speaking out...

"She keeps Twittering about her grief and her 'wifey,' but we know she's just using Casey's death for her own publicity. It's disgusting," a friend of Casey's told the NY Post.

"The truth is that if Tila did really care about Casey, where was she when Casey was truly in need, when Casey was on her own before New Year?"

Casey's ex-girlfriend Courtenay Semel is also speaking out. "The thing I find the most sickening is that the media is giving [her] the one thing she craves: attention. Tila, you knew her for a week," she told People.

Even Casey's former friend and ex Jasmine Lennard, who I reported sued Casey for home robbery, is coming to her defense. "You NEVER even knew her. You have known her for a total of one month you took advantage of someone in her weakest moment. You enabled her death and prevented her getting the help she SO DESPERATELY needed for YOUR OWN selfish purposes," she tweeted.

"You took advantage of a sick girl and YOU killed her. Shut your mouth back the fuck off and have some respect."

Tila, for her part, maintains that she was the only one looking out for Casey and sat down for a bizarre video farewell and posed for paparazzi outside her house. Seems like everyone is questioning Tila's motives in this. Check out her mourning photoshoot outside her house:

(CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE OF TILA'S MOURNING PHOTOSHOOT...)

So let me ask you this....

Do you think Tila is using Casey's death for publicity?

UPDATES IN AFTER DEATH CASEY JOHNSON:

Previously I reported that Tila and Nikki Hilton were fighting over Casey's dogs. (click here to read the story and watch the actual footage) Tila told press Nikki was planning on putting the dogs to sleep to be buried along side Casey.

Well, sources tell TMZ Elvis and Zoe were "taken to a veterinarian in Los Angeles for full checkups and were then released to the [Johnson] family."

Also has new details have emerged on the funeral arrangements for the late heiress.

A source tells us Johnson's funeral is scheduled for Sunday at 11 a.m. at the family plot in New Jersey.

A wake will be held tonight.

Paris Hilton Jealous Of Kim Kardashian & Family?

Paris Hilton, heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune, seems to be more than a little mad about the success of the Kardashian family. Paris is said to be furious that Kim Kardashian and the Kardashian family are more in demand than she is.

A source close to Miss Hilton said, “Paris is furious that Kim got her start by hanging out in Hollywood with her and now the Kardashians have it all – the reality shows, the magazine covers, the big appearance fees and promotional deals. She used to command $100,000 for club appearances, but now Kim is the hottest girl – and they aren’t friends anymore. The magazines are bidding around $300,000 for Kourtney’s baby shower and baby pictures. And Khloe’s wedding brought in record ratings.”

Paris has evidently even forbidden her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt, to hang out with his friend Brody Jenner, Star of the hit television show “The Hills”.

Brody spoke of this in a recent interview with Closer Magazine when he said, “We used to be best friends, now I never see him. Some people are so involved in relationships they lose their other friends. Partners come and go your friends are there for you always. I’m done. Paris has taken him away.”

AWW PARIS YOU GOT IT ALL! YOU BEEN THERE DONE THAT!! GET THAT OVERSEAS MONEY!! LOL =)
