I'll sue the pants off you

and that is exactly what has happened to Timbaland. Nearly 3 years ago it was reported that Timbaland stole a beat from an unknown producer and replicated for Nelly Furtado's "Do It" off her 2006, "Loose" album. You can read more about that story, Chris Brown's sentencing and Foxy Brown's special treatment in jail all below!

Timbaland Sued!

Nelly Furtado and hip hop producer Timbaland are facing a new plagiarism lawsuit over their 2006 hit “Do It.” They’re accused of illegal sampling a track from an album called “Acidjazzed Evening” by an artist from Finland named Janne (“yan-ay”) Suni which was remixed by Norwegian musician Glenn Rune Gallefoss. This is actually the second time that this lawsuit has come around. A court in Helsinki, Finland dismissed the case back in 2007, but Kernel Records, the Finnish company that owns the original recordings, has filed a fresh lawsuit in Florida.

This time they plan to use Timbaland’s own words against him. The record company claims to have an interview in which Timba incriminates himself by talking about the difference between sampling and stealing. Timbaland allegedly said, “Sample and stole is two different things. Stole is like I walked in your house, watched you make it… went to my house and told Nelly, ‘Hey, I got a great song for you.’ Sample is like you heard it somewhere, and you just sampled. Maybe you didn’t know who it was by because it don’t have the credits listed.”

I remember this story being a big deal some while ago. Just when I figured it was dead and gone, it comes back from the dead.

Chris Brown Faces The Music!

Chris Brown has avoided jail time in his assault case against Rihanna by reaching a last minute plea deal that involves probation, domestic violence classes, community service and having to stay at least 50 yards away from the pop starlet.

Brown, 20, will be sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community labor to be served in Virginia, according to People.com. He must also take one year of domestic violence classes, and pay fines. In exchange, he pleaded guilty to felony assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury.

Brown also was ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna – except at industry events, when it's 10 yards – despite a request from Rihanna's camp that the pair be allowed at the same place at the same time.

I was telling someone at work today that Chris got 5 years probation and he didn't believe me! I knew I saw that right cause BET also said it!

Foxy Brown Got Special Treatment In Jail?

The New York Post is reporting that prison officials at Rikers Island made Foxy Brown extra comfortable during her nine-month sentence for violating parole by assaulting nail-salon workers.

According to the newspaper, officials regularly hung out in her cell, brought her meals and makeup, gave her unlimited TV and phone use, and even carried her bags when she was released last April.

Foxy has already responded to these erroneous reports regarding her special treatment. This is kind of silly since Foxy has been out of jail for over a year and this is now being discussed. Someone has too much time on their hands.
