- Ladies, if you purchase Kim Kardashian’s new perfume from Sephora, all you will be doing is rewarding her lack of originality. It is a shame that Kim’s multimillion dollar company could not afford to get its own design, and had to leech off of someone else. Read more

Fake Chronic giving Dr. Dre munchies

- Wideawake Entertainment has re-released the Chronic, but forgot about asking Dr. Dre’s permission! His claim of trademark infringement has given him the munchies for more money!
- It all started back in 1992, Dr. Dre’s album Chronic was released by Death Row records; Suge Knight and Dr. Dre ran the company 50/50.
- Because of Knight’s lethal control of the label, Dr. Dre wanted to get out of Death Row. In a 1996 contract Dr. Dre escaped Death Row (no pun intended!) by ASSIGNING his 50% share back to Death Row Records.

- So if you were watching the Air Force commercial during the super bowl and thought to yourself, hey that background music sounds familiar, you weren’t alone. Jack White, of the White Stripes threatened to file a complaint against the Air Force Reserves stating that it sounds similar to his song “Fell in Love with a Girl” off the White Blood Cells album.
- Anyway, the songwriter for the commercial, Kem Kraft, told the New York Times, that he never meant to copy off the White Stripes, and that it was unintentional. He also says that he takes full responsibility for being a copy-cat and that the Air Force should NOT take any blame.
- F.A. does not believe Mr. Kraft one bit. I believe that he and the Air Force knew this before hand and simply did not want to bother paying for the licensing fees from the White Stripes to use the background music.
- Other than copyright infringement… do you think that the White Stripes anti-war image has been tarnished and could sue on a potential defamation/negligence claim?
