Rihanna Facing Huge Penalty for Failing to Appear in Court

For failing to appear in court and sitdown for her deposition,Rihanna may stand to lose millions, if her former money managers Berdon LLP, whom she sued last year, is able to convince the judge to penalize her for her resistance. The Barbadian princess is said to be applying some Lindsay Lohanantics of avoiding her courtroom appointments but her ex-accountants have apparently had enough.Berdon LLP is taking legal action against the recording artist for multiple absences for court-ordered depositions from November of last year until most recently, a June 19 court date reportedly due to an illness. The accounting firm had apparently spent $100,000 for arranging the June 19 deposition in London just toaccommodate the singer's schedule, but she ultimately was a no-show too that day.The accountants are slamming RiRi for her inexcusable behavior, saying the entertainer showed no signs of illness either before or after the scheduled deposition and was able to perform in her shows around that time and even tweeted about them. Citing they have been"pushed beyond the breaking point,"the firm wants the multi-million dollar case dropped and is asking for $100,000 for their wasted time and resources.Rihanna sued Berdon LLP back in 2012 for allegedly mismanaging hermoney. The New York-based accounting firm claims the artist's financial loss was the result of her own irresponsibility and that they have not swindled her or owe her anything.

Their nightlife features the usual hip-hop video staple of sexy women bopping to their music and even hanging out in the poolside, flaunting a Lamborghini in front of the Plaza Hotel and popping bottles left and right.The clip would also at times break into split screens to show some footage from their jam-packed live performances. Jamaican-American rapperSean Kingston, with whom Flo Rida collaborated in the past forthe track "Roll", drops a cameo in the flashy clip.After "Tell Me When U Ready", Flo Rida is set to release another new single and it's going to be again a collaboration, this time with Miami pop rapper Pitbull for a song entitled "Can't Believe It".

Justin Bieber Personally Apologizes to Bill Clinton AfterSlamming Him

After a video of him peeing in a mop bucket and saying "f**k Bill Clinton" leaked online,Justin Bieber does the decent act of personally approaching former U.S. President Bill Clinton to say sorry for the impropriety. The 19-year-old teen heartthrob thought well to own up to his blunder and talk to the former head of state to apologize."@billclinton thanks for taking the time to talk Mr. President. Your words meant alot. #greatguy," Bieber wrote on Twitter about their one-on-one. He was very fortunate to have caught the president in a good mood, as Clinton turned out to be cool about the whole situation, to the extent of saying, "If that is the worst thing you have ever done, all is well."On a more serious note, the former commander-in-chief advised the young pop superstar to be wary of the company that he keeps, a friend was said to have leaked the scandalous video, and to instead focus on the positive things he can do given his immense popularity and influence over his millions of followers. Bieber came back with heartwarming assurance that he would lend a hand to Clinton's Global Initiative as needed.The damage control is a wise move on Bieber's part considering the seemingly non-stop controversies that he has been getting into one after another. Most recently, he was slammed for standing on the Chicago Blackhawks logo in the team's locker room and posing withtheir Stanley Cup trophy which was a no-no.

Selena Gomez's 'Love Will Remember' Samples Possible Justin Bieber Voicemail

Selena Gomez revealed in a recent interview that break-up anthem"Love Will Remember" from her forthcoming album "Stars Dance" was about her failed romance with teen hearth rob Justin Bieber. The song has leaked, and right on the intro, it samples a voicemail that sounds like Bieber in one of his calls to Gomez."Hey babe, it's me. I just want to call and tell you that I love you so, so, so, so much. I just wanted to let you know that you are my princess. You are worthy of all the love in the world. You are the love of my life," the mystery voice professes. Gomez then responds with a query, "You said you loved me/ I said I loved you back/ What happened to that?"Unlike other break-up songs, Gomez's Rock Mafia-produced"Love Will Remember" is not laced with bitterness nor anger but rather expresses more of sadness and longing. With lyrics like "All your promises/ And all the plans we had" and "The trips we dream of takin'/ The tags left on the map/ What happened to that?," the song does try to focus on the good times rather than the ugly split."I think it's a sweet way of releasing it," Gomez said about "the most personal track on the record." "It's not an aggressive approach to what people are probably expecting. I'm sure he'll love it too," the Disney-bred star said about her Bieber-inspired tune.

Kanye West's 'Black Skinhead' Arrives Online

After the June 18 release of Kanye West's album "Yeezus", nothing new has come out of the rapper's promo mill since then, in contrast to the full arsenal of performances, building projections and multiple album cover artworks that Yeezy unleashed a month before it's much-anticipated debut. But the dryspell had just been broken with the emergence of his music video "Black Skinhead".Done with the aid of CGI, the new three-and-a-half-minute visuals shows West in animated form shirtless and roaming in a very darkspace. It features the howling wolves and spiked hoods first seen during his appearance on "Saturday Night Live" as musical guest a couple of months back where he debuted the track.The premiere of the "Black Skinhead" music video might just be the sign that West has gone back to the reliable approach of releasing a track to promote an album, amidst the whopping drop in sales his sixth studio album has recently suffered. The discussions over his new dark clip are expected to spark renewed interest in his album.Although West has initially revealedthat "I have this new strategy, it's called no strategy" for "Yeezus", he might need to rethink his plan especially in light of his pal Jay-Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" smashing debut. Even the media and public fanfare over the recent birth of his baby girl North with Kim Kardashianis just not translating into record sales for him.

Michael Jackson's Ex-Attorney Slams Reports of an Alleged MJ Cover-Up

It's been eight years since lawyer Tom Mesereau represented the lateKing of Pop Michael Jackson during the latter's molestation trial, but the Los Angeles-based attorney is speaking up once again to defend the iconic pop superstar. Mesereau rejected a recent tabloid report alleging that Jackson spent nearly $35 million to cover up the molestation crimes he allegedly committed mainly to silence the 24 boys he had been accused of sexually abusing, including their families."It's sickening that people are still trying to profit and exploit Michael Jackson in death," Mesereau told Radar Online, slamming choreographer Wade Robinson who has filed a lawsuit against Jackson's estate. He argued, "The FBI never had any files alleging that Michael Jackson had sexually abused 24 young boys, because it never happened. Believe me, if theyhad such information, it would havebeen presented at the trial."Mesereau insisted that the County of Santa Barbara District Attorney, working with the FBI and the Interpol, found no evidence of sexual abuse against his client that even the FBI's files relating to Jackson showed no findings of any wrongdoing. In like manner, Jackson was cleared by the Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services, after it conducted its own investigation.Robson hopes that by getting other supposed molestation victims to testify, he will be able to boost his case against Jackson. His motivationcomes from reports of secret documents compiled by Anthony Pellicano, a private investigator who was reportedly hired by Jackson to track down the victims to arrange payments for their silence.
