Nicki Minaj is currently filming the video for her next single “Super Bass” and yesterday, MTV aired a behind-the-scenes segment. Unfortunately Nicki didn’t say anything in her interview that blew my mind (except for that one line about “quenching everyone’s thirst because all these bitches are suckers,”) but the video does look hot. Very similar to something Rihanna or Gaga would do, but definitely a step up from the low-budget videos she was making back in the day.

As I’m sure you know, “Super Bass” is a favorite of both Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez (who posted a YouTube video of herself lip syncing to the track in her People Choice Awards dressing room.) I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is going to be her biggest hit so far.

Quentin Tarantino has filed a lawsuit against his neighbor Alan Ball, who just so happens to be the creator of True Blood, because he can no longer handle the constant screeching coming from Ball’s exotic bird collection. It sounds like a joke, but it’s not.

From TheHollywoodReporter:

Tarantino claims in his lawsuit, filed Thursday in L.A. County Superior Court, that the “obnoxious pteradactyl-like screams” coming from Ball’s “exotic bird menagerie” have “seriously disrupted [his] ability to work as a writer in his home.”

He adds that he’s also tried to resolve the matter with Ball — who also created the TV series Six Feet Under and won an Oscar for writing American Beauty — to no avail.

There’s a lot of things that are funny about this, but perhaps the most obvious thing is that, our of the two of these men, I think most people would dub Quentin as the weirdo. Like, I can totally see him with exotic birds, tigers, monkeys, et c. Alan Ball? I think of him as some boring TV dude. Who had any idea that he was so passionate about winged things? That’s kind of adorable, in a really odd way.

I’ll keep you guys updated. If Balldude gets his birds taken away, that’s going to be mad emotional.

We knew someone was going to capitalize on this whole “I’m Charlie Sheen, I drink Tiger Blood” thing sooner or later, and we (per usual) were totally right.

A company called Harcos is now offering “Tiger Blood” in packaging that’s meant to look like an IV drip, but is really just like, a bootleg Capri-Sun with a screw top.

From the Harcos website:

We have decided to do a limited edition of one of our products, converting it into Bi-Winning Tiger Blood.

It’s made from 100% passion specifically to make your brain fire in a way that’s not from this particular terrestrial realm. Tiger Blood allows you to use household items, you’re welcome to take more drugs than anyone can survive. Be different, have a different brain, and a different heart. When you feel Tiger Blood in your veins, you’ll realize dying’s for fools and that can’t is the cancer of happen. Period. The end.

Note: This product does not do any of the above, and we don’t know what banging 7 gram rocks means. It is, however, a delicious fruit punch flavored energy shot packing 80mg of caffeine. WINNING.

Also: Don’t do drugs. Seriously. Don’t. Do. Drugs.

Also x2: If you order a 12 pack, you get FREE SHIPPING!

Don’t you love how this company pretends to care about whether or not their customers are blowing fat rails, but still is profiting off the popularity of a woman-abusing madman?

I definitely won’t be trying Tiger Blood, if only because I learned my lesson last time there was a beverage craze (4Loko, I hate you,) but I’m sure some of you loons will be into this. Make sure to let me know if you get your hands on this stuff and let me know what you think.

Bath & Body Works was being threatened with legal action by Summit Entertainment, the people behind the Twilight movies to discontinue their scent, “Twilight Woods.” The production company claims that the retailer is trying to capitalize on their brand through unofficial merchandise. While a lesser overpriced lotion and fragrance manufacturer would buckle under the pressure, Bath & Body Works is all “Hell to the no!”

From TwilightLexicon:

Confusion in the marketplace? Summit allegedly thinks so. Now Bath & Body Works has beat Summit to the courthouse to stake its claim in federal court in Manhattan.

“The term ‘Twilight’ is used so as to evoke the idea of a particular time of day when the sun is just below the horizon, illuminating the landscape,” the lawsuit says. “Whereas defendant uses the term ‘Twilight’ to refer to defendant’s teen vampire saga.”

I’m going to have to side with Bath & Body Works on this one, although I hope I’m never forced to smell their shitty products again. Summit doesn’t get to own words commonly used to describe a type of day, and B&BW has always used really fucking dumb names for their products. My college boyfriend’s mom was obsessed with “Moonlit Path,” which to me sounds exactly like “Twilight Woods,” except later in the day.

Calm down, Summit. You’ll get all the money you deserve and then some. Leave the tacky mall store and its gross lotions alone.

We all thought she was just blatantly ripping off Madonna, but according to Korean pop group SNSD, she stole the sound for “Born This Way” from them.

The YouTube video below alternates between Gaga’s “Born This Way” and SNSD’s “Be Happy,” which as released a full year before Gaga’s song. SNSD says that, in addition to biting their beats, Gaga’s song has an almost identical message.

You’ll have to watch the video and decide for yourself if Gaga is ripping off SNSD, but I’m going to throw this out there: Since when does ANY pop music sound all that different than other pop music. Sure, there are similarities to be found, but I bet you could find similarities between two of even the most random pop songs on the radio. Most Top 40 hits are just canned beats shuffled around, it seems.

What do you think of the comparison? Are you convinced Lady Gaga is a plagiarist, or do you think that everyone’s kind of an accidental plagiarist these days?
